Residents of the sleepy town of Briddleton have been left in shock after a man was driven to the brink of insanity by a barrage of relentless crank calls.
Local resident, Jerry Thompson, claims to have been receiving anonymous nuisance calls for the last two weeks, leading to a marked increase in his anxiety and paranoia levels. In an exclusive interview with The Wibble, Jerry revealed that he's now scared to even answer the phone.
"It's been a living nightmare," he said. "I can't escape these calls. They come at all hours of the day and night. I don't know what I've done to deserve this."
The Briddleton police department have opened an investigation into the matter, but so far they've been unable to track down the perpetrator(s) of the calls. According to Jerry, they've even tried changing his number, but that didn't help.
"At first, I thought it was just a silly prank," he said. "But it's gone too far now. They're always shouting obscenities at me, or playing strange music down the line."
In an effort to get to the bottom of the mystery, The Wibble has conducted its own investigation into the matter, and we've uncovered some shocking information.
According to our sources, it appears that Jerry may not be the only victim of these prank calls. It seems that the perpetrator(s) have been targeting other residents in the town as well. But why?
Some believe that this may be part of a wider conspiracy, involving the local government or big corporations. Others think that it's just a group of bored teenagers with too much time on their hands.
As the mystery deepens, Jerry is left to wonder if he'll ever be able to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep again. His nerves shot and his mind fried, he's left with only one option: to fight back.
"I'm not going to let them beat me," he said. "I've got some tricks up my sleeve, and I'm going to catch them out. Just you wait."
As we wrap up our investigation, The Wibble urges all residents of Briddleton to be vigilant, and to report any suspicious activity to the local authorities. Until the perpetrator(s) is caught, we can all only stay on high alert, and hope that we don't become the next victim of this senseless and cruel harassment.
