I do not think it is the wiring (the line inside the house) but it can be one of the phones that is causing the problem, that the switch is not operating when hanging and is as if it was off hook, although you said that already You tried it by disconnecting all the telephone devices.
Try disconnecting the entire line and connect a phone where the line starts inside the house. If the same thing happens, the problem comes, as I told you before, from the telephone company.
