Weird Phone Call, page 2

Nods. Keep track of this incident, note date and time the call happened. That way if it happens again you have a record for the police. Because she made a threat, they will take it seriously (well, some officers do). If she calls again, then yes make sure you contact the police and report it. She may very well be mentally ill and perhaps had an altercation with your husband. Something that seems slight to your husband, could appear as something life changing or significant to someone who has a mental illness. Keep us posted.

Ugh. Not funny at all.

Since the nature of this joke was pretty serious, here is my advice. He's going to expect payback. Since he's a prankster after all. The best torture, is to keep him waiting. Make him think you are plotting payback without doing anything at all. It's like that episode of Family Guy where Stewie says Brian can have just one punch as payback. By the end of the episode, Stewie had wet his pants and was begging for forgiveness every time Brian raised his hand.

You can tell I had three older siblings growing up. My brother just used violence to show his frustration - my sisters were more about the mental torment.

I was basically raised as an only child. My brother is a lot older than me so he didn't pick on me a lot. But my husband and him have been best friends for 15 years. I don't know where to start!

he wants a reaction. Don't give him one!

Have him report the entire thing to the police. As close to word-for-word as he can manage. If it was a prank, no big deal. If it was some psycho stalker, then you need a record of everything. Contact your cell phone company, too, and see if they have any way to trace the call. If it's a threatening call, there might be a way. It had to connect somehow. Have the police ask them, if it comes to that. The cop friend should be able to help.

Meanwhile, take a look at everyone you know. If the number isn't posted someplace, it almost has to be someone that you gave it to. Don't mention this to ANY other friends, and tell him to listen to every female you know talking, to see if the voice is familiar. Also, if he can record calls on his cell, have him do that, too. If nothing else, place it on speaker, and use a voice recorder or something.

I really hope it was just some prank, but there are a lot of stalker types out there. It doesn't even have to be someone that he, or you, actually wronged, either. Some of those types invent things in their heads. Since she made threats about needing money, I would suggest watching your accounts, just in case, for anything odd. Maybe set up a camera outside, too, aimed at the car, in case she actually does try something. OH.....have him check the lugs, every time he goes out. When we had some dealer types in our neighborhood, that didn't seem to like us spending time out on our front porch, because, well, we could see people coming and going, the lugs on my husband's car were loosened. Thankfully, the wheel came off as he was turning onto our street, and not on the highway. The point is, that is something you would not see right away, that could work loose later.

That is weird, it would spook me too. Did you try to star-69 the call? Or, do you have the number in caller ID. Google that number if you have it.

It was on a cell phone and it came up unknown caller with no number. Can you *69 on a cell?

Yes, you can, but it won't work if the number shows as unknown or private. Only recourse there is to have the phone company trace it. Inform them of the issue, and they should be able to take steps. be pushy if need be.

Sounds strange, but it can happen. The button lock can be disabled, if one is pressed and held long enough. You could have bumped the purse, and not realized it, causing that to happen. I know on my son's phone, there is an external button that calls the last number if pressed, too. Some do that. Non-flip phones, even easier, if the button lock becomes disabled. Since you saw your specific phone calling her, i would guess that is what happened.

Also, an older one we had.....well, it broke, in half. The screen disconnected from the main part, and the phone had to be replaced. While it was broken, it somehow kept calling my phone, even when sitting on a table untouched. So, it's also possible some weird glitch in your phone caused this.

I have had my brother-in-law pocket dial me more than once.

I hope you are right on this. I guess I am jumping to conclusions thinking this is something sinister when it is probably as innocent as you suggest.

I just have this feeling of worrying that there is something more to it. I shall keep my eyes open but play this down to what you suggest above unless something else happens.

Nothing wrong with wondering! it's possible there is more to it, and your instincts are trying to warn you. Best thing I can suggest is to test your phone. See if you can place it in the purse, as you had it then, and see if you can push on the purse and get a similar result. Be sure the last number called is a family member or friend that can understand the test. If you can duplicate the incident, problem probably solved. If not, well, I would wonder, too!

Do you have any other issues with your phone? A battery draining too quickly can be a sign of some sort of hacking, as can a phone that seems warm when you haven't been using it.

Maybe you came to the past from the future, provided you keep the same number and phone far into the future, and were calling your sister to warn her of something and because of the same number phone in the same timeline in two places, it still registered on your phone as calling to her. Now we will never know because the wrong "you" connected, and the warning didn't go through. Hey, it's possible especially with paradoxes, if there is an auto correct so paradoxes (or changing history) cannot happen this would be why the "You" from now are the only one to have connected with her. I am liking this theory.
