What Happens When You Call These Haunted Phone Numbers?

Discover the eerie messages, cryptic recordings, and spine-chilling voicemails waiting on the other end of the internet's most notorious phone numbers - some still active, others forever silenced.

IN THIS EPISODE: Shortly after Glen MacPherson started hearing a strange humming noise, he created the World Hum and Database Project so people around the world could document their own experiences. And he received a lot of stories from people hearing a strange humming sound in their towns. (Cracking The Mystery of the ‘Worldwide Hum’) *** Plus, we’ll dial a few freaky, creepy, haunted, and cursed phone numbers and listen in to what some people say scared them half to death. (Creepy Phone Numbers)
