When a disconnected rotary phone starts ringing in the middle of the night, the voice on the other end isn’t asking for help—it’s giving instructions. Jon traces the history of the device through a trail of grief and disappearances. Ryan digs up an unsettling number of Cold War death cults. And Kearns wonders: what if the signal isn’t coming from beyond the veil… but beneath it? A haunted line. A message undelivered. And something ancient on the other end, learning to speak in our dead.
