DEAD CALLING: They Answered Their Phone But No One Alive Was Calling Them

They answered expecting a familiar voice, but the person calling had been dead for hours, days, or even twenty years — and somehow, they still had something to say.

IN THIS EPISODE: A female serial killer is described as a “sadistic killer” who reveled in her evil actions while pretending to cure people in her sanitarium. (The Horrors of Doctor Hazzard) *** In a very remote part of Mongolia one person made an incredible find. It’s a discovery that could easily turn our understanding of ancient history upside down. (Ancient Mystery In Mongolia) *** What would you do if you saw a flash of light down the hall of a nursing home? (Nursing Home Shuffler) *** When you dream of loved ones who have passed away, do you consider it just a dream – or is that deceased family member reaching out to speak to you? (Dreaming Of Grandmother) *** A college girl leaves campus in her car… never to be seen again. (The Chilling, Unexplained Disappearance of Maura Murray) *** True unexplained stories about prank phone calls and mysterious harassers have always been the bread and butter of horror movies. But what happens when an unnamed creep starts making scary prank calls in real life? What about a loved one calling you from the site of a train crash – where they died moments before calling you? A dead girlfriend sending you a private message on Facebook? Or an email from a deceased friend?
