Situation: At about 11:45 at night last night my wife got a call from her parents landline phone. She missed the call, so she called back and got no answer. Long story short: The one house phone her parents have they haven't called her in months (she has changed her number since the last time they called her with it), and it's broken.
Is there some sort of telephonic phenomenon that would cause this?

But, we have had storms that screwed up the phone lines and would cause me to "call" someone and them to "call" me, so both of our phones would ring as if we got called, we'd both answer and think the other person had made the call, etc. Something along those lines could have happened here. That would have caused your phone to ring and her parents phone would have tried to, but with a broken phone it wouldn't have. It's a pretty strange coincidence for that to manage to put the call through to someone you actually know, but it's possible.
Shrug, probably a short, Crossed line who knows.
Yes, there is. Wireless handsets can do it as their battery whittles down. They will dial random numbers occasionally. Best to be removing the battery of a broken unit and throwing it out, not serving any purpose being broken, is it?
