TEXAS — In the latest disturbing development in the case of the 27 missing girls from Camp Mystic, one of the victims’ fathers has revealed that he received a bizarre phone call at exactly 12:03 AM, just days after police uncovered a tangled mass of hair in the nearby river.
The call lasted only three seconds. There was no voice, no background noise — only a faint crackle, before it abruptly ended.
But what left both the family and investigators shocked and deeply unsettled was what came next:
The number was not blocked, and when traced… it belonged to a woman who was presumed dead since 1987.
📞 The Midnight Call
The father, whose name is being withheld for safety, told reporters that he was awake and alone, sitting by the window when the phone rang.
“It wasn’t a number I recognized,” he said, visibly shaken.
“But something in me told me to answer it. I didn’t hear a voice. Just this static… and then it hung up.”
He initially believed it might be a cruel prank — until detectives ran the number.
🕯️ Who Did the Number Belong To?
According to official sources, the phone number was registered in 2019 to a burner SIM under a prepaid plan in Texas. However, the registration address was linked to a former staff member of Camp Mystic, a woman named Annabeth R. Holloway — a name that had already appeared once in a now-sealed 1978 internal report from a former summer session gone wrong.
But here's the twist:
Annabeth Holloway was reported missing — and later declared legally dead — 38 years ago.
🚨 Police Reaction
The Camp Mystic task force confirmed the incident and has seized the phone for forensic analysis. A special cyber investigation unit is now attempting to trace the phone’s last signal tower, suspecting that the device may have been activated briefly in a remote area near the original campgrounds.
“This changes everything,” said Detective Maria Keene.
“Either someone is impersonating a dead woman… or she was never truly gone.”
🌲 Patterns Emerging?
This is not the first eerie development in the case. Over the past two weeks, investigators have uncovered:
-
A locked tunnel beneath the dining hall, filled with decades-old personal items.
-
A blood-stained ribbon that matched the DNA of two of the missing girls.
-
And now — a phone call that may have come from beyond the grave, or from someone hiding a much larger secret.
💬 Families in Fear
Parents of the other missing girls are now reportedly gathering to demand federal protection, after hearing of the midnight call. Some believe the girls may still be alive — others fear someone is taunting them.
“We just want answers,” said another father.
“And we want this to stop feeling like a horror movie.”
⏳ What Comes Next?
Authorities have not ruled out the possibility that this call was an intentional signal or message. FBI teams are now revisiting archived files from Camp Mystic’s early years, including the strange disappearances of counselors and campers from the late 1970s and early 1980s.
This case, which began as a tragic disappearance, may now be part of something far older… and far darker.
