My turn?

Nothing really interesting happened to me except for some rapping in my mother's bedroom, after she had died. I had slept there several times, and nothing unusual - except for the night of her funeral.

Also, a dream that I had of one of my favorite cats a few weeks after he had been killed by a pack of dogs. I was half asleep, but I was aware that I was half asleep and that I was dreaming. Teddy was lying on my pillow, and I could smell him and feel his softness and warmth.I still missed him terribly, but I was comforted by his ?visit?

But this one is funny:

A niece's mother (a widow) kept talking about all the noisy people upstairs in her house. She lived in a single house. After the mother died, my niece's 2 college sons moved into the house. One day, they told their mother ---"Mom, remember all those noisy people Grandma used to complain about? Well, they're back!"

LOL!

That reminded me of something. When I still lived at home I had this white 40's looking phone in my room. The phone had this very loud bell like ring, just like an old fashioned phone. About 3-5 days a week it would do this weird ring as if someone on an extention hung up the line, but it was always after everyone else had gone to bed and only on my phone. It wasn't a normal, full ring. It was shorter and had a bit of a different tone. My fiance worked nights and would sometimes call when he got home from work between 11:30 and midnight. So I would sit with the phone really close to me in case he called I could grab it quickly so the whole house (it was only my mom and dad and I in the house at that time) wouldn't wake up. When it would ring like that I would grab it and there would just be dial tone.

This one night my parents went to bed really early, about 8:30 pm. I was up watching TV and my phone started doing this ring. It did it once. It did it twice. It did it three times. It kept doing it. I was starting to get aggrevated so I picked up the phone and had it close to me and as soon as it started to ring I would pick it up. There would always be nothing but dial-tone. I would expect to hear a click if someone were calling me and repeatedly hanging up. I did *69 and it said the time of the last call was around 7 pm and it was my aunt's number. Finally, after this went on for at least half an hour I said out loud, "Look, I know you are trying to tell me something, but I don't know what it is. You are going to have to find a better way to tell me because I am starting to get pissed!" Then it stopped. The phone may have done the weird ring thing a couple of more times, but for the most part it stopped. We have the phone in our bedroom now and it has never done it.
