Encounters with entities from the "other side" have occurred for as long as humanity has existed. However, as technology has advanced over the years, so have the methods these entities use to communicate with us. We discuss the unusual topic of telephone calls from the dead and explore how such encounters have evolved, from strange Morse code and telegraph messages to peculiar TV transmissions.
