Her parents have since experienced hearing each other’s voices, and that of the brother.

12 August 2015 | Bizarre, Ghosts in the news

A paranormal expert in Britain has claimed that ghosts are trying to contact the living through mobile phones, with the number of mystery calls attributed to them rising by 43 percent in the last four years. Phil Hayes, a spectre investigator from Paranormal Research UK, believes a third of all haunting are now through mobile phones. “There is evidence to suggest that ghosts can use phones to communicate, with reports of people receiving phone calls from deceased relatives,” the Sun quoted Hayes as saying. According to him, the calls often feature heavy static and the voice sounds faint and distant, and nine in ten show as “withheld number” or “000000000000” on caller ID. Statistics show two thirds of all paranormal phenomena feature sounds, with just 20 percent being actual sightings

The living have pondered the dead for thousands of years. Is there life after death? Why do our spirits linger on Earth if there is a heaven? Do loved ones greet us at heaven’s gate when we finally get there? But one Icelandic psychologist, Erlendur Haraldsson, conducted research that suggests a large portion of ghost sightings are males who died a violent death. Paradelphia Radio hosts Rick Prewitt and Doug Hogate Jr. — founder and CEO of Jersey Unique Minds Paranormal Society — discussed the issue during Thursday’s live broadcast on toxicradio.net and suggested that perhaps the past, when men were the ones involved in dangerous situations, could attribute to the findings. “In history, men were out doing the dangerous jobs and women were home caring for the kids and the house,”

A Liverpool house has gone on sale with an incredible warning hidden in the small print – that it’s haunted by a 135-year-old poltergeist.
