A man has recalled the incredible tale of how he called his parents only to find out they thought he’d been dead for six months.  

Callum, called into ZM Radio in New Zealand to relay the mind-blowing yarn, and the station posted the conversation on TikTok, in a clip which has since amassed  1.2 million views.

In the video Callum told the hosts Hayley Sproull, Carl Fletcher and Vaughan Smith that at the time he was living in in Wellington, 270 miles away from his parents’ home in Christchurch.

He said his sisters weren’t getting along with his parents at the time, and out of spite, his older sister ‘actually called my parents up and told them that I’d died’.

According to Callum, she told them he was the victim of a stabbing that had been in the news and that his funeral had already taken place, but his ex-girlfriend’s family didn’t want them there. 

Meanwhile, Callum was ‘busy with work and life’ and didn’t get round to calling his parents, but after six months without speaking to them, he phoned up – only to discover they thought he was dead.

‘My sisters were in a bit of a tiff with my parents at the time and they weren’t really getting along,’ he said. ‘My older sister actually called my parents up and told them that I’d died,’ Callum told the hosts.  

 ‘When I have a tiff with my parents, I don’t tell them one of my siblings is dead,’ said a stunned Vaughan.  

Callum continued to recount the unbelievable saga, saying: ‘My sisters told them I already had the funeral and that my ex-girlfriend’s parents didn’t want them there’.

He claimed that his father was ‘gobsmacked’ and that his mother was ‘in absolute tears’ after his sister told them he was murdered in a stabbing in nearby Porirua that had been in the news.

Both Vaughan and Hayley screamed ‘What?!’ in disbelief – before Carl admitted: ‘I’m going to say this in the nicest possible way Callum but your sister sounds like a crazy b***h’, to which the caller joker responded: ‘She definitely is mate’.

Vaughan continued: ‘Your sister sounds like a top level, red flag, crazy b***h’ before he asked Callum why he didn’t go home and show his face to his gutted parents who thought they’d never get to see their beloved son ever again. 

The caller then claimed that his parents were ‘running around calling all our other family’, to see if they had heard anything. 

None of the extended family could shed any light on the issue, and his parents presumed he was dead. 

Explaining why they accepted the news so readily, Callum said: ‘At that point in time, it wouldn’t have been unpeculiar for me to get stabbed’. 

However, he stressed that he’d never had affiliation with any gangs. 

While everyone was mourning his death, Callum claimed he was just too ‘busy with work and life’ to drop his parents a line, but after a while he wondered why they hadn’t bothered to call him in a while either.

Keen to get to the bottom of it, he finally called them up six months later and the astounded parents simply uttered: ‘You’re alive?’ – and this is the moment Callum knew his sisters had betrayed him.

They were ‘over the moon’ and he went to see them that weekend to reassure them that he was definitely alive. 

Hayley joked: ‘You should tell your parents your sister died’. 

Since the outrageous lie, Callum claimed his parents and sisters are no longer on speaking terms.

Vaughan claimed that Callum’s story was ‘the wildest phone call’ he’d ever received in the 20 years he’d done the show and he was subsequently gifted a caller of the week voucher, $50 to spend on McCafe.

However, the story took yet another turn when a TikTok user claimed to be the caller’s sister and said: ‘As the sister of Callum, I can confirm I never told my parents he was dead’.

A mysterious TikTok account claimed to be Callum’s sister, who Kiwi radio hosts described as ‘a top level, red flag, crazy b***h’, but she denied that this happened, and called her family ‘f****d’

How do you know it was your Callum?’ one asked, to which she explained she recognised his voice. 

Giving her side, she said that nobody, including her sister, partner or parents had heard from him after the Porirua stabbing.

She claimed she then contacted him to check on him and it turned out he was alive and well so she was ‘happy’.

She didn’t seem shocked that her family had allegedly lied about the incident, branding them ‘f****d’.

‘I repsume it is yet another tall story my father has come up with,’ she said, adding that she ‘avoids’ her family these days.
