Hey ATS!
I feel I should mention that this is my first thread…so please bear with me.
I’m not a huge believer in ghosts, per se, but I can certainly entertain the possibility of other ‘realms’ or ‘dimensions’ of existence that
humans do not understand yet.
I say this because recently (Jan 1/14), my girlfriend and I were relaxing in the living room of our apartment watching the first season of Breaking
Bad on Netflix (I guess we finally wanted to see what all the hype was about).
As we’re sitting there quietly engrossed in the show, her iPhone suddenly lights up, as if she’s received a new text. She glances over at it and
all I hear is “W...T...F?!” (censorship mine)
I look over and her screen says “Calling Oma & Opa…”
This is REEEALLY weird given that BOTH her Oma & Opa (grandparents) passed away just over a year ago, on December 24, 2012.
Her Oma was very ill with multiple health issues and her Opa had fallen and broken his hip while visiting Oma in the hospital. After a week or so
spent in SEPARATE hospitals, they both passed away on Christmas Eve – Oma passed away around 7pm and, as if waiting for his wife, Opa passed away
shortly thereafter, around 10pm.
Them both passing away on the same day and close to the same time but in DIFFERENT locations was certainly a strange, yet somewhat comforting,
situation.
My gf was very close to her grandparents, so last Christmas was very difficult. This Christmas was better but still brought back some of those sad
feelings. She regularly tells me how much she misses them, espeically as Christmas drew closer.
Despite her grandparents being constantly on her mind, my gf has not called this number in over a year. In fact, there would be no point because
number is no longer in service; her family sold their grandparents condo a while ago.
The number is still in my gf’s contact list; however, she wasn’t even touching her phone at the time. Nobody was. It was just sitting there while
we were watching TV.
Has anyone else heard of this?
For her cell phone to suddenly and randomly, apparently all on its own, dial THAT number out of ALL the potential numbers in her contact list is
stretching the limits of coincidence, IMHO. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up and both of us were in utter disbelief as to what we were
witnessing. She was quite freaked out and quickly hit "end call".
I’m still not sure what to make of it.
Was it just some random electronic interference (does that even happen??)…or…something more?
