Ha ha, I used to know a few people who were into fetish, S & M etc. One or two were professional dominants, dominatrixes etc.


But would the dominated really be crying when getting this treatment? Aren't they supposed to enjoy it? This is way outside my experience, incidentally.


No idea. I've never really understood masochists. I think they're a tad illogical.

Oh my goodness! I think you might have it! There always seemed something very contrived about it! I used to wonder why you would accept the reverse charge call in the first place and then why just cry at The Master's demands rather than try and explain why you couldn't pay or whatever! It was definitely a co dependant situation with the crying person a willing victim. S&M seems about right!

I think this might qualify as phone weirdness.
A friend rang me today and mentioned that she had been speaking to a mutual friend and it was all normal till she mentioned another friend who recently died rather young.
She said after she mentioned the name the phone went dead and she saw a dark shadow move across the room. She tried to ring back the other friend but the phone was quite dead and it was awhile before the friend was able to ring her.
I spoke to this lady later on and she confirmed what had happened.

That's exactly the sort of phone weirdness we like. Cool

It's a game. The "Master" might enjoy hearing the sub cry. The sub might enjoy playing the game of being a victim on the phone. Umm...not that I'd have any experience of that, of course Embarassed

OK, I'll bow to your superior knowledge. Doesn't sound like much fun, though.

An ex girlfriend is one of three sisters, the youngest of which sadly died in her 30's about seven years ago.

Both she and her other living sister confirm that a short time after the death of their sister that they were on the phone chatting and then all of a sudden, the phone conversation got filled with static. However amid the static, their deceased sister came on the line and said "I'll be alright" before fading away!

These are highly credible, decent people and I have no reason to doubt their story.

My Mother and I seem to have bit of a connection that has gone beyond coincidence so many times that we now think that we are a bit "witchy-woo"!

We live 15 miles apart and speak on the phone most days. I always ring her. I don't ring at the same time every day as I don't work the same hours every day of the week. Mum and Dad go out and about doing what they do.

They go out and the minute they are home I ring and I haven't tried to ring them before! My Dad thinks the house is rigged! It has happened so many times!

Is it possible that my Ma and me are so connected that I know when they are back?

Was talking to the same friend as the last posting yesterday as I'd just come back from being away.
The doorbell rang and I told her to answer it as she wasn't going to bother but there was noone there and noone in sight down the street either.
Wonder if someone is trying to get in touch as at 3am that morning there were 2 loud knocks on our cabin door but no footsteps going away and noone there.

No,if it had been on the balcony door though I might have been a bit freaked out as it's the same ship although not the same floor where those 2 people they never found jumped off a few weeks before.

As soon as I read your post, it sounded strangely familiar ...

I had something very similar happen with my sister many years ago. We were both living in British Columbia, Canada, but I was in Vancouver on the mainland and she was in Victoria on Vancouver Island. On several occasions, but not at the same day of the week or time of day, one or the other of us would dial the phone number of the other and mysteriously find the other person on the other end of the line -- without the phone ringing. In every instance, each of us had both decided at the exact same moment to call the other. It was always very creepy, but I also think it might have had something to do with being particuarly emotionally close at that time.

I should add that I don't know the actual mechanics of how this phone thing could happen. It just seems so crazy.

Did either of you get charged for the calls, do you know..?

Me and my mum do this regularly, often I'll pick up my phone to call or text her and it'll start ringing with her on the other end. Other times when I call her she'll pick up before the first ring is out because she was either in the process of dialling my number or right next to the house phone when it started ringing as she'd just walked in the door (phone is in the hallway).

We're very close though, and very alike. Despite living in different parts of the country I just assume that our brains are tuned to similar stations. It happens so often that I don't even think of it as being anything out of the ordinary.

I never thought to check. It was cheap, back then (almost 20 years ago), to call across the Straits, so I never had to check my phone charges. I suppose it would have been the wise thing to do, but my brain doesn't work that way!
