As a grad student and a child of two academics, I don't feel bad saying this: academics are strange. Not always, but probably more than usually. One of the job perks is that you can be eccentric as you want to be (as long as you keep publishing). It's a profession that can provide a haven for smart people with oddly developed social skills.
So I think the best way to resolve this is by giving him a thorough course evaluation detailing the weird in-class behavior. If other people got weird calls from him, mention "attempting to contact students at inappropriate times" or something, otherwise leave it off. Most professors do actually read those things, and he may take a clue and be better in future classes. At the very least, his department chair/tenure/promotion committee will read it. If none of them read it, well, it's just one class, and you'll know to avoid him in the future.
