EPISODE 94 - The Charles Peck Calls

Charles Peck was a 49-year-old man who tragically lost his life in the 2008 Metrolink train crash in California. This crash occurred on September 12, 2008, when a Metrolink commuter train collided head-on with a freight train near Los Angeles, killing 25 people and injuring over 100 others. Peck's story became widely known not only because of the tragedy but due to a mysterious and eerie event that followed his death.

After the crash, Charles Peck's cell phone continued to make calls to his fiancée, family, and friends for several hours. In total, about 35 calls were made from his phone, even though he had died instantly in the collision. The calls gave his loved ones hope that he might still be alive, but when rescuers finally reached his body, they confirmed that he had not survived the crash. His cell phone was never recovered.

The phenomenon has been described as one of the eerie and unexplained elements of the incident, with various theories suggesting the phone's automated system malfunctioned or that it was a technological glitch. Others see it as something more mysterious or symbolic, particularly given that the calls stopped just before his body was found.

This story has captivated many people and is often cited in discussions about unexplained phenomena related to death and technology.
