I had this happen to me once. It wasn't until just now that I realized it was probably a lie.
Ahhh, thanks. I misread.
That makes more sense.
It did to me too but I found the source LOL. About 1:00am 15 years ago the K-9 patrol deputy comes up my driveway. My overzealous Lab had warned me. I went outside once I saw it was a patrol car. The K-9 was barking, my dog was barking, Officer was yelling are you OK? I yelled yea. He said we got a 911 call from here. I said I didn't call. End of it he left. I went in the house and picked up my phone and I could hear popping and cracking on the line along with dial tone then I would hear it start ringing a line somewhere.
Here's what happened. Phones lines even today due to a federal law are required to work on rotary phones. The trouble in the phone line was opening and closing the circuit just as a rotary phone does and the central offices recognizes it as a number. My phone line called 911.
I called the sheriffs office {from my computer dial up service phone line} and told their dispatch what was going on. It was a new one on them.
