A few days ago I was thinking about calling my mother but was on the phone with someone else. I got off the phone with that person and immediatly called my mother. When she picked up the phone she asked me if I had just called and hung up. I told her no, I had just got off the phone with someone else. My Mother told me that right before I called her The phone had rung once and my number showed up on the caller I.D. When she answered, noone was on the phone. I told her I must have been thinking to hard. Well what is everyones opinion was I really thinking to hard or was it a phone problem?

hi,
the same thing happened to me.it shocked me when my dad said my number was on his caller id and i had'nt called him yet.no one else was home,so it could'nt have been dialed by mistake etc.kinda makes you wonder if the phone company knows something we don't!!

thanks.

This may sound strange, but I feel like that mothers have deep bonds (maybe even psychic ones) with their children. In the womb a mother is connected physically to her child via the umbilical chord so why shouldn't they stay connected in some way once the chord is severed? I dunno, just what I think.

If there are nonhuman intelligences amongst us, or if our own intelligences wander off and do extremely improbable things without our conscious knowledge, then one thing is certain: They play games with telephones. This is documented everyhere. Not just telephones, but radios, televisions, tape recorders, video cameras, automobile ignition systems, electric lights, and practically any electric or electronic thing you have. I don't know quite how to explain occurrences like the one described above in terms of ordinary electronics malfunction, and they are reported very commonly.

That reminds me of the story of an apparent EVP picked up on an answering machine I read about a year ago, turns out it was meant to be the dad of the guy since he said on the phone just before going out driving to his fatal car accident exactly a year before that he would call thier son at a certian time, the answering machine said that exact time a year later before playing the EVP but the number was withheld, kinda strange and i don't know if it was urban legend or not.

What button would cause the phone to dial out, during a call, unbeknownst to the phone user?

Whichever button I say does.

Flash + speed dial button + dial + flash.
I have done it before. I noticed it though. Though I routinely hold the button on my shoulder and accidentally mash several buttons at once with my face. I've done it so often, I fail to notice anymore. So that combination could have been hit, and when it went back to flash, the call still went through enough on the other end to trigger caller ID, but the poster wouldn't have noticed.
I'm not saying it isn't paranormal. I'm just pointing out that, unlikely as it seems, accidental button mashing with interesting results does occur. Which I think is way more interesting.
And boorite and I already argued this five minutes ago anyway...

SOmething happened with my GRANDmother a couple of weeks ago. On a thursday, I was laying on my bed and then I felt like someone pushed my side a little, and then I got this feeling that was telling me that my grandmother was angry! (I live in the US, and my grandmother in South America). 2 days later i remembered that that thursday had been my grandma's bday and I hadn't called her

I felt so bad

[font=Book Antiqua][size=6][i]The same thing happens to me and my family all of the time. We constantly connect with each other, Sometimes one person will think of two other people and they both will call that one person on seperate lines. Our favorite phrase is "you knew I was thinking about you". Some bonds are strong and hard to explain.

What also happens to me a LOT is that if I'm hanging out a LOT with a friend, after a while is like I syncronize with her/him and like we would say the same thing at the same time, or she/he would think about something and I'll think the same.

Here we go again.
Formula:
Someone comes in and posts that something happened to them and what on Earth could it be?
People respond. Some with logical explanations. Some with less than logical explanations, but explanations nonetheless.
Poster states to logical person that there's no way it could be their explanation because of various reasons right or wrong.
Poster decides who he wants to believe and just pretty much goes with what he thought was happening when he posted originally and ignores logical people or gets mad at them for not thinking the way he was thinking.

Hello FRiends:
Something simmilar happend to my mother
about 6 month ago.
She got a call from my grandfather(her dad) on
her cellular but she had the cellular in her purse
and did not hear it when it ring,so she had a missed
call on her phone from my grandfather cellular.
The thing is my grandfather had died 2 days BEFORE
that!!

The button-mashing scenario is plausible, though a little complicated. Now we hear that there's no speed-dial on the phone, which would've been handy to know before. But it was a good hypothesis.
Another possible explanation is that somebody called the mom's number and hung up before caller ID could get their number. When this happens, caller ID of course still shows the previous caller as the last one. If Mom wasn't careful to check the time on the caller ID entry, she would get the mistaken impression that the last caller on the list had just called. If this caller had been our original poster, then we have an explanation.

ya know what your a smart a--. I was just stating that the phone had no flash or speed dial. Before you post ignorant messages ya need to get it right and keep it right.

You know what? Name calling is against the rules of this board. You're the one who posted the eye rolling smilie like I'm supposed to know what kind of phone you're dialing on.
And my message was not ignorant because well looky here, you're following the formula now, aren't you?
I'll post what I want to post within the rules and you better learn to do that as well.

najaesouljah, resorting to name-calling is childish and low.
If thats what you have to do, to get your point across, you might be better off not saying anything at all.

All this talk about psychic bonds and clairvoyance is all fine and well, but it's probably just a
problem with your moms caller ID.
