I was jarred out of a sound sleep this morning at 6:15 AM. I figured I should answer it at that time of the day. Since the phone is downstairs, I headed down the stairs and realized the sound was that of the old dial phones, an actual bell sound, not one of the newer phones like I have. It only rang 3 times, but since I was half-way down I, would check and see who was calling. Nothing showed up on the phone as a call. Went back to bed and sleep.

I got up around 7:30 or so and went through normal routine, putting on coffee, turning on computer and getting a cup and going back to computer. The first thing always check is the Obituary column. My mental thought was to check on a lady I know to read her obituary. I didn't find it … I couldn't figure it out, since I knew she had died.


The morning went on and nothing out of the ordinary until about 10:30, when my brother called me to tell me that the lady had died. I told him I knew that. And he asked who told me? I said, I don't know. I asked when died she die …. he said at 6:15 Am this morning. All I could say was … OH CRAP!


This is true … no stories here … just wanted to let everybody know if they hear a phone ringing. and it is the old bell sound and you don't have one of those phones …. Well....

If I hear a phone like that I'm staying under the covers in case the call is for me.

Saved by the bell, or maybe not.

Old Alfred Hitchcoch movie rich gal is in jail. Caretaker is going blind and she promises him if he will get her out she will pay for operation on his eyes. So when someone dies they always rang a bell, when she ever hears it she is to go crawl in on top of the guy in the box and the caretaker would dig her up as soon as it got dark. She is laying is the box waiting and wonders whats taking so long, strikes a match and pulls the cloth off his face and its the guy that is supposed to dig her up.
I think first thing I would do is blow that match out, its burning oxygen.

Many things come to us in are dreams, and they are not always clear to us.
If you could remember the dream you were having when you woke up to the ringing of the phone, it may shed some light on the meaning of that phone call.
Many things connect us to other people in our lives.
Just a thought to pounder

When I was a teenager my grandmother was living with us and she had a old clock that had not worked in many years. One night she had been in the hospital for a couple days and that clock chimed. A while later my mom called to let us know that she had died. She died at the very time that clock chimed. What makes it even weirder is that it chimed again exactly one year later. It’s still there and has never made a peep since.

Strange things. Similar thing happened to me, cept the bell part. On October 31, went to bed at 10:00pm. Woke up, wide awake thinking it was time to go to work. Looked at the clock and it was only 12:07am. Went back to sleep and the next morning saw my sister-in-law had called. Called her back and she told me my brother had passed away. Yep, he passed away at 12:07am.

Very true

Some things we just can't explain or understand

The mind and soul are power things. We don't understand in how all the things they are connected. I was working nights at a hospital. Between 3-4 am, we used to have to file all the paper orders that had come into the pharmacy that day into individual patients folders. My one uncle had been going down hill with conjecive heart failure and parkinsons. While I put away files, I had the thought that I didn't think he was going to last much longer. Found out later from his kids that he passed about that time that early morning. Was his spirit telling me while in his final moments or while he was heading to heaven...? I guess I'll find out when I see him again there someday...

It's was probably "The Final Escape", which aired on the Alfred Hitchcock Hour first, with a man as the escapee and on Alfred Hitchcock Presents later, with the escapee changed to a woman.

My great grandparents gave me a lot of the books that Alfred Hitchcock produced, when I was a kid.

Years ago I responded to a trouble report of a distant phone ringing somewhere in a customers house. It took a while to find but hidden in one corner of the attic was an old bakelite desk phone next to a little sitting stool. It seems that a previous home owner had tapped the line up there to eavesdrop on conversations and the bell wasn't audible to the present owner until his own ringer quit working. He had lived in the house for many years and was sure he was losing his mind, we had a good laugh over it.
