Phone Calls from the Dead<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Chatsworth crash took place in California\u2019s San Fernando Valley on September 12, 2008 when a commuter train collided with a freight train.\u00a0 This unfortunate even claimed the lives of 25 people, one of which was a 49 year old man named Charles E Peck who was headed to a job interview.<\/p>\n

Peck\u2019s fianc\u00e9 and other family members were on their way to pick him up when they heard about the crash on the radio.\u00a0 His family kept hope that he had survived the crash due to several calls from his cell phone.\u00a0 Peck\u2019s fianc\u00e9, brother, sister, son and stepmother all received a total of 35 calls over 11 hours but whenever they would answer there would be nothing but static on the other end.\u00a0 When the family tried returning the calls they would go straight to voicemail.<\/p>\n

The numerous calls prompted the search team to trace the signal and search the remains of the first train.\u00a0 One hour after the last call was received from Peck\u2019s cell phone his deceased body was discovered and it was confirmed that he had died upon impact, his cell phone was never found.<\/p>\n

Was it possible that Charles Peck had attempted to reach his loved ones after his passing?\u00a0 This phenomenon occurs quite often.\u00a0 Many people claim to receive calls from deceased loved ones. Usually these calls occur a few hours after the person has passed up to several years later.\u00a0 The people who receive these calls are not necessarily believers in the paranormal nor are they looking for a supernatural experience.<\/p>\n

The common similarities reported with these calls are that the voices though recognizable seem very distant and are often diluted by static.\u00a0 The caller ID will normally show as \u201cprivate\u201d or all zeros.\u00a0 Those that receive the calls may only hear a brief message or at times have a short conversation and may not hear a dial tone when the call is disconnected. There have even been reports of text messages received from the deceased. Some believe these calls are an example of EVP or electronic voice phenomenon.<\/p>\n

The purpose of these calls also varies.\u00a0 Some report hearing a reassuring message letting them know everything will be ok and that they are loved.\u00a0 There have also been reports of these calls being received on a birthday or anniversary.\u00a0 In some even stranger cases are reports of calls being received with a warning from the deceased, such as an unknown illness in the family that should be checked or a suggested change in travel plans, maybe to avoid a potential fatal accident?<\/p>\n

How and why does this happen?\u00a0 There are many theories.\u00a0 One theory among the paranormal community is the knowledge that spirits can manipulate and pull energy.\u00a0 If a spirit can use this energy to manifest or move objects why not phone lines?\u00a0\u00a0 Skeptics believe that the calls are hallucinations of grieving family members.<\/p>\n

Everyone has at least once asked themselves what happens after we pass from this life.\u00a0 Whatever your beliefs are we all just want the comfort of being told everything will be alright.\u00a0 So maybe just maybe our loved ones, through pure energy and emotion, will find a way to deliver that and other important messages when they are most needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
