To any one who is interested in this somewhat esoteric, paranormal subject, if you can somehow manage to get a paperback (the solid cover edition is currently $ 287 on Amazon.com, mainly because of its rarity) second hand or library copy of the following now way out of print book, you may discover that the member's experience while unusual and prompting all sorts of difficult and complex questions about why a spirit needs to use a phone to communicate with the living in the first place, has happened to many others as well from all over the world.

"Phone Calls From The Dead" by D. Scott Rogo & Raymond Bayless First printing hard cover 1979 & 1980 paperback (New English Library/Times Mirror)
