Ohio Woman Grateful for Hang-Up Call

SUMMERFORD, Ohio (AP) - A woman says her life was likely saved when she answered a hang-up phone call.

Mary Dhume was watching television Monday night when the phone in the next room rang. She got up to answer it, but there was no one at the other end of the line.

Suddenly, she heard breaking glass and saw her living room wall collapse onto the chair where she'd been sitting.

A pickup truck had missed the curve on the road in front of Dhume's home and smashed into the century-old house. Dhume said she saw the driver run away as she dialed 911.

Three hours later, State Highway Patrol troopers arrested Carlos Cummings, 41, of Mechanicsburg, on a charge of failing to control a vehicle.

``The phone ringing at that particular time? That's one of those things people would never believe,'' Dhume said. ``Maybe it was God calling to tell me to get out of my living room.''

Lol cool story. Why don't they just trace where the call came from though? Now if it's a number they can't trace... now THAT would be interesting.

it was satan, mary still has more evil to do before her daddy calls her home.

But if she'd died, she wouldn't be raving about it being an act of God, would she?

Nope. SHe'd have nothing to say at all.

nope, it's only an act of God when good things happen. when bad things happen...well, that's God too, technically, but we try not to talk about it because that makes God sound like a big meanie head.

after all, can you see the headlines after Hurricane Charley hit? "ACT OF GOD MURDERS INNOCENTS! ACT OF GOD CAUSES TENS OF MILLIONS IN DAMAGES!"

Angels always seem to bring bad tidings. This is one of them. Her life was saved and according to her it was saved by God, which will turn her into a sheep. At the same time her house was ruined. If one believes souls are electrical, it would be possible for the phone to ring because of an electric disturbance caused by the presence of an angel.

Then again, maybe it was an attempt to alter the future. Maybe her future grandchild will save the world --or destroy it! (duh-duh-duh-duh-dum)

please explain your theory.

please explain your theory.

Explain Yours.

Angels are always harbringers of bad news, "Your child will die before being born." etc. That and my own religious beliefs regarding Angels. But think of it, she thinks her life was saved by God, she will become more of a sheep. Other people will be convinced of similar events and follow the same path. A well place 'miracle' can work wonders.

It'd be funny if she got up, answered the phone, and then the thing burst through her wall.

And the person on the other end of the phone says "YOU'VE JUST BEEN PUNK'ED!!"

Perhaps she had a psychic premonition that took the form of an imagined telephone ring that drew her to safety.

how about she gets up, answers the phone, the thing bursts through the wall, and then she hears:

"Mary? Yeah, this is Satan. Now you owe me."

She is happy now, but just give her time.
In a few days she'll get real whiny and say "God, Its nice that you save my life and all, but could you have protected the couch too? That cost me $2000 at Schewels.

How about she gets up, answers the phone, thing blows her wall.

"Hello, this is the Jameson Wall Company offering you..."

its like she never got a wrong number before how many times have you had some one call you and no one be there.

"Would you like to buy new vinyl siding from Sears?" :D
