elinorwiseНесколько дней читаю один тред на Реддите, о необычных явлениях, случившихся в реальной жизни, и вечерами иногда жалею, что читала 
Вот это я, пожалуй, сохраню - не столько из-за того, что произошло, сколько из-за того, как рассказано. История очень в кинговском духе, возможно, у него даже есть что-то такое)
Yeah, it happened in the summer of 1998. My cousin was over, spending the night because we were going to play baseball bright and early.
We ate supper and then watched some tv. A commercial came on..it was a Miss Cleo psychic commercial.
Call me now, she says. My cousin and I looked at one another and laughed...Let's call he said, ..here is how that call went:
I dialed the number and the phone rang once and she said..Hello, my chile.
She sounded like she’d been waiting. I immediately got nervous and said I didn’t know why I called. She laughed and said Because the cards already told you to, and you just obeyed.
She says.. Let's see what the cards say. I could hear her shuffling the cards. My cousin is laughing, and I'm laughing to, the call seems harmless and fun still.
She says..The Tower! Don’t panic. Everyone panics. She told me someone in my house was lying, not to hurt me, but to protect themselves from becoming who they already were.
She said the lie would collapse on a Tuesday, and when it did, it would sound like laughter at first. I asked her what I should do and she got really quiet.
You are not supposed to interfere, she says. In that moment, when she said that, all the background noise behind her was gone. It was dead silent.
Hello, she said. My cousin and I got quiet, and we were no longer laughing. I still remember a cold chill that enveloped my whole body.
You want proof, she said. Before I could answer, she said.. Look behind you. I said no, I don't want to, and I didn’t turn around. Good, she said, you learn fast.
She told me to hang up before the minute clicked over. Said the next minute was when people lost things they didn’t realize they were carrying.
I quickly hung up, and my cousin and I sat there trying to figure out what just happened. I remembered what she asked about did I want proof and to turn around. I turn around, and there on the wall behind us is a picture of all us kids.
All my cousins, sisters, and brothers.
Tuesday came. The lie came apart exactly like she said, and it started with a joke. Told to me by my other cousin.
Two days later, I learned that my cousin, who we always called a jokester, was also a thief and was likely going to jail for a long time.
Years later, when the news broke and everyone said Miss Cleo was fake and a fraud, I thought about that phone call.
But here’s the thing, I kept the phone bill. That call wasn’t routed through Florida. It didn’t list a call center. It listed my own area code.
And the timestamp?
One minute before, I picked up the phone.
That freaked me out, Big Time!
That changed my whole thoughts about psychics.
This was High Strangeness!!
