I have been there. I have actually used that phone booth, in the 1990s. I was in the army, training, and I used it to call home. I have a picture of it somewhere, in an old photo album, lol. For the record, no bullet holes in it back then :)

[@ParisLawLess]

That's insane

[@Shinylamb666]

Let’s see the picture!

[@jasonanderson589]

Is it that hard to believe that a phone booth is placed in a location that one might need help if they get stuck !?!

[@thebuddah1253]

Really doesn't seem like a bad idea for it to stay there. Kinda bs.

[@StrangeStorylines]

Those "Ghosts" at the end in gmod are actual players. It's a complicated process, but the map itself is connected to a private lobby that eventually lets other players go in and wreak havoc in your game. Freaky, yet it is actually a feature of the map.

[@RuaidhriFurlongobrien]

Just read this comment and I already know which map your talking about

[@troyjohnson5983]

I’ve heard about this but can’t find anything online that says it’s actual players. Any videos or links you know of that talk about this?

[@StrangeStorylines]

@@troyjohnson5983 I can't remember the name of the channel, but I've seen a video that completely went over the many secrets of this haunted GM Construct. Just look them up on YT, and eventually you'll find one that talks about this oddly added and active feature in the map. It's honestly pretty cool and also terrifying that so many of them can show up at random people's servers. I guess that shows how gmod is still popular to this day.

[@sudosystemctl]

@@troyjohnson5983 in the map files of gmconstruct13 beta there is a file that connects to a website which allegedly connects you with other players! i havent checked it out in over a year so yeah.

[@sterlinsilver]

As a general rule "555" numbers are prank numbers. No actual phone uses them. That's why people in shows call them so much because it wont bother any real people.

[@williamparis500]

The 555 area code was unassigned for use by scriptwriters up until (I think) the early 2000s and only a segment of it is used for informational numbers. So the phone booth couldn't have possibly had this phone number. So either they hid the phone number or (more likely) the phone didn't actually work and it wasn't operational.

[@sabresister]

@@williamparis500so was the story about talking to Lorraine made up? I kind of felt bad for her when they took the phone booth away in 2000

[@williamparis500]

@@sabresister - hey thanks for your question. It led me to do some actual research and it turns out the phone booth did work but the phone number actually started with area code 760 in the mid/late 90s. So looks like the actual phone number is either unknown or they hid it (maybe because it's been moved to another line?). So perhaps all the calls are real!

[@WitchidWitchid]

The Internet actually began as early as the 1960s (yes I was alive then) but it wasn't the Internet as we know it today. In those days it was mainly a research network used by government, military, and academic institutions. The Internet somewhat more.along the lines as we know it today came.about in the early 1980s.

I drove through the Mojave Desert last month in SoCal. It's riddled with lots of tiny communities, some hidden away in canyons and behind rocks and hills. It's an amazing area. It's especially beautiful in winter, where things are green and the desert flowers bloom. I love exploring there.

[@thomasyancey5887]

I believe that's the same phone booth i heard about on Art Bell radio. At the time there was supposedly a guy camping at it, answering it. Art talked to him on it

[@XarmenKarshov]

Dude, let me tell you, there's so many Garry's Mod servers that have been abandoned that you may never see again. Here's two that I can think of: Industrial Nightmare - A really surreal, dark, and brutal roleplay server. There's some videos on KZbin Begotten 3 - Technically not abandoned, but it's on and off, generally for the weekend but I don't know the full lore. The idea is God removed himself from life and the world went to shit. There's videos of it and if you play on the weekend, you can try it yourself.

[@billblaski9523]

What?? Who are you and how have i only just found about this channel til now?? I love abnormal/paranormal/horror/strange/unsolved/alien-type content! Lemme binge some of your videos so you'll probably see just a deluge of comments from me across a bunch of ur old videos

[@Sacrow]

Thank the algorithm and welcome!

[@troymorris2179]

Your explanation of Gmod maps was amazing The weight of the expectation of horror that brings us viewers across miles to emotionally connect on the same page, the details left in every turn and step into an almost foreign world tormenting us with the familiarity of our civilization - telling us the reserved horror of the sudden madness pictured perfectly by our civilization; violence, war and the treachery of truth by soothing each event’s effect. All of this carefully collected and distributed in the particular expansion of the nature of the map itself. 👏 Nice one, Sacrow

[@knife-wieldingspidergod5059]

If the Mojave phone booth's pay phone rang at 2 in the morning and no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?

[@Blalack77]

With the Mojave phone booth and liminal spaces and relics from the past and the feelings you get and stuff - I've thought a lot about that kind of stuff. Specifically like with malls and stores/buildings/businesses that were once bustling but are basically abandoned now.. I'm 38 so I've been here long enough to notice these sorts of things and it's definitely a weird feeling. I don't even really know how to explain it. The cycles of culture and technology kind of remind me of the cycle of human life - seeing things fade away that I remember being active in my lifetime reminds me of getting older. The "old internet" reminds me of all of this too. I'm just old enough to remember the internet going public and I remember making tons of cheesy websites/pages with my friends with Angelfire - they looked like the Mojave phone booth one basically - except maybe not even _that_ advanced lol.
