I've just gotten a new cell phone (my service lets me get a new one free, up to a certain price, every two years). Ironically, my old cell phone died in a tragic accident (I dropped it, it broke) on the same day that my new one arrived. So, I've got my new phone, it's active and at the same number as the old one... but I have none of the contact info for people that was saved on the old phone now.

Anyone who wants me to have their phone number, please reply to this post with it. I'm going to set all comments to be screened so that only I can see them.

I've potentially got a supernatural situation going on with my grandfather that's a little outside of my experience. From what I've heard, he's claiming to see (physically) my grandmother, who has been passed away for years, around the house. He knows he's not just remembering her, because she's wearing outfits that she never had when she was alive. It should be noted that my grandfather's physical eyesight is failing, so that he can see this at all implies origins outside of ordinary vision. Then here's the part that I'm not sure what to make of: every time he sees her around his house, he gets a phone call later by what he describes as a soft, quiet man's voice who asks "Is Barbara there?" (Barbara was my grandmother's first name) and then hangs up before my grandfather can answer, EVERY TIME. He does not recognize the voice of the man.

Any thoughts? The phone calls aspect of this puts it totally outside of my own experience with the departed. And I have not been able to get up to visit him for several years now, and am unlikely to be able to in the near future, so I can't scope it out myself in person. I've done what I can remotely, but I didn't find anything really out of the ordinary for how I remember that house. No idea what would be causing these manifestations now, or even what to look for given the very physical nature of the phone calls.
