Many creepy events have happened in the world which have almost no explanations. Thus, they continue to be a source of mystery for people globally. One such mystery revolves around a jinxed Bulgarian mobile phone number — +359 888 888 888. As per a report published in the Daily Mail in 2010, three people used this number and they died after using it. Now, this number has been suspended.
The first owner of this number was, Vladimir Grashnov, the former Chief Executive Officer of Bulgarian mobile phone company Mobitel. This company had issued the number +359 888 888 888. Vladimir died of cancer in 2001, aged 48. There were rumours that his cancer was caused by a trade competitor using radioactive poisoning, the Daily Mail reported.
This number was then passed to Bulgarian mafia boss Konstantin Dimitrov. Dimitrov was gunned down in 2003 by an assassin in the Netherlands during a trip to inspect his drug-smuggling empire. As per the reports, the total worth of his empire was 500 million pounds. The 31-year-old mafia boss, had the mobile with him when he was shot while dining out with a model. As per reports, Russian mafia bosses, jealous of Dimitrov’s drug-smuggling operation, were said to have been behind the killing.
The phone number was then passed to crooked businessman and estate agent Konstantin Dishliev. As fate would have it, Dishilev was also shot dead outside an Indian restaurant in Bulgaria’s capital Sofia. His killing happened in 2005, while he was taking over the jinxed line, the report said. As per the reports, Dishliev had secretly been operating a massive cocaine trafficking operation before his murder. He died after 130 million pounds of the drug was intercepted by police on its way into the country from Colombia.
Now, when callers call this number, they get a recorded message saying the phone is “outside network coverage”. A Mobitel spokesman said, “We have no comment to make. We won’t discuss individual numbers.”
