Witnesses With Proof: Calls from the Dead, Memory Transplants, Children Who Wait Gather round for three campfire stories investigators cannot explain. A dead man's phone calls thirty-five times in twelve hours, guiding rescuers through wreckage to his body. The phone battery should have died. The phone was never found. A heart transplant patient inherits his donor's food cravings, handwriting, and wife. Thirteen years later, he kills himself the same way his donor did. Same method. Same location. Two children knock on a car window asking for a ride home. Their eyes are solid black from edge to edge. They cannot enter without permission. The people who let them in never tell their stories. Three documented cases. Hundreds of witnesses. Zero explanations that hold up under scrutiny. The signal sometimes gets through. The heart sometimes remembers. The door should stay locked. #PhoneCallsFromTheDead #BlackEyedKids #CellularMemory 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 Executive Producers: Jennifer Gentile Gino Gentile AJ Gentile Patreon Members Editors: Ryan Fitzgerald Brandon Snyder Joe Stone Producers: Erik Anderson Haley Burke Jen Gentile Victoria Young Research: Haley Burke AJ Gentile Gino Gentile Jen Gentile Victoria Young Written/Hosted by: AJ Gentile Hecklefish J.

My father came on home the night he died. My mom was laying in bed, and she heard his vehicle pull up, heard his steps coming up the porch and into the house. Then she heard him lay down on the sofa, as was often his habit when he came in late, then he let out a big sigh. This was a little after 3:00 am. The next thing she knew, she was waking up to pounding on the front door, just before 5:00 am, it was law enforcement letting her know he was gone. She had a really hard time believing it at first, because she knew she heard him return home, and it turned out she heard him come home just minutes after he had to have crashed his vehicle and died. She thinks it was so quick, he didn’t realize he was dead, and he finished his journey home that night. He died about a mile from the house.

Today, if anybody calls from the dead, nobody’s going to answer because of spam calls

When I was in first grade, I entered the school one morning on my way to my classroom and passed my beloved kindergarten teacher from the year before in the hallway. She acknowledged me with a smile. When I got to my classroom our teacher asked us to join her on the reading carpet where she proceeded to tell us that Mrs. Walker had passed away the night before. I literally argued with her that I’d just passed her in the hallway. Nobody believed me.

My dad died back in 2012. I had his cell phone with me and a few days after he passed away, as I was talking to my brother about him, the screen saver lit up by itself, illuminating the screen which happened to be a picture of my dad. This was an old flip phone and wasn't the kind that got notifications or things that would cause it to light up like that by itself. So, when this happened, me and my brother just looked at each other after we noticed it. We were both thinking the same thing, wondering if this was our dad somehow reaching out to us one last time. It was very surreal and, for me, gives me credence to these types of phenomena being legit.

My brother passed away about 6 years ago. I started receiving messages from his old phone number several months ago. They would be short messages, like "are you okay?" or "is everything all right?". Of course, eventually I responded. The first couple times I responded I received no response back. Eventually I got a response from someone saying I just got this phone number and I haven't messaged you anything. It turns out my brother's phone number had been out of service all those years and had finally just been recycled to a new person. Verizon's computer system popped out a few messages my brother had sent me the day he passed. Those messages had been bouncing around in Verizon's computer system for years and were probably the last things he said to anyone. It was a crazy feeling, almost like I got to talk to him one last time. I miss you Walter. I'll see you when my chores are through. 🙏

Something like this kind of happened to me. My 5 year old cousin died on a car accident. At the time I was like 7. When we arrived at the funeral, there was an “adios” with a little handprint smudged on the car window from the outside. They all thought it was me, but it wasn’t. The fact it had been written from the outside and we saw it while we were still in the car is crazy. My great grandma showed up on a dream the night she died. I was 9. Dreamt of her carrying me and then falling, I was the abruptly awakened by hearing my parents crying bc they had just been notified of the news. She visited me a couple times after that. Once after a fight with my dad. I was crying laying on my bed and then I felt her hand rub my back, and then I fell asleep almost immediately. I 100% believe that people communicate with us. I have seen too much not to

My brother received a kidney transplant and quite a few of his food preferences changed. His personality changed to more emotional and supportive. We learned later that he had received a woman’s kidney. Very interesting.
