From The Register [theregister.co.uk]...

A Lancashire man whose house has a chilling reputation for poltergeist activity claims he is being haunted by text messages from his dead wife...

Jones explained: "Just after Sadie died... I got a missed call on my mobile, but it didn't ring. The call was from my own home number, but there was nobody in the house. Then when I went inside there was a smell like cigarettes which Sadie used to smoke and the smell of her perfume."

Jones said "She always had a mobile with her. We buried her with her phone. There have been messages with words Sadie would say but there's no number."

Is he a crank who wants some attention? Is he just imagining it, and what about all the poltergeist activity experienced by the family years before - did they make it all up, too?

I find stories like this one very spooky and slightly unnerving!

The guy's a nutter. When you are dead you become a lump of meat. That's it! There is nothing left to text. Ghosts and Ghoulies are things conjured up by our minds when we are afraid. There is no proof that anything like this exists other than baseless claims and hearsay.

A reputation that he obviously wants to enchance.

Some text messages sent to my phone took over a week to arrive. Is that spooky or system overload! Methinks the latter.

I think it would be fun to be his cell service provider and send him a spooky bill packed full of roaming charges!

Old Honky - When you die theres more to it.

I grew up in a haunted house, believe me it can be really frightening at times.

If she can manage to text, can't she turn up and scare him to death?!

I am sure when a loved one dies the mind plays games, smelling her perfume, the cigs etc is probably caused by him more conciously noticing what is missing from his life.

I do believe in some forms of the supernatural but texting, I think not. Wonder which operator she used....

Don't suppose he does tours does he. There is a whole industry based on haunted houses in the UK. But then maybe I am being a little too cyncial.

The people who owned the Amityville Horror house right after the murders made a lot of money off it. I understand that no owner since has seen anything unusual there.

[en.wikipedia.org...]

Claim your restaurant or bed-and-breakfast is haunted and lots of free press can be had, especially around Halloween.

The 59-year-old had his house exorcised 12 years ago by Fleetwood Spiritualist Church because he believed he was being haunted by a spirit dubbed 'The Thing.'

Wow! "The Thing" wrote all over his arms and made him dress like a teenager from 1980:

I think the man is getting crazy or he needs attention.

I've lived in a few places where there was "spooky stuff" that was seen by a number of people, independently, without knowing or being told anyone else had "seen" anything.

In fact, in one apartment every single tenant, one after another, had stuff happen who had no knowledge of what had happened before they lived there.

Could they have had the same neighbour ;)

Thin walls. When I lived in an apt I would hear otherworldly sounds when the girl next door had her boyfriend over.

Ahh, this takes the concept of roaming to a whole new level.
