This is a story my officemate told me that happened to her. She swears its absolutely true. This story sent shivers down my spine. She asked me not to reveal her true identity so we will just name her "May".
Nearly 10 years ago, when May was pregnant with her first child, she would contact her best friend "Judith" on a regular basis since Judith already had experience being pregnant. Judith lives quite a good distance away from May. Since they both got married to their husbands, they seldom see each other and the phone is mainly their means of communication. Back then, it was still not common to have a cellphone like it is now so they used landline.
One evening, just like any other, May calls Judith on the phone. As usual, they engaged in conversation about babies, gossip, and the like. However, one thing May noticed was that Judith's voice seemed lower than usual, even depressed. But she figured that it was pre-labor jitters, since Judith was also pregnant at that time, so she let it be.
About a week later, May calls Judith again. Judith said she just got back home from the beach with her boyfriend. May was very disturbed by this because 1) Judith is married and her husband was abroad and 2) she was 8 1/2 months pregnant at the time. Alarmed by this, May asks Judith when she started dating this guy and if her husband knows. At this point, Judith started acting distant and cold. Abruptly, she says she has to go and hangs up. May felt very uncomfortable about this and she stopped calling Judith after that.
It wasn't until four months after that finally, the two women got talking again and May decided to ask her about those two particular phone calls. The thing is, Judith said she never had those conversations with her. In fact, SHE WAS IN THE PROVINCE WITH HER RELATIVES DURING THAT TIME UNTIL SHE GAVE BIRTH! She was just not able to inform May before she left. Now, you have to know Judith, because if you did, you would realize that she is very level headed and wouldn't joke about something like that. To May's surprise, and confusion, she swears it was Judith's voice, and she even called her by her name. Nevertheless, Judith knows she didn't make receive those calls. The creepiest part: NO ONE WAS AT HOME IN JUDITH'S HOUSE AT THAT TIME. THE HOUSE WAS COMPLETELY VACANT.
