Possessed Cell Phone!!!!

36 Replies

As you can see, my iPhone was far above my head and not in easy reach from my hand or any part of my body.

Okay… it has happened. Technology has taken over the world, at least at my house.  Two nights in a row, I have been awakened by my cell phone pinging and reached for it––over my head and behind me on the top of my table/headboard–– to find it has called a friend.  In each case, I was given an option to press 2 to disconnect and 3 to talk. I pressed 2, but a few minutest later, at 1:30 in the morning, the friend called me thinking I had an emergency as the phone woke them up twice and when they answered no one answered but they saw I had been the one to call. Then another friend was called at 5 a.m. the next day.

I did not have earbuds in…which some have said is how this can happen, although I don’t know how.  Neither of the friends my phone called were emergency contacts, although I had called them both within the past 24 hours.

The phone was far out of my reach and does not have sound activation other than for Siri.  What are your thoughts on the matter?

A Curious Happening

This is a reprint of something that happened eight years ago, and I swear it is true.  I came in, tossed some change down on the desk and opened my computer.  After working for a few minutes, I looked down and this is what I saw.  Luckily my camera was handy just a few steps away.  What are the chances that the coin would balance itself on edge like this???? Curious, I tried at least a dozen times to balance a coint on its edge and couldn’t balance it.  Finally, I decided my friendly desk poltergeists must have had a hand in it.

Then, the next day, I’d  been at my desk for about an hour, off and on, running to the kitchen, doing little things around the house, and when I finally sat down to type, I happened to glance at my desk and this is what I saw:

There had been no one else in the house.  I don’t know what happened to the larger ten peso piece from the day before, but I do know I was clicking the flashlight off and on last night.  I did not, however, place this smaller coin next to it or upright!.

To test out a theory, I just now lifted up the flashlight and knocked the coin over, then put the flashlight next to it, thinking perhaps one or the other had been magnetized, but the coin stayed in place flat on the desk and did not rise to the occasion. Then I tried placing the coin on edge several times, to no avail.When I sat the coin on edge propped up against the flashlight and moved the flashlight, however, the coin stayed on its edge. When I tried tossing it on the desk or dropping it, never once has it landed on its edge.  Very very strange. I know it is just a coincidence, but I’m curious about how I could have moved the coins without being aware of it and it is a huge coincidence that the small coin should wind up on edge twice in a row when in 68 years of life, I’ve never had this happen before.
