Strange phone call i received towards the end of a trip.

So last night i had enjoyed myself on a hit of nice acid, and i smoked a few big hits of 10x salvia which was probably one of the strangest experiences i have ever had involving being blasted through different dimensions related to the fractal patterns i was seeing... but anyway i'm not going to do a trip report right now.

That night i came home at midnight as i was coming down and messed around on my computer. At one o'clock the phone rings but no one responds when I pick it up. I think nothing of it and my computer becomes bombarded with advertisements, so i try to fix the situation there and then the phone rings again 20 minutes later:

(M=me, G= guy on phone)

M:Hello?
G:Hi is this Alexander Smith?
M:Yes.
G:I'm calling from Washington Gas to let you know that you haven't paid your gas bill in a month.
M:My gas bill?
G:You owe a lot of money.
M:This doesn't make any sense. I'm not even 18 and my parents pay the gas bill. How do I owe money?
G:Look, I'm just paid by the government to call people and it says here that you owe money.
M: The government?
G: Yea, better not mess with them.
M:This is really strange...
G:You better pay us in three to five days or your gas supply will be cut of.
M: Ok...

I was a bit frustrated at this point an assumed he had nothing else to say so i hung up the phone.

3 minutes later the phone rings again.

M:...Hello??
G:Hi, i'm calling to let you know that you haven't payed your Washington Gas bill in over a month?
M:Um didn't you just call me? I was saying how i'm not even 18 and i shouldn't have to pay the gas bill.
G: You mean the guy who hung up?
M:uh.. yea. Man this is really weird.
G: (Silence)
M: Today's just been so bizarre.
G:Really?
M:Hey how old are you?
G:26
M: Um.. do you smoke?
G:Yes. Everyday.
M: Yea? Wellll i'm tripping right now, and i smoked some salvia earlier.
G: We should meet.
M: So is this your full-time job?
G: Yea its my fourth one.
M: Where do you live?
G: (incoherent mumbling)
M: I asked where you live.
G: Oh, i live in Vancouver.
M: Awesome.. wait a minute you're calling from Washington Gas, don't you live in America?
G: Actually i'm in Toronto now.
M: What??
G: The aliens are coming in about 5 minutes.
M: What??
G: Guess how old I am.
M: Didn't you say you were 26? uhhhhmm 130??
G: You are correct.
M: Wait what aliens?
G: Look outside. ( I don't)
G: Don't try and run. We have a van outside.
M: What are you talking about. I don't have anywhere to run to
G: Just don't try and escape.
M: I have nowhere to go...
M: Whats the best course of action for me to take right now?
G: haha lie down on the ground
M: Wait a second... I told you i was using tripping today... how do i know your not just messing with me?
G: Because I'm not the type of person who would do that.
M: Hhahaha why should I believe you.
G: HEHEHEH ( mocking tone) Stop laughing.
M: This shit isn't supposed to be real... Have you ever seen the movie... uh shit i forgot what it was called..
G: Get over it. This is real.
M: Prove it to me.
G: I don't have to. I know that your adress ********* and your parents names are **** and *****.
M: Ok... so you know that...
G: They are coming in 10 seconds...
M: See yea later i guess...
G: Actually, no.
G: 10..9..8..7..( get quieter)..6 ..5... it cuts off.

I didn't see any aliens... but later that night i was hearing these strange oscillating tones....

I thought of it being a prank call but the guy sounded to convincing to come from some high school kid... and i don't know of anyone who hates me enough to go through the effort to call me like this. I was thinking perhaps it was a narc or something.. i really don't no. This morning i had my mom contact Washington Gas and they said they would never call at one in the morning. Though my mom mentioned something about her bill not arriving yet. I dont know what to make of this but it really tripped me out...

 

Wow, that's pretty freaky. Did a number show up on the caller ID or anything from the call? That might help clear things up.

 

Sounds like a clear case of someone just messing with you, no need to get all conspiratorial . . . it wasn't a narc man, they have better things to do unless you are a big time dealer or something. And it wasn't the government, and it wasn't aliens lol.

It was just some kid having fun. You might even know him.

 

yeah I would've assumed it was someone I had been out with earlier wanting to fuck with my head a bit....or some other bored kid

 

not gonna lie this is funny, would have me freaked out perhaps, though i love scaring myself on lucy. plus ivetalked to aliens before so this wouldnt be so far fetch...lol but listen to these guys (hip forums posters) and dont worry...everything will be fine and dandy

 

ye it was def someone messing with you, but that still would have freaked the shit out of me if i was tripping maybe even a little bit if i was sober haha

 

That is really fucking strange. Google the number on your caller id, and see where it came from.

 

he definetly sounded older than anyone in my high school, and i don't understand why they would call my house phone at 1 in the morning. but yea i guess it could have been someone fucking with me. haha it definetly tripped me out though.

 

maybe you imagined the whole thing, including this thread and youll wake up in a couple seconds

 

i dunno dude the acid peak was past and the salvia had definitely worn of... i don't see how it would pick up and create an experience that seemed completely real.

 

So what did the caller id say?

 

Could have been a pair of cats trippin their damn self.

Why is people assuming you have caller id, that seems alien as fuck

 

the phone i used didn't have caller id, and i picked it up before the other phones could figure out the number. usually it needs 3 rings but i always picked it up at the first ring.

 

wait, so this was a house phone, not a cell phone?

 

haha it was just your friends having some fun. dont worry about it, and definitely dont tell any of them u kind of believe it, or you will be getting calls like these daily

 

it didn't sound like any of my freind's at all... in fact i don't believe any of them could pull of a call like this... and i already told my friend's about it one of them thinks it could be real and the others thought it was hilarious. also, no one besides a few friend's actually know the names of my parents. one of them thought that the most likely explanation is that its related to the spyware/advertisements that were bombarding my computer a few minutes before (though its happened a lot this past week) which would explain how he knew my information. something was trying to change my registry keys on the computer also. maybe he's some type of hacker??

 

yes. if one of my friend's was calling for a prank call it definetly would not be on my house phone at one in the morning.

 

uh *69 it.

lol...

maybe someone did call, and you just heard what they were saying differently. Maybe they heard you saying that stuff and they were like "WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

idk. sounds freaky though. but funny

 

no way... i wasn't tripping that hard. my freind said maybe im becoming schizo and imagined the whole thing but there are 2 problems with this:
- i had no idea we get our gas from Washington Gas
- he pronounced my street name completely wrong when telling me my address

 

Wow, at this point I don't even know what to say. No caller ID, no phone number, and it doesn't appear to have happened since. I'd write it off as a freak occurrence though I almost wonder if you didn't fall asleep at your keyboard for a moment and dream the whole encounter. *shrug*
