Have you ever heard of “Phantom Answer”?

Phantom Answer refers to a phantom that can answer any question you wish to know. It is a ritual you perform with cell phones that allows you to contact this phantom.

In order to go through with the ritual, you need ten people—including yourself—to stand in a circle. Each person must have a cell phone with them.

The first person must call the second person on their cell phone; the second person must call the third person on their cell phone; the third person must call the fourth…

Repeat this until you get to the tenth person, who will call the first person. At this time, everyone must call the person next to them at the same time. If your timing is correct (and this were a normal phone call), everybody should receive a busy signal or message when connecting.

However, instead, your phones will connect to the Phantom Answering Service. If you have followed the directions correctly, you can ask the phantom any question you wish to know.

The answer part is a little complicated, though. Out of the ten participants, nine will get to ask any question and have it answered correctly and truthfully. The other person, though, will not be so lucky. The phantom will ask this person a question. The questions are unreasonably hard, such as “On September 1 of the year 128,025 AD, what day of the week will it be?” Needless to say, such questions are nearly impossible to answer.

If the answerer is unable to give an answer, or they answer incorrectly, a hand will reach out from the cell phone screen and take part of the person’s body.

Supposedly, the phantom in question was born with only a head. By playing its game, you are helping it to collect body parts so it can become human.
