ok i came across this whats your thoughts its from an article from ghost thoery


Los Angeles Metrolink crash of September 2008

This month’s horrible Metrolink train crash brought upon a dark mood to Angelinos. From the country’s economic uncertainties, to the dim light of hope with the elections coming up, us Angelinos felt as if things could not get any worse.

The Daily Breeze has this interesting story on one of the Metrolink’s victim. Chuck Peck was among the 25 dead in the Los Angeles Metrolink crash on the 12th of September 2008. His family, knowing that Chuck was on the train that faithful evening, kept getting calls from his cell phone. No voice was on the other side of the line, no audible voices. All they could hear was static on the other side of the line.

Throughout the night, Chuck’s sons, brother, stepmother, sister and fiancee all got the phone calls after the crash had been reported. Chuck’s son believed his dad was alive and trying to contact them. Chuck’s son CJ kept yelling into the phone: “We love you, Hang in there. They are coming to get you.“‘

It was not until 3:28 a.m that the phone calls stopped. None of the family members got any more phone calls. One hour later, Los Angeles firefighters recovered the remains of Chuck Peck. Coroner’s officials told Peck’s family members that he was killed instantly. His body showed no sign that he lived even for a short time after the crash.

Chuck Peck

Could this have been a phone call from the other side? or is it just technology gone haywire? For years, the “phone calls from the dead” phenomenon has been a thing of urban legends. Paranormal cases that involve ghostly phone calls are just reports, never official recordings or actual proof that they were indeed made from the departed. One thing is for certain, the calls were made to loved ones and the calls were made all night up until the discovery of the body. To all those on board that doomed train, rest in peace.

It could have been the last dialled number on his phone, and whatever way the phone was damaged in the crash caused this to happed.

You know, like when someone sits on their phone and it rings over and over.

Some more on this story:
... that I received a blank text message from a friend a few years ago. I tried calling him, but the call immediatly went to his voice mail.

When I saw him the next day, I asked him why he sent me a blank text. He said that he didn't. He dropped his cellphone and broke it... but that when he dropped the phone, it sent a blank text to everyone in his phone's address book.

It was equipment malfunction caused by the impact.

It happens.

Calls from Beyond


Claim: A man's cell phone placed calls to his loved ones after his demise.

Status: True.

Origins: On 12 September 2008 at 4:22 p.m. in California's San Fernando Valley, a commuter train carrying 225 riders collided at a combined speed of 83 mph with a freight train run by a crew of three. In what came to be known as the Chatsworth crash, 135 people were injured (of which 87 were taken to hospitals, 46 in critical condition), and 25 died.

One of the deceased was 49-year-old Charles E. Peck, a customer service agent for Delta Air Lines at Salt Lake City International Airport. He had come to Los Angeles for a job interview at Van Nuys Airport because gaining work in the Golden State would have allowed him to wed his fianceé, Andrea Katz of Westlake Village. (The pair had put off getting hitched until they were living in the same state.) This would have been his second marriage; Peck had three grown children from a previous
union.

His fianceé heard about the crash from a news report on the radio as she was driving to the train station to pick up her intended. Peck's parents and siblings (who live in the Los Angeles area) joined her.

Peck's body was recovered from the wreckage 12 hours after the accident. Yet for the first eleven of those hours, his cell phone placed call after call to his loved ones, calling his son, his brother, his stepmother, his sister, and his fianceé. In all, his various family members received 35 calls from his cell phone through that long night. When they answered, all they heard was static; when they called back, their calls went straight to voice mail. But the calls gave them hope that the man they loved was still alive, just trapped somewhere in the wreckage.

The barrage of calls prompted search crews to trace the whereabouts of the phone through its signal and to once again look through what was left of the first train, the location the calls were coming from. The calls searchers finally found Peck's body about an hour after the calls from his cell phone stopped.

Charles Peck had died on impact. Yet long past his death, his cell phone had continued to reach out to many of those he cared most about, and ultimately led rescuers to his mortal remains. (As far as investigators revealed, they never found Peck's cell phone.)

Ironically (and tragically), another cell phone may have played a pivotal role in causing the Chatsworth crash, the deadliest in Metrolink's history. Preliminary investigation revealed the engineer running the commuter train had failed to heed a red signal light, instead impelling his train onto a single track where a Union Pacific freight train coming the opposite direction had been given the right of way. According to teens cooperating with the investigation, they had been exchanging text messages with that engineer as the train left the station and received a final text message from him just before the collision (22 seconds before impact, according to the preliminary timeline worked out by the National Transportation Safety Board).

And a different story:
""My mum was clearing some cupboards out today, when she came across my dads old mobile phone. It had laid in the bottom of a drawer for over a year and she decided she would put it in the rubbish, besides it hadnt even been charged in all that time, she put it in the black bag along with other rubbish and old clothing.

A while later, mum heard a buzzing tone, she started looking around for where the sound was coming from, eventually her attention was drawn to the bag of rubbish, it was dads mobile going off, she put her hand inside to retrieve it and when she looked at the screen it simply read..... ' Lee '

Lee is my brother, it is his birthday today

i'm all for communicating with the dead but i have to say this is due to equipment malfunction..

kshiel

I heard of this happening in the 9/11 case on tv a while ago, of course it was due to the phone traffic that the messages or calls turned up later on the recivers phone.

What about people who claim to see the person/s before they hear about there death or that they are seriously ill in hospital but dont actually die in a location they know that person couldn't or wasn't in. Whats peoples views on that.??

???

Anyone bother to check the phone records? That would quickly clear it up!!!

Yup Im with the phone malfunction theory. Particularly as it stopped when the body was found. Whatever was pressing on the phone or causing it to dial was stopped when the body was moved.

It must have been eerie for the family though.

It brings up a little dilemma. Would you have the heart to tell them otherwise ?

Theres a similar story in Allison DuBois book We Are Their Heaven, a woman got a txt from her son 3 days after he died. She tried to get the phone ppl to trace it and they couldn't. It happened again after 9 months when her father died.
