THE MIRROR


**The Mirror**


There was once a young woman named Claire who loved collecting antiques. One day, while browsing through a flea market, she came across an old, ornate mirror with a gilded frame that caught her eye. The vendor, an elderly woman with a mysterious air, told her that the mirror had once belonged to a wealthy family but had been sold after a tragedy in their mansion. Intrigued by its history, Claire purchased the mirror and brought it home.


The mirror fit perfectly in her bedroom, adding a touch of elegance to the space. At first, it seemed like an ordinary piece of furniture, but soon strange things began to happen. Claire noticed the reflection in the mirror wasn’t quite right. At times, she saw shadowy figures lingering behind her, but when she turned around, no one was there.


One night, as she lay in bed, she heard a faint whisper coming from the direction of the mirror. At first, she thought it was just her imagination. But the whispers grew louder, more insistent, calling her name in a slow, deliberate tone. When she looked into the mirror, she saw not her own reflection, but a different face staring back at her—a pale, gaunt woman with hollow eyes.


Terrified, Claire tried to remove the mirror from her room, but it seemed impossibly heavy, as though it had rooted itself to the floor. The whispers turned into cries, and each night, the ghostly figure in the mirror came closer, reaching out toward her.


Desperate, Claire returned to the flea market to find the elderly woman who sold her the mirror, but she was nowhere to be found. When she asked other vendors about the woman, they all claimed she had passed away years ago.


The last night Claire was seen alive, neighbors reported hearing screams from her apartment. When the authorities arrived, they found her room empty, with the mirror shattered into a thousand pieces. Claire was never seen again.


Some say her spirit now resides in the fragments of that mirror, waiting for the next unlucky soul to put the pieces back together.

THE WATCHER IN THE WINDOW

Image
The Watcher in the Window Eric and his wife Lisa had always dreamed of living in the countryside, away from the noise and chaos of the city. So, when they found a charming old farmhouse nestled on a quiet road surrounded by woods, it seemed perfect. The house was beautiful, if a bit worn, with large windows that overlooked a serene field. It was everything they had hoped for. The first few weeks were peaceful. They spent their days fixing up the house, enjoying the fresh air, and getting to know their new, quiet life. But as the days grew shorter and the nights darker, Eric began to notice something odd. Every evening, just after sunset, he’d feel a prickling sensation on the back of his neck, as though he were being watched. At first, he dismissed it as paranoia—just getting used to the isolation. But the feeling persisted. Whenever he looked out of the large windows facing the field, he felt certain that something—someone—was standing there, just beyond the edge of the woods. One nig

The shadow in the mirror

The Shadow in the Mirror Lena had just moved into a new apartment in an old, creaky building. It was quaint, affordable, and had everything she needed—except for one odd feature: a massive antique mirror in the hallway. The previous tenants had left it behind, and though she found it unnerving, she decided to keep it, thinking it added some character to the place. A few days into her stay, Lena noticed something strange. Every time she walked past the mirror, she felt a cold breeze and an odd sense of being watched. At first, she brushed it off, attributing it to an overactive imagination or old drafts in the building. But then she started seeing something. Late at night, in the dim light of the hallway, she would catch glimpses of movement in the mirror—shadows that didn’t match her own. Once, as she was getting ready for bed, she saw a figure standing behind her in the reflection. She spun around, heart pounding, but no one was there.  The next night, Lena decided to confront her fea
