Super Weird

911 Dispatcher here: This happens sometimes. We had a 911 hang up call the other day, We called back and there was no ans. We respond to the address and still no answer at the house that is shown listed to that phone number. We tried calling again and spoke to the people, they tell us they are at home. Turns out they moved 3 months ago though and Verizon never updated their address so we had it wrong.
Using a VOIP phone will sometimes give off a wrong address as well.....its weird.

Wait- this was from OP? Creepy!

I think it's a reference to "When A Stranger Calls".

You are just a baby.

The call coming from inside the house/basement is an old urban legend/ghost story that has been around from at least the late 70s and probably earlier. I remember it going around when I was a kid and everyone getting freaked out during slumber parties at the house where one girl had her own phone line separate from her parents.

I am 50 and have no idea what this is. But I do remember Are You in the House Alone?

OK, you are 50, you probably should have heard of this:

And then it was remade in 2006.

Made the call was placed by someone who actually died the previous day!

Possibly, but not guaranteed. OP, you should report this to the cops, just so they can do a more thorough check.

Go walk up to the garage and see if the lights go on... easily tested theory.

That is for a hang-up call.

Wouldn't a 911 dispatcher actually verify the address to go to for a call made regarding a missing child as opposed to going by the cell-phone address that popped up on the screen? As in take down a verbal address from the caller?
