In October 1968, Mrs. Don Owens of Ohio received an urgent call for help from a friend. The time of the call was 10:30 P.M.-the exact time he was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

On a Sunday evening, Mr. and Mrs. MacConnell of Arizona received a phone call from a long-lost friend who told them she had just been transferred to a nursing home near them. The conversation lasted 30 minutes. However, when they tried to return her call several days later, they were told she had died that previous Sunday morning-hours before their conversation.

After a troubling dream about a childhood friend, a New Jersey woman named Marie D'Alessio decided to call her, and they chatted for some time. When Marie tried to call her again several days later, she was informed that her friend had died a full six months earlier.

Intrigued by such incidents, D. Scott Rogo and Raymond Bayless, two seasoned parapsychologists, delved into this intriguing phenomenon. Their balanced and objective work revealed that such phone calls might be more common than believed. The authors examined various cases, such as messages received through phones, tapes, and other electrical devices, suggesting that the dead may be seeking a reliable method of inter-dimensional communication. Phone Calls from the Dead adds to the growing body of evidence supporting life after death.
