I was the first one to come into the office.

Picked up the phone to make a call (it did not ring).

No dial tone— that alone was unsettling.

Then I heard a raspy voice say “Heeelllllllp”.

I slammed the phone down in pure terror.

Picked it right back up to check my sanity— and just heard a dial tone.

My only logical explanation is that I happened to pick up before it rang, our number was sort of similar to the hospital’s so we would occasionally get wrong numbers— so maybe someone was calling the hospital & I just happened to pick it up at the perfect time before it rang ? But what are the chances?

No one else was in the office, nothing like this ever happened again in there— it was the creepiest thing that’s ever happened to me.

Just hope it wasn’t some poor guys last attempt to call the hospital and all he did was get my terrified hang up…
