The Phone in Room 410 Was Unplugged for Months. At 3 AM, It Rang.

The phone in room 410 had been unplugged for five months. At three in the morning, through a propped-open door, he heard it ring. A night auditor at a big three-tower hotel kept finding calls on the overnight call log that he never took, from guests who were asleep and rooms nobody was in. The phone company always said the same thing. Then the log showed a three-minute call from a room on a closed floor, from a phone that wasn't plugged into anything. This is the second account in the Night Shift series: real jobs, overnight hours, one account at a time. Every story here is an anonymized account, retold as close to the way it was told to me as I could keep it. If you've ever worked a hotel desk, or any job where the printout didn't match what happened, tell me in the comments. Names and places changed, same as this one. This account has been anonymized — names, dates, and identifying details changed at the source's request. Presented as told, not as documented fact. #NightShift #ScaryStories #TrueScaryStories
