foreign a few summers ago my old phone of two years began ringing I had a new one but my old one rang I had to dig through my closet to even find it a private number was calling the phone I answered it thinking it could have been an old friend who didn't have my new number yet but it was a man with a strange accent I didn't recognize he knew my name knew my story knew I lived Etc I was genuinely worried so I asked him how he got all this information he said we had
met the night before at a house party which I was at one when I was with my friends and I wasn't even drunk I remember the whole night we went back and forth for a few minutes when he told me to meet him down by the river in five minutes and hung up I knew exactly where he meant I'm not usually easily intimidated but this had me panicking I asked my friends who went to the party with me if they were playing a prank and they told me they were being serious about it not being
them I knew they were being genuine too because they all offered to show them to the river with me to see who it was there were five of us that win we pulled up at a distance and slowly started walking to the spot described over the phone it was dark and hard to see anything but on the other side of the riverbank we can all see a white van with tinted windows parked on the side of the road it wasn't on but it was still weird because no one ever parked here there was no reason
to there was nothing nearby we started walking up to it and that's when the engine started and the headlights turned on we all turned running into a field where it couldn't follow us did this have anything to do with the phone call I can't be sure but I personally think it did I recently listed my PS3 for sale on Craigslist it came with a ton of games and I wasn't asking for much so I got calls all the time this time I got a call in the complete dead of night it was like 3 30
a.m when I woke up to my ringtone yeah I would get a lot of calls but I never gotten one this late in the night before I was still half asleep when I picked up the phone immediately this normal sounding guy started talking to me he said he was calling about the PS3 I listed and offered something crazy like five dollars for the whole thing I mumbled something about how that was way too low and went silent for a few seconds when out of nowhere this text-to-speech robotic sounding voice started listing off extremely personal information
way more than what was public on my Craigslist account it listed where I lived the school I went to the car I drove the names of all my family members and a lot of other stuff I sat up panicked and hung up the phone I got an immediate callback from the number but this time I didn't answer just something about the way it switched from a normal sounding guy to all of a sudden a Text-to-Speech voice still freaks me out thankfully nothing else ever happened I have no idea how this guy was able to get
my personal information this happened when I was 13 and Home Alone I got a phone call I was greeted with a man's voice hi I sell security systems are your parents home I replied saying no let's have a security system again I said no because it didn't okay the phone line went dead I quickly realized my mistake and checked the locks on all the doors and windows after I made sure everything was locked I grabbed the kitchen knife and locked myself in my bedroom my bedroom had a window that faced outside the front of the
house I live in a cul-de-sac but since it was a work day none of my neighbors were home still there was a car I didn't recognize parked down the road I called the cops and kept my eyes on it while I waited for them to show up suddenly a man ran out of a bush just in front of our house and towards the car he got in and immediately drove off I saw all of it when police arrived I told them about the man and showed them the bush he was hiding in the Bush was
just under a house's dining room window there were clear marks of someone trying to break into it I was in my early teenage years and it just recently gotten my first phone I got a call from an unknown caller nowadays I'm much more cautious in answering these but back then I didn't fully understand the concept of phones and answered to pretty much anyone that called I picked up and instantly didn't recognize the voice it sounded like an older man I said who is this to which he responded I didn't answer because I thought it was
some kind of joke or prank call he suddenly broke the silence saying I responded with something like nice try but that's not very original just then I began to hear a train going by my house is right next to a set of train tracks and I swear over the phone I could hear the same sound of a train passing in the background as it got closer the sound got louder in the phone I panicked and hung up and further ever happened this was either a huge coincidence or I really was being stunned around 30 years
ago I was lying in bed trying to fall asleep beside my wife who had fallen asleep a few hours before it was lightly raining outside which helped me get to that state of half awake half asleep when the phone on the nightstand just beside me started ringing I slowly sat up and picked up the receiver to determine if it was a fluke or an actual call stuff like that used to happen back then I put the phone to my ear and sat in silence as I listened it was just white noise until eventually I could
make out two voices two female voices they were talking about a murder that had just occurred I remember one of them going on about how they couldn't believe they had really just done it this was followed by the other telling her to quote get out of there before the police arrived they continued talking like this for a while as I just sat there still trying to process what I was hearing suddenly one of the two asked the other if they heard someone else on the line and with that I hung up I still don't know
how something like this could have even happened maybe it was a prank call back before prank calls were even really a thing I told my wife about it the following morning it was my first time staying home alone while my whole family was out at my brother's baseball game I was 13. I was on the phone with a friend of mine when someone beeped in on the other line I told her I'd be right back and clicked over lines I gave a hello there was a laugh and then the words honestly I just shook it
off and hung up thinking it was a prank call our neighborhood was pretty safe and so I figured it had to have been someone just messing with me I resumed talking with my friend when they beeped in again so I again clicked over this time I was met with much more aggression the voice said something about how I shouldn't have hung up on him and how he was coming upstairs suddenly the lights downstairs started flickering and there was a banging under my feet my dog ran to the corner of the living room now our basement
was actually just an area connected to the garage it wasn't finished I heard what sounded like footsteps coming up the garage stairs that led into our kitchen accompanied by yelling I kept trying to hang up and call the cops but every time I tried he was still on the phone I managed to switch back to the line with my friend and told her to get her parents to call the police I sat in a locked bedroom on the main floor horrified quietly crying waiting for them to arrive they finally showed up at which point the
man was gone there was no sign of forced entry though the window on our outside garage door had been broken for months prior and my guess is he used that to get in my family was ultimately skeptical as police couldn't really come up with any solid evidence that this had actually happened we did end up getting a security camera and fixed our garage window not too long after that though but I still don't know if they truly believed me or not [Music] this was back when I still had an old slider phone day I got
a random call asking for some girl named Sarah I didn't even know a Sarah so I told them they had the wrong number to which they hung up without saying another word for the next few months I would get these same calls asking for Sarah maybe once or twice a week sometimes at absurd hours in the night this one time I got a call like usual I said I didn't know Sarah they hung up by this time I went to my contacts and hit redial after I did this I was met with the robotic voice
saying the number did not exist I went back through my call history and tried calling some of the other numbers that had called me with the same result the next time I got a call asking for Sarah I said oh yeah she's right here the person on the other end didn't hang up right away mine instead said and the line went dead after this I started getting calls now from unknown numbers this time there was no voice asking for Sarah it was just silence until I said something and they would hang up the creepiest one
I ever got was the time they didn't hang up right away after I said hello I could hear someone on the other end breathing but not saying anything there was just something really uneasy about all these calls caused me to get a new phone after which I stopped getting the weird calls I still don't know who this Sarah was or why I kept getting calls about her I was home alone by myself in my basement bedroom I was playing games late Into the Night it was like 3 A.M when our House's landline started ringing I
didn't pick it up it rang several more times and finally the voicemail picked up as I was walking up the stairs to finally answer it I would have dismissed it as a prank call if it hadn't been for The Voice it was shaky and raspy it felt real I was frozen in place halfway up the stairs listening to it the voice was trying to get me to pick up the phone saying things like I would regret it if I didn't finally it ended and I prayed that it wouldn't ring again it did the person left
several more voicemails they started on timid and shaky but got more aggressive it continued with if you don't give me one I won I'm going to have to hurt you and I need to get what you owe me I'm coming for you right now at the end of each of them the dial tone went off and when staticy is the voice broke into sobs they kept calling and calling experience truly Disturbed me I mean imagine being home alone in the middle of the night and hearing this voice coming from an upstairs phone nothing ever came
of it though and so I never told anyone else about it
