The Call From Beyond, by Clifford D. Simak: A man named John Muller is driving home from work when he receives a strange phone call from beyond the grave. The caller claims to be his dead wife, and she tells him that she has been trying to contact him for years. Muller is skeptical at first, but as the calls continue, he begins to believe that his wife has truly returned to him. However, things take a dark turn when Muller realizes that the calls are not coming from his wife at all, but rather from some unknown entity that is using her voice to torment him.
