So yesterday the phone rang. I picked up the receiver but silence. Just some static at the other end. I wait just a little and then I hear this foreign-sounding fella saying '15 years'. So i say '15 years of what?'. He goes '15 years'. I go '15 years of what?'. '15 years'. This goes back and forth for about 20 minutes. Finally I say '15 years of what?' and he says ' ... of blessing, I guess'. So I'm thinking - good. And then he asks 'How's the weather in London?'. 'Fine', I say. 'What country are you calling from?'. And the he just says 'Country?.....hahaha' and he laught like that was a really stupid question and then hangs up.

That's especially creepy, broken_part. 20 minutes?!?

Sounds like code to me. Do you have caller ID? If it were me I'd probably be my usual paranoid self and call the authorities.

Wow! I recently had something very similar happen to me!

Last Monday the phone rang so I picked it up and said "hello?" After a brief (and eery) silence, I said "hello?" again then finally, after a strange clicking noise, a foreign sounding fella said "hello?" back. He then asked if this was "Mr Homer", and "would I be interested in receiving the LA times at a substantial savings off of the news stand price, delivered nightly right to my home?" I said "No thanks. I don't read the paper much." He then asked "Well, where do you get your news from?" I told him "the news doesn't interest me much these days, but occaisionally I check some internet news resources." He then asked if I would "at least be interested in recieving the LA Times on Sunday only, delivered right to my door, also for a substantial savings off the news stand price?" I again (and this time very firmly), said "no!" He responded by stating that if I would "at least be willing to recieve the LA Times every Sunday, delivered right to my door, at a substantial savings off of the all ready low newstand price", he would send me a free gift. After a slight pause, I asked what the free gift was. He told me it was a free La Times piggy bank. I asked him what it was made of and he said "plastic". Well, as I'm sure you have figured out, I now receive the LA Times every Sunday, at a substantial savings off of the news stand price, and am anxiously awaiting my official issue (in limited quantities while supplies last) LA Times plastic piggy bank.

So, I guess you could say I know where you're coming from, broken part.

I've had some bizarre calls before. Around 5 a.m. one night (morning?) our phone rang. My roommate and I were awake still and I answered it. This fucked up sounding squeaky voice came over the line, but it sounded like a speak that me and a friend of mine do to each other sometimes, so I just responded by speaking back all weird. Then I realized that it wasn't my friend. The voice kept coming back all strange. My roommate got on the phone and talked with the weirdness for a while. Eventually he said, "Okay, whoever this is, this is really weird. You're starting to scare ME, and I don't scare easily. You're weird to ME." It went on for an eternity, like an hour. The name and number came up on our caller ID. The name was Jason Bradley. My roommate who experienced this with me was named Bradley. He's had a few instances since where he's been introduced to someone and they say, "Hi, I'm Jason" and my roommate says "Bradley." It always weirds him out. In fact, his current roommates name is Jason. Maybe it was he and his roommate from now or sometime in the near future trying to call him a few years ago and warn him of something. Like to not eat so much fiber so he won't pass tons of gas all the time. I don't know.

Has anyone ever picked up anyone else's phone conversation, by for example standing in a specific spot?

A couple friends and I heard waaaayyyyy too much of a conversation between my neighbour and some foreign guy she had never met before but was going to pick up at the airport. Somehow we couldn't hang up though...
