'I wonder what the afterlife is like.' 'Obviously they have phones there.'

Creepy true story:

I woke up the morning of October 18th, checked my phone and saw a missed call from my uncle George at 1:52.
George died October 11th.
After I got the call I went over to see his husband, who claimed the phone was off and in a drawer.

That is creepy. Was his phone not disconnected?

Not disconnected, but off. I spoke with his partner about it, who said he had been looking through earlier in the evening to get contact numbers for those who didn't know George had passed. He insists that the phone was off and he was asleep at 2 a.m.

About 15 years ago, the night a good friend of mine died suddenly, I had received a phone call (landline) where nothing showed up on the caller ID, and there was just air on the other end. Based upon the autopsy report, the phone call was shortly after she probably died. A few years ago, I went to a seance, and the medium contacted her and told me that, yes, it was her calling that night. Creepy but also kind of comforting.

That is amazing!! Ghostly phone calls are quite comforting, and (I don't know about you, but-) they make one feel special.
