Hi all,
It's been quite a while since I've posted anything here and I wasn't sure where to put this, it's not quite an IHTM.
It happened to my parents and I wondered if anybody else had ever experienced anything like it.
I was speaking to my Father recently and he mentioned that sometimes their phone line is disturbed by odd clicking sounds almost like the sound of a reciever being picked up. I thought nothing of it and told my Dad to speak to BT as it's probably a cabling or phone exchange type issue.
A little while after this he said something quite odd had happened, he'd just finished a conversation, the other person had hungup and he was about to do the same when he heard a loud click on the line, after which the line sounded quite 'hollow' for lack of a better word, as if there was somebody there. My Dad thought that was odd and listened, upon which he heard a voice, which he said sounded almost mechanical or recorded.
The voice proceeded to list each day of the week in reverse order starting with Friday, it then counted backwards from 7 down to 0 after which it was silent and then disconnected.
A few days later it happened again, in exactly the same way.
I'm a bit baffled to to be honest as to what it could possibly be, some kind of bizzare line test? Line fault somewhere? Inter dimensional crossed line? Bored Men In Black?
Any ideas?
