Completely Ot & Weird: How Does This Happen?

[AJPratt]

My brother and SIL were away over the weekend. They have been staying with us while thier new home is being built, BTW.

When they come home, my SIL wanted to know what I called her for. I said that I hadn't called her. She then shows me her cell phone that said that she had a missed call from me, with my home number listed, on Friday at 11:30pm. I am 99% sure my husband and I were in bed asleep at that time. And I know neither one of us had called her. In fact, I don't think I have ever called her cell from the house. She is usually home. Its an old phone, so its not like we could hit a stored number by accident or hit redial or anything.

I mean, how does that happen? How does it show up on her caller ID when I didn't call her. The only time I have called her is from my cell. I don't even think I know her cell # to dial it.

This is probably completely unrelated but, my grandfather died on August 24th at 11:30pm in 1995. Is that not the oddest thing you have ever heard of?

Actually, it happens a lot with phone systems. Around here there are a few numbers that had to be disconnected because they repeatedly called 9-1-1 - even with all phones accounted for, lines traced and the police standing there. Verizon has had quite an issue I know...

I actually had something similar happen to me. It is freaky though that it happened on the date and at the time that your grandfather died. That part freaked me out a little bit.

That is weird - My sister go a call on her phone from a young man wro work a 11:30 p.m. on either the 24th or 25th I heard her calling work asking if it was so n so's number. Kind of weird. Apparently this kid has some issues and she was assuming he might have called drunk or something

Wow, weird! My bf's blinking alarm clock reset itself Sat night while we were both sleeping....only 5 mins off!! (the clock was reset a few nights ago when the power went out....and he hadn't reset it yet...)

Heidi (my SIL) said it was late but she didn't tell me the actual time until later. I will never forget that night or the time he died. My minister came in after visiting hours. I was by myself with my grandfather and the minister and I said a prayer over him. The minister was saying "We know you are a fair and just God..." As he was saying that, I was thinking, "Fair and just? God, you know this is not fair or just to do this to a man like him, so either you give him back to us whole, or you take him. This is not fair or just. You know he is suffering."

At 11pm that night, he was sleeping and my Mom told me to go home. I got home around 11:20. My boyfriend at the time didn't want to leave me alone, so we sat and watched TV. At 11:30 my Mom called to say he was gone. She actually had fallen asleep and woke up to what she thought was someone yelling at her and the chair her legs were resting on being pulled out from under her. She got up to check on him and he took his last breath.

geez Anne, that whole story gave me goosebumps. Kinda scary.

Wow! What a story!! I love this stuff....I totally believe in it. I'm sure your grandfather is still with you and is watching over you. Kind of a nice feeling, I think!

When my SIL's husband died 8 years ago, he had $3.33 left in his pocket and for a very long time, my SIL would wake up through the night at 3:33!!! I always think of him too when I see 3:33 on the clock!

Wow, that is strange!

I believe it! I have had quite a few experiences with my grandmother who I was EXTREMELY close to(dads mom) and my grandfather (my moms dad). They were very real experiences and one of them I was awake for!! No doubt in my mind.
They are all still here looking out for loved ones. It is a very nice feeling even though I wish I could get one more hug. :angel:

I certainly believe that our loved one who pass are really only as far away as an arm's length, And, I know they look out for us and that there is a presence, that they give signs that they are still here. I have also had experiences with my Nana and Dap, awake and sleeping. Its proof that love transcends many things. I have also been pushed down stairs before, too, so its been interesting. I didn't get hurt, but I know they were trying to hurry me out of that house.

One thing I will never forget is that my Nana who had alzheimer's towards the end of her life kept calling me "Judy". I think my Mom has a cousin named Judy. It didn't matter to me, I mean, it did hurt a little, but I would answer to it because I know the feelings for ME where still there, she just had the wrong name. My Nana died when my niece was about a month old. Anyway, we were over my brother's house and my niece was about 3 at the time. She and I were playing. All of the sudden, she jumps up, grabs my face/neck and starting jumping up and down and yelling and laughing over and over "I love you, Judy! I love you, Judy! I love you, Judy! Judy, Judy, Judy!" I looked at my brother and said, "Who's Judy?" They were mildly amused, but had no idea who she was talking about. Her parents turned white when I said, "Well, I don't think you know this, but just before Nana died, she used to call me Judy." She doesn't like to get out of her bed at night because she sees people--not monsters; people. Her Mom thinks she's imagining things, but I know my brother knows what she means, even though he might not admit it.
