Strange Phone Calls
by Vicki H.

About three nights ago, my husband got a phone call at 1:57 a.m. I remember it was a very stormy night. He answered and the phone was giving him little bleeps, but nobody would say anything. Then the phone went dead. I was asleep by the phone, but I never heard it ring, and I always hear the phone ring. Only he heard it. He called the number back on the caller ID, and it said "this number is not in service." The number is still on our caller ID. 

At 4:00 a.m., his mother, who lives about an hour away, also got a phone call. Her son, who was asleep in the house, also never heard the phone ring. The same number, the same bleeps. She called it back and it was also a not-in-service number. About 5:00 a.m., his mother was lying in her bed and she saw a man standing at the foot of her bed looking at her. She said he was tall and thin, had dark eyes and dark clothes. He stared at her for a minute and then darted across the room and disappeared. 

We are very freaked out about this and cannot figure out why this happened all in the same night, and nothing like this has happened before. Why did I not hear the phone ring and my husband did the phone is right by our bed? My husband lost his brother about six months ago tragic death.
