Cell
Call from Beyond
by MONDO
I did not believe in the afterlife or communication with the afterlife until yesterday 3/28/06. My story begins with my father's death on 7/29/05. He had fallen down and hit his head on 7/27/05. His medical report lists him as passing from blunt trauma to the cranium. We pulled the plug on his vegetative state on the 29th; only my two sisters, my mom, my wife and my brother-in-law knew that we were pulling the plug.
On 7/30/05, my brother-in-law's little sister claimed my father contacted her to get me a message. He told her to tell me that I did the right thing by pulling the plug because he had already been dead and that he will be contacting me via dreams and electronics. He also said that he knew I didn't believe in the afterlife, so he was contacting her as a way to open my mind.
I completely blew it off as a 13-year-old girl who was having delusions. About five months passed and I didn't have one dream of my father. My first dream of my father happened on 12/28/05. That was the day my little sister was graduating from the police academy. I dreamed that my father was living in my house in my spare bedroom and we were getting dressed to go to the graduation. He has acting like his normal self and wanted to know what suit he should wear. I opened the closet and pulled out the tan suit I buried him, handed it to him and said, "Here, dad, wear this." Then I said, "Wait a minute, you're dead. This must be a dream."
At that moment in my dream, my house phone began to ring and ring and ring until finally my father said, "Are you going to pick that up? It's driving me crazy." I awoke in a panic and, sure enough, my home phone was ringing, and just as I picked it up, it was already dead air. I looked at the caller ID and it said unavailable. I brushed it off as a coincidence. It was a big day and subconsciously I was probably thinking about him and the phone rang and I remembered what the little girl had said and had a quick dream. That seemed logical to me because the dead can't contact you.
At lunch that day, I told my sisters the story and they both got very upset. It turns out they too received and unavailable call at exactly 5:58 a.m. on 12/28, but they didn't remember having any dreams. That's weird enough to start to think, well maybe there is something to this whole afterlife thing, but my skeptical self said, no way, it must have been somebody trying to call and none of us picked up, so they tried all of us.
I have not had any additional dreams of my father until yesterday 3/28/06. I was having a dream that I was following somebody through the woods, but I didn't know who I was following until I got to the place I was going, a club/bar in New York City. I was sitting high above the dance floor and my father was right next to me pointing to a girl who looked a lot like my wife being very flirty with some guy.
I woke up in a panic, like I just saw my wife cheating on me and looked at my alarm clock it said 5:15 a.m. I went right back to sleep and woke up at 6:00 a.m. to go to the gym, not even thinking about the dream until I went downstairs to get my wallet, keys and cell phone. That's when I saw something that is to coincidental to explain away.
My cell phone had a message? I pressed the button to listen to the message and it was an older man talking, but I couldn't understand what was being said. I listened for like a minute and than just erased it. The next screen made the hairs on my arm stand up. The missed call caller ID was my dad's cell phone number! I am still in possession of my dad's cell phone; it's in my attic.
This is all the proof I need that the afterlife can and will try to contact us. What are the odds of some guy getting my father's cell number and calling me by mistake on the day he told a little girl he had died (28th) at the same time I was having a dream about him? I'm thinking like one in infinity.
