Being haunted through your mobile ?

Paranormal investigator Phil Hayes has claimed that a third of hauntings take place via mobile phone.

Such "haunted calls" usually involve heavy static and faint, distant voices coming through the receiver. Whether such calls are down to paranormal activity or simply to technical issues however remains a matter of debate.

Ghosts are trying to make contact with living friends using mobile phones, a paranormal expert claims. The number of mystery calls to mobiles attributed to spooks has rocketed by 43 per cent in the last four years, a study found.

So you will not accept that some calls can be remade accidently, by the phone companise in some way? Also, most if not all calls are recorded, whos to say some glitch in the network causes this to happen from time to time, may be thats why it's only a very few who have had it happen as i don't see or hear it on the local/international news.

No, I don't accept that. Again, I believe you're grasping at anything in an attempt to reinforce whatever your beliefs are. I don't know what caused these calls, but have never heard of a phone company repeating calls out of the blue months after they were originally placed. Please look at the facts. You don't have to believe the calls came from a dead relative, and I'm not saying I do, but: 1) Telephone calls (not just voice mail messages) were received from a my dad's number months after he had passed 2) This happened on two seperate occasions 3) His number was ...

Not 'grasping' at anything, just don't believe in the dead and that they can phone home like some ET. How about this then why not you phone them and see what happens, i bet i know the answer.

Were those comments to another member of this site really necessary? Phone who? Phone what? I'm not asking you to believe (nor do I care), just relaying my personal story concerning this subject. Sorry if my sister's experience upset you, but we're here for open discussion, right? I honestly don't know what to make of it, either.

My comments are valid, if the phone call was genuine then phone it back and see what happens, you come here for answers i just gave you an answer, as ghosts do not exist as far as i am concerned anyway, this as no other explanation than being one of a person still in grief of the loss, or looking for something thats not there because there not capable of letting go, which is understandable i suppose, but other things could have caused it like the couple i have put forward, but you seem to want to hear the opposite to my thoughts, i wonder why? Maybe your mind is already made up also...

If you completely read my post, you would have noticed that I said the caller ID number was my dad's. You would have also noticed that I did mention that we attempted to call the number, which I believe would be the natural reaction and course of action of anyone, considering the circumstances. You should have also noticed that I never claimed it was a call from my deceased father, as that is so far-fetched, but I also believe your explanation is equally remote. In other words, I don't believe either is possible. That is why I stated that I don't know what to make of it. It is m... [More]

Thanks for reply anyway. And yes i have read your replies and i stated what i stated, no change in my opinion either. This is just wishful thinking on the part of those who have lost and cannot let go, i too have lost both parents but i have learned to let go and move on, not hope that they are going to appear on the stairs or phone me asking how i am or something, thats not me being cold thats me being a realist.

I am sorry for your loss of your parents. You cannot generalize and assume these are all reports from grief-stricken family members who cannot "let go". How can you make that assumption without knowing any people who have experienced this? You don't believe, and I get that. I'm a skeptic, maybe you don't get that. You cannot judge others so quickly out of your beliefs. If a seemingly paranormal event happens to someone that cannot be immediately pushed-aside, you cannot assume that the person reporting the event is crazy, mistaken, lying or (in the case of my family) ...

Hello....first post but long time reader. The husband of my cousin died about 3 weeks ago. Nobody rang his mobile as he was a bit deaf (he had it for emergencies I suppose) but a couple of days after his departure his phone rang. I quite accept it could have been a wrong number but it does make me wonder whether he was showing that he was still around. I think she said there was no number showing on the display.

Did his phone ring or was it a call from his phone? Could have also been a telemarketer, debt collector, phone survey....
