Well-known RTE reporter Fergal Bowers has said he will "alert the relevant authorities" after receiving a "creepy" late night voice message.
The health correspondent shared the unusual message to his Twitter followers on Saturday morning asking did anyone recognise the voice.
Mr Bowers said: "Does anyone recognise this voice? I got this message just after 3.30 am this morning via No Phone ID. I will be alerting the relevant authorities."
Adding: "It certainly sounds like someone who has a professionally-trained voice. I know the signs, given my job, as I was taught too."
The message, labelled "creepy" by some followers, begins with a female voice saying "It's 3:33 in the morning", they add "we are giving you a call, from the bones".
The message lasts no longer than 30 seconds.
Many followers empathised with the reporter and suggested he take the information to the gardai.
One said: "That's so creepy. Sounds like someone who does voice overs. Gone are the days of ringing someone after a night out to ask 'are you up'."
Another added: "Sorry you’re subjected to this kind of nuisance behaviour. Really appreciate your clear eyed journalism and particularly the most recent article above. Many thanks for the continued hard work."
Fergal Bowers has become one of the most recognisable faces in Ireland in the last 18 months reporting on TV, radio and online from NPHET briefings and all big Covid updates in Ireland.
