Empty house calls 911 while dying

MARBLEHEAD, Massachusetts — After months of enduring a leaking pipe that buckled its floors and sagged its ceilings, an empty house somehow called police for help.

The Salem News reports the call to the emergency hotline went out to police from a house in Marblehead on Wednesday after water short-circuited the phone system, apparently sparking the emergency call.

Officers were sent to the address after the call was recorded as a hang up and a return call got static.

Inside, they found the wreckage, including potentially toxic mold, from a pipe that apparently burst during the winter.

Town officials say the interior may have to be gutted.

Rod Serling could have made a Twilight Zone story out of this.:lol:

What the...? Strange :shock:

When I first clicked on this, I thought that the house was calling 911 when it was on fire.

Now THAT would have been creepy.

Well houses are people too you know.

On November 27, 2006 my baby brother was killed. That Christmas as me and my family were at my parents house, my girl's cell phone started ringing and at the same time, my mothers house phone started ringing. The phones were calling each other, but neither dialed the number. We were all just talking in the livingroom when it happened. That's weird.

Only one possible explanation here: Ghosts.Ace6301

I'd entertain the thought though I'm sure I'd get ridiculed for it.

That's crazy but awesome.

Well it will probably be a fixer upper but I know where I'm moving when I get out of school.

That is spooky.

That is spooky.

your sig is spooky and same with the one with the oil going in some midgets stomach lol

It's not the first time a short-circuit has resulted in a 911 call.ThePlothole

It should've said, "Hello, are there any walking houses nearby?" and after the answer of "No, are you crazy?" the house should've grown legs and walked to the police office. That's what I would've done if I was a talking house.

That is spooky.
