Hi - Yes
I believe in the spirit world and have had lots of experiences when they have made contact. Please dont believe people who will tell you that its demons and fallen angels - what I think has happened is if your relative crossed over she has wanted to contact you and let you know she is ok. Spirits are energy, and energy cant die. Spirits can contact people they care about and let them know that they are around them without the use of a medium, they can do this by:
Lights: Many times some people can experience flickering of lights in the room, or new light bulbs burn out instantly. More often than not your lights are effected when a spirit spends a lot of time around you or when they want to get your attention.
T.V: Spirits have been known to effectively scramble pictures on the tv set.
Radios: Many clock radios next to loved ones' bed will turn on at different hours, sometimes it is the hour that has some importance to the person who has passed away. Many times a radio with go on when a particularly significant song is on the air.
Music: many times in their own way spirits are able to impress you with a song or you may think about them when a song is played on the radio.
Clocks: A clock will stop at the exact moment the person has passed over or a clock or watch will stop working for no reason.
Telephones and answering machines: After someone dies it is possible to recieve a phone call and no one is on the other side, or you could hear the voice of the person . in some cases it has been recorded. What you have described is very common among those who are willing to pick up the signs - and you are fotrunate your loved one is so strong they were able to let you know they were ok. Rejoice - don't be scared.
Appliances: Appliances have been know to stop or start working at different times when no one is around them.
Other signs are smells or the scent of the person, a favourite perfume, gifts are another sign, a spirit sends gifts and material items but we do not connect that they are from loved ones. Spirits can impress us to buy things or go to shops where things we like are there and we buy them. Animals are also used by the spirit . Many times a spirit being can influence a bird or small animal to come by us to get our attention in some way.
What I sugest is you talk openly to your relative out loud and ask her how they are going , meditation can also help you get in contact and help you all be at peace. There are some good books out there one is Talking to Heaven by James Van Praagh, also others in the new age section of good book shops. you are also more open to these things because you are sad and in tune with your emotions.
Please let me share some of my experiences with you. God bless, and no you are not going crazy and don't freak out - someone you loved made
contact with you because they love you all very much and wanted to let you know they are ok " Everythings ok , I'm ok and your ok" , thats all.
My dad died nearly three years ago. He was very sick with a terminal ilness. The final days of his life he was talking about the fact he wanted to catch up with his mum and his brother also crossed over. And thats all he talked about. All of us kids (there are 6 and we are all adults of varying ages 30 - 40 and all educated to varying degrees). The day before he passed away I felt realy happy and carefree as if I was going on a trip. I was singing a couple of dads favourite songs including a favourite of his called "I am going back to where I come from". I had to remind myself that I was not going anywhere of significance and still I felt light hearted and free. at 7 the next morning mom rang to tell me that dad ghad died at 5.15 that morning. Now I have a clock with a picture of my son as a baby on it on my night stand and it stopped at 5.15. My sister rang me that day and told me when she heard the news that she had thought "poor dad what will become of him? and got a very clear answer back "we have him" in her mind.
The next few months all of us reported that we had had experiences of dad speaking with us in dreams or in my sisters case she actually heard him play his harmonica to her but when she went to investigate it stopped. My pet name that my dad called my was Lucy and when I was in a shopping mall I had this urge to go to the public notices where people advertise things and there was a advert for a lost dog called "hello lucy".
It has been believed for 100's of years that the dead return in spirit and lets us know they are alright in lots of subtle ways. Because spirits are energy they communicate through electricity. I asked dad alound once if you are here make a light globe explode and several went off that week, the house was new and all the globes had been replaced a couple of weeks before.
You need to look out for subtle signs - you might hear a song that your relative liked, or read a poem. THe lyriks of a song might be in your head and they might have some significance. the constant barking of your dog or the agitation of your animals might signal he/she is there in spirit. Spirits communicate through so many signs. Keep a look out. When my dad was cremated I stood at a pond and said a prayer and my partner was squinting and could of sworn he saw a old guy in a hat of the 30's walking by out of the corner of his eye and then it was gone..................my dad wore hats and the clothes he described were what my dad was dressed in at his cremation.............
You might be on the bus and notice something of significance on a bill board. My dad loved the 202 rifle as he had learnt to shoot in the army. After he was cremated my family went to a favourite place and got some fish and chips. The guy called out their number for their order and it was 202....................
In the parapsychology section someone posted a question about ghosts - there are alot of questions posted in Mythology also and 20-30 people share their experiences of contact with the deceased. I have one in my question section which was resolved. Spirits exist and they can make contact to let us know they are ok.

Never say never. But it could have been a a coincidental stray signal in the phone system due to an overheated transistor. The odds are high, of course, but so are the odds against your three way call.
Unless maybe you both heard the voice in your minds, and not actually through the electric circuitry. Internet based calls or pieces of them get mis-directed every minute of the day now.
You were there. You know what you know. Science and technology are not close to having answers in that realm.

This is actually fairly common, and in the paranormal scientific community it is nicknamed "telephoning the dead." It appears that this is a preferred mode of communication for the recently-deceased, and often their "goodbyes" or the "I'm okay" messages are sent to relatives by phone. Sometimes the phone rings and you'll pick it up and get your message, other times they interrupt a call, and now with cell phones we're finding more and more people getting text messages from the dead!
With an experience like this, only you can really tell if it was that loved one or not. It's up to you to decide for yourself what this experience was and what it meant to you.

I don't think the dead can contact us. we (including the scientists) don't have a hint today, what happens to a person after death, do they continue to exist in some other form or not.
About the voice on the phone, I think it could be a practical joke by someone. Maybe someone wanted to frighten u. The dead never speak, it is the living that does the trick.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I do think the dead can contact us, but it's a rare occurence. I think the voice you heard could be your relative - why not? There are many documented cases of contact being made through the telephone and even the computer. EVPs or electronic voice phenomena is becoming more widely known due to the popular ghost hunting/investigating programmes on TV now.
My thinking is to believe it does exist until someone can prove that it *doesn't*.

EVERYONE has there own beliefs about the dead being able to contact us. Some will tell you that once your dead thats it and nothing else. Personally myself i disagree. I believe it IS possable and People contacting you can come in anyway, shape or form. I dont think its anything you should be scared of.
If you honestly feel that she spoke to you then you dont need to ask anyone here really. You have already answered your own question mate.
Your relative will want you to get on with your life. Remembering her ofcourse but also for you not to stop and forget about the living. You said she told you , everythings okay, shes okay and your okay. Basically to me that is her telling you everything will be okay and things will get easier. Dont worry about her.
hope this helps mate

For the non-superstitious
No the dead cannot contact the living
For the Superstitious
oftenly, when family members are deceased, we like to imagine they re still there, or on a trip that will never return. therefore i=our mind creates messages to make us believe they re alive and still talking to us

Actually yes spirits can contact the living because the same thing happened to me, I actually think that spirits that don't leave to where they're supposed to be stay on an astral plain to ensure that they give a message back to there loved ones.

The dead do not use cellphones. They do not like electrical discharges. What you heard was a snippet of someone else's phone call, probably because your local cellphone tower's software is slightly buggy.
Or, if you were using a land line, you're getting a noisy connection with crosstalk. That still happens in some parts of the country.

I don't believe so, but it is possible that you have been contacted by your family member. I suggest that you just pay a little more attention to things you do that involved that relative in any way. Good Luck!
