She then begins walking to see if she can get signal on her phone as she doesn’t want to be alone at this fragile point of her life as she is walking she realises she has entered the nearby forest and keeps going deeper and deeper so that she can make the call, she is oblivious to the fact she is alone in the forest at this late time of night.

When she the phone finally begins to ring she can hear interference like a quiet whispering voice telling her to stop and she should have stopped the audience suspect this is something that has happened in her past and may explain the various noises and creepy happenings earlier on.
