Phantom Phone Calls

Is it possible for those who have passed from this mortal coil to make contact from the spirit world through electronic media? Can a loved one make contact through the humble telephone to say one last good-bye or even give warning of impending disaster?

As odd as it may seem, this phenomenon is not an unusual one and occurs quite frequently, usually with in the first 24 to 48 hours after someone has died. However, many people have reported getting phone calls from deceased loved ones years after they have passed on.  These calls are nearly always filled with heavy static and the caller's voice sounds faint, as if it is coming from a great distance.

Countless people have reported receiving telephone calls that seem to have come from a deceased relative or friend. These strange calls usually happen not more than once or twice and are nearly always brief messages.
For some, these phone calls can be frightening, but for others they are a source of comfort and help grieving loved ones move on with their lives.

Often when a person receives such a phone call he or she may not realize, at first, that the person that they are talking to is someone who has passed on from this world and thinks that he or she is talking to corporeal person.

Man people have reported receiving phone calls from a person that they never knew directly in life, but receive an urgent message to relay to another person he or she and the deceased both know/knew. These types of phantom phone calls are more rare. Often, the recipients of such calls say that the voice sounds odd, almost mechanical or unreal in some way.

In most of these phantom phone call cases, people reported that the ring
sounded different than it usually did. The tone would be different and the rings would come in shorter than usual bursts.  Considering that paranormal investigators use all sorts of electronic equipment to detect spirit activity due to the fact that spirits do indeed seem to be able to communicate through electronic means; then it is not at all far fetched to think that the spirits of departed friends or loved ones could conceivable use the telephone as a medium to make contact between this world and theirs.

If this is indeed the case, then it is quite possible that one day we may find a way to develop such a device that is specifically designed to be able to allow direct interaction with the spirit world using the basic telephone technologies and developing them to a whole new level.  Not only would this enable people to talk to their loved ones, but it would invariable prove that we continue to live on even after physical death. Perhaps we could gain new insights as to what happens after we die and remove the fear and uncertainty from this seemingly inevitable process. 

Until such a time comes, the mystery of these phantom phone calls will continue to be just that, a mystery.

I dont believe in any of this. Once you are dead you go to either heaven or hell and there aint no phones in either place.

Several days after my mom passed away my phone would ring 2-3 times at the same time every morning. No one was on the other end and this was the same time of day my mom used to call me to visit. These calls continued for about a week.

I think I just had this happen to me the other night. It was from an unknown number, and the call sounded so distorted and not anything or from someone I had heard before. The only thing I could make out was, "Hi babe, im here" and then it would sound staticy and then I also heard a distorted womans voice. I honestly dont know what happened it was the strangest eeriest feeling and I honestly cant explain whom or what it could have been.
I wish i would have stayed on the phone longer, but I only listened for a minute. :-(

Lillian, I am sure that your mother knows that your niece loves her, although im not sure if she literally heard it during that particular call. If the text went through, it is quite possible that your mother received it :)

If I were you, I would try calling that number a few more times, you never know, one time she just might answer.... Either way, she knows you love her if she knew it in life. Additionally, if she is able to call, she probably has been watching over the family and sees how much you miss her. From what i understand, oftentimes these "spirits" do not have enough strength to carry on long conversations and therefore disconnect after a short message, which would explain the lack of response to the "I love you." I sincerely hope that you receive a sign that your mother had heard you and receive the peace you need in this difficult time :) I've heard stories of people getting daily calls from a passed loved one for many years, and maybe you will have such fortune to receive daily updates from your obviously beloved mother <3
How old are you by the way? I'm curious as you say that you text messaged her.. I would love any updates because your story brings tears to my eyes while dealing with the passing of many loved ones! Please post here any details, and if you'd like to chat I'll post my auxillary e-mail address :)

Also, I have some mediumistic abilities, and you never know if I could receive some small piece of information from your mother... if I had a picture I'd love to try, and I would be sure to try and get information that no one else knows so you can be sure that it is indeed her... but idk. I hope to hear from you soon!
