He ended up going to the hospital because he was getting worse everyday. I was home alone at my granparents house because I used to live with them. I was in my room and my granfathers room was right across from mine. I was sitting in my room reading and then I had heard his bell ringing. I went to see who was ringing it because I thought I was alone in the house, but when I reached the room no one was there. I observed the bell to see maybe it had fallen but it was in the same place where my grandfather had kept it. An hour later the phone had rang and it was my aunt telling me that granfather had passed."

I usually hang about on the "podcast" and "science debates" threads on this forum and don't usually read the "experience" threads. I guess I've just grown up to think more on those terms. My views on all the experiences posted here will no doubt be different from the people who posted them. You and others (so it seems, please correct me if I'm wrong) interpret your experiences in terms of spirit entities that are independent of the mind of the person having the experience and who pass on a message about the death of a loved one to a recipient, in a similar way that a person would. I like to interpret these experiences, not in terms of independent entities, but in terms of a direct interaction between an individual mind and it's environment (which could include other minds).
For example, your above experience looks very like a classic case of ESP. You heard your grandfather's bell ring followed by the phonecall. My view is that, somehow, a direct link formed between your mind and the event of your grandfathers death. It could have been precognition of the upcoming phone call, or it could have been telepathy between your mind and your grandfather's. It's all very interesting.
