Telephone calls from the dead is a rare form of spirit communication, although there have been many reports of this phenomenon.

In almost all cases the caller has a close emotional tie with the person they are contacting. They're usually a spouse, parent, child or good friend. The intentions of the telephone call will vary. Sometimes the calls will be on the date of a special anniversary, or to warn of some kind of impending danger. Other times the calls are messages for the living to carry out a task on behave of the deceased. The majority of these calls seem to be to express love and give a final goodbye.

The caller's voice sounds exactly the same as when they were alive. There may be static or other strange noises on the line. The telephone calls can last anywhere from only a few seconds to a couple of minutes and it usually ends with the voice fading away until there is nothing to be heard on the line but an eerie silence.

Critics point out that these cases are probably dreams or hallucinations. Others have concluded that this is one way that the human psyche deals with the lost of a close loved one. A way of working out the intense feelings felt from a tragic loss. To an extent the critics have valid theories, however, it should be noted that a percentage of these contacts had no idea that the person calling them was dead.

This type of spirit communication has also been reported in other electrical appliances such as radios, CB's, television sets and computer systems.
