On Halloween night in 1971, I received a telephone call from someone who shouldn't have been able to call me.
My mother had passed away seven months earlier.
She had raised me alone, taught me to play the piano, and filled my childhood with a little lullaby I could recognize anywhere.
After losing her, I kept an old recording of her voice locked away in a cedar chest.
I could barely bring myself to listen to it.
That Halloween evening, I was home alone while my husband worked late.
Around seven thirty, the telephone rang.
I answered.
Nobody spoke.
Then, through the faint static, I heard something that made me stop breathing.
My mother's voice.
She said the same words she used to say when teaching me piano.
Then I heard six familiar notes.
Four going up.
Two coming down.
Her lullaby.
And the line went silent.
I rushed upstairs to check the old recording.
The tape was missing.
Later that evening, my husband called from work.
When I told him what happened, he suggested I was imagining things because I had been thinking about my mother.
But something about his call didn't sound right.
There was a strange noise in the background.
A sound I recognized.
And when I finally realized where it was coming from, I began questioning everything that had happened inside our house over the past several months.
Because the missing objects, the strange telephone call, and the things my husband had been telling our neighbors might not have been separate incidents.
Someone wanted me to believe I could no longer trust my own memory.
And Halloween night was only the beginning of what I was about to discover.
