From the article: Strange Aussie Phone Message
Damian T. sent in this strange phone message he received. Although we don't think it's paranormal, it certainly is odd and creepy. Can you understand any of what is being said? Give us your opinion. Tell us what you hear
What I hear
- It's a crossed line, I think, and you can't really make out anything she is saying.

difficult
- This sounds to me not like EVP, which consists mostly of few words only. I can't make anything of it. The last word is 'stop', that's all I get.
- —Guest Loes
weird
- The distorted voice sounds echoey like they are on speaker phone and a distance from the phone, the breaking up is normal for mobiles not in good coverage, the eirry part is the high whistling sound, never heard that before, sounds like something from an alien movie.

Pocket dial
- Sounds like a pocket dial. I hear it a lot because my mum does the same thing, phone in pocket or handbag accidentally dials you... sounds a LOT like that to me.

Points
- Points as to why this is strange: 1 -- If it were a crossed line, there would be two voices, and if not the voice would halt when the other person is talking. It doesn't. 2 -- If it were a crossed line, the speech would have continued after my answering machine cut out. But again it doesn't. The person seems to be aware that it is an answering machine. 3 -- The phone number is not public and is a brand new number, so the person would have to know the number. 4 -- The interference seems to be similar to other evp, except it is much clearer and louder.

Aussie phone message
- This is digital garble. Someone was trying to call from a cell and the digital signal was being interrupted.
- —Guest Kent
Ausie phone message
- It's electronic interference, quite common with answering machines.

Rough Guesstimate
- I'd agree this is a bad cell connection. "Hello, this is [lell? ell?] ... [garbled] ... [mailbox?]... [garbled]" Of course, that could just be false pattern recognition, but I'm sure an audio boffin could do a better job. But from the general context, sounds like a normal, albeit badly connected and possibly misdirected call. Nothing creepy about it whatsoever.

Key
- Near the start it sounded like a female voice saying, "I hold the great key."
- —Guest overstand
Many voices
- I know this is not what you're looking for, but almost exactly the same experience happened to me. A number of years ago I picked up my phone to make a call, and instead of a dial tone I got a massive amount of voices all speaking/yelling at the same time. It wasn't possible to discern what any one voice was saying, but they all sounded alarmed and pleading. It lasted less than 30 seconds and was haunting. Just so many voices, then nothing.

- A very bad cell phone connection. I've heard it many times before where it sounds like the person is calling from under water.
