We have a vintage house phone, one that is SO loud when it rings and tbh no one ever rings. At 4.30am it rings, I wake up and cba to go downstairs so let it ring hoping it will stop but it doesn’t. So I get up and the min I answer it’s dead the other side. I put it back and go to walk away and it rings again. An old lady in a posh voice says her name, her number (extremely fast talking and half dazed I didn’t get it) that she’s sorry for bothering me, goodbye and hangs up.
Has anyone had this before? Before I even had chance to say she had the wrong number she had put it down. It’s how she just was saying it so fast then put the number down.

Definitely not a dream, I checked
1471 the next morning and it said a withheld number had called me at about 3am. Confused

When I was a kid in the 70s, we had a call in the middle of the night that woke us all up. Dad answered, 'We have a call for you from Beirut.'
Dad says, 'What?'
The call comes through, they said, 'It is done.' And they hung up.
He was somewhat freaked out.

Omg!

I had a call from what sounded like a very elderly woman, insisting that this was her daughter’s landline number. She said her daughter’s name and it was mine. It was most definitely not my mum 👻
