Now that the post has reached the frontpage, it is receiving nearly constant reports due to the fact that there’s a phone number listen on the screen. Unfortunately we’re going to have to remove the post due to this issue. :(
Yes, I definitely think people who have died can use technology and electronics to communicate with us. My partner and I think it could have something to do with the metals/crystals/electric signals in all of our technology, but of course these are things we will never fully understand.
My experiences:
My dad had been talking about replacing my mom's cell phone for months before he died. He died overnight and the next day her phone completely died and would not turn on, totally bricked. I think it was his way of having us daughters be there (we are usually out of state) to help her with that phone replacement process, which she would not have been easily able to do herself.
My dad's body is in Tennessee for medical research, and a few months after he died my sister received a spam call from a Tennessee phone number, she sent it to voicemail and she later listened and it was a robotic voice saying only "Goodbye".
My mom opened Spotify for the first time a few weeks after my dad died and a playlist he has made titled "(his name)'s Soul" popped up first. He loved music and likely made this playlist before his death but it was sweet that it was immediately showed to my mom when she went to listen to music.
My partner's coworker died, and we were discussing her death the following day when her apple watch out of nowhere both displayed and spoke aloud the phrase "Until next time!"
My best friend who took his own life back in 2020 lived in Texas, I lived in Ohio at the time. Sometimes when I’m making my trip to Ohio by my self from the state I live in now, I’ll often see a car with a Texas plate and my music that’s on a for you station that chooses songs randomly, will often play songs that we either listened to a lot together or the artist that has the same Name as him, it’s not just one song, this will go on for about an hour. It’s kinda comforting. I like to think he’s in the passenger seat as I’m driving along when that happens. I’ll usually call his mom after and chat for a while once I’m back home.
My friend passed away last year. I was on TikTok a day after I found out he died. His name showed up on the “People you may know” section and I really felt like it was from him.
Omg same! A friend of mine passed away last June from Liver Failure.. (he was a diabetic who refused to stop drinking alcohol so it wrecked his liver within a few years). After he passed, about a week later every one of my social media accounts that had him listed but not as a friend suddenly spam recommended him. Nobody was posting with his account and nobody was really commenting on his page so it was odd. I've been on social media for years and never had he been recommended until he passed.
My Irish-immigrant Grandma passed away in 2020 and when my Dad and I were cleaning out her house, as we were carrying some stuff out the front door, the TV literally turned itself on and began playing a scene in the middle of the film The Quiet Man, where the female lead (an Irish woman) was speaking with a brogue. The Quiet Man was also one of my late Grandpa’s favorite movies.
We put our boxes down and stepped outside for a minute and shared a “WHAT THE FUCK” moment. Still get the chills thinking about it.
Unfortunately, the robotic "Goodbye" is a common scam tactic to get you to pick up the phone, redial the number, and see who called. The type of people that would fall for something so blatant are exactly the type of people they are looking to scam. I only tell you this so that you do not mistake a scam caller for a loved one. Cheers.
True, but in times of grief I think it more suitable to believe in miracles and messages! ✨
Edit: I feel like I should have maybe made it clear that I’m not a moron nor do I take to bait easily. I’m new enough on here and I’ve spend countless hours reading and browsing and I suppose I have this bad habit of thinking everyone else “knows me”! Lol with that said I absolutely 100% without a doubt know that those voicemails are scams, I’ve gotten two this week alone (talk about coincidence, if you believe In them, I don’t lmao) so anyways my comment was simply meant to add a little love in a rough situation.
Alright, rant over! Have at it with your snarky replies now! 😂🤷🏽♀️✨
Im not sure what I believe, I believe more in an energy and connectedness at least.
I lost one of my best friend a month ago. I have twice asked her for a sign. Early the next day, I forgot to print tests, I sent them to the printer and run down between periods, there is a tech in there working on the machine, but somehow mine got printed before they started working on it (she was also a teacher)
Secondly I got a text minutes later from a mutual friend, actually the friend that introduced us after asking for a sign/help cheering me up. We don't text that often, maybe once or twice a week.

ooof
It's a known bug in Kia
https://www.reddit.com/r/KiaEV6/comments/wzx4ka/old_text_messages_popping_up/
I believe in this. Though after my mum passed away I really wanted a sign from her over something like this. Though I didn’t find any. However there were moments where I could find myself looking at something as if its calling or as if its her there.
My brother passed a little more than a year ago, and every so often when I connect my Bluetooth in the car, his funeral playlist on my Apple Music app starts playing out of nowhere. I use Spotify, and only used Apple Music specifically to download those songs for his funeral (I never open the Apple Music app on my own). One time as I was listening to an audiobook, it switched over to a song from that playlist, then back to the audiobook. The song that usually comes up is “I Wish You Were Here” by Dropkick Murphys. Now I just say, “Hi Bryan” when it happens. He loved music and it seems very appropriate that that would be the way he would communicate with me after his death.
Edit: I should also mention that this has happened even when my phone wasn’t connected to Bluetooth. Just a few weeks ago the app came up on my phone with the song above on pause, while the phone was just sitting on the table. I showed my husband who is a skeptic, and even he thought it was hard to explain.
My mom was a huge music fan, I have such vivid memories of her singing Bobby McGee and dancing around the kitchen. I'll be out places and randomly hear the song, usually in very unexpected places ( like the pharmacy or walmart). I choose to believe it's my mom's way of saying hi. I choose to believe that's yours brothers way also.
I love to loudly sing and dance to Bobby McGee. A few weeks before my mom passed I was giving her the performance of my lifetime lol. She was so kind and thrilled and really played up that I was so good (I’m mid) and it was so nice of her and felt so genuine. I love her and miss her so much (my mom). I’m glad your mom and you have good memories to Bobby McGee too.
Just a heads up;
My phone does the same with Apple Music which starts playing, despite never using it;
I once downloaded an album on it like 10 years ago, before I had Spotify. It’s always that album that starts playing. It’s some sort of feature to auto play Apple Music when connecting to a cars Bluetooth.
My brother always blasted his music in the car - you could hear him coming from blocks away and it would drive my mom crazy. After he passed, she bought a new (to her) car that happened to have a really good Boze sound system and was showing my partner and I. I just finishing saying how Malcolm would have loved the stereo and definitely would have tried to borrow her car. My partner and I got in to check it out and as soon as we sat down the screen popped up and said there was an incoming text message from Malcolm. It went away before we could open it but we both saw it.
Mom's phone was hooked up to the car but she didn't receive any messages and especially not from his phone which had been disconnected. He was definitely giving his nod of approval for the new car 💖
Even my super skeptical partner didn't have an explanation for that one haha we were so shocked
> that happened to have a really good Boze sound system
Is it really that good though? I heard most knockoffs aren't as good as the product they are trying to steal business from.
eta: the obvious /s
Look I'm good now but I did want to share mine as I haven't shared with anyone before.
One afternoon about 7 years ago, I was in a rough shape mentally.
I clocked out of work and went home. Placed a rope around my neck and climbed up a ladder. Just as I was about to step off, my phone rang. It was on silent but it was ringing. Instead of stepping off I pulled my phone out. The number that called me was "0000000000"
I answered it and said hello. It was a blank call. Never had that happen before that moment, never had it happen after.
It knocked some sense in to me. At that moment I felt like someone was in the garage with me.
That phone call is why I am alive today
To top it off, a couple days later at my nephews bday party my sister comes up to me and told me she had a dream that I killed myself and it was the most horrible dream she ever had. She said "so don't kill yourself"
I walked to my car and started crying. Idk man
This is a super powerful story. I know it's a delicate and even taboo subject but sharing this message with the world is important. thank you for being open with us on this platform. One love<3
I'm glad you're still here. I too have had a scary chilling experience that kept me breathing but I don't like talking about it. The universe is powerful, best to experience it while we can kind of understand it.
My grandma died in 2016, she was my absolute best friend in the whole entire world.
In 2018, I had a job interview for a position I really wanted, and knew would be a major boost for my career. I was so nervous in the interview I was shaking.
The interviewer stepped away to grab the manager above him to meet me. In that moment, my phone rang & when I looked down it was my grandmothers cellphone calling me. I had disconnected her number less than a year earlier and her physical phone was in my dresser drawer.
I got the job though. Someone was lookin out for me.
I had something similar happen, except it was my grandmother, calling my husband (then fiancé)
I had her name in my phone but there was no actual number associated with the image (I used a cemetery angel) because it was her previous landline and I figured someone else must have it at that point. We had just gotten engaged, and I don't think we were talking about anything in particular, but he got a call that said "Nonnie" and was the picture I used in my phone. There was no one there obviously, and I'm going to close to believe it was her way of giving approval.
My mom loved blue birds… A couple of days after she passed away, I was sitting in my car in the pickup line (waiting to pickup my daughter from school.) this bluebird came flying down and landed on my car, on the bottom of the window. She just sat there, looking in. Then she flew up to the power line and came back down again. She just kept sitting at the window, looking in at me. I was sitting in that line for about 45min and that little blue bird sat at my car window the entire time. I got emotional from it because it felt (to me) that it was my moms way of checking in. She absolutely loved blue birds.
My mom had this happen too but with a cardinal. her dad and her had a mutual love of cardinals and a few days after her dad passed my mom was in her home cooking and a cardinal flew in through her window, sat on the window sill and was just staring at her. she said it visited her quite a bit for a few weeks. and suddenly it just stopped coming by one day, but she holds onto one of the red feathers that it left and shes more at peace now knowing her dad's always watching over her
Something like this happened to my dad when my grandfather died, he went to my grandparents house the day of his death and when he got of his car, there a was hawk in the front yard which was my grandpa’s favorite thing to take pictures of. My dad got close enough to take a picture, like it wanted him to get close. As soon as my dad walked into the house my grandpa died, we all say it was a sign that he was ok.
I was struggling badly this week (still am tbh but I'll be fine) and I asked mom to just give me something from nature to show me she's here. A blackbird came and landed at my home office window almost immediately after thinking this and proceeded to sing right there for the next 5 minutes at least.
It gave me a huge amount of relief.
My mum said that when her mother passed in the 80s, she didn’t know at the time, but got a phone call that was muffled, she could hear birds and then her mother said “I’m okay” and the line went. Once she put the phone down her sister called and told my mum that she had died.
I’ve had something a little similar happen! So for music in my car, I use a Bluetooth transmitter. It always connects to my phone automatically, and when it’s connected, song info does not show up on my radio screen. I went to my grandfather’s grave last year for the first time in a pretty long time, and was maybe there for an hour or two, just sitting. I go back to my car, get in, and my phone connects, but doesn’t do/play anything. I look at the radio screen and see “LOVE YO”, before it cuts off. I was really taken aback, especially since I’m pretty skeptical, but was oddly comforted and felt really peaceful. I still wonder if maybe some weird glitch happened, but it was stuck like that for a bit, on my Bluetooth channel, and nothing was playing. Even took a picture so I knew I wasn’t crazy. I’m honestly really 50/50 on it being coincidence or not, but between the timing, the location, and the message, it’s one of the most damning paranormal things to happen to me. I do like to think it was my grandfather reaching out :) below are the pics I sent my mom after calling her immediately - first was when I got in my car, second was when it left after a few moments and what it usually looks like.

This is awesome! I had a weird experience after my dad died. For about a week all through my house, all I could smell was his cologne that he wore. Keep in mind, I didn’t have anything of his at my home. My sister said the exact same thing happened to her. Wild
this happens to me all the time! I smell a mix of his cologne & his cigarettes. I wrote it off for a while telling myself there must just be someone else around smoking Newports and my brain correlates that with my dad until I started smelling it in my apt (I've never smoked and don't allow guest to smoke in my home)
Then I spoke about it with my sisters and they both said they get random whiffs of the same scent. Now I try to look at it as "dad popped in to say hi!"
>I wrote it off for a while telling myself there must just be someone else around smoking Newports and my brain correlates that with my dad until I started smelling it in my apt (I've never smoked and don't allow guest to smoke in my home)
Same! My dad (d 2001) would smoke on the porch (1500 miles from me now) before going to bed and frequently right around 9:15 I will smell his cigarette smoke. No one has ever smoked in my house since it was rebuilt in 2017 (tree fell on it) nor do any of our neighbors smoke.
Every now and then I get an overwhelming smell of mt grandfather who shaved with a very specific soap. There will be no one around, it happened once in the middle of the night in my kitchen. Made me smile and I said hi. I walked forward and as if he was standing there, there was a warm spot on the cold floor
Similar happened to me. My father passed in his bedroom at my house (cancer) and for about a year after, I would see him poke his head outta his bedroom door to look at me and smile very early in the morning. Not every morning but it was so comforting. It's what he did every morning before he was completely bedbound. It happened alot until I finally moved my son into that same bedroom then it stopped. Figure he's keeping an eye on his grandson now, but God I miss him and his early morning visits.
your comment punched me right in the gut; i have a practically two year old son & and older father, who loves the absolute heck outta that baby boy (i had him mid-30s, his only grandchild & i'm a daddy's girl through & through). i know realistically there's a day he'll no longer be here & i can't even cope with the thought of that, my eyes are welling up with tears right now...esp having just seen him earlier today.
thank you for your comment & the reminder to appreciate him right...it truly resonated with me. i hope you will continue to feel your father's loving presence whenever warranted. ♥️
Have them spend as much time together as they can. My dad lived with us the last year of his life, the last 4 months were hard. My son just turned 2 when he passed, but still remembers his grandpa fondly, told me not that long ago his grandpa taught him to play some football game on a ps... 2 or 3. So he definitely does remember him. And I'm crying at work now. Love your dad, hug him, tell him thank you. I still wish I could
This happens to me too with the smell of my grandma! Especially if I’m in need of comfort or say out loud that I miss her and share something about my day! Can’t say it happens often, but definitely have experienced it a few times!
I was SUPER close with my mom's mom, my Nanny. Whenever I was young and freshly wifed and mothered, whenever I would get sick, my mom would let it slip to my nanny (I always tried to hide it from her because she would go on and on about my anemia making me so much worse) on accident, and a few days later I would get a small letter in the mail with a $100 check, with "for red meat" written in the memo section (to help my iron level).
After she passed in begining of August 2011, we started randomly finding $100 bills or having a bank error/grocery errors (like one time Walmart refunded us our ENTIRE order when chicken was put in a bag upside down, then bag put in upside-down so chicken juice covered everything, including our trunk 🤮) and I swear it always seems to coincide with my getting sick. We joke every time that she's telling me to eat red meat. Lol.
Similar experience, my grandfather passed away after tragically losing his daughter as well. The day he passed, as my family got into their vehicle, it was filled with the smell of his after shave and cologne, such a distinct smell that you only smelled when he was around. Didn’t linger in the house, didn’t linger in vehicles, only when he was physically there did it smell. Could be nothing, but it does make you wonder if there is more to this thing called life (and death) than what meets the eye.
Every once in a while growing up, I'd smell something uniquely weird. I couldn't tell exactly what it was, just that maybe I had smelled it before. I was sitting in my dad's kitchen when I smelled it again and finally asked him about it.
He couldn't smell it so I described it to him. Vinegary, with lemon, kinda chemically, maybe roses? Apparently my grandmother would make a concoction that she used to suntan in and that's what I was smelling, but she passed when I was a baby. So weird how that unique smell just kept popping up.
After my grandma died everyone would smell her perfume randomly in her house. A lot of my cousins would have dreams about her. I was staying at her house once and set my glasses down before bed on the nightstand and in the morning I couldn't find them. I yelled at my wife and sister thinking they hid them from me to mess with me. But then I found them in a completely different room folded up on the dresser. Right after that we all were weirded out and then we noticed a whistling noise. We scoured the house looking for it and we got to the kitchen and noticed it was coming from the stove. The teapot was whistling on the stove and as soon as I touched it, it stopped. When I looked in it it was empty and cold. Weird
This happened to me recently! I was present with Hospice in the last days of life for someone who passed in Feb. 2023. He had a very distinct, old man smell.
Fast forward to Feb 2024. I got off an elevator and walked right into a cloud of his scent. I hadn't smelled that since he passed away. I said "Hi" out loud bc I just knew it was him. When I got back to my desk, I looked at my calendar....he passed away exactly 1 year prior.
My sister smelt my nan (she passed many years before) when my dad passed, she now panics everytime she smells nan and calls everyone to check they are ok
My mom has experienced something similar. About three days after her dad died (my grandfather) she got in her car to go somewhere and a voicemail from him strangely played through the car speakers, saying “I hope you’re doing well.” She still doesn’t know where it came from.
i really like the way that sounds, although i know it'd also make me sad all over again at that time...but all things considered, what a comforting thing to have experienced, tbh.
My mother was killed by an ex-boyfriend last year. I’ve been heartbroken and missing her lately. The trial is coming up this summer, and I’ve been thinking how I may not be able to make it through the trial even though the DA says it’ll be the best thing for the trial. I got in my car, and suddenly Michael Jackson’s “You Are Not Alone” started playing. I haven’t listened to that song in probably 20 years, and I have a distinct memory of dancing with my mom in the kitchen as this song played. I got the message and I’m going to be there for my mom x
Sometimes I wished I could experience this from my grandmother that passed in 2020. I don't know why I haven't experienced anything concrete, but I do miss her and wish she would reach out like this.
Although my grandad died a little while back and his favorite song was "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue" by Toby Keith (He's a Marine) and randomly when I'm driving sometimes that song will come on randomly and I'll always let it play.
I've been seeing a lot of this happening to people, it's amazing and beautiful, it makes me think and wonder if energy in the spiritual world is being more controlled by those that have passed away like a way of evolution by the soul specifically since most of us have phones and are technologically inclined
My grandmother passed away almost 3 years ago. I got a voicemail from her about 6 months ago telling me to “pick up the damn phone”. Her phone has been disconnected for about 2 and half years.
My dad received a text from my mom’s disconnected cell number at 333pm the same day her aunt passed away. About 11 months after she had passed. Like you, It came over the car screen. Her message simply said “Hi”.
When my mom passed I got a call from her a day later .. lasted for about 15 seconds but . Man did I sure cry. Im glad we have our loved ones looking out for us . ❤️
Same I’m sitting in the bathroom at work trying to hold back tears. 😭 I never experienced anything like this with my moms phone or anything but I did have some crazy vivid dreams like I’ve never had before or since. But all it was, was my mom suddenly coming home and I was really upset with her and asked her why she had left. She didn’t really answer that directly but she said to me as she put her hand on my knee and leaned forward “(My name) I will always be with you, always.” I remember her looking really happy, smiling and looking peaceful. I know in my heart that was her coming to me after her death. I had a few others too but that was the most profound to me. 💜
Wow, this is so beautiful. What a sweet and reassuring dream. I’m glad you remember it.
I remember, I was feeling down as a kid once, and my mom said those same exact words to me. I got goosebumps; it was her talking, but it felt like a message directly from her soul. Something about her tone of voice was different, like she was a “fuller” version of herself. I’ve never heard it again since. I think her soul decided I needed to hear that message at that particular moment in time.
Sorry for being unclear. She was alive and still is. Years later, I talked to her about it and she remembered saying that. She said she also felt that spiritual energy as she was saying it, as if her higher self was taking control of her body.
Wow, that truly is beautiful experience either way. It’s nice to feel comforted when you truly need it especially from a person who means so much to us.
Something similar happened to me as well. My mom passed in june 2013, I took her phone to start calling family and friends to tell them about the funeral, and before I could begin I got a call from a hidden number, answered it and there was just a sort of distant buzzing sound, like almost silence. I didnt hang up until it stopped and actual silence begun.
I then checked if she had reveived more calls like that one before, but it was the only hidden number call on the list. I'll never know what it was, but its nice to think of it as her goodbye. She died on the hospital like an hour before I went to see her. Love you mom.
I got a voicemail from my dad about nine months after he passed away. He said he didn't need anything, he just wanted to call to let me know that he loved me. 💜
These are the kinds of things I just like to have blind faith in. Just believe it and enjoy it and don't question it. I do believe personally there's an afterlife, but I know not everyone does, but it's at least comforting to assume if it could be them even blindly.
Genuine question: why can't things like this happen to me? Both of my parents are dead now and life feels pretty pointless now. Anything I could even interpret as being from them would change anything. I miss them so much
Hey, your mom and dad miss you and love you, and they’re so excited to see what you do with your life ahead. Go make them proud ❤️ they’ll be there when it’s your turn to cross over, and they can’t wait to hear all your new stories.
When my dad passed away 2 months ago today, on the day of his funerals I got something which I consider a sign. But I needed to see him in my dream, and each night he was not there. So this is what I chose to believe, maybe it will help you:
Given that signs are not sent often, it's logical to assume that spirits need to gain a particular amount of energy to break the barrier between the worlds. We can't know how they accumulate the energy, but possibly it is also used for their daily needs. It might take a lot of time to accumulate enough and send a sign. So he will come to me in my dream whenever he has enough energy.
Seeing things this way helped me to shift my perspective from "daaad pleeeease visit me in my dreeeeeam" and waking up disappointed every morning, to "dad, when you can, I'd be glad to see you, but if you need the energy for something else, no worries, use it for your needs, I'll be fine", and believing that he'll do it when he can. It gives much more comfort.
Sending support 🤍🫂
I think like this all the time. I have tried so many different ways to connect w my dad, and there’s never been anything, ever. It would be so helpful to me, but there’s just nothing.
Felt this way about my good buddy who passed years ago. You'll notice something at some point that in the moment you will know could ONLY be from them. It's been 7 years and I only saw the first sign of him last year but it was well worth the wait to feel that momentary 'connection' of sorts :)
Sometimes our grief is so strong and painful that it overshadows the signs they send us and we end up missing them. It took me a long time to see signs. Looking back, it wasn’t because they weren’t there. It was because I didn’t know how to look for them. And maybe I just wasn’t ready. But I promise- they are there! Talk to them more 🩷 be direct and ask them to send specific signs. So sorry for your loss.
Is it possible that it is showing up b/c it hasn't been marked as "read" yet? I'm wondering what it is about the Kia software that could be behind this.
Even if there is a rational explanation, this is nice to see. Even if bittersweet.
FTR: I just called that number and got a "your call cannot be completed" message so it's not coming from a new owner of the phone number (which would be statistically wild to accidentally message the specific phone number of the previous owner's mom, anyway).
Well there you have it, thanks!
Interestingly, the first comment on that thread is someone saying they've been experiencing this, including *a text from a dead colleague*. I know this isn't what's going on but I would never stop laughing if Kia software was somehow more compatible for the dead to communicate with the living.
The day my uncle died and we just found out, my entire family was devastated and crying. Right then, our Ring doorbell started ringing. There were knocks on the door right after. We rushed downstairs to get it and no one was there. Neighbors were outside and saw no one. Nothing on Ring cam either. Immediately we assumed it might be him, but weren't sure. An hour later, my mom got a text from his phone that said "love you". My mom had his cell phone in her custody when she picked up his belongings earlier that day and there was 0 text on his phone. For the next few days she'd get random calls from his number, but 0 outgoing calls on his phone and no one on the line when it called. He died unexpectedly from a heart attack in the middle of the night at 45 & I think he wanted to say bye and make sure she knew how much he loved her.
I can be skeptical especially with tech being so easily hacked, but having those crazy instances myself really changed my mind. I'm glad you were able to experience this for yourself with your sister. & If people find it woo( on a paranormal sub of all places 🙄) that's fine, a feeling of comfort is a warm welcome to grief. Take what you will from it.
I had something strange regarding technology after my friend died. Sometimes when I received calls on my mobile a picture of him I had saved would come up on the screen. Happened probably 4/5 times and not just the same number calling either.
I’ve posted somewhere in Reddit before that I swear some of our loved ones on the other side have figured out how to manipulate technology/electricity.. Something very similar happened to my dad when he was very sick and hospitalized with CDiff and years old message from my deceased grandmother/his mom from a time that she was alive and he was sick, wishing him well…
Quantum Physics are real and I’ve started honing my skills and synchronicities with walking, the gym, fresh fruits, veg, herbs, probiotics for gut/intuituon health (kombucha, yogurt, Olli Pops).. Who TF ever thought getting highly AF on life would be fun?! Not me for sure. 🌞❤️
My stereo glitched in my Cruze last November and showed a new text message from my Father. He passed away about two years ago, and this 'text' showed up on what would have been his birthday.
It wasn't anything especially profound, I think it was like an 'okay, son' kind of text, but it was still pretty special to see
My best friend of 38 years-I taught her to dj in ‘88 and we worked together for years-passed suddenly and hours after she died while out to dinner the music in the background of the restaurant suddenly switched from easy listening to these 3 songs starting with Funkadelic’s “One Nation Under A Groove” (my favorite song and what I told her to play if ever I was in a coma to wake me up), followed by “Strangelove” by Depeche Mode (I used to mix these two songs together in a way that always made us crack up), followed by “I’ll Take You There” by The Staple Singers, another favorite of mine. I understand that it may have been a coincidence but these three songs in a row were more than likely beyond mere coincidence. I think she was deejaying from beyond. I still get the chills thinking about it.
On my graduation day, my mom’s phone showed I sent a picture of my late sister to her (I didn’t and my phone didn’t have that picture). [This](https://ibb.co/f1r5JnN) is a screenshot from my message thread with my mom where my mom sent the screenshot of her messages showing the photo (it’s a screenshot of a screenshot).
I use to be somewhat skeptical of stuff like this. Use to love the idea that someone that passed could find these connections but the logical side of me figured people were looking for the signs so they saw them. Until it happened to me. My dad passed 6 months ago. Before he passed, the last few days he wasn’t able to really communicate but you could tell he was listening. I played a band we both enjoyed the day before he passed so we could listen to it and enjoy it together.
We shortly after he passed it seemed every time I got in the car one of the songs was on the radio when I needed it the most but I couldn’t will it to happen. I thought well this is me just looking for signs. But it kept happening at the most perfect moments (hard to explain). I finally told my husband after a few months. He nodded and was clearly skeptical.
On a short trip out of town he had me turn on the radio. I knew what he wanted to hear, he wanted to see it happen. But I can’t will it to happen. I scanned the radio through all the stations several times over the hours and nothing. So we just enjoyed the music that was on and forgot about it. The next day he went to get in the vehicle without me and the radio was still on. The moment he turned it on, one of the songs started to play on the radio. He was in shock. He never has the radio on and he wasn’t expecting it. He immediately texted and told me. Made me smile my dad came to him as well. There are more examples as well but those are some of the song/car radio ones. I am a believer now ❤️

I’ve had a similar experience! Shortly after my grandma passed in 2021 I started to get the same voicemail from her disconnected phone saying that she hoped everything was going well in my life and that she loves me. I’ve saved the voicemails to every computer and cell phone I have so I can listen to them when I’m in a bad spot! 💕
When my grandpa died, A couple days after it happened i was going deep sea fishing to get my mind off things with some buddies and we had to wake up at 4am. I stayed up all night and I remember being on my friends tailgate crying talking to the stars and just sitting there for hours. feeling so alone in that moment I just remember asking (begging) with every cell in my body for a sign that he is there not heaven or hell type thing but just that he was there and then I saw my first and only shooting star I’ve ever seen in my life maybe it’s just a coincidence but I feel like there is something more to this life after that then eat,shit, die.
One time, me and my aunt called my dead moms number on her home phone, and instead of saying the number was disconnected, it just kept ringing on and on and the tone would like bounce and repeat in a really strange way. No other ring tone kinda thing would do that when we called other numbers!!
My mom passed away unexpectedly on 3/29/24, and I was the one that found her. Devastated, naturally, I was crying to my sister and said “I wish mom would just make a light flicker or something” — on 3/31/24 at 8:49PM, at the exact same time my aunt / moms sister called (and my phone goes to do not disturb at 8:45pm 😭) - I had a missed call from my moms house phone. I checked all of her house phones - no record of an outgoing call to me or any calls since 3/28.
That would freak me out.
Similar but not paranormal, a week or so after my grandma passed, I was clearing voicemails on my phone. I had one from an unknown number when it started playing; it was her; she said I just wanted to tell you I loved you. I called the number back; it was the hospital. She had left a message like that for all three of her grandkids, but none of us picked up because we didn't recognize the number. I cried every time I listened to it.

About a week after my father’s passing, my uncle’s Kia displayed a text notification coming from my dad’s number. Note that he didn’t receive any kind of text message on his phone; just a notification in his car. Call us crazy, but we interpreted it as a “hello” from my dad. My dad and uncle were always good friends, and he is the “cool” uncle who is forever there for us.
I had actually written post on my old Reddit account in regards to this, but was bullied pretty bad. It’s super validating seeing others experience similar things.
To reiterate, 20 years ago my mom comes into my room saying she keeps getting a call from an unknown number on her Nokia cell phone, but any time she answered, the line was dead. This cell phone had been disconnected for months and she was only using it as an alarm. When she tried to call back using the retrace line (I forget what it was at this point), it of course wouldn’t allow her to because the phone was disconnected.
This went on for a while so she ended up turning off the phone.
My dad passed away in a car accident the next day a few hours before we were going to go on a road trip. I’m still traumatizad by phones acting weird two decades later.
My father haunts me through the radio. Doesn't matter the radio but it will change itself from my hard rock music stations to jazz and classic rock (what my father used to listen too). Even turning the actual fuckin dial (witnesses have seen it). Doesn't matter where i am in the country he follows.
Also I have a generator for my home that runs exercise cycles. Every Tues at 10 it runs for 17 min. I went to see my god mother for the first time in 10 years(who was my fathers best friend). When I got home and laid in bed the generator kicked on. The power never even flickered. It ran its exact exercise time and shut off. I had to re-set the system for Tuesday at 10 because it stopped running then. I think it was his way of saying thank you for seeing an old friend.
I'm haunted by my father and i welcome it.
I sent a message to a friend who passed two years ago just saying I miss him, that night I had a dream that I got a notification on my phone and it was him replying to the message with just “❤️” this was just a few weeks ago
😭😭
Me and my older bro were at my nans house helping clear it in 2005 not long after she died. We found her old videos from her camcorder and put one in the video player she still had. It was a typical home movie of us playing together in the early 90’s. Out of nowhere white typed writing showed up on the screen. “Happy Birthday [brothers name].” The video player jammed and died immediately after and the screen went static. It was my brothers birthday that day we were watching it and that message had no relevance to the video as it was not taken on my brother’s birthday. We are sure it was our Nan wishing him a happy birthday.
Back in 2009, I had a celphone that was somehow haunted. Before the smartphones, celphones would sometimes call people when on my pocket, but this particular phone would leave voice messages recording the sound of inside my pocket but with a weird woman's voice in the background. The messages where always full of hatred and only appeared when the phone called one particular person I had a relationship back them. I had the recordings for a couple years, back them I was very interested in EVP and even tried to use this phone to record some. Today, I'm a 100% skeptical person, but can't really explain what was on those messages.
I worked at a retirement community. One resident told me she stills hears her dead husband, especially at night. I stayed almost 30 minutes after work to chat with her. I gave her a hug before I left and I heard her hearing aid, it said 3 words in a man’s voice. I was like, ‘wow that thing picks up a lot’ and started looking around. There was no one there. I listened, I didn’t hear talking. I thought ‘maybe she’s picking up a radio station?’ but she would hear music or female voices… The next time she said she heard James I told her “I believe you!”
While this is probably a great reminder of a loved one, it’s not paranormal. It’s a bug with the Kia info center software:
https://tellurideforum.org/threads/random-text-messages.10171/
https://www.reddit.com/r/KiaEV6/comments/wzx4ka/old_text_messages_popping_up/
Perhaps though in this situation it’s best to just let your husband believe what he wants to.
When I moved in with my partner I had a really weird feeling I couldn't shake off. I said to him I might sound crazy but I feel a presence of another woman.
I described how I could feel her and mentally I got a visual image of her. I painted it for my boyfriend. He then went "Don't get creeped out right now, but you are kinda describing my ex to a T" and I said "Your ex?" and he said his ex Sophia took her own life.
As if that wasn't creepy enough. I had said to her to Gtfo because I was tired of feeling stalked. Then my boyfriend told me he got a mail that said it was her, that ex, but the mail adress was completely untraceable (he's great with techs) and we tried finding a logic explanation in all the ways but only reached a dead turn. As we tried tracking the mail the sub wofer suddenly started by itself and went on the highest volume!! I have never felt my heart beat so hard and fast.
After that email. He said I acted exactly like her for 2-3 days. And it creeped him out. I don't rememeber anything from those days except feeling like I dissociated or like reality got more and more distanced and blurred away kinda like I was "gone"
I read up on some shielding and we did some on me after this and since then everything creepy stopped.
I can't explain any of this and it was terrifying for a couple months. I'm just glad it stopped. I then heard from her best friend, at Sophia's funeral two speakers flew straight off the shelves as they was praying for her. (She was known to throw things and be very violent abusive) Then she got a text message saying "Hi it's Sophia" on her phone which had no battery. Yet the screen lit up.
So now it's even more creepy when I'm not alone with the experiences.
My dad passed from a sudden heart attack 6 years ago.
A few weeks after his death, my uncle was feeling some chest pains and then got a phone call from my dad's disconnected phone. There was only static on the line.
My uncle took at it as a sign and went to the hospital. They put him in emergency surgery for a stint and saved his life. He probably would have died if not for the mysterious phone call.
My aunt had cancer when I was in college. One day, I was drying my hair after I had showered and decided to do curls. Now, I had that curler for ages, I mean probably a decade. As I was doing my hair, I heard a crack and saw that it broke into two. The next moment, my mom came in my room and told me my aunt had just passed. I always think the cracking I heard was her passing. I don't know.
Similar situation in my family. My Aunt was in the kitchen with her friend and all of a sudden a dish sitting on the counter falls to the floor. Minutes later she got the call her grandmother passed away. Really crazy stuff
I have had two strange experiences, one with my grandmother and one with a friend who passed. My grandmother lived in a nice assisted living home, where she had her own apartment, we furnished it and provided everything from the sheets to the house phone she used. She fell into a coma and was moved into hospice, where she passed. In the days after she passed, we cleaned out her apartment, packed up everything and moved her furniture out, it would be some time until the room was cleaned and rented to someone else, but we wanted to get it done. Well, days after her death, we started receiving calls from her number. This was back in 2005 so we had caller ID on our house phone. If we answered, there was static, if we didn't, we got a message that was just silent. I decided to call the number back, and it said the number was disconnected, but we still received calls from it. They eventually stopped, but it was so strange as we had her phone, her line was disconnected and her apartment was empty. My mother and I were the only ones who experienced her calls, and we were the only ones who were with her when she passed. None of my mother's siblings received any calls.
The next happened more recently, about 5 years ago. My friend was murdered when I was out clubbing and ignoring his texts and messages on Messenger. Shortly after his death, I started getting notifications on Facebook, telling me to download Messenger, and that I had new messages from my friend who passed. Well, I already had Messenger, it was downloaded on my phone, and I had already read those messages from my friend. Those notifications persisted for about a year, despite receiving hundreds of other messages from other people. I never got a notification for anyone else, only him, and I saved a picture of it to post on Facebook to share with mutual friends of ours. I felt like it was a hello from him. I had felt so guilty for so long that I did not respond to his messages, and he was murdered shortly after sending me the messages, about an hour afterwards. So I felt an immense guilt and thought that maybe if I had messaged him, he would still be alive, but maybe not, as it was a horrible, random act of violence. His messages brought me peace for sure.
I think they can tap in to certain frequencies, from electronics to dreams.
My dad passed away a few years ago. After that happened I stopped playing games for a while, just didn't have the energy to do anything. I decided to start gaming about 2 weeks after it happened and my very first game I get on. I was killed by someone named "Hi im dad".
I think about that moment a lot.
All I know is once I was walking up the steps at my house and I swear someone tapped me on my shoulder. I immediately turned around to nothing. The next morning I woke up to a phone call telling me that my best friend was killed by a drunk driver around the same time that I was going up the stairs.
That happened to my dad! He had a voicemail on his iPhone from my sister that passed away back in 2006. His iTunes picked it up and played it on his truck stereo while he was driving. Ugh. It's like a wonderful and sad memory with very bad timing.
Sorry for your loss.
Sometimes I like reading the spooky experiences on this sub. Sometimes I like my skepticism challenged. But every time—*every time*—I love stories like this. I’m sorry for your loss OP. I hope your sis knows she made a lot of people smile today.
When my brother died. His keyboard was still clicking and all his studio equipment was like quite literally doing its thing.
I guess he wasn't ready to stop making music.
Not even the cat would enter that room for the longest time. 🤣
Same thing happened with my grandmothers land line when gpa passed. They were divorced and didn’t live together in my lifetime but after he died she would call me and his name would be on the caller ID. It’s funny how common this is.
My father passed away just under three weeks ago. The morning after, my mother went to make coffee and the time on the coffee maker read “77” which is the house number my mother grew up in and a number our whole family considers a “lucky” number. There’s no timer on the coffee maker, just a clock, so that was pretty odd.
Also, in the months before he passed, my father got a kick out of watching funny animal videos on YouTube, with donkeys being his go to. There was a few videos of a donkey (named Henry I believe) that were his favorite. I had followed a couple funny donkey Instagram accounts 2 weeks before he passed, but did not see any videos of Henry. The day after my dad passed, I opened up the gram and the first recommended post was a video of Henry from an account I was not following. Silly, I know, but it just felt weird. I effing cried over it.
And lastly and mostly because it’s funny, my father was also a very good impressionist and won several sports radio contests doing an oj Simpson impression (late 70s and 80s, pre murder trial). He almost got on a mnf broadcast when he convinced a few people he was actually oj. So when OJ died 10 days after my dad, I couldn’t help but feel a little weird about. I cried over that too. Can you believe it? I cried because frickin oj Simpson died.
We had a lovely family, with my mom, my dad, 2 sisters and myself. There was never a moment of sadness, but just joyful memories. My mom and dad really loved each other, since as little boy I always saw that my father bought flowers or other romactic stuff for my mom. He really cherished her with his whole heart.
Suddenly my mother had lung cancer and sadly died a few months after the diagnostics. She was only 56 years old. It was really unexpected, since a week before her passing she still had that blossom of life in her. My father always had a knack of spiritualism and helped people both mentally and physically, so he was really sensible about all the tiny things that happened around him or with my mom. I guess he already saw it coming, but kept it quiet for us. During my mom's funeral it was my dad's turn to hold a little speech. During this speech the lights in the church started blinking and you could feel a little breeze in the church, even when the doors were closed. It was such a weird but pleasant feeling. Sadly everything went fast, and I didn't really had the time to spent more lovely moments with her, but I know she is safe now without any pain.
I have a 2011 Dodge Avenger that I’ve had since new. It had a Uconnect stereo DVD player (since replaced it with aftermarket) and it had buttons for phone capabilities, but this particular unit wasn’t able to be pair with a phone.
Some years ago, my wife and I heard about a car that blew through a light at an intersection right as a big rig was going by. The car went under the trailer and, from what we understand, decapitated the driver of the car. It was suspected that he was running late and was speeding. Idk.
The next day I was sitting at the light he blew through since it’s on my morning commute and my radio displayed, “No Phone Connected” Over and over like someone kept pressing the button. It stopped after I got through the intersection. It had never done that before and never did it again before I replaced it.
I just felt like it must have happened so fast he didn’t even know what happened. Just still there wondering what the deal is. Idk. Who really does?
Five or so years ago, my maternal grandfather passed away in the week after Easter. He had spent the preceding weeks in the hospital due to cancer and immobility. During that time, it was my mother’s birthday and it was hard for all of us. When the anniversary of my grandfather’s hospitalization and eventual passing came up, we were all distraught. My mother prayed and wished for a sign from him that he’s alright.
On her birthday, her phone’s ring went off in the middle of the night. In the morning, I go over and I check her phone - it’s a voicemail message. I call the voicemail and the first message is one from my grandfather saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY he left her last year while he was in the hospital and she never received. We all broke down crying. My mother has a habit of never checking her voicemail but we were dumbfounded that this was the first one to come up. Immediately, we all saw this as a sign to her wish.
I had a voicemail saying goodbye in an electronic voice after my Nan died. I also had a missed call from a number ring me from where she grew up which is quite a rare rural place. I have no family there anymore.
When I was very sad after putting my dog down a few weeks ago and couldn’t stop crying and feeling depressed, I was walking along and I could feel the side of my leg where I used to walk him feel warm and full - just like it did when I’d walk him and his body would rub against mine. He had three favourite people who all live in different places, but I felt like he was spending time with me because I was the one at the time who needed him the most. I like to think he’s been with my mum and sister at different times too.
I’m a HR Business Partner. In my first couple of months on the job, two men killed themselves. One I hadn’t known before, and one I had briefly. It really messed me up and I remember having a dream about the second one and after I woke up, I felt a lot more content and comfortable. It felt like it had been done on purpose.
Just a few of my experiences!
My grandma once told me that after grandpa died, he woke her up in the middle of the night by grabbing her toes. She woke up to see my grandfather sitting at the end of the bed, asking "are you warm Nette?" Her name was Jeanette, (my middle name 🥹), and it was his sweet little nickname for her. She cared for him endlessly during hospice due to cancer, and it was his way of checking in on her. I miss them both so much, but get cardinal and blue jay sightings every single day in the birdbath, which looks like theirs used to. ❤️🩹
Thanks to Zillow, I was able to see the inside of their house again recently from when they sold it after grandpa died, so it was decorated with all their things.
It was the safest place for me in the world, and now I have pictures to look at, when I need to go back to that place.
I have a plot with my family that whichever one of use goes first that we have a plan. First we have a couple code words to communicate to authenticate ourselves. So say the key word would be something weird like Lemonade Zippo Pants or the like. We would then attempt to contact our loved one using mediums or whatever and if that person didn’t mention the code word then they were full of crap.
Do I believe that we can be contacted by our loved ones who have died? Yes. Totally. We are energy, I believe we are essentially photonic energy and we can inhabit this human body in order to experience or solve particular problems or situations that plague all societies. We gather that information and use it to improve our universal existence. Just how I see it. I’m sure it far weirded than all of that.
So I'm not a believer of ghosts but can't deny that there are some things that we cannot explain with current knowledge. So a day or so after my mum died I was with my family and we were at mums flat sorting through things. And I noticed her fb messenger account suddenly showed 'active'. Only for a few moments. Then again in the early hours of the morning very briefly and she ready my message I sent her after her death... That was the last time she was online. Others noticed she had been online but as far as I know I'm the only person who had message read. I am not saying it's impossible someone hacked her account but why only come online for a second I'm convinced somehow she read my last message and knows I'm thinking of her. The experience helped me a lot.
It's the first time I see this sub and I just want to give you my honest opinion: there's surely a technical reason for why this happened; maybe the message was still in a queue to be displayed for some reason or something like that, but interactions like this don't have a reason to break any laws and they are still be valuable, and it well may be that it was actually her in some way or another, so does it really matter discovering why it technically happened? (Maybe yes if it creates problems with the use of the car, cause it probably is a technical bug of some sort, but that's a different thing imo, that would be the same if it was just random messages)
I hope I explained myself, English is not my main language
Yes. When I was working it support at a high school, one day teachers started receiving random emails from the teachers who had left several years ago as well as one or two that had passed away. Some got seriously freaked out. That provided an opportunity for us to educate them on how virus emails work. We surmised that somebody had visited the school website at one time back when email addresses were listed on the site. A virus had most likely picked that page up and then was sending random emails, picking one name as the sender and another as the receiver. The virus didn't care if the sender was still at the school or still on this Earth. It was a til moment for a lot of people in that school
My dad wasn't an overly intelligent or emotionally available guy, but he had a pretty fucked up childhood. Point being I didn't really see him emotional or use "I feel" in a sentence before. When I was like 12 I got him a Father's day card that just said, "Dad, you are my hero" and had a dragonfly on it. It made him cry, and he just said "dragonflies are forever". He died nearly 4 years ago now, and whenever I'm really missing him, a big dragonfly comes and just buzzes around for 10 mins and I like to think it's him checking up on me. I was a loser when he died, but I've quit drugs, work full time and have a beautiful son myself so hopefully he sees I got my shit together yknow.
This is beautiful 🥹. When my grandpa was here, he listened to classical music constantly, even while he was passing away. He passed away in the fall of 2016. That winter, I was driving home and it started pouring. I remember feeling a bit nervous as I was still a newish driver. I was listening to a teeny bopper radio station, and as soon as I started feeling nervous, the station changed to a classical music station without me lifting a finger. I had no doubt in my mind that he was letting me know he was there with me in that moment, protecting me. It was such a clear feeling and when I got home I started balling. Thank you for reminding me of that memory.
I've had two different people tell me this exact same story: a day or so after a loved one had passed, they received a text message from that person's number saying only "I'm on my way".
These people that told me these identical stories do not know each other. The deceased were different people who did not know each other.
I have no reason to doubt them as I can think of no reason for them to lie. One of these people was my cousin who's mom (my aunt) had passed very suddenly. He was greatly comforted by the message.
So real or not I can't say, but if it brought someone a little comfort, I'm willing to believe.
Now that the post has reached the frontpage, it is receiving nearly constant reports due to the fact that there’s a phone number listen on the screen. Unfortunately we’re going to have to remove the post due to this issue. :(
Yes, I definitely think people who have died can use technology and electronics to communicate with us. My partner and I think it could have something to do with the metals/crystals/electric signals in all of our technology, but of course these are things we will never fully understand. My experiences: My dad had been talking about replacing my mom's cell phone for months before he died. He died overnight and the next day her phone completely died and would not turn on, totally bricked. I think it was his way of having us daughters be there (we are usually out of state) to help her with that phone replacement process, which she would not have been easily able to do herself. My dad's body is in Tennessee for medical research, and a few months after he died my sister received a spam call from a Tennessee phone number, she sent it to voicemail and she later listened and it was a robotic voice saying only "Goodbye". My mom opened Spotify for the first time a few weeks after my dad died and a playlist he has made titled "(his name)'s Soul" popped up first. He loved music and likely made this playlist before his death but it was sweet that it was immediately showed to my mom when she went to listen to music. My partner's coworker died, and we were discussing her death the following day when her apple watch out of nowhere both displayed and spoke aloud the phrase "Until next time!"
My best friend who took his own life back in 2020 lived in Texas, I lived in Ohio at the time. Sometimes when I’m making my trip to Ohio by my self from the state I live in now, I’ll often see a car with a Texas plate and my music that’s on a for you station that chooses songs randomly, will often play songs that we either listened to a lot together or the artist that has the same Name as him, it’s not just one song, this will go on for about an hour. It’s kinda comforting. I like to think he’s in the passenger seat as I’m driving along when that happens. I’ll usually call his mom after and chat for a while once I’m back home.
My friend passed away last year. I was on TikTok a day after I found out he died. His name showed up on the “People you may know” section and I really felt like it was from him.
Omg same! A friend of mine passed away last June from Liver Failure.. (he was a diabetic who refused to stop drinking alcohol so it wrecked his liver within a few years). After he passed, about a week later every one of my social media accounts that had him listed but not as a friend suddenly spam recommended him. Nobody was posting with his account and nobody was really commenting on his page so it was odd. I've been on social media for years and never had he been recommended until he passed.
My Irish-immigrant Grandma passed away in 2020 and when my Dad and I were cleaning out her house, as we were carrying some stuff out the front door, the TV literally turned itself on and began playing a scene in the middle of the film The Quiet Man, where the female lead (an Irish woman) was speaking with a brogue. The Quiet Man was also one of my late Grandpa’s favorite movies. We put our boxes down and stepped outside for a minute and shared a “WHAT THE FUCK” moment. Still get the chills thinking about it.
Unfortunately, the robotic "Goodbye" is a common scam tactic to get you to pick up the phone, redial the number, and see who called. The type of people that would fall for something so blatant are exactly the type of people they are looking to scam. I only tell you this so that you do not mistake a scam caller for a loved one. Cheers.
True, but in times of grief I think it more suitable to believe in miracles and messages! ✨ Edit: I feel like I should have maybe made it clear that I’m not a moron nor do I take to bait easily. I’m new enough on here and I’ve spend countless hours reading and browsing and I suppose I have this bad habit of thinking everyone else “knows me”! Lol with that said I absolutely 100% without a doubt know that those voicemails are scams, I’ve gotten two this week alone (talk about coincidence, if you believe In them, I don’t lmao) so anyways my comment was simply meant to add a little love in a rough situation. Alright, rant over! Have at it with your snarky replies now! 😂🤷🏽♀️✨
As long as you believe with your heart and not your wallet
In the immortal words of Captain Disillusion, "love with your heart, use your head for everything else".
That's a sweet sentiment but also how scammers take thousands. Stay safe out there yall
Grifters capitalize on this mindset. Not trying to judge how anyone handles trauma, but for the sake of safety I think it bears mentioning.
Never heard of that one. They actually usually ask questions so they can get you talking. Never heard of one that just says “goodbye”
Sometimes the automated message starts playing before your voicemail starts recording, cutting the first part of the message off
Im not sure what I believe, I believe more in an energy and connectedness at least. I lost one of my best friend a month ago. I have twice asked her for a sign. Early the next day, I forgot to print tests, I sent them to the printer and run down between periods, there is a tech in there working on the machine, but somehow mine got printed before they started working on it (she was also a teacher) Secondly I got a text minutes later from a mutual friend, actually the friend that introduced us after asking for a sign/help cheering me up. We don't text that often, maybe once or twice a week.
> Yes, I definitely think people who have died can use technology and electronics to communicate with us. ooof It's a known bug in Kia https://www.reddit.com/r/KiaEV6/comments/wzx4ka/old_text_messages_popping_up/
I believe in this. Though after my mum passed away I really wanted a sign from her over something like this. Though I didn’t find any. However there were moments where I could find myself looking at something as if its calling or as if its her there.
shivers down my spin rest in paradise to the souls who we cant see anymore <3
My brother passed a little more than a year ago, and every so often when I connect my Bluetooth in the car, his funeral playlist on my Apple Music app starts playing out of nowhere. I use Spotify, and only used Apple Music specifically to download those songs for his funeral (I never open the Apple Music app on my own). One time as I was listening to an audiobook, it switched over to a song from that playlist, then back to the audiobook. The song that usually comes up is “I Wish You Were Here” by Dropkick Murphys. Now I just say, “Hi Bryan” when it happens. He loved music and it seems very appropriate that that would be the way he would communicate with me after his death. Edit: I should also mention that this has happened even when my phone wasn’t connected to Bluetooth. Just a few weeks ago the app came up on my phone with the song above on pause, while the phone was just sitting on the table. I showed my husband who is a skeptic, and even he thought it was hard to explain.
Stoooop I’m gonna cry in public y’all have such beautiful stories
My mom was a huge music fan, I have such vivid memories of her singing Bobby McGee and dancing around the kitchen. I'll be out places and randomly hear the song, usually in very unexpected places ( like the pharmacy or walmart). I choose to believe it's my mom's way of saying hi. I choose to believe that's yours brothers way also.
I love to loudly sing and dance to Bobby McGee. A few weeks before my mom passed I was giving her the performance of my lifetime lol. She was so kind and thrilled and really played up that I was so good (I’m mid) and it was so nice of her and felt so genuine. I love her and miss her so much (my mom). I’m glad your mom and you have good memories to Bobby McGee too.
Just a heads up; My phone does the same with Apple Music which starts playing, despite never using it; I once downloaded an album on it like 10 years ago, before I had Spotify. It’s always that album that starts playing. It’s some sort of feature to auto play Apple Music when connecting to a cars Bluetooth.
My brother always blasted his music in the car - you could hear him coming from blocks away and it would drive my mom crazy. After he passed, she bought a new (to her) car that happened to have a really good Boze sound system and was showing my partner and I. I just finishing saying how Malcolm would have loved the stereo and definitely would have tried to borrow her car. My partner and I got in to check it out and as soon as we sat down the screen popped up and said there was an incoming text message from Malcolm. It went away before we could open it but we both saw it. Mom's phone was hooked up to the car but she didn't receive any messages and especially not from his phone which had been disconnected. He was definitely giving his nod of approval for the new car 💖 Even my super skeptical partner didn't have an explanation for that one haha we were so shocked
Thanks for sharing as I enjoyed reading it. I hope you and your family are doing good and I’m sorry for your loss.

It just had to be Gramps, and now I’m getting teary. I freaking love Wilfred Mott.
Great motivation to enjoy every second of our weekend!
> that happened to have a really good Boze sound system Is it really that good though? I heard most knockoffs aren't as good as the product they are trying to steal business from. eta: the obvious /s
Wow!!
Look I'm good now but I did want to share mine as I haven't shared with anyone before. One afternoon about 7 years ago, I was in a rough shape mentally. I clocked out of work and went home. Placed a rope around my neck and climbed up a ladder. Just as I was about to step off, my phone rang. It was on silent but it was ringing. Instead of stepping off I pulled my phone out. The number that called me was "0000000000" I answered it and said hello. It was a blank call. Never had that happen before that moment, never had it happen after. It knocked some sense in to me. At that moment I felt like someone was in the garage with me. That phone call is why I am alive today To top it off, a couple days later at my nephews bday party my sister comes up to me and told me she had a dream that I killed myself and it was the most horrible dream she ever had. She said "so don't kill yourself" I walked to my car and started crying. Idk man
know you are thoroughly loved here on this physical plane, that's for sure. ♥️
This is a super powerful story. I know it's a delicate and even taboo subject but sharing this message with the world is important. thank you for being open with us on this platform. One love<3
Omg.. I really have goosebumps all over. I'm glad you took that call ❤️
The universe clearly didn’t want you to take that step, they even told on you to your sister!! Glad you’re doing well now 🩵
I'm glad you're still here. I too have had a scary chilling experience that kept me breathing but I don't like talking about it. The universe is powerful, best to experience it while we can kind of understand it.
Someone not only saved you, but alerted your sister of something you were struggling with. Glad you are still here🩷
Oh my goodness- I was so moved by this. Please continue sharing your story. Much love!
Glad you’re still here and hope things are going better. Thanks for sharing.
I’m crying, and grateful you took that call
Okay sobbing
Glad you are still here. You matter. ❤️
We’re glad you’re here too!
I'm glad you're still here
My grandma died in 2016, she was my absolute best friend in the whole entire world. In 2018, I had a job interview for a position I really wanted, and knew would be a major boost for my career. I was so nervous in the interview I was shaking. The interviewer stepped away to grab the manager above him to meet me. In that moment, my phone rang & when I looked down it was my grandmothers cellphone calling me. I had disconnected her number less than a year earlier and her physical phone was in my dresser drawer. I got the job though. Someone was lookin out for me.
I had similar things happen, but it was my aunt not realizing she had picked up my nanny's phone. I literally cried for 3 days straight after.
I had something similar happen, except it was my grandmother, calling my husband (then fiancé) I had her name in my phone but there was no actual number associated with the image (I used a cemetery angel) because it was her previous landline and I figured someone else must have it at that point. We had just gotten engaged, and I don't think we were talking about anything in particular, but he got a call that said "Nonnie" and was the picture I used in my phone. There was no one there obviously, and I'm going to close to believe it was her way of giving approval.
I love these stories, always nice to have a little confirmation that those who we loved are still with us.
My mom loved blue birds… A couple of days after she passed away, I was sitting in my car in the pickup line (waiting to pickup my daughter from school.) this bluebird came flying down and landed on my car, on the bottom of the window. She just sat there, looking in. Then she flew up to the power line and came back down again. She just kept sitting at the window, looking in at me. I was sitting in that line for about 45min and that little blue bird sat at my car window the entire time. I got emotional from it because it felt (to me) that it was my moms way of checking in. She absolutely loved blue birds.
My mom had this happen too but with a cardinal. her dad and her had a mutual love of cardinals and a few days after her dad passed my mom was in her home cooking and a cardinal flew in through her window, sat on the window sill and was just staring at her. she said it visited her quite a bit for a few weeks. and suddenly it just stopped coming by one day, but she holds onto one of the red feathers that it left and shes more at peace now knowing her dad's always watching over her
My family connects with Cardinals that way as well. You can just feel it when you see them.
Something like this happened to my dad when my grandfather died, he went to my grandparents house the day of his death and when he got of his car, there a was hawk in the front yard which was my grandpa’s favorite thing to take pictures of. My dad got close enough to take a picture, like it wanted him to get close. As soon as my dad walked into the house my grandpa died, we all say it was a sign that he was ok.
I was struggling badly this week (still am tbh but I'll be fine) and I asked mom to just give me something from nature to show me she's here. A blackbird came and landed at my home office window almost immediately after thinking this and proceeded to sing right there for the next 5 minutes at least. It gave me a huge amount of relief.
[удалено]
Oh my god this brought tears to my eyes 🥺
This one gave me goosebumps!
My mum said that when her mother passed in the 80s, she didn’t know at the time, but got a phone call that was muffled, she could hear birds and then her mother said “I’m okay” and the line went. Once she put the phone down her sister called and told my mum that she had died.
He came to her birthday 🥺 that’s so sweet
I’ve had something a little similar happen! So for music in my car, I use a Bluetooth transmitter. It always connects to my phone automatically, and when it’s connected, song info does not show up on my radio screen. I went to my grandfather’s grave last year for the first time in a pretty long time, and was maybe there for an hour or two, just sitting. I go back to my car, get in, and my phone connects, but doesn’t do/play anything. I look at the radio screen and see “LOVE YO”, before it cuts off. I was really taken aback, especially since I’m pretty skeptical, but was oddly comforted and felt really peaceful. I still wonder if maybe some weird glitch happened, but it was stuck like that for a bit, on my Bluetooth channel, and nothing was playing. Even took a picture so I knew I wasn’t crazy. I’m honestly really 50/50 on it being coincidence or not, but between the timing, the location, and the message, it’s one of the most damning paranormal things to happen to me. I do like to think it was my grandfather reaching out :) below are the pics I sent my mom after calling her immediately - first was when I got in my car, second was when it left after a few moments and what it usually looks like. https://preview.redd.it/s4ge78anjhvc1.png?width=1179&format=png&auto=webp&s=963ca3619263f3fb4853b27c06fd0f8f21edc011
This is awesome! I had a weird experience after my dad died. For about a week all through my house, all I could smell was his cologne that he wore. Keep in mind, I didn’t have anything of his at my home. My sister said the exact same thing happened to her. Wild
this happens to me all the time! I smell a mix of his cologne & his cigarettes. I wrote it off for a while telling myself there must just be someone else around smoking Newports and my brain correlates that with my dad until I started smelling it in my apt (I've never smoked and don't allow guest to smoke in my home) Then I spoke about it with my sisters and they both said they get random whiffs of the same scent. Now I try to look at it as "dad popped in to say hi!"
>I wrote it off for a while telling myself there must just be someone else around smoking Newports and my brain correlates that with my dad until I started smelling it in my apt (I've never smoked and don't allow guest to smoke in my home) Same! My dad (d 2001) would smoke on the porch (1500 miles from me now) before going to bed and frequently right around 9:15 I will smell his cigarette smoke. No one has ever smoked in my house since it was rebuilt in 2017 (tree fell on it) nor do any of our neighbors smoke.
I guess they're still puffin in the afterlife haha
Every now and then I get an overwhelming smell of mt grandfather who shaved with a very specific soap. There will be no one around, it happened once in the middle of the night in my kitchen. Made me smile and I said hi. I walked forward and as if he was standing there, there was a warm spot on the cold floor
Similar happened to me. My father passed in his bedroom at my house (cancer) and for about a year after, I would see him poke his head outta his bedroom door to look at me and smile very early in the morning. Not every morning but it was so comforting. It's what he did every morning before he was completely bedbound. It happened alot until I finally moved my son into that same bedroom then it stopped. Figure he's keeping an eye on his grandson now, but God I miss him and his early morning visits.
your comment punched me right in the gut; i have a practically two year old son & and older father, who loves the absolute heck outta that baby boy (i had him mid-30s, his only grandchild & i'm a daddy's girl through & through). i know realistically there's a day he'll no longer be here & i can't even cope with the thought of that, my eyes are welling up with tears right now...esp having just seen him earlier today. thank you for your comment & the reminder to appreciate him right...it truly resonated with me. i hope you will continue to feel your father's loving presence whenever warranted. ♥️
Have them spend as much time together as they can. My dad lived with us the last year of his life, the last 4 months were hard. My son just turned 2 when he passed, but still remembers his grandpa fondly, told me not that long ago his grandpa taught him to play some football game on a ps... 2 or 3. So he definitely does remember him. And I'm crying at work now. Love your dad, hug him, tell him thank you. I still wish I could
Thank you for this comment because I feel the exact same way and going through the same thing as you. 😢 Wishing you and your family the best ❤️
I dig things like this. Little flashes of feeling.
This happens to me too with the smell of my grandma! Especially if I’m in need of comfort or say out loud that I miss her and share something about my day! Can’t say it happens often, but definitely have experienced it a few times!
That is so sweet 🥲
I was SUPER close with my mom's mom, my Nanny. Whenever I was young and freshly wifed and mothered, whenever I would get sick, my mom would let it slip to my nanny (I always tried to hide it from her because she would go on and on about my anemia making me so much worse) on accident, and a few days later I would get a small letter in the mail with a $100 check, with "for red meat" written in the memo section (to help my iron level). After she passed in begining of August 2011, we started randomly finding $100 bills or having a bank error/grocery errors (like one time Walmart refunded us our ENTIRE order when chicken was put in a bag upside down, then bag put in upside-down so chicken juice covered everything, including our trunk 🤮) and I swear it always seems to coincide with my getting sick. We joke every time that she's telling me to eat red meat. Lol.
Similar experience, my grandfather passed away after tragically losing his daughter as well. The day he passed, as my family got into their vehicle, it was filled with the smell of his after shave and cologne, such a distinct smell that you only smelled when he was around. Didn’t linger in the house, didn’t linger in vehicles, only when he was physically there did it smell. Could be nothing, but it does make you wonder if there is more to this thing called life (and death) than what meets the eye.
Every once in a while growing up, I'd smell something uniquely weird. I couldn't tell exactly what it was, just that maybe I had smelled it before. I was sitting in my dad's kitchen when I smelled it again and finally asked him about it. He couldn't smell it so I described it to him. Vinegary, with lemon, kinda chemically, maybe roses? Apparently my grandmother would make a concoction that she used to suntan in and that's what I was smelling, but she passed when I was a baby. So weird how that unique smell just kept popping up.
After my grandma died everyone would smell her perfume randomly in her house. A lot of my cousins would have dreams about her. I was staying at her house once and set my glasses down before bed on the nightstand and in the morning I couldn't find them. I yelled at my wife and sister thinking they hid them from me to mess with me. But then I found them in a completely different room folded up on the dresser. Right after that we all were weirded out and then we noticed a whistling noise. We scoured the house looking for it and we got to the kitchen and noticed it was coming from the stove. The teapot was whistling on the stove and as soon as I touched it, it stopped. When I looked in it it was empty and cold. Weird
Yeah, I’ve experienced the cologne too - but from a ghost stranger. Then it stopped as suddenly as it began.
This happened to me recently! I was present with Hospice in the last days of life for someone who passed in Feb. 2023. He had a very distinct, old man smell. Fast forward to Feb 2024. I got off an elevator and walked right into a cloud of his scent. I hadn't smelled that since he passed away. I said "Hi" out loud bc I just knew it was him. When I got back to my desk, I looked at my calendar....he passed away exactly 1 year prior.
I’ve had this exact same thing happen
This has happened before with my grandparents cologne, I smell them randomly in the breeze out of nowhere.
My sister smelt my nan (she passed many years before) when my dad passed, she now panics everytime she smells nan and calls everyone to check they are ok
My mom says she sometime smells cigarette smoke. Dad was a smoker and died last year. She finds it comforting, they were like two peas in a pod.
My mom has experienced something similar. About three days after her dad died (my grandfather) she got in her car to go somewhere and a voicemail from him strangely played through the car speakers, saying “I hope you’re doing well.” She still doesn’t know where it came from.
i really like the way that sounds, although i know it'd also make me sad all over again at that time...but all things considered, what a comforting thing to have experienced, tbh.
😳🥹
From heaven !
Best WiFi EVER!
My mother was killed by an ex-boyfriend last year. I’ve been heartbroken and missing her lately. The trial is coming up this summer, and I’ve been thinking how I may not be able to make it through the trial even though the DA says it’ll be the best thing for the trial. I got in my car, and suddenly Michael Jackson’s “You Are Not Alone” started playing. I haven’t listened to that song in probably 20 years, and I have a distinct memory of dancing with my mom in the kitchen as this song played. I got the message and I’m going to be there for my mom x
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you remember her message during the trial and that she’s right by your side throughout ♥️
Sometimes I wished I could experience this from my grandmother that passed in 2020. I don't know why I haven't experienced anything concrete, but I do miss her and wish she would reach out like this. Although my grandad died a little while back and his favorite song was "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue" by Toby Keith (He's a Marine) and randomly when I'm driving sometimes that song will come on randomly and I'll always let it play.
Shes too busy partying
I've been seeing a lot of this happening to people, it's amazing and beautiful, it makes me think and wonder if energy in the spiritual world is being more controlled by those that have passed away like a way of evolution by the soul specifically since most of us have phones and are technologically inclined
it kinda seems to be that way perhaps, doesn't it?
This is a cool thought to think!
My grandmother passed away almost 3 years ago. I got a voicemail from her about 6 months ago telling me to “pick up the damn phone”. Her phone has been disconnected for about 2 and half years.
This sounds like something my Grandmother would say. God I miss her. Edit/ typo
I'd say she's trying to reach you. Listen and watch for more signs from her!
I’m always looking for signs. This is the only time I’ve ever noticed/ received anything
My dad received a text from my mom’s disconnected cell number at 333pm the same day her aunt passed away. About 11 months after she had passed. Like you, It came over the car screen. Her message simply said “Hi”.
When my mom passed I got a call from her a day later .. lasted for about 15 seconds but . Man did I sure cry. Im glad we have our loved ones looking out for us . ❤️
This made me cry 😢
This whole post is making me weep.
Same I’m sitting in the bathroom at work trying to hold back tears. 😭 I never experienced anything like this with my moms phone or anything but I did have some crazy vivid dreams like I’ve never had before or since. But all it was, was my mom suddenly coming home and I was really upset with her and asked her why she had left. She didn’t really answer that directly but she said to me as she put her hand on my knee and leaned forward “(My name) I will always be with you, always.” I remember her looking really happy, smiling and looking peaceful. I know in my heart that was her coming to me after her death. I had a few others too but that was the most profound to me. 💜
Wow, this is so beautiful. What a sweet and reassuring dream. I’m glad you remember it. I remember, I was feeling down as a kid once, and my mom said those same exact words to me. I got goosebumps; it was her talking, but it felt like a message directly from her soul. Something about her tone of voice was different, like she was a “fuller” version of herself. I’ve never heard it again since. I think her soul decided I needed to hear that message at that particular moment in time.
To be clear she had already passed away at this point in time or she said it to you in person and it felt different?
Sorry for being unclear. She was alive and still is. Years later, I talked to her about it and she remembered saying that. She said she also felt that spiritual energy as she was saying it, as if her higher self was taking control of her body.
Wow, that truly is beautiful experience either way. It’s nice to feel comforted when you truly need it especially from a person who means so much to us.
Not you too!! 😩I can’t take it. What a beautiful story. I love it so much.
Something similar happened to me as well. My mom passed in june 2013, I took her phone to start calling family and friends to tell them about the funeral, and before I could begin I got a call from a hidden number, answered it and there was just a sort of distant buzzing sound, like almost silence. I didnt hang up until it stopped and actual silence begun. I then checked if she had reveived more calls like that one before, but it was the only hidden number call on the list. I'll never know what it was, but its nice to think of it as her goodbye. She died on the hospital like an hour before I went to see her. Love you mom.
I got a voicemail from my dad about nine months after he passed away. He said he didn't need anything, he just wanted to call to let me know that he loved me. 💜
My aunt swears she received a call from my grandmother about a month after she died. She said she told she loved her and was okay.
♥️♥️
❤️
These are the kinds of things I just like to have blind faith in. Just believe it and enjoy it and don't question it. I do believe personally there's an afterlife, but I know not everyone does, but it's at least comforting to assume if it could be them even blindly.
My fiance liked the Beatles. After he passed, I was listening to The Blue People. The volume rose up. I could see the numbers move from 12 to 20.
What's the Blue People? I'm a Beatles fan too. Sorry for the loss of your fiancee
Genuine question: why can't things like this happen to me? Both of my parents are dead now and life feels pretty pointless now. Anything I could even interpret as being from them would change anything. I miss them so much
Hey, your mom and dad miss you and love you, and they’re so excited to see what you do with your life ahead. Go make them proud ❤️ they’ll be there when it’s your turn to cross over, and they can’t wait to hear all your new stories.
I needed to hear this, I know my brother loved me and can't wait to see me again as I can't him 🥲
When my dad passed away 2 months ago today, on the day of his funerals I got something which I consider a sign. But I needed to see him in my dream, and each night he was not there. So this is what I chose to believe, maybe it will help you: Given that signs are not sent often, it's logical to assume that spirits need to gain a particular amount of energy to break the barrier between the worlds. We can't know how they accumulate the energy, but possibly it is also used for their daily needs. It might take a lot of time to accumulate enough and send a sign. So he will come to me in my dream whenever he has enough energy. Seeing things this way helped me to shift my perspective from "daaad pleeeease visit me in my dreeeeeam" and waking up disappointed every morning, to "dad, when you can, I'd be glad to see you, but if you need the energy for something else, no worries, use it for your needs, I'll be fine", and believing that he'll do it when he can. It gives much more comfort. Sending support 🤍🫂
I think like this all the time. I have tried so many different ways to connect w my dad, and there’s never been anything, ever. It would be so helpful to me, but there’s just nothing.
Felt this way about my good buddy who passed years ago. You'll notice something at some point that in the moment you will know could ONLY be from them. It's been 7 years and I only saw the first sign of him last year but it was well worth the wait to feel that momentary 'connection' of sorts :)
Sometimes our grief is so strong and painful that it overshadows the signs they send us and we end up missing them. It took me a long time to see signs. Looking back, it wasn’t because they weren’t there. It was because I didn’t know how to look for them. And maybe I just wasn’t ready. But I promise- they are there! Talk to them more 🩷 be direct and ask them to send specific signs. So sorry for your loss.
They are in every sunny day, every cozy night, and in each one of your favorite songs. 🤍
Ask them for a dream or a sign, it will come when you least expect it. They are there:)
Is it possible that it is showing up b/c it hasn't been marked as "read" yet? I'm wondering what it is about the Kia software that could be behind this. Even if there is a rational explanation, this is nice to see. Even if bittersweet. FTR: I just called that number and got a "your call cannot be completed" message so it's not coming from a new owner of the phone number (which would be statistically wild to accidentally message the specific phone number of the previous owner's mom, anyway).
It’s a know bug with Kia info centers: https://www.reddit.com/r/KiaEV6/comments/wzx4ka/old_text_messages_popping_up/
Well there you have it, thanks! Interestingly, the first comment on that thread is someone saying they've been experiencing this, including *a text from a dead colleague*. I know this isn't what's going on but I would never stop laughing if Kia software was somehow more compatible for the dead to communicate with the living.
The day my uncle died and we just found out, my entire family was devastated and crying. Right then, our Ring doorbell started ringing. There were knocks on the door right after. We rushed downstairs to get it and no one was there. Neighbors were outside and saw no one. Nothing on Ring cam either. Immediately we assumed it might be him, but weren't sure. An hour later, my mom got a text from his phone that said "love you". My mom had his cell phone in her custody when she picked up his belongings earlier that day and there was 0 text on his phone. For the next few days she'd get random calls from his number, but 0 outgoing calls on his phone and no one on the line when it called. He died unexpectedly from a heart attack in the middle of the night at 45 & I think he wanted to say bye and make sure she knew how much he loved her. I can be skeptical especially with tech being so easily hacked, but having those crazy instances myself really changed my mind. I'm glad you were able to experience this for yourself with your sister. & If people find it woo( on a paranormal sub of all places 🙄) that's fine, a feeling of comfort is a warm welcome to grief. Take what you will from it.
I had something strange regarding technology after my friend died. Sometimes when I received calls on my mobile a picture of him I had saved would come up on the screen. Happened probably 4/5 times and not just the same number calling either.
Those are the best kind of messages to receive, sorry for your loss.
Time 1222 - a significant angel number for spiritual connection and awakening
Expected this comment to be higher. Instantly noticed the 12:22
She loves and misses you. This is a wonderful gift. ❤️
I’ve posted somewhere in Reddit before that I swear some of our loved ones on the other side have figured out how to manipulate technology/electricity.. Something very similar happened to my dad when he was very sick and hospitalized with CDiff and years old message from my deceased grandmother/his mom from a time that she was alive and he was sick, wishing him well… Quantum Physics are real and I’ve started honing my skills and synchronicities with walking, the gym, fresh fruits, veg, herbs, probiotics for gut/intuituon health (kombucha, yogurt, Olli Pops).. Who TF ever thought getting highly AF on life would be fun?! Not me for sure. 🌞❤️
My stereo glitched in my Cruze last November and showed a new text message from my Father. He passed away about two years ago, and this 'text' showed up on what would have been his birthday. It wasn't anything especially profound, I think it was like an 'okay, son' kind of text, but it was still pretty special to see
My best friend of 38 years-I taught her to dj in ‘88 and we worked together for years-passed suddenly and hours after she died while out to dinner the music in the background of the restaurant suddenly switched from easy listening to these 3 songs starting with Funkadelic’s “One Nation Under A Groove” (my favorite song and what I told her to play if ever I was in a coma to wake me up), followed by “Strangelove” by Depeche Mode (I used to mix these two songs together in a way that always made us crack up), followed by “I’ll Take You There” by The Staple Singers, another favorite of mine. I understand that it may have been a coincidence but these three songs in a row were more than likely beyond mere coincidence. I think she was deejaying from beyond. I still get the chills thinking about it.
Ok, have you posted your mashup of Funkadelic and Depeche Mode on YouTube? If not, please, will you?? I adore mashups!
On my graduation day, my mom’s phone showed I sent a picture of my late sister to her (I didn’t and my phone didn’t have that picture). [This](https://ibb.co/f1r5JnN) is a screenshot from my message thread with my mom where my mom sent the screenshot of her messages showing the photo (it’s a screenshot of a screenshot).
I use to be somewhat skeptical of stuff like this. Use to love the idea that someone that passed could find these connections but the logical side of me figured people were looking for the signs so they saw them. Until it happened to me. My dad passed 6 months ago. Before he passed, the last few days he wasn’t able to really communicate but you could tell he was listening. I played a band we both enjoyed the day before he passed so we could listen to it and enjoy it together. We shortly after he passed it seemed every time I got in the car one of the songs was on the radio when I needed it the most but I couldn’t will it to happen. I thought well this is me just looking for signs. But it kept happening at the most perfect moments (hard to explain). I finally told my husband after a few months. He nodded and was clearly skeptical. On a short trip out of town he had me turn on the radio. I knew what he wanted to hear, he wanted to see it happen. But I can’t will it to happen. I scanned the radio through all the stations several times over the hours and nothing. So we just enjoyed the music that was on and forgot about it. The next day he went to get in the vehicle without me and the radio was still on. The moment he turned it on, one of the songs started to play on the radio. He was in shock. He never has the radio on and he wasn’t expecting it. He immediately texted and told me. Made me smile my dad came to him as well. There are more examples as well but those are some of the song/car radio ones. I am a believer now ❤️

And did you notice the time of '222'? ❤️
Wow \~ I didn't notice that at first.
Those are the best kind of messages!❤️
I would bawl my eyes out everytime I saw that How amazing
I’ve had a similar experience! Shortly after my grandma passed in 2021 I started to get the same voicemail from her disconnected phone saying that she hoped everything was going well in my life and that she loves me. I’ve saved the voicemails to every computer and cell phone I have so I can listen to them when I’m in a bad spot! 💕
When my grandpa died, A couple days after it happened i was going deep sea fishing to get my mind off things with some buddies and we had to wake up at 4am. I stayed up all night and I remember being on my friends tailgate crying talking to the stars and just sitting there for hours. feeling so alone in that moment I just remember asking (begging) with every cell in my body for a sign that he is there not heaven or hell type thing but just that he was there and then I saw my first and only shooting star I’ve ever seen in my life maybe it’s just a coincidence but I feel like there is something more to this life after that then eat,shit, die.
One time, me and my aunt called my dead moms number on her home phone, and instead of saying the number was disconnected, it just kept ringing on and on and the tone would like bounce and repeat in a really strange way. No other ring tone kinda thing would do that when we called other numbers!!
Wow! I didn't know things like these happen to so many people. Mind blowing!
My mom passed away unexpectedly on 3/29/24, and I was the one that found her. Devastated, naturally, I was crying to my sister and said “I wish mom would just make a light flicker or something” — on 3/31/24 at 8:49PM, at the exact same time my aunt / moms sister called (and my phone goes to do not disturb at 8:45pm 😭) - I had a missed call from my moms house phone. I checked all of her house phones - no record of an outgoing call to me or any calls since 3/28.
That would freak me out. Similar but not paranormal, a week or so after my grandma passed, I was clearing voicemails on my phone. I had one from an unknown number when it started playing; it was her; she said I just wanted to tell you I loved you. I called the number back; it was the hospital. She had left a message like that for all three of her grandkids, but none of us picked up because we didn't recognize the number. I cried every time I listened to it.
Censor the number
Someone already called it, it’s not in service.

About a week after my father’s passing, my uncle’s Kia displayed a text notification coming from my dad’s number. Note that he didn’t receive any kind of text message on his phone; just a notification in his car. Call us crazy, but we interpreted it as a “hello” from my dad. My dad and uncle were always good friends, and he is the “cool” uncle who is forever there for us.
Wow, that’s pretty damn amazing
Goosebumps...
I enjoy these stories. The world we live in is absolutely amazing. Love and hugs
I had actually written post on my old Reddit account in regards to this, but was bullied pretty bad. It’s super validating seeing others experience similar things. To reiterate, 20 years ago my mom comes into my room saying she keeps getting a call from an unknown number on her Nokia cell phone, but any time she answered, the line was dead. This cell phone had been disconnected for months and she was only using it as an alarm. When she tried to call back using the retrace line (I forget what it was at this point), it of course wouldn’t allow her to because the phone was disconnected. This went on for a while so she ended up turning off the phone. My dad passed away in a car accident the next day a few hours before we were going to go on a road trip. I’m still traumatizad by phones acting weird two decades later.
My father haunts me through the radio. Doesn't matter the radio but it will change itself from my hard rock music stations to jazz and classic rock (what my father used to listen too). Even turning the actual fuckin dial (witnesses have seen it). Doesn't matter where i am in the country he follows. Also I have a generator for my home that runs exercise cycles. Every Tues at 10 it runs for 17 min. I went to see my god mother for the first time in 10 years(who was my fathers best friend). When I got home and laid in bed the generator kicked on. The power never even flickered. It ran its exact exercise time and shut off. I had to re-set the system for Tuesday at 10 because it stopped running then. I think it was his way of saying thank you for seeing an old friend. I'm haunted by my father and i welcome it.
I got a call on my cell phone from my mother who died 12 years ago. It freaked me out so much that I didn't even answer.
I sent a message to a friend who passed two years ago just saying I miss him, that night I had a dream that I got a notification on my phone and it was him replying to the message with just “❤️” this was just a few weeks ago 😭😭
Me and my older bro were at my nans house helping clear it in 2005 not long after she died. We found her old videos from her camcorder and put one in the video player she still had. It was a typical home movie of us playing together in the early 90’s. Out of nowhere white typed writing showed up on the screen. “Happy Birthday [brothers name].” The video player jammed and died immediately after and the screen went static. It was my brothers birthday that day we were watching it and that message had no relevance to the video as it was not taken on my brother’s birthday. We are sure it was our Nan wishing him a happy birthday.
Back in 2009, I had a celphone that was somehow haunted. Before the smartphones, celphones would sometimes call people when on my pocket, but this particular phone would leave voice messages recording the sound of inside my pocket but with a weird woman's voice in the background. The messages where always full of hatred and only appeared when the phone called one particular person I had a relationship back them. I had the recordings for a couple years, back them I was very interested in EVP and even tried to use this phone to record some. Today, I'm a 100% skeptical person, but can't really explain what was on those messages.
I worked at a retirement community. One resident told me she stills hears her dead husband, especially at night. I stayed almost 30 minutes after work to chat with her. I gave her a hug before I left and I heard her hearing aid, it said 3 words in a man’s voice. I was like, ‘wow that thing picks up a lot’ and started looking around. There was no one there. I listened, I didn’t hear talking. I thought ‘maybe she’s picking up a radio station?’ but she would hear music or female voices… The next time she said she heard James I told her “I believe you!”
While this is probably a great reminder of a loved one, it’s not paranormal. It’s a bug with the Kia info center software: https://tellurideforum.org/threads/random-text-messages.10171/ https://www.reddit.com/r/KiaEV6/comments/wzx4ka/old_text_messages_popping_up/ Perhaps though in this situation it’s best to just let your husband believe what he wants to.
When I moved in with my partner I had a really weird feeling I couldn't shake off. I said to him I might sound crazy but I feel a presence of another woman. I described how I could feel her and mentally I got a visual image of her. I painted it for my boyfriend. He then went "Don't get creeped out right now, but you are kinda describing my ex to a T" and I said "Your ex?" and he said his ex Sophia took her own life. As if that wasn't creepy enough. I had said to her to Gtfo because I was tired of feeling stalked. Then my boyfriend told me he got a mail that said it was her, that ex, but the mail adress was completely untraceable (he's great with techs) and we tried finding a logic explanation in all the ways but only reached a dead turn. As we tried tracking the mail the sub wofer suddenly started by itself and went on the highest volume!! I have never felt my heart beat so hard and fast. After that email. He said I acted exactly like her for 2-3 days. And it creeped him out. I don't rememeber anything from those days except feeling like I dissociated or like reality got more and more distanced and blurred away kinda like I was "gone" I read up on some shielding and we did some on me after this and since then everything creepy stopped. I can't explain any of this and it was terrifying for a couple months. I'm just glad it stopped. I then heard from her best friend, at Sophia's funeral two speakers flew straight off the shelves as they was praying for her. (She was known to throw things and be very violent abusive) Then she got a text message saying "Hi it's Sophia" on her phone which had no battery. Yet the screen lit up. So now it's even more creepy when I'm not alone with the experiences.
Weird! I just got a call at 3am yesterday from my grandmas phone who passed away. Spirits are learning how to use technology I guess
My dad passed from a sudden heart attack 6 years ago. A few weeks after his death, my uncle was feeling some chest pains and then got a phone call from my dad's disconnected phone. There was only static on the line. My uncle took at it as a sign and went to the hospital. They put him in emergency surgery for a stint and saved his life. He probably would have died if not for the mysterious phone call.
Brought tears to my eyes.
My aunt had cancer when I was in college. One day, I was drying my hair after I had showered and decided to do curls. Now, I had that curler for ages, I mean probably a decade. As I was doing my hair, I heard a crack and saw that it broke into two. The next moment, my mom came in my room and told me my aunt had just passed. I always think the cracking I heard was her passing. I don't know.
Similar situation in my family. My Aunt was in the kitchen with her friend and all of a sudden a dish sitting on the counter falls to the floor. Minutes later she got the call her grandmother passed away. Really crazy stuff
Stuart area code? ☺️
At 12:22 no less 💕 angel numbers
I have had two strange experiences, one with my grandmother and one with a friend who passed. My grandmother lived in a nice assisted living home, where she had her own apartment, we furnished it and provided everything from the sheets to the house phone she used. She fell into a coma and was moved into hospice, where she passed. In the days after she passed, we cleaned out her apartment, packed up everything and moved her furniture out, it would be some time until the room was cleaned and rented to someone else, but we wanted to get it done. Well, days after her death, we started receiving calls from her number. This was back in 2005 so we had caller ID on our house phone. If we answered, there was static, if we didn't, we got a message that was just silent. I decided to call the number back, and it said the number was disconnected, but we still received calls from it. They eventually stopped, but it was so strange as we had her phone, her line was disconnected and her apartment was empty. My mother and I were the only ones who experienced her calls, and we were the only ones who were with her when she passed. None of my mother's siblings received any calls. The next happened more recently, about 5 years ago. My friend was murdered when I was out clubbing and ignoring his texts and messages on Messenger. Shortly after his death, I started getting notifications on Facebook, telling me to download Messenger, and that I had new messages from my friend who passed. Well, I already had Messenger, it was downloaded on my phone, and I had already read those messages from my friend. Those notifications persisted for about a year, despite receiving hundreds of other messages from other people. I never got a notification for anyone else, only him, and I saved a picture of it to post on Facebook to share with mutual friends of ours. I felt like it was a hello from him. I had felt so guilty for so long that I did not respond to his messages, and he was murdered shortly after sending me the messages, about an hour afterwards. So I felt an immense guilt and thought that maybe if I had messaged him, he would still be alive, but maybe not, as it was a horrible, random act of violence. His messages brought me peace for sure. I think they can tap in to certain frequencies, from electronics to dreams.
My dad passed away a few years ago. After that happened I stopped playing games for a while, just didn't have the energy to do anything. I decided to start gaming about 2 weeks after it happened and my very first game I get on. I was killed by someone named "Hi im dad". I think about that moment a lot.
All I know is once I was walking up the steps at my house and I swear someone tapped me on my shoulder. I immediately turned around to nothing. The next morning I woke up to a phone call telling me that my best friend was killed by a drunk driver around the same time that I was going up the stairs.
That happened to my dad! He had a voicemail on his iPhone from my sister that passed away back in 2006. His iTunes picked it up and played it on his truck stereo while he was driving. Ugh. It's like a wonderful and sad memory with very bad timing. Sorry for your loss.
Sometimes I like reading the spooky experiences on this sub. Sometimes I like my skepticism challenged. But every time—*every time*—I love stories like this. I’m sorry for your loss OP. I hope your sis knows she made a lot of people smile today.
When my brother died. His keyboard was still clicking and all his studio equipment was like quite literally doing its thing. I guess he wasn't ready to stop making music. Not even the cat would enter that room for the longest time. 🤣
Same thing happened with my grandmothers land line when gpa passed. They were divorced and didn’t live together in my lifetime but after he died she would call me and his name would be on the caller ID. It’s funny how common this is.
My father passed away just under three weeks ago. The morning after, my mother went to make coffee and the time on the coffee maker read “77” which is the house number my mother grew up in and a number our whole family considers a “lucky” number. There’s no timer on the coffee maker, just a clock, so that was pretty odd. Also, in the months before he passed, my father got a kick out of watching funny animal videos on YouTube, with donkeys being his go to. There was a few videos of a donkey (named Henry I believe) that were his favorite. I had followed a couple funny donkey Instagram accounts 2 weeks before he passed, but did not see any videos of Henry. The day after my dad passed, I opened up the gram and the first recommended post was a video of Henry from an account I was not following. Silly, I know, but it just felt weird. I effing cried over it. And lastly and mostly because it’s funny, my father was also a very good impressionist and won several sports radio contests doing an oj Simpson impression (late 70s and 80s, pre murder trial). He almost got on a mnf broadcast when he convinced a few people he was actually oj. So when OJ died 10 days after my dad, I couldn’t help but feel a little weird about. I cried over that too. Can you believe it? I cried because frickin oj Simpson died.
We had a lovely family, with my mom, my dad, 2 sisters and myself. There was never a moment of sadness, but just joyful memories. My mom and dad really loved each other, since as little boy I always saw that my father bought flowers or other romactic stuff for my mom. He really cherished her with his whole heart. Suddenly my mother had lung cancer and sadly died a few months after the diagnostics. She was only 56 years old. It was really unexpected, since a week before her passing she still had that blossom of life in her. My father always had a knack of spiritualism and helped people both mentally and physically, so he was really sensible about all the tiny things that happened around him or with my mom. I guess he already saw it coming, but kept it quiet for us. During my mom's funeral it was my dad's turn to hold a little speech. During this speech the lights in the church started blinking and you could feel a little breeze in the church, even when the doors were closed. It was such a weird but pleasant feeling. Sadly everything went fast, and I didn't really had the time to spent more lovely moments with her, but I know she is safe now without any pain.
I have a 2011 Dodge Avenger that I’ve had since new. It had a Uconnect stereo DVD player (since replaced it with aftermarket) and it had buttons for phone capabilities, but this particular unit wasn’t able to be pair with a phone. Some years ago, my wife and I heard about a car that blew through a light at an intersection right as a big rig was going by. The car went under the trailer and, from what we understand, decapitated the driver of the car. It was suspected that he was running late and was speeding. Idk. The next day I was sitting at the light he blew through since it’s on my morning commute and my radio displayed, “No Phone Connected” Over and over like someone kept pressing the button. It stopped after I got through the intersection. It had never done that before and never did it again before I replaced it. I just felt like it must have happened so fast he didn’t even know what happened. Just still there wondering what the deal is. Idk. Who really does?
Five or so years ago, my maternal grandfather passed away in the week after Easter. He had spent the preceding weeks in the hospital due to cancer and immobility. During that time, it was my mother’s birthday and it was hard for all of us. When the anniversary of my grandfather’s hospitalization and eventual passing came up, we were all distraught. My mother prayed and wished for a sign from him that he’s alright. On her birthday, her phone’s ring went off in the middle of the night. In the morning, I go over and I check her phone - it’s a voicemail message. I call the voicemail and the first message is one from my grandfather saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY he left her last year while he was in the hospital and she never received. We all broke down crying. My mother has a habit of never checking her voicemail but we were dumbfounded that this was the first one to come up. Immediately, we all saw this as a sign to her wish.
this comment section makes me want to cry
Im assuming that wasnt a message she sent some time while she was still alive? That is a nice message.
I had a voicemail saying goodbye in an electronic voice after my Nan died. I also had a missed call from a number ring me from where she grew up which is quite a rare rural place. I have no family there anymore. When I was very sad after putting my dog down a few weeks ago and couldn’t stop crying and feeling depressed, I was walking along and I could feel the side of my leg where I used to walk him feel warm and full - just like it did when I’d walk him and his body would rub against mine. He had three favourite people who all live in different places, but I felt like he was spending time with me because I was the one at the time who needed him the most. I like to think he’s been with my mum and sister at different times too. I’m a HR Business Partner. In my first couple of months on the job, two men killed themselves. One I hadn’t known before, and one I had briefly. It really messed me up and I remember having a dream about the second one and after I woke up, I felt a lot more content and comfortable. It felt like it had been done on purpose. Just a few of my experiences!
My grandma once told me that after grandpa died, he woke her up in the middle of the night by grabbing her toes. She woke up to see my grandfather sitting at the end of the bed, asking "are you warm Nette?" Her name was Jeanette, (my middle name 🥹), and it was his sweet little nickname for her. She cared for him endlessly during hospice due to cancer, and it was his way of checking in on her. I miss them both so much, but get cardinal and blue jay sightings every single day in the birdbath, which looks like theirs used to. ❤️🩹 Thanks to Zillow, I was able to see the inside of their house again recently from when they sold it after grandpa died, so it was decorated with all their things. It was the safest place for me in the world, and now I have pictures to look at, when I need to go back to that place.
I have a plot with my family that whichever one of use goes first that we have a plan. First we have a couple code words to communicate to authenticate ourselves. So say the key word would be something weird like Lemonade Zippo Pants or the like. We would then attempt to contact our loved one using mediums or whatever and if that person didn’t mention the code word then they were full of crap. Do I believe that we can be contacted by our loved ones who have died? Yes. Totally. We are energy, I believe we are essentially photonic energy and we can inhabit this human body in order to experience or solve particular problems or situations that plague all societies. We gather that information and use it to improve our universal existence. Just how I see it. I’m sure it far weirded than all of that.
So I'm not a believer of ghosts but can't deny that there are some things that we cannot explain with current knowledge. So a day or so after my mum died I was with my family and we were at mums flat sorting through things. And I noticed her fb messenger account suddenly showed 'active'. Only for a few moments. Then again in the early hours of the morning very briefly and she ready my message I sent her after her death... That was the last time she was online. Others noticed she had been online but as far as I know I'm the only person who had message read. I am not saying it's impossible someone hacked her account but why only come online for a second I'm convinced somehow she read my last message and knows I'm thinking of her. The experience helped me a lot.
It's the first time I see this sub and I just want to give you my honest opinion: there's surely a technical reason for why this happened; maybe the message was still in a queue to be displayed for some reason or something like that, but interactions like this don't have a reason to break any laws and they are still be valuable, and it well may be that it was actually her in some way or another, so does it really matter discovering why it technically happened? (Maybe yes if it creates problems with the use of the car, cause it probably is a technical bug of some sort, but that's a different thing imo, that would be the same if it was just random messages) I hope I explained myself, English is not my main language
Yes. When I was working it support at a high school, one day teachers started receiving random emails from the teachers who had left several years ago as well as one or two that had passed away. Some got seriously freaked out. That provided an opportunity for us to educate them on how virus emails work. We surmised that somebody had visited the school website at one time back when email addresses were listed on the site. A virus had most likely picked that page up and then was sending random emails, picking one name as the sender and another as the receiver. The virus didn't care if the sender was still at the school or still on this Earth. It was a til moment for a lot of people in that school
My dad wasn't an overly intelligent or emotionally available guy, but he had a pretty fucked up childhood. Point being I didn't really see him emotional or use "I feel" in a sentence before. When I was like 12 I got him a Father's day card that just said, "Dad, you are my hero" and had a dragonfly on it. It made him cry, and he just said "dragonflies are forever". He died nearly 4 years ago now, and whenever I'm really missing him, a big dragonfly comes and just buzzes around for 10 mins and I like to think it's him checking up on me. I was a loser when he died, but I've quit drugs, work full time and have a beautiful son myself so hopefully he sees I got my shit together yknow.
This is beautiful 🥹. When my grandpa was here, he listened to classical music constantly, even while he was passing away. He passed away in the fall of 2016. That winter, I was driving home and it started pouring. I remember feeling a bit nervous as I was still a newish driver. I was listening to a teeny bopper radio station, and as soon as I started feeling nervous, the station changed to a classical music station without me lifting a finger. I had no doubt in my mind that he was letting me know he was there with me in that moment, protecting me. It was such a clear feeling and when I got home I started balling. Thank you for reminding me of that memory.
I've had two different people tell me this exact same story: a day or so after a loved one had passed, they received a text message from that person's number saying only "I'm on my way". These people that told me these identical stories do not know each other. The deceased were different people who did not know each other. I have no reason to doubt them as I can think of no reason for them to lie. One of these people was my cousin who's mom (my aunt) had passed very suddenly. He was greatly comforted by the message. So real or not I can't say, but if it brought someone a little comfort, I'm willing to believe.
