In October of 1968, a phone rang in a house in Toledo, Ohio. On the other end was a familiar voice, asking for help. At the exact same moment, three hundred miles away, that person was being pronounced dead in a hospital bed. This isn't an isolated story. It's the first entry in a pattern that has repeated for over a century, ordinary people, no séances, no mediums, just a ringing phone... and a voice that shouldn't be there.
Tonight we're going through 6 documented cases, from a 1925 book almost no one has read, to a machine built specifically to talk to spirits. Each case gets stranger than the last, and by the end, you'll understand why researchers still can't agree on what's happening here… As always, hit those lights… Sit back, and enjoy.
