This article appears to be simply a hook for a book of the same name. Is the article about the book or the phenomenon, which is already covered by EVT? Verbal chat 21:34, 7 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure what it's about, as there are no references to the book in the article itself. But it could be possible that it's actually referring to the book, because it is listed as a reference. Netalarm|talk|contribs 02:54, 9 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

It's not promotional. I simply wrote it because it is an unusual and bizarre claimed paranormal pheonomenon that I thought people would be interested in reading about. It just happens that there is only that one person who wrote a book about it. It should not be deleted because there is nothing in either the ghosts or the paranormal article about "phone calls from the dead". I'm restoring the article to the way it originally was. The website, the link to which was taken out of the article, is especially important to be linked to because it has a lot of information about people who have allegedly received these phone calls.

The article electronic voice phenomenon is about supposed message from ghosts recorded on tape recorders. The article doesn't say anything about phone calls from the dead. That is the reason I wrote this article, because I didn't see it mentioned there. Also, these alleged phone calls are much longer than one word or phrase; they supposedly can be fairly long conversations. Keraunos (talk) 04:39, 13 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'm thinking that this doesn't need a page on it's own. Maybe we can merge the contents here to either ghosts or electronic voice phenomenon? What do you think of this proposal? Netalarmtalk 03:07, 14 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
  • The topic seems quite notable and I have cited a couple more sources. It should not be merged yet as most of the comments above seem unaware of these sources which merit further study. There's no rush. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:16, 19 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
