I vaugely remember some info from two unsolved mysteries episode and was hoping someone could fill me in the with the rest of the details.

The first was a segment that involved this couple who were being harassed by some stranger. They would get knocks on the door (or door bell) and no one would be there.. some other stuff which was worse, but I can't remember exactly what. They set up some sting operation to see who was doing it, but weren't able to catch the person (despite the fact the the doorbell rang a couple times... I believe). It was more unusual than I am making it sound

The second was about this guy who was killed in an automobile accident (I think). And a year to do the day that he was killed his mother received this strange phone call that they claimed was from his ghost. They had a recording of the phone call.

Anyhow... all of this info could be wrong, but if anyone can help it would be much appreciated!

Thanks

I don't know about the second one but the first case you're referring to is Bill & Dorothy Wacker. No updates on that one and Bill Wacker unfortunately passed away a few years ago. If you do a search its discussed pretty frequently on the board.

Yes, Bill Wacker passed away in 1999. As far as I know Dorothy Wacker is still alive. She was still alive as of last year anyway. The 2nd one I remember was a guy named Michael but I cant remember his last name. This guy was a recovering alcoholic and hadnt drank for a few months but he went out for a huge party and got drunk and was driving home and crashed into the back of a parked garbage truck. Yes I remember that his mother heard his voice taped on the answering machine. It was only one line, I think it was recorded on something else too or she saw a signal in a book or something like that.

The Wackers segment aired in 1994 I believe, and they had been harassed for a decade at that point. I wonder if they were still being harassed past 1994, odds are that it was pretty likely. Given that Bill died in 1999, if the harassment stopped around that time, the speculations of Bill being the guilty party might be true.

The second case you were talking about is a guy (don't remember his name) he got killed when he hit a parked garbage truck. Apparantly the man was coming home from a party the night before and was a recovering alcoholic who fell off the wagon. His mother feels that she was contacted by him at the store because of signs like with love from your son. She also saw a book about the acient mariner, a nickname that the son gave himself. Also the clocks would blink about the time of his death. There was a call that she had a message of his recorded voice that said "follow me." I think this is the case you are thinking about, I saw it last week on one of my tapes I just don't remember the man's name. I hope this helps.
