Telephones have always fascinated me -- they've always managed to scare me for some reason, as well. When I was a child, I would occasionally answer some mysterious calls that would just flat out scare the shit out of me because I didn't know what to make out of them. A lot of the calls consisted of international solicitors, beeps, and sometimes music.

I'll share some of mine and I hope you too will share some of yours, if you have experienced this phenomenon before. I haven't seen a thread about this for quite some time.
