This subject reminds me of the book "Phone calls from the dead" by D. Scott Rogo...<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>The first contacts from beyond via telephone were described in detail in a book entitled "Voices from Beyond by Telephone" written by the Brazilian Carlos G. Ramos under the pen-name Oscar D'Argonell in 1925... these two books gained the attention of writers who were involved in ADC [After Death Communication] phenomena and were included... in the research field of ITC. [Instrumental Transcommunication]...<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Notable also is the element of spectacular coincidences related with the cases mentioned and can not be ignored.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> In order to approach an explanation about paranormal Telephony the writers examine three theories: <br>The spiritistic or survival theory,"to begin with, we of course felt that these alleged phone manipulations might indeed be masterminded by the dead during attempts to contact us", <br>-the EDB [extradimensional being] theory "however we could not dismiss the possibility that some other types of paraphysical or extradimensional being-perhaps invisible denizens which co-inhabit the Earth with us or exist in some parallel universe- might be playing a huge cosmic joke on us..such beings might be endowed with the ability to manipulate our phone system and mimic the voices of the dead"... <br>and finally the PK [psychokinetik]-from the living theory."Finally we also thought that the witnesses themselves might be unwittingly manufacturing these calls through their own innate mind-over-matter [or psychokinetic] abilities." <br><br>The calls themselves are collected into the following categories: 1."crisis" calls , received within 24 hours of the caller's death,2.postmortem calls, received within 7 days after death 3,4,5. calls within 30 days,from 2 to 6 months and after 6 months.<br><br>The authors also try to explain the "Mechanics of the Calls" [Chapter 6] which seems to be the most difficult of all. "To date unfortunately no phantom caller has ever explained to his bewildered listener just how he produced his call so all we can do is guess" Their remarks though are interesting indeed. <br><br>They examine two different theories , the electromagnetic theory- "If these calls are incoming signals, then the phantom telephone voices would have to be an electromagnetic phenomenon...our witnesses really heard only a pattern of electrical oscillations that imitated human speech."- <br>...and the paraphysical theory "if however these voices are somehow being produced over or within the specific instruments on which they are received , their nature might be different...they might be some sort of human speech or "independent voice"..speaking directly over the amplifier in the receiver..." </em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <br><br>-Cristos Sofoklidis <p></p><i></i>
