The call is coming from inside your house...errr....Office

I work in an office environment with approximately 40 employees in a medium size office suite.

For some time now, there have been some unusual happenings at my workplace that cannot be explained.

It all started with internal phone calls dialing the reception.

For the past month, two other coworkers and I have been the first to arrive for the day. Therefore we are the ones to deactivate the office's alarm system.


Every day we are greeted with a persistent ringing on the front desk phone where the receptionist sits.

The first time it was one of the head executives of the company.

That day I checked their office (after turning off the alarm) to make sure she was alright, just in case something happened at the end of the previous day and she attempted to reach out futilely.

Her office door was locked, and she was not there.  So a mystery was born.

A couple of days passed before our day was greeted by another mysterious call.  This time from one of the HR ladies; since their office is always locked at the end of the day before I leave for the day, I know there was no one there and that the call was not placed before I left for that day.

Then finally, a couple of days later, a call from an office that was not unlocked and the door remained open was plaguing the receptionist's desk phone.

This time I was alone; since arriving super early, it was still dark outside, and the building was eerily empty.  I tried psyching myself to check out this office before disconnecting the line from the receptionist's machine.

I could not do it; I picked it up and closed it, then went straight to my office.

Since then, it continued somewhat daily, sometimes randomly, but mainly fluctuated between the HR lady and that one office with her door open (I never had the nerve to check that out .. yet).
