I have a confession.
I watched another paranormal video creators video.
It showed long ago debunked clips and bits from 2011.
Now I feel like I cheated.
Think maybe you can find it in your heart to forgive me??😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I had a scary phonecall when I was 15, in the mid 80's. We'd not long had a phone so not many people had our number.
Mum, dad and my sister had gone out and I'd stayed home to revise.
The landline rang, the phone was by our front door which had frosted glass in it.
I picked up the phone and a bloke asked 'Is that Dawn?'
I asked who it was, and he said 'You don't know me, but I know you'.
I asked again who he was.
He then said, 'Can you see me? I can see you, standing by the door'.
I was really scared and just ran out, locked the door and went to a neighbours until mum and dad got back.
Still gives me the creeps all these years later.
If you ever get the chance to se the movie "I Saw What You Did" 1965. Two girls make prank phone calls and call some one who actually did something bad.
"we've traced the calls, they're coming from inside the house!"
“Have you checked the children ?”
Telephone harassment used to be a valid past time that kept generations of children entertained. I remember me and my brother calling our old home to harass the new owners. Good clean fun.
👍🖤
When i was a kid the only weird calls we got was some guy breathing then hang up. My Mom would blow a whizal! Sorry can't spell it! He keeped it up for a month or 2 then finely stoped.
I remember as a kid calling ppl and telling them I’m from their electric company and ask them if their refrigerator is running.
Then when they come back and tell me yes, I’d yell “THEN YOU’D BETTER GO AND CATCH IT!”😭😭😭😭
I totally love your show, though it would so very nice to have pictures for us to see these people and places you're talking about
