The video is a YouTube Unsolved episode discussing a mysterious incident involving a phone number posted on YouTube. The incident began in August 2018 when numerous customers at an AT&T store in Hanford, California, started receiving unprecedented amounts of calls from a single number. The number varied slightly each time, making it difficult to block entirely. The victims reported that they had called the number after seeing a comment on a YouTube channel. The commenter, who was not publicly identified, seemed to know the victims' names through their YouTube profiles.
The victims were primarily located in the Central Valley in California. The calls were so numerous that they caused multiple service outages throughout the region. The victims were all connected to someone who owned a YouTube channel. The calls started non-stop for over a week until the victims disconnected their service. The victims were able to trace the calls to a specific location in San Bernardino County, California, using the IMEI code and area code of the phone number.
The video then discusses a Reddit user who visited the location and found a bag of old phones. The Reddit user never posted again after this visit, and their account was later deleted. The video concludes with a visit to the location, which was described as eerie and desolate. The video ends with the statement that the mystery is still unsolved.
