    A real-life story as astonishing as any dramatic movie plot unravelled on New Zealand’s ZM Radio show when a man named Callum shared a mind-boggling narrative that left both the hosts and listeners utterly astonished. Callum’s story commenced with a family dispute, which took an incredible turn, as his own sisters went to the extent of declaring him “dead" in an effort to gain an upper hand during an argument.

    In a resurfaced video, radio hosts Carl Fletcher, Vaughan Smith and Hayley Sproull were completely shocked by the unbelievable story they heard. The story began during a random segment on ZM Radio, where listeners were asked if they had ever been mistakenly thought to be dead. That’s when Callum, a man who was presumed dead, shared his experience. Callum calmly said, “Yes, I definitely have been presumed dead, mate," as he explained his shocking ordeal.

    Callum explained that his sisters were having a disagreement with their parents at that time, and they weren’t getting along, a Ladbible report said. He mentioned that he was living in Wellington, while his sisters were in Christchurch. Shockingly, his older sister called their parents and falsely told them that he had passed away.

    What made this deception even more shocking was the grisly detail his sisters fabricated: they claimed Callum had been stabbed to death. Host Vaughan Smith couldn’t hide his astonishment as he probed for more information, exclaiming, “Wait wait wait, you were murdered? You’re not dead in an accident by your own hand, someone murdered you! This is the wildest phone call we’ve ever had."

    Callum, remarkably composed considering the absurdity of his story, responded, “I was not in some gangs, but I will say, at the point in time, it wouldn’t have been un-peculiar for me to get stabbed."

    The moment of realization struck Callum when he realised his parents had been kept in the dark about his well-being for months. He recounted that he hadn’t heard from his parents in a while, and wondered what was going on. He decided to give them a call and their reaction was priceless. “You’re alive?", they had said. He added that his mother was in tears and his father was utterly astonished, exclaiming, “What the f**k is going on?"

    Co-host Vaughan Smith, not one to mince words, summed up the situation bluntly: “Your sister sounds like a top-level, red flag, crazy b***h!"

      To add a further layer of deception, Callum’s sisters had concocted a story about a funeral having already taken place. Callum revealed that his sisters told their parents that the funeral had already happened, and they hadn’t been invited because his ex-girlfriend’s mum and dad “didn’t want them there."

      The fallout from this elaborate ruse has been devastating for the family, resulting in a complete breakdown of the relationship between Callum’s parents and his sisters, he revealed.
