Don’t Answer the Call: Urban Legends Revisited: Book One

Pick up once. It never lets go.The phone shouldn’t have been there.It wasn’t there yesterday. But today, it sits in the alley behind Edison Middle School—an old payphone with no cord, no dial tone, and no business ringing.But it does ring. And when Leo Delgado answers, he hears a voice that knows things no one should. His secrets. His fears. His future.Now Leo’s caught in something stranger than a ghost story—trapped in a loop of vanishing classmates, cryptic predictions, and a voice that sounds more like him every day. The Booth isn’t just watching anymore.It’s waiting.The first call was a warning.The second…a dare.The third might be a trap.FIELD NOTE 001 – “The Booth”More than two dozen versions of the “haunted phone call” legend have been recorded—most involving a ghostly voice, a death prediction, or a number that should never be dialed. This account was recovered in Kansas, from a cracked phone in an alley behind Edison Middle School. We believe this case is real.
