When you work in a business that is 24/7, 365 days a year - you tend to spend more time with your co-workers than with your family. You share a lot of Thanksgiving dinners and big ball games with the folks you see nearly every day. Sometimes, those workers will take the opportunity to play games.
A good opportunity usually presented itself whenever a new employee started on the night shift (They don't call it graveyard for nothing). It was an opportunity to fully evaluate that employee's personality - and other things. They would try to determine if there were any "phobias" - and then just wait.
They'd wait for the employee to be by himself - call and hang up, call and hang up. After several nights of this, they'd get in a conversation and mention a story about someone having a massive heart attack at that spot, and on every anniversary, the phone would ring but no one would be there.
Or they would put a little bit of grease on the ear piece - call and tell the employee the lubrication mechanic was greasing the phone line and wanted to be sure grease had made it to the other end. You'd be amazed at how many people would get taken in.
