I just bought a house in Vallejo, California and found a telephone
wire in one room leading to a plug that is plugged into a 115 Volt
outlet... Anyone know why?

Thanks.


The telephone wire leads to the 115 volt outlet but then what?
Where does it come from?
Some really dumb owner may have used telephone wire as AC extension cord.
