I heard a story a few years ago of a mountain climber who was stranded and dying managing to get a call through to his wife to say goodbye. Now that must have been heart wrenching for them both.

it does sound creepy but I imagine with the accident something happened in the structure and maybe like a short or something that just kept on redialing....weird though!

do a search on his name and you will find a ton of sources that covered the story that are all legit sites and sources.. no one knows what the deal is but obviously very weird

that's really creepy! how could that happen? I think that the man's cellphone was stolen in that accident and maybe the thief was making sick calls to the family members.. that's horrible. I don't think that I can handle something like that if one of my beloved ones suffer an accident like that..

I don't think that is was real. It may be some thing like public stunt to get the people for the media. Or may be someone when rescuing them, a odd person may took the phone and make the calls. But it was very bad to hear about the train crash. Have a nice time. Thank you.

somethings are just unexplainable.. but yeah it could have been a prank.. but weirder things have happened and i have heard a lot of stories about calls from beyond etc

I find it very sad but I am glad they talked to him, it almost looks like he called to be found.

im glad it gave them comfort.. i dont know if that would make me feel better or not because i would have all that false hope thinking he was alive to dial it
