The Reflection



In a small coastal town, there stood an old Victorian house that had once belonged to the wealthy Hawthorne family. After a series of tragedies, including the mysterious drowning of the youngest daughter, Clara, the house was abandoned. The townsfolk claimed it was haunted, warning that anyone who gazed into its grand mirror would see more than just their reflection.


One rainy evening, a curious young man named Alex, fascinated by urban legends, decided to explore the mansion. Armed with a flashlight and his camera, he pushed open the creaky front door, the air inside thick with dust and secrets. The house smelled of mildew and faded memories, and as he ventured through the darkened rooms, he felt a chill creeping up his spine.


He finally found the parlor, where a large, ornate mirror hung on the wall, its surface clouded with age. It seemed to beckon him. Ignoring the warnings, he stepped closer, peering into the glass. For a moment, he only saw himself—a young man with tousled hair and an adventurous spirit. But then, the image shifted.


Clara appeared beside him, her long, flowing dress rippling as if caught in a breeze. Her eyes were wide and haunting, filled with a mix of sadness and longing. “Help me…” she whispered, her voice soft yet urgent.


Startled, Alex stumbled back. The mirror returned to normal, reflecting only the empty room. He blinked, trying to rationalize what he had just seen. Was it a trick of the light? His imagination? He took a deep breath, feeling a strange sense of empathy for the girl.


Determined to uncover the truth, he set up his camera to capture the moment, hoping to document whatever paranormal activity might occur. As he waited, he felt an overwhelming sense of melancholy in the air, as if the house itself mourned the loss of its inhabitants.


Hours passed with little more than the creaking of the old house and the distant sound of the rain. Just when he was about to give up, the mirror shimmered again, revealing Clara’s face, now more distinct. “Please… find me,” she implored, her eyes pleading.


This time, Alex didn’t hesitate. “What happened to you?” he asked, heart pounding. 


“I’m trapped,” she replied, her voice echoing through the room. “I can’t leave until someone remembers me.”


Feeling a surge of determination, Alex researched Clara’s story the next day, digging through old newspapers and town archives. He learned that the Hawthorne family had been torn apart by grief after her drowning, the family’s name fading from the town’s memory.


That night, he returned to the mansion, armed with the knowledge of Clara’s life and the legacy she left behind. Standing before the mirror, he began to recount her story aloud, sharing details of her life, her joys, and her passions. With each word, the air thickened, and he felt an energy building around him.


As he spoke, the mirror began to pulse, and Clara’s image reappeared, brighter than before. “Thank you,” she whispered, her expression softening. “Remember me.”


The room filled with a warm light, enveloping Alex in a comforting embrace. He felt a sudden rush of memories flooding back—Clara laughing with friends, dancing in the moonlight, her dreams of traveling the world. The house, once heavy with sorrow, began to feel alive again.


“I won’t forget you,” Alex promised, tears welling in his eyes. “You deserve to be remembered.”


With a radiant smile, Clara slowly faded from the mirror, and the oppressive weight in the house lifted. The mirror shimmered one last time before settling into a calm reflection of the room. Alex felt a sense of peace wash over him.


The next day, he returned to the town and organized a small gathering to honor Clara and the Hawthorne family, sharing their story and the legacy of love that had once filled the house. As people listened, the tales of Clara’s laughter echoed in their minds, bringing the past to life once more.


From that day forward, the mirror in the old Victorian house remained still, but Alex knew that Clara had found her peace. And he would forever carry her story with him, a reminder that even the lost could find a way home.

THE MIRROR

Image
** 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, ca...

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

Image
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...
