Man Believes His Dead Wife is Contacting Him Via Cell Phone
It was five years ago when Frank Jones' wife and son died unexpectedly. His son, Steven, died of a brain tumor at an early 32. Three months later, his wife, Sadie died from a heart attack at the age of 69.
Sadie was a cell phone addict. "She always had a mobile with her," Jones told the Blackpool Gazette. So, of course, they buried Sadie with her cell phone.
Now Jones believes Sadie is getting service six feet under, and she has been sending him text messages with words only Sadie would say. Of course, there is no return number on the messages or missed calls, leading Jones to believe the communications are form his deceased wife.
Creepy? Yes. But here's where things get creepier: The house Jones lives in has a history of hauntings from a being called "The Thornton Thing". The entity drove a family from the house in 1971, and after the Jones family suffered hauntings as well, they had the house exorcised.
It wasn't until the untimely deaths of his wife and son did Jones start experiencing messages from beyond. The obvious question we can't help asking: What kind of service does one get up there? She's clearly getting a lot of dropped calls.

It's so sad.....people are playing around with demonic things and will eventually get hurt...as in sickness, disease or death. Communication from the dead is not a Godly act and thus, very dangerous.

There is no way his dead wife is texting him from beyond the grave. He must truly be overcome with grief to believe these text messages are anything more than someone's idea of a sick joke. If he really believes his dead wife is texting him, then he should cancel his
service and deactivate the phone. Then, see if the text messages continue. After all if his wife is texting from Heaven or Hell, she
doesn't need an earthly service provider to do it. But an earthly person does.

how do U know?
While it seems unlikely (even ot me) I can promise U from
intense -personal experience- the beyond does indeed exsists
& 'certain Mediums' are in contact with those who lived on earth almost every single day we are living here!
Being spirits do work on an energy and often effect electronic
currents. It may be possible that this story is real.

Wow, I guess Britain's version of the telecommunications portability act is a little broader than ours.
P.S. Cool Blondie shirt, old dude.

I have no doubt that this could be true. I'm a 54 yr. old (sane) housewife, whose parents had a similar experience with a regular house phone back in the '70's. My father received a very static-laden phone call one evening from a man asking to talk to Doris (my mom). Even though my father was trying to speak to him, the person on the other line was oblivious to my father and kept asking to talk to Doris. My father knew who it was on the other end, and the guy was Mom's brother, who had passed away a couple of months prior. When my father couldn't get Mom to the phone on time, the phone just went dead. No dial tone...nothing.
My father was so totally astounded that he just sat down on the couch with his hand over his mouth pondering what had just occurred and why.
He's 83 now, and still sticks by his story. Strange things really DO happen in this world.

TomTrifik...Are you serious? I really cannot tell if you are being sarcarstic or real. If you are kidding..HAHA. If you are serious...seek help!!
guitgirl218 @ Apr 2nd 2008 2:25PM
Tomtrifik let me guess...you're a repub? And much like the former governor of NJ i'm sure you have a secret side...Suck some democratic Richard you D-Head...
Jeff @ Apr 2nd 2008 2:26PM
Wait till he gets the bill!
Hod @ Apr 2nd 2008 2:30PM
Yea.... Right !
jfhayk @ Apr 2nd 2008 2:36PM
BTW, is she buried in one of the 4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire, and did they actually have to count them all? [OK, I know it's Blackpool, but they're not that far from each other.]

Firstly, why do politics have to come into EVERY freakin' article's comment board? Sheesh, give it a rest already.
Secondly, I don't doubt for a second that this man could be receiving texts from his dead wife. I've grown up in a haunted house, and my brother's dead father is even heard on a cassette tape that was made in the house calling out to my mother, "Save me Johnnie," he said, and "Help me, please help me." The tape was made 6 months after he passed away, and it was a brand new tape. We were all skeptics until that tape was played back. This phenomenon is REAL and it's happening to thousands of people everyday all across the planet. Just because we've had this experience and you haven't doesn't make us crazy.

It should concern us that Oboma has put a link on Bills web site. There is also a lot of money flowing his way. no dought from people who expect something back. if we support. Hillory with our, one and two dollar amounts. we will know she is working for us and not special interest.
mike @ Apr 2nd 2008 2:46PM
Neat Terry. I believe in things like that. My 15 yr old cousin had died and about a month later her mom got cell calls from her number which had been disconnected for some time.
Cindy @ Apr 2nd 2008 2:46PM
I'm just wondering how Glenda Yeager knows that communication from the dead is not a Godly act and is very dangerous. I don't think anyone on earth can say what happens after death and why. I believe there are good spirits who only have good intentions. Good is a Godly act, not demonic.
Nancy @ Apr 2nd 2008 2:50PM
I believe him also. I feel sorry for all of you who are limited in your beliefs by fear, religion, science and lack of experiences in life. If religion can't explain it, it's GOT to be the DEVIL and DEMONS, if science can't PROVE it, it doesn't exist and if you haven't experienced it, it cannot be true. Where is the Internet? In the Bible? Can it pass a scientific examination? Yet, we use it everyday. We have expeienced it and know it's real, but where is it? How does it work? Why do you believe in the Internet? Are we not energy? Can energy be destroyed??? Put the fears aside and THINK!
Tricia in Sugar Land @ Apr 10th 2008 8:27PM
Well said/put Nancy!! I could not have said it better!! Whether Frank actually experienced this or not; what you say can be applied to life in general. We all need to THINK, and be open-minded; anything is possible in this world.
Cassini @ Apr 11th 2008 9:12AM
We are more than just energy. What I believe is based on the Word of God which is the Truth of God that has been around since before time began - His Word which serves as the foundation of all life; His Word which has been translated into more languages than any book ever written; His Word which has been persecuted more than any book ever written, yet continues to exist and thrive and has reached more of mankind throughout time than any other book ever penned; His Word which men have tried to prove wrong time and time again, but has always been proven correct. What are you basing your ideas on? When we die, we aren't free to roam the universe sending text messages to people. That's absurd.
When is the last time any one of us ever created a universe? If you want to know about life and what happens when you die, go to Jesus Christ. He created life - none of us did - and He is the source of it, so no one knows more than Him. And the only place you begin learning about it and what He knows, is in His Word - the Bible.
I don't like religion either - but be careful about religion and faith/relationship with God - the two are not always mutually the same. People throw around the word "religion", but that's not what true Christianity is about. Faith in and relationship with God does not close your mind to everything, but it also doesn't keep your mind so open that your brain rolls out of your skull and onto the floor like a bowling ball. You have to have some balance - you can't live your life thinking that anything and everything is true and possible, otherwise, you open yourself up to everything - including lies, foolishness, and many opportunities to be mislead. That's why God says, "Wide is the pathway to destruction and many enter it." He says this because there are many ways of thinking out there that are flat out wrong and they mislead many people into lies, destruction, and death. Faith in God helps you realize what is real and true. Not everything that we imagine is real. Your imagination does not determine reality. Just because something sounds good, doesn't make it true or possible. Your beliefs also don't alter reality or the realities that have already been placed into motion by God. That's why it's essential that we find and understand what the truth really is - and the only Truth is that of God. He created reality, He created time, He created life and it's different dimensions, He created all beings, us, and everything else, and only He knows what is true and what is not. If we don't go to Him, then we don't know what the truth is. Part of a person reaching that truth, is humbling themselves enough to know that their simple logic is foolishness to God, that all true wisdom belongs to God, and that without Him, we have none of it. That's why we have to turn to Him to understand life and what is true and real.
How do you know someone around this fellow who was familiar with his wife isn't spoofing him or playing a cruel gag? If these messages are coming from someone other than human, then it most certainly is demonic. When you die, you have no contact with those you leave behind anymore than we have contact with the dead. People who make you think you can contact the dead are fools and some take it as far as "channeling" which is no more than indulging in demonic activity - they may not even know it.
Be very careful about this sort of thing. These aren't frivolous matters. Humans alone are no match for the supernatural and you have no understanding of it, power over it, or protection from it, apart from Jesus Christ, who is God.

This must have been pulled from a gossip rag. Don't you get the Blondie reference? "Call Me"?
Steven @ Apr 2nd 2008 2:55PM
I know, if someone wants to discuss politics, do it on the news form. tomtrifik is obviously crazy, considering he knows her full name, thinks she is god and will let us talk to the dead, and is posting his message on an artical that has nothing to do with her!
Ok, so now that I've goten that out, on to the dude and his dead wife. I guess it could be possibale, since we don't really know what happens once you die, but it sounds like he's just missing her and wants to believe she is contacting him.
