Phantom Phone Calls

-

 


What would you do if you received a phone call from someone that couldn't possibly have made it? What would you do if they sounded like them, knew things about you and talked to you like they always used to? The only problem being they are dead. Would you hang up? Talk to them one last time? Or just listen? Some people have had to answer these questions. Join us as we look at the strange and unusual phenomena of ghostly phone calls.

The phenomena itself has a fairly straightforward pattern usually a person will receive a phone call from a loved one (family member, husband, wife, significant other or close friend) the conversation may appear quite ordinary but after the person hangs up they find out that the person they were talking to had died. Other versions of this phenomena have the person receiving the call well aware that the person who is on the other line died weeks, months or years earlier. They are often a loving message or a final farewell or a message of support during challenging times and very occasionally a warning.

The first type of call has a close connection to what are known as crisis apparitions. Where the spirit is saying a final goodbye just over the phone rather than in a corporeal form usually around the time of death and usually because they are many miles away. The other time maybe mire closely associated with guardian angels who help people in their time of need.

This phenomena has been reported over analogue and digital mediums and both on land lines and mobile devices.  Often the number is unavailable or untraceable but even when the number can be found it is more often than not a number that has never existed.

There never seems to be any malice or ill intent in the contacts from beyond and can often offer a sense of peace and contentment that the recipient may have been searching for.  For now and the forceable future the truth behind these calls may be out of reach but it's nice to know someone is always looking out for you through the good times and the bad.

Until next time

Farmer believes puma responsible for death of sheep

A North Wales farmer has told the local press that he has lost 10 sheep since July from what he believes is a puma stalking his farm animals. He states that they are killed by a single distinctive bite to the neck and if the carcass is left more is taken away (presumably eaten by the same animal) over the next few days. The attacks were in the Beddgelert area of North Wales near Snowdonia. The exact location has been withheld due to fears hunters may try to go after the animal. The farmer has also said that a neighbour has had a ram killed and another neighbour (or possibly the same one as it us not stated) saw a large cat (about three times the size of a domestic cat) light brown in colour jump over a wall back in August.  This is not the first time this area of Wales has been subject to suspected big cat attacks as in 2015 the same area of Nantmor and Beddgelert. Where more sheep had been were lost (assume killed) and a witness reported seeing a mother puma with cubs! Area where a pu

The Shag Harbour Incident

  On October 4th 1967 a remarkable event took place in which the tiny an relatively unknow fishing village of Shag Harbour and its residents would be put on the world map once and for all. The incident drew enough attention to be investigated by both the civilian RCMP and Coast guard and military Canadian navy and air force. The story is as follows. Multiple residents of the tiny fishing community of Shag Harbour began to notice strange orange lights in the sky in the evening of the 4th (approx. 11.20pm Atlantic Daylight Time) this was reported by multiple witnesses who generally believed there were four noticeable lights. The lights were flashing in sequence and then without warning dived at a steep angle towards the waters surface. However the lights did not crash in to the water but instead hovered above the waters surface approximately half a mile off shore. At first believing they may have witnessed a plane crash out at sea RCMP Constable Ron O'Brien was contacted by Laurie Wi

The Devil's Footprints

  On a cold Snowy February 1855 a strange event occurred through both East and South Devon that is still often mentioned to this day, that event would become known as the Devil's footprints. After a night of heavy snowfall the areas around Exe Estuary woke to a strange sight, a series of hoof like foot prints could be seen they stretched for between some 40-100 miles crossing gardens and roof tops. The explanation for this if lore is to believed is that the residents of East and South Devon were visited by the devil that wintery night as he wandered through the county plotting some nefarious deeds no doubt and all that was left as the witness were his cloven hoof marks.   The hoof prints were traced over haystacks, through walls and even roofs this was certainly not the works of the local wildlife unless deer and horses can climb and pass through solid objects. The Times described the prints as  the Times the footprints were described as:  "more like that of a biped than a qua
