A reader writes: "An ad for this ring popped into my feed along with lots of gushing comments. While many saw a sentimental symbol of caring, I saw a creepy disembodied pair of arm clinging on for dear life. What's wrong with me?"
Haunted phone
Comedian Cal Wilson recalls the fright of her life. "I'm in Brisbane, tucked up alone in a hotel bed. Out of nowhere, in the dark, my phone lights up and starts blasting a conversation between a small girl and a woman. In the background, there are blaring brass instruments. Both the child and the woman are talking reaaallly slooowlly and there's something weird and treacly about the music. I'm frantically trying to close apps on my phone, but nothing's even open. I can't stop the sound. They're talking about Synaesthesia - Syyyyynaesssssstheeeesia - which normally I'd be all over, but it's 12.20am and I was under the impression I was going to sleep. It's actual minutes, long loud surreal minutes, before l work out it's the Apple podcast app that I never use, which has randomly decided to play a podcast called "It's All in the Mind" at half speed. What I'm saying is, I think my phone is haunted.
