True story: my dad passed in 2011 in India. He used to have a cell phone that went in disuse months before, when he was bedridden, and then nobody remembered it and it got stashed away. A few months later my brother came across it, and he wondered if it still worked. This was a prepaid 'feature' phone with just basic texting capability (for which he had paid extra), and my brother wanted to check if it had any international texting minutes left. So he sends me a text to test it out. Of course, he does not sign his name below, and I receive this:
Dad : "Wanted to check if I can text you from here. Let me know if you receive this"
And of course this was middle of the night for me, and when I first read that message, I literally got goose-bumps D:. Gotta tell you, for that full minute, I almost started believing in ghosts... My wife woke up, looked at it, and said, "your brother is playing with you", and that broke the spell :wub:
My brother says the wording was innocent, and he did not realize it would sound as if Dad was reaching out from wherever, but I have my doubts...
