strange event

something strange happened this morning. very strange as its the first time this has happened to me before. i know this would probably strike most of you as a ghost story, but i dont't easily get spooked by stuff like this. anyway, here goes...

i have a house phone, which was recently reconnected on saturday, which is placed on my desk. thing is i turned it off, even unplugging the power cable (which i distinctly remember doing) as my streamyx connection is still offline as i felt it pointless to have it powered-on as i rarely take calls on it & only seldom use it to make long-distance calls to home.

as usual was tossing & turning trying to sleep...didn't check the time but i think it was around 3-4am. i know i was not asleep, but likely half-awake when i clearly heard the house phone ring. took me a while to realize it was quite loud & that it was sounded like it was coming from my DISCONNECTED house phone.

first thing that went thru my head was "can't be...its probably from the upstairs room". thing is MY phone kept on ringing by which time i was wide awake & sat up on my bed to stare at the phone.

funny thing is i didn't feel afraid or anything then. so i decided to get up, walk over & hang-up the phone, just to see if it would stop. and it did! didn't think much of it & decided to try & go back to sleep, which i failed as usual.

when i woke up to take a bath, was contemplating what happened, still thinking if it might have been a dream. so after i got dressed & booting up the pc to watch a few minutes of the last samurai, i checked the power extension plug & confirmed that the house phone's power plug was unplugged all along like i remembered! even tho there are battery slots for it, i know i took them out before i shifted.

hmm...

so yea, that's my story. hmmm.................{cue x-files theme music playing}
