interesting.

the only phone thing along this line happened years ago -- the day my dad died. he had been on a noisy respirator that had a sound all it's own. after he passed i came home and got on the phone to call a friend and i heard that respirator on the phone line. at this point i don't recall if i heard it over the ringing (my friend never answered, he wasn't home) or if i heard it before the call was connected and began to ring. but it freaked me out to no end!

after that i had two dreams about him--where he was walking better than he had been able to (and no longer using a cane) and the second dream where he walked perfectly and looked happy and healthy.

maybe that respirator sound was kind of a fluke--maybe he was still trying to get his bearings (it had only been 2 or three hours since he died)

my mom and i had a signal for the phone and it's always surprised me that she never signaled me after she took flight. the first couple of years i got a lot of signs from her but never the phone signal we had.

maybe that respirator sound was kind of a fluke--maybe he was still trying to get his bearings (it had only been 2 or three hours since he died)

Just speculating, but maybe he was able to reproduce the respirator sound because it is electrical. As you know, they seem to be able to facilitate communication better when they have some way to tap in through electricity, so he had both the phone to work with as well as the respirator sound.

I read some EVP experiments and the researchers use white noise for just that reason.

Another thing that occurs to me about the respirator is something that was told to me by a friend who has had many encounters with those who have crossed over. She was taught this by a NYC medium. She said those who have recently crossed over will use something familiar to us as a way of introducing themselves.

When my friend's dog (Crumpet) crossed over, her spirit came to visit me the following morning. When I saw Crumpet in the visitation, she was next to this long, thick, very ornate drapery panel. In her later years, she loved sleeping next to that panel and many conversations between my friend and I took place with her snoozing away in the room, next to this drapery panel.

I told my friend about this and that's when she told me what the NYC medium had said.

So based on this, I'm thinking that your dad used the respirator sound to communicate because it was familiar to you.

Now, your mom...I'm thinking on that one.

at that point in time the sound was all too familiar--horribly familiar. of course his voice would have been a bit nicer to hear.

I was taking a short seminar given by a fairly well-known paranormal investigator in our area at the time. I came home one night from one of the sessions and the phone almost immediately rang. There was nothing but fuzz on the other end, some words in the distance maybe that I could not make out. I hung up the phone and picked it back up again and my mother was on the other end. I asked her if she had just tried to call and had a bad connection and she said no, that she had just dialed and I picked up without so much as a ring on her end.

That night I had a dream of a friend who had committed suicide several years before. I wasn't even thinking of this woman at the time. In the dream we were in a park we were both familiar with and she stood on one side of the sidewalk and I and another friend, who was very close to this lady, stood on the other. It was like we could not cross that sidewalk to where she was just barley in the park. She was absolutely glowing, it was like a golden aura surrounding her, she was very beautiful. She simply smiled at us and we smiled back at her. No words were spoken between us, just smiles shared.

I made sure to tell my living friend from the dream about this, but she didn't seem to quite get it that our friend was fine. I really believe the phone call was from her and she picked me because I was open due to the seminar I was currently attending and she really wanted to make sure her good friend that was with me knew she was ok. This is actually one of the few incidences in my life that I consider paranormal. It was beautiful.

but I do have a friend who has had them. Even though there hasn't been a specific message from her deceased relatives she seems to know which one is calling, and why.

My dad let me know- without a phone call. I was at a sleepover. In the morning I got called home at 7 AM, which confirmed what I had speculated to my friends in the earlier hours. Most of my siblings had similar experiences that night.
