For a Halloween treat, I asked my ESL students to tell a
story. One ESL student from Korea named "Sue" had one
that sent shivers down my spine.
Nearly 4 years ago, when Sue was pregnant with her first
child, she would contact her best friend "Jina" on a
regular basis since Jina had experience with being
pregnant. One evening, just like any other, Sue calls
Jina on the phone. As usual, they engage in conversation
about babies, gossip, and the like. However, one thing
Jina noticed was that Sue's voice seemed lower than usual,
even depressed. But she figured that it was pre-labor
jitters, so she let it be.
About a week later, Sue calls Jina again. Sue said she
just got back home from skiing with her boyfriend. Jina
was very disturbed by this because 1) Sue is married and
2) she was 8 1/2 months pregnant at the time. Alarmed by
this, Jina asks Sue when she started dating this guy and
if her husband knows. At this point, Sue starts acting
distant and cold. Abruptly, she says she has to go and
hangs up.
It wasn't until four months ago that finally, Jina decided
to ask her about those two particular phone calls. The
thing is, Sue said she never had those conversations with
her. Now, you have to know Sue, because if you did, you
would realize that she is very level headed and wouldn't
subject her friends to prank calls at night. To Jina's
surprise, and confusion, she swears it was Sue's voice,
and she even called her by her name. Nevertheless, Sue
knows she didn't make those calls. The creepiest part:
Jina's caller ID indicated the calls were coming from
Sue's house.
