Story 1:

For a while, I had a string of weird wrong-number calls. The most memorable was a call I got at about 11 p.m. I was asleep, so I answered it and couldn’t figure out what was going on. It was loud, but it sounded like several people were making noise.

When I woke up enough to hear for real, it sounded like a very mournful barbershop quartet singing—no words, just a long “oooooooh” going up and down the scale in a minor key. It was super depressing and weird, and I hung up.

I can still remember the part of the tune I heard. It was weird, and the number was restricted when I went back to look at it.
