Since my husband&#8217;s death two years earlier, I had lived alone, but I had never felt so frightened.

When I asked when she had awakened, she said it was shortly before three in the morning. The mysterious emergency call had been made at exactly 2:47 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>I spent the rest of the night downstairs, unable to stop thinking about the strange coincidence. Perhaps someone had manipulated the caller information, or maybe it had been an elaborate prank. But the police never identified the person responsible for the footprints, and the mysterious woman never came forward. Even now, I wonder whether someone had been pretending to be me\u2014or whether an unexplained warning had somehow arrived fifteen minutes before I realized I was in danger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shortly after three in the morning, I woke to a strange scraping sound outside my bedroom window.
