Mum left shaken by 'sinister' middle of the night phone call from random child

A woman has been left "creeped out" after her mother received an unusual phone call at 3am from a child.

The woman's daughter took to popular parenting forum Mumsnet to share the full conversation between her mum and the young boy after being concerned that somebody was attempting to "lure" her into the woods.
