Well, in some call center ghost stories, employees have reported that their computers would turn on and off by themselves in the middle of the night. For example, there was this one call center where a worker was alone on the graveyard shift. She heard the sound of a chair moving on its own as if someone was sitting down. Then, the phone started to ring, but when she picked it up, there was no one on the other end. It was really spooky.

I'm sorry, I haven't actually read the full story myself, but generally it might be about the various experiences and interactions that take place during one night in a call center.

Most likely they are superstition. In call centers, people are often stressed and tired. Strange noises or feelings of unease can be due to exhaustion and the overactive imagination that comes with it.
