Katie Couric's haunted phone is keeping her up at night
NEW YORK (AP) - Katie Couric is losing sleep over some odd 911 calls.
New York City police said Thursday they had been called to Couric's Manhattan home several times recently because of 911 calls traced to a phone listed there. The 911 operator hears only static, but police are compelled to answer each call.
The calls come on Tuesdays at 2 a.m., as Couric told an audience at her talk show's taping this week.
Police say they are investigating whether something's wrong with her phone or if Couric is the victim of a high-tech prankster. Couric called New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly to ask advice on what to do, and is awaiting the results of the investigation.
The calls were first reported in a New York Daily News story headlined "Katie's 911 Hell."

My son's phone did that several times. My old cordless did that also. They showed up at our apartment with helicopter flying over. I had to come to the door to see the police officer at 2 am because he wanted to make sure I wasn't being abused.
I remember times when our daughter's phone would call me dozens of times in a row completely on its own. It was really weird!
she is just drunk dialing, fess up Katie! (why doesn't she just buy a new damn phone and see if it fixes the problem?)
My daughter once had a phone that randomly called family members AFTER it was turned off at night! We were happy when she got a new phone.
SHe's just losing it.
