It was December 2024. At the time, I was working for a private company in Dhaka. After finishing overtime, I didn't get home until around 2:00 AM. I took a shower and went straight to bed.
Suddenly, at exactly 3:17 AM, my phone started ringing.
There was no name on the screen.
It only said:
"Unknown Caller."
I answered.
For a few seconds, there was complete silence.
Then, in a very soft voice, a girl whispered,
"Are you standing in my room?"
Confused, I replied,
"No... I'm at home."
She answered,
"Then... who's standing beside my bed?"
The call disconnected immediately.
I thought it was just a prank.
But at that exact moment, I heard a slow sound coming from the corner of my room...
Knock... Knock... Knock...
It sounded like someone was tapping three times from inside my wardrobe.
Gathering my courage, I opened the wardrobe.
Nothing.
But the moment I closed it...
Knock... Knock... Knock...
This time, the sound came from under my bed.
I didn't have the courage to look.
Just then, a new message appeared on my phone.
There was no phone number.
It simply read:
"Don't look under the bed. It knows you're awake."
My entire body turned cold.
Five minutes later, I finally gathered enough courage to turn on my phone's camera and point it beneath the bed.
What I saw on the screen...
Two pale eyes staring back at me from the darkness.
And a twisted smile.
But when I looked under the bed with my own eyes...
There was nothing there.
The next morning, I opened the recorded video.
The entire video was pitch black.
Except for the last second...
A face suddenly appeared inches from the camera and whispered:
"I'll see you again tonight..."
Since that night, I have never answered a phone call at 3:17 AM.
Because every now and then, my phone still rings...
And the screen always says:
"Unknown Caller..."
