15. 1-666-666-666 Colorado woman, Jenn Vest, was nursing her
baby when she received what would probably be the strangest call of her life. It was
from the phone number 1-666-666-666. She didn't answer, but afterwards 48 incoming
text messages were delivered to her phone from various numbers. What was everyone so
eager to tell Jenn Vest? Just five letters: S A T A N.
Needless to say, Jenn was frightened out of her wits.
"It really freaked me out, because I was half asleep feeding my son and it woke me
up," she said. She believed, at first, that she'd been dreaming. But when she realized
it was real, she attempted to return the call, but was answered by a prerecorded message:
"this number is no longer in service." It turns out Jenn Vest isn't the only one
who has been contacted via this number. The number has also sent messages to people, claiming
the end of their life is imminent. A guy by the name of Ian Folk said that he
was called by the number and his mother answered. "(The caller) said 'Ian Folk has three
days to live'." Ian later said, "Of course my mom has been freaking out all day
about it. I pushed last call on my phone and it says the number is 666-666-6666. I try
to call it but it isn't a real number."
14. UK Calling According to a book of true ghost stories,
children of the '70s in the UK said there was a number you could phone for free at a
red box payphone that, when answered, led to a terrifying conversation that consisted
of only a woman's crackling monotone voice repeating, "Help me, help me, Susie's
drowning." The mystery number was supposedly a string
of 0s, 1s, and 2s, or simply 20202020, according to some.
The call freaked all the children out…and, yet, they continued to curiously make the
call. Susie never seemed to get the help she needed.
13. 000-000-0000
According to a post on angelsghost.com, one woman received a call from a phantom telephone
number that listed on her phone in all zeroes. The woman had been to her cousin's burial
the day before she received the call. When she saw the mystery number appear on her smartphone,
she handed the phone off to her cousin, because she was frightened. Her cousin heard nothing
but static on the other end. After repeating "hello" several times, she hung up the
phone. In researching the number, the woman discovered
that phone calls from our dearly departed are sometimes dialed from this number.
Depending on how you feel about getting this phone call from a loved one, this could be
a blessing or a curse.
12. Sadako Not to be confused with Sudoku, Sadako is
the name of a vile witch who will curse your very soul.
If you've seen The Ring, you know that once someone watches the haunted VHS, they receive
a phone call from a woman called Sadako. In a scratchy, eerie voice, she curses the viewer,
giving them a specified number of days until they'll meet their end.
I'm not sure why anyone would want to dial up Sadako, themselves, but her phone number
is 090-4444-4444. The haunted phone number will dial through with Japanese country code
+81. When contacted, Sadako will frighten the living daylights out of the caller. According
to some callers, you won't receive The Ring's infamous, "You have seven days," schpeel.
Rather, you'll hear a high-pitched sound that will tingle up and down your spine – a
sound so discomforting that you'll want to hang up.
And you should, as who knows what harm Sadako can do to you through sound and sound, alone.
In fact, some callers claim that despite the fact that Sadako speaks no words at this haunted
number, in dialing it, the caller will still be haunted. Legend has it that anyone who
calls Sadako will be the victim of some unexplainable incident within a week of the call.
11. 1-000-000-0000 It's pretty clear this is a fake number.
After all, it doesn't exist. If you try and call it back, you'll reach no one. But
that doesn't mean that 1-000-000-0000 can't reach you.
As it turns out, some people are reporting the nonexistent phone number has tried to
get a hold of people. On the other end of the line? A man, claiming that you'll pass
away if you don't call fifteen people or more about the message.
Sounds like a chain letter, right? Well, that's exactly what it is. Those haunted chain letters
are at it again! So what happens if you don't follow the
laws of the chain? And what happens if you do?
One victim of the haunted phone call claims to have actually followed through, instead
of just hanging up on the fake number. Leaving the caller on the line so that he could listen,
this person called fifteen of his friends. Once he'd done that he was allowed to speak
to "Operator 4141," another male voice, this one scratchy. The Operator began to speak,
but before he was able, the victim had enough of this and decided to break the chain. The
Operator hung up quickly without another word.
10. The Red Numbers According to email and text message forwards,
a warning was delivered to mobile users in Pakistan not to pick up the following "red
numbers": 7888308001
9316048121 9876266211
9888854137 9876715587
The message stated that these numbers delivered instant brain hemorrhage to the recipient
through a particular high-frequency signal emitted by the caller. The forwarded message
claimed that seven people had passed away already after answering any call from these
numbers, and that the DD News, Aaj Tak (NEWS), and IBN 7 had all reported on incidents.
Authorities have debunked the rumors ever since they were being sent around in 2007…but
could that be a cover-up? What's actually going on here?
The forwards were still circulating in 2010, suggesting that the matter may not be true,
but that it was best to avoid taking calls from these phone numbers as a "precaution."
However, according to the 2010 version of the message, 27 people had passed away by
that point and, again, they said the incidents had been reported by the DD News. As with
any chain email, the author urges the recipient to forward the message to family and friends.
9. 666 An urban myth in America goes that if you
call the number 666, you'll find something sinister on the end of the line.
One anonymous source said, "All of my friends claim to have tried it with varying results…some
say nothing happened, some say they heard eerie music, others say they heard satanic
noises." Another said that she'd received a call
from 666, no area code, just the number. She answered, but the caller was silent. When
she called back, she received the message that her call couldn't be completed as dialed.
She also claims that her phone dialed her boyfriend's number five minutes later. And
although the call didn't register in her call log, it registered in his.
8. 866-445-6580 This so-called government number is said to
flag people. If called, the person on the other end will claim that you're under surveillance
by the government and that they will detain your family.
Interestingly enough, this phone number was set up for a promotion at a NIN concert. At
the concert, USB's were distributed in restrooms. They included a free track, along with the
text file for this strange number. For those who called the number, the frightening
message may have haunted them into living in a state of paranoia for the rest of their
godforsaken life.
7. 1-900-909-FRED If you've ever wanted to call Nightmare
on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger, here's your chance!
This haunted phone number was advertised on TV at the height of Freddy's fandom in the
late 80's. "Call Freddy!" ads scrolled in red letters across the screen.
And believe it or not, children actually called the haunted number. Likely double-dog-daring
each other, kids all over America scared themselves to no end and did, in fact, have nightmares.
If you were to dial the number, you'd get your very own Freddy Krueger horror story
to keep you up at night. Matt, from dinosaurdracula.com recalls his
late-night dial to the hotline: "I can't remember the exact details of
Freddy's message, but I clearly remember the details of that night," he says.
He snuck in a call one night when his parents had left his sister to babysit. He couldn't
resist the TV ads, and he plugged in the number, making what he calls a "huge mistake."
After listening for less than five minutes, he hung up the phone.
In his words: "Suddenly, I was petrified of everything. Every creak, every shadow.
Of course, it didn't help that there was a television special about the Elm Street
movies on at the time. I would've turned it off, but God knows what sorts of monsters
might've grabbed me as I walked across the living room to fetch the remote."
6. 1-900-909-CREEP Like many hotline numbers, this number was
devised to scare the daylights out of children. The number was listed on the bottom of commercial
clips that were frightening enough, in and of themselves, considering the horrible puppets
appearing as monsters in them. According to the commercial, you could call the CREEP number
to talk to ghosts. And no one could keep children away from that temptation. Many did call.
And, years later, they're still frightened.
5. 999-999-9999 A woman wrote into a blog claiming that she'd
received a call from a mysterious number: 999-999-9999. When she returned the call,
she arrived at Nextel directory assistance, who said they couldn't call out. She then
did a Google search for the number and found that the number appeared in a Thai film whose
plot was along the same line as The Ring. Whenever someone called the number, they met
a terrible end. The blogger also googled the number and found
that many others had received calls from the mystery phone number. The blogger even tried
calling the number, but received a recorded message that the call could not be completed
as dialed.
4. 1-900-660-UGLY Apparently, calling this oddly named hotline
as a kid could send you into pure terror. Made to invite kids to scare themselves silly,
a call to the number resulted in screams, quickened pulses, and fear from things known
and unknown. The promo number, also known as "Journey into Terror," cost a whopping
$1.50 for the first minute and $.35 every minute after! No wonder it was so terrifying!
3. 1-207-404-2604 Carrie's calling.
When the famous Stephen King thriller came out, this 207 number was set up to promote
the chilling film. Promos flashed the number at the bottom of the screen during the film
trailer, urging curious kids to "Call Carrie." If you want a curse, you'll get one by calling
this number. Although nothing initially happens on the other end, the caller will receive
three return calls with unpleasant messages. Of course, the calls were programmed, so everyone
who rang up Carrie was treated to the same three horrors: call #1 was earsplitting screaming,
call #2 was chilling singing, and call #3 was spine-tingling whispering.
Although the curse only lasted for three calls, phoning Carrie just might give a child nightmares
for life.
2. (303) 309-0004 Calling Colorado? You're not likely to reach
who you're looking for at the phone number (303)309-0004. Although the area code is from
the Rocky Mountain state, 4Chan groups /b/ and /x/ began investigating the number in
September 2012, after it was posted on Godlike Productions.
The investigation became known as OTP22. What it uncovered was something only top secret
phone numbers are made of… OTP22 involved multiple stages: 1) various
levels of secret codes, 2) various phone numbers, 3) an agent system that was apparently automated,
4) a live message desk, 5) SSTV images, and 6) "drop" locations around the globe.
When 4Chan began to investigate the number, "Agent Codes" were requested. Once the
touch tone was input, a valid code would trigger an AT&T Natural Voice that spoke a string
of 2-digit numbers. When 4Channers were able to decode the number
sequences, they discovered that the numbers relayed GPS coordinates. The coordinates were
classified under various location labels, like "SHIP," "AGENT," "TROOP,"
and the like. A so-called "drop" was discovered in Oregon.
The drop led to the Lake Oswego Library CD, which provided 4Channers new information to
decode, this time in the form of letters, separated into 5-letter groups, provided in
the NATO alphabet. This led to another "drop" in Maine, which
led to yet another one in Minnesota. This Minnesota drop was just a phone number on
an index card in a plastic bag. The number? 709 700 0122.
Once the 709 number was called, a new type of code in the form of tones and chirps led
to the coordinates to six more drops. This time, they were international.
Rhode Island, California, Finland, Chicago, Bellwood, and Poland.
Those in Finland, Rhode Island, and California presented 4Channers with sealed bags full
of odd metal parts. The ones in Chicago and Bellwood turned up a strip of paper, reading
"97 BA 16041-97 BA 16241," along with a broken cd. What were they? Clues?
A new problem arose: the coordinates system was shut down almost exactly when the 709
number had been discovered. Now, when the 303 number was called, horn-like
noises were heard. The horns were discovered to be yet another code. Once they were decoded,
another phone number was unveiled. This number was Polish. When called, the "Bell Agent
Code" was requested which would "reactivate the system." This is where the Bellwood
number on the strip of paper came into play: "97BA16041." Once 4Chan entered in the
Bell Agent Code, they were told the system would soon be reactivated.
The phone numbers were then altered to recordings of odd encrypted conversations, after which
the 303 number returned to the initial agent system. The past codes were not valid, but
the code "16041" emitted a binary tone. Then "Agent Bourges" was welcomed back,
but was told that the assignment was cancelled. Assignment? What assignment?
The agent system had been upgraded with a directory that provided agent codes to access
"Upload," "Agent Instructions," and "AiBourges." 4Chan is watching these closely
to see if there are any further developments. The "Message Desk" is one of these developments.
This can be accessed via #16044 or 16244, and occasionally the system forwards directly
to it. The Message Desk is live, and a real person asks for a number. Once provided a
number, the Message Desk mystery man provides another number, the name of a town, and sometimes
other information. Since its discovery, the Message Desk has been open for several hours
each night. In the course of this investigations, some
4Channers have received packages to their home addresses, including PINK book, along
with component parts. They've also received the "keep alive code," which enables them
to question the Main Desk and get instant responses through the PM.
If you want a maddening run-around, call the 303 number, and you'll become part of this
wretched curse of secret agents and drop locations.

1.0888-888-888 Mobitel, a Bulgarian mobile phone company,
is the origin of a haunted phone number tale that will make your skin crawl. Mobitel issued
(+359)0888-888-888 to the company CEO, Vladimir Grashnov, in early 2000. The mobile number
is strange, sure, but nothing to be afraid of…that is until you learn that every single
Mobitel user that's ever been issued the phone number has passed away unexpectedly.
Often in non-natural ways. Grashnov was only 48-years-old when he was
issued the phone number. Within less than a year, he had passed. A highly aggressive
cancer took the executive. Prior to, he'd been in good health. The sudden passing led
to gossip that the cancer had sprung from radioactive materials used to take his life.
The alleged culprit? A business rival. Scoff at this gossip if you will, but attempts
of this nature are not all that unusual in Eastern Europe and Russia. However, Grashnov
had no known enemies and, rather, was commended for being extremely honest in business. The
connection was only made once there were additional abrupt victims of the haunted phone number.
Who was the next poor soul to own it? 31-year-old Konstantin Dimitrov, a Bulgarian mob boss.
He traveled with his model girlfriend to the Netherlands in 2003 to deal with his purported
£500 million drug smuggling empire there. The couple was in the middle of dinner at
a high-class Amsterdam restaurant when a man came in and took Dimitrov's life. Supposedly,
Dimitrov was holding the phone when it happened. Of course, most point to Dimitrov's rivals,
the Russians, as the real culprits. But others believe the haunted phone number striked again.
All terrible things come in threes, and the last victim caused by this haunted phone number
makes this tale twice as chilling. Real estate agent, Konstantin Dishliev, was the last recipient
of the haunted phone number. Although it's surmised that Dimitrov had enemies, it's
difficult not to blame the haunted phone number on the fact that Dishliev also had his life
taken in an Indian restaurant in Sophia, Bulgaria. Isn't it just too coincidental that all
three men who owned this number are now gone from this life?
The phone company indefinitely suspended the haunted phone number after Dishliev. If you
call the number now, you'll receive a prerecorded message that informs you the call is "outside
network coverage." Mobitel will never tell why, as they released the following statement
on the matter: "We have no comment to make. We won't discuss individual numbers."
Is this phone number haunted? No comment.
