Alaska

Sebi Breci was a disc jockey from 9:00 pm to midnight in the Armed Forces Radio Service station in Fairbanks, Alaska. About 35 minutes into his phone-in on the evening of 24 December 1951, he received a call that had nothing to do with music. A woman's voice said she needed help; that her car had stalled some 30 miles southeast of Fairbanks on the Alcan (now the Alaska) Highway and she couldn't get it started. She said she had two children with her. She pleaded that he send a tow-truck before she and her children froze to death.

She hung up before he could ask her 'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS why she had called the station rather than a garage. Breci called a garage in Fairbanks, and the owner promised to go and help. Shortly after the news, the garage mam called up.

He had reached the woman just in time, and had taken her and the children to the Y.M.C.A. Where the car had stalled, there was no telephone for miles. He had started to ask her where she had called from, then got busy with her car and forgot to ask her again. The next day, Breci tried to find the woman, but she had apparently left in the night.

The following Christmas, his last in Fairbanks, Breci received a Christmas card posted in some Montana town with no name or address of sender. Its only words were 'Thank you'. He received similar cards for the next five or six years - from Red Bank, New Jersey; Tampa, Florida; Oklahoma City -then the cards stopped.

A psychologist speculated that the woman's fear for her life and those of her children was so great that somehow she was able to contact Breci telepathically. She was probably listening to the station when her car stopped.
