Scaring yourselves again, are we now??? Translated…
The phone rang, for a bit, my husband and I woke, still half-asleep, to pick up the phone, we’d said, “hello?” a couple of times, and still not heard a single sound from the other end of the lines.
We’d not thought too much about it, and, sleepwalked back into our separate rooms, my youngest who’d stayed up late asked, “did someone answer that?” “It’s fine, after the lunar month of July, I’ll tell you about it then.”, seeing how something was stopping him from talking, I couldn’t help but pressed him, “What is it? Tell me, NOW!”
“From the first of the month, every night around midnight, the phone would ring, it’s been happening, for a couple of days now, once I’d picked it up, but there was, no sound, so, I’d hung up the phones quickly.” I instinctively believed, that it was, a prank call from someone who’s too bored in the summers, and told my son, to unplug the phone cords before he goes to bed.

The very next evening, I’d unplugged the phone cords, and, dialed the house using my cell, to make sure that it didn’t work, then, I went to bed, and, my son, as usual, turned in around midnight, the sound of him opening up his door woke me up, he stared at me, getting up to go to the bathrooms, asked, “Did you really unplug the phones? It’d started ringing again at midnight again!”
I became, totally awake all of a sudden, contemplated, and woke my husband who’s sound asleep up, “The phone started ringing again, but I did, unplug the phone line from the jack.” “Yeah, I got it, nobody was there, don’t think too much, it’s all right.”, my husband, with blood-filled eyes, flipped over, and fell asleep again.
Don’t know where I found my guts, being a scaredy cat usually, I’d, turned on the lights in the living room, started examining the phone. This new set, when we bought it, because the screen is in English, and I’d not had the time, to read the user manuals, I’d just, used it, and, until now, I’d, turned on my laptop, and, looked up what each button was for.

The very next day, I’d tried, maintaining a flattened tone of voice, told my husband, “I’d found out why, the phone is ringing in the middle of the nights.” He’d looked at me, with great interests, “Don’t know when I’d set the alarms accidentally.” “Like I’d told you, how can there be any paranormal thing in the house! When, did you set the alarm? How did you set it to twelve o’clock midnight?”
Toward my husband’s inquiries, I felt embarrassed, a nd I can only reply, “I don’t know! I, don’t know!”, thankfully, these midnight calls are made possible by just me, and I am glad, that lunar July is about to end too!
So, this, is a case, of you, scaring your self, isn’t it, and, because you’d NOT read the user manuals from front to back, you’d not known, that you’d, set the alarm, and, because it’s lunar July, the month when the spirits “come out to play”, that, is why you were, freaked out…………
