Grandma's Last Call?

My grandmother died and was buried in Ohio. We barely made it to
the funeral. Here is a copy of the letter I wrote to my family about our
encounter.
Greetings Kin,
Buckle your seat belts and get ready to take a trip to the twilight
zone.
I was very intrigued with the premise for the movie
White Noise
and started checking out a bunch of Web sites concerning EVP (you can do
your own research) and scanned a couple of articles that talked about
phone calls from the deceased (again, you can do your own research). One
stated that these calls sometimes start off with a series of hang up
calls or no one is on the line when the phone is answered. I kind of
just blew it off because I was more interested in the EVP and maybe
taking the kids out for a ghost hunting adventure.
This past weekend, Debbie and I fielded about 5 "no-one's there"
calls. On the last call I was a little upset that we were getting these
calls in the first place and second, I remembered the article about the
calls. I decided to call the number back. Looking it up on caller ID, I
dialed the number - 817-XXX-XXX. Stunned and a little spooked at first
when I got the recording that the number I had reached had been
"disconnected and was no longer in service." Then I went to Yahoo and
checked the number through the reverse directory to maybe find out who
previously had the number since it usually takes a while to clear a
listing. Yahoo said the number had no listing.
Well, maybe it's a coincidence. And maybe it's not. Maybe grandma
was trying to call me since I was the one that usually wasn't there and
she just wanted to make sure I got the message. Until someone finally
answers, I'll guess we'll never know. However, if I ever hear a voice
say "Well hi, Bobby" -- I'll tell grandma you said hello.
