I got a terrifying phone call yesterday.
A deep, raspy, grating recorded voice said "This is Callista Gingrich..." I cannot tell you how scary her voice is! For one thing, by the looks of her you wouldn't think she sings basso profundo. If she hadn't self identified, I would have thought she was...well, some "creature from the black lagoon." She was calling, she said, from some conservative group I've never heard from.
But I didn't hold on long enough to know what her subject du jour was. I was too scared.
It is very odd, because I thought the campaigns all had advanced technology so that they know the numbers to call and those not to bother calling. I live in a ward that is 5-6% Republican, strongly Democratic (my husband works at the polls every voting day and sees the numbers coming in). And we live in what I affectionately call "The People's Republic of New Haven" (just to piss off a RW relative).
Maybe they hope they can cause us progressive Democratic seniors to have premature heart attacks and be unable to vote in November...

it was a waste of their time & money to make that call.
I enjoy getting GOP campaign literature as I know it costs them at least something to send it to me. There is labor involved, printing, postage and alike.
It's a good thing! 
and my condolences for your dreadful experience. Hopefully you won't suffer PTSD or anything from it! 
You should never answer the phone. Hopefully, you're not a teenager engaged in promiscuous sex, otherwise you're done for.
