The Dormitory's Phantom Phone Call

The cold air of the old dormitory whispered secrets as the moon cast its pale light through the broken windows. It was the night of the full moon, and the students of Room 314 had gathered around their rickety wooden table, their faces illuminated by the flickering glow of their smartphones. The phone calls had started a week ago, at random hours, always with a single, chilling message: "The past is never dead."

Jenny, the dorm's resident assistant, was the first to receive the call. She had been working late in the library, surrounded by stacks of textbooks and papers, when the phone rang. The voice was male, deep and unsettling, "This place is haunted, Jenny. You need to leave."

Confused and scared, Jenny had reported the incident to the university's security, but they had dismissed it as a prank. It wasn't until the calls became more frequent and personal that the students began to take notice.

Tom, a biology major, was next to receive the call. "Tom, you're not safe here. You need to leave. Now." He had been working on a research project about the dormitory's history, unaware of the sinister truth that lay beneath the surface.

As the calls continued, the students grew more and more desperate. They started to document the calls, hoping to find a pattern or a clue that would lead them to the source of the haunting. The messages were always cryptic, but they seemed to be getting more personal, as if the caller knew them intimately.

One night, while reviewing the calls, they noticed a pattern. The calls were always coming from the same number, but it was a number that didn't exist. It was a local number, but no one in the dormitory had it. The students decided to trace the number, hoping to find the caller's identity.

They discovered that the number had been registered to a former dormitory resident, a student named Michael. He had disappeared ten years ago, under mysterious circumstances. His disappearance had been the subject of many rumors, but no one had ever found a trace of him.

The students decided to investigate Michael's past. They visited the local library, where they found an old newspaper article about Michael. It detailed the events of the night he vanished. He had been seen arguing with another student, and then he had simply disappeared. The article mentioned that the last place he was seen was in the old dormitory, Room 314.

The students were convinced that Michael was the source of the phone calls. They decided to visit Room 314, hoping to find something that would explain the haunting. They entered the room cautiously, their footsteps echoing through the empty space. The room was dark and musty, filled with dust and cobwebs. The air was thick with the scent of decay.

As they searched the room, they found a hidden compartment behind the old wooden desk. Inside, they discovered a journal belonging to Michael. The journal was filled with entries about his time in the dormitory, his struggles, and his fears. It was clear that he had been haunted by something, something that had driven him to the brink of madness.

The journal also mentioned a secret room in the dormitory, a room that no one knew about. The students decided to search for the room. They spent hours searching through the old dormitory, looking for clues, until they found a hidden door behind a loose brick in the wall.

The door led to a narrow staircase that descended into darkness. The students descended cautiously, their hearts pounding in their chests. At the bottom of the staircase, they found a small, dimly lit room. The room was filled with old photographs, letters, and other personal items.

As they searched the room, they found a photograph of Michael with another student, a girl. The girl was smiling, but there was a shadowy figure in the background, a figure that seemed to be watching them. The students realized that the shadowy figure was Michael, and the girl was his girlfriend, Sarah.

The journal mentioned that Sarah had disappeared on the same night that Michael had vanished. The students realized that the phone calls were coming from Sarah, trying to reach out to Michael from beyond the grave.

They found a small, ornate box in the room, and inside the box, they found a key. The key fit into a lock on the door of the room. They opened the door, and inside, they found a hidden compartment. Inside the compartment, they found a letter from Sarah to Michael.

The letter explained that Sarah had been trying to reach out to Michael for years, but she had been too scared to come forward. She had discovered that the dormitory was haunted by a vengeful spirit, and she had been trying to protect Michael from it.

The students realized that the phone calls were not just a haunting; they were a desperate plea for help. They decided to take the letter to the university's counseling center, hoping that it would help Michael and Sarah find peace.

As they left the dormitory, they felt a sense of relief wash over them. They had uncovered the truth behind the phone calls, and they had helped Michael and Sarah find the peace they had been seeking for so long.

The Dormitory's Phantom Phone Call was a chilling tale of love, loss, and supernatural events that had brought a group of college students together in a quest to uncover the truth. The story had left them with a sense of closure, but also with a lingering fear that the past was never truly dead.
