What happens

Deadly Messages is a 1985 made-for-TV horror mystery thriller film directed by Jack Bender. Kathleen Beller stars. The film is initially set in an apartment in New York City. A woman decides to use her absent roommate's Ouija board to communicate with spirits, and she contacts the spirit of the apartment's previous occupant who was supposedly murdered in 1978. When the roommate returns from a date, she thinks that she witnesses the murder of the original woman. The police can not find any corpse of evidence of murder, and the dead woman is thought to have simply disappeared. The surviving woman's life starts falling apart while she is stalked by an unnamed attacker. While searching for the truth, she discovers that her own identity and memories may be false, and that she may be a known mental patient who disappeared after surviving a failed murder attempt.
