[Serious]What unexplained memories do you have from your childhood?

This happened to my mom when she was a kid on two separate occasions and she's told me this story probably like 20 times.

One day when she was like 10-13 range early preteen someone called her house and she answered, it was a male voice and he began saying a lot of disturbing/sick shit to her and she instantly hung up and told her mom. A few days later another call and she answers it, same voice but this time he starts listening off all the neighborhood girls my mom and her older sister (13 months older) know/play with. She gets freaked out but instead of hanging up gives the phone to her mom. As soon as my grandmother said something the guy just screamed into the phone and hung up, like a mocking scream or to startle people. Her neighborhood friends also started getting these similar calls but her house was the main target, eventually the guy was calling daily.

My grandparents were divorced at the time and my grandfather was in/out of my mom's life. Next time she talked to him she told him what happened and my grandfather told her to make the guy think she wanted to meet up and he'd get his brothers together and meet him. He had a ton of brothers who were just flat out bad kids growing up, like bad 13 year old coal miners who would punch your head in and were accused of rape kinda bad. Then a few months later before another call happened he died and the phone calls stopped. As soon as he died, my mom said the phone calls stopped.

Fast forward a couple years, she's 17-18 hanging out with two friends in her room and she had a phone in there (which was like a big deal at that time I guess) and a it rang. She answers it, same voice from years ago starts going off again. She hands the phone to a male friend who tries to be intimidating but I guess the guy just hung up or whatever, nothing happened.

She got maybe 2-3 calls again on her room phone and then she starts dating my dad (a really not nice man, very intimidating and always looks furious). One time they were together and the person called and my dad went off on him. The guy never called again. My mom has no idea to this day who possibly could have been doing it.
