Freaky Cordless Phone
by Anonymous

I live out in the country with my two children and husband. It is rare that my husband and I have a night completely alone. However, one Saturday night both of our children were visiting friends' houses. My husband and I were going to watch a movie so I went and checked the ringer on our phone. I wanted to make sure it was up loud enough for me to hear if one of the kids should call. It said it was on six and that was okay. So my husband and I settled in to watch our movie. At one point our dog started to growl and look out into our kitchen, but we just thought it was a noise that he had heard on the television that hurt his ears. No big deal. When we were going upstairs to bed, my husband asked me to get the phone. When I went to get the phone, the ringer was completely off - in fact, the whole machine was off.

I said to my husband, "How could that have happened?" When you turn off the machine on our phone it has a message that says, "The machine is off." I would have heard that when I went to check to see if the ringer was up high enough. The light was still on the machine as well and when the machine is off it is completely black. I would definitely noticed the phone light being off! We were both quite baffled about the whole thing. Then we began to wonder what our dog was really growling at. Sometimes when our dog is in our bedroom upstairs he will look out into the hallway and growl, but then he quits very quickly. Usually if he is mad he will go after whatever he sees. Anyway, it was very scary about our phone and we still can't explain it. Maybe our dog sees more than we give him credit for!! Scary!
