The mirror in the old mansion was said to be haunted. They say if you look into it long enough, you’ll see something that isn’t your reflection. It’ll show your biggest fear. It’s mysterious how it works, but a legend owned the house, knew magic, and had a powerful watch to do anything.
The mirror in the old mansion was said to be haunted. People said if you looked into it long enough, you would see something that wasn’t your reflection.
One night, a boy named Marcus went into the mansion to test the legend. The place was dark and full of dust. He found the mirror in a big room. It was tall and old, with strange marks on the edges.
Marcus stood in front of it and stared. At first, he only saw himself. But after a while, his reflection moved even though he didn’t. The reflection smiled, but Marcus wasn’t smiling.
No one had entered the mansion since Clara vanished. They said it was because of the haunted mirror.
According to legend, if you dared to look deeply into its cracked surface, you’d see not your reflection, but something else. Not a figure… a presence. One that didn’t want to be seen. One that waited.
Lucas, a skeptic, went in one night. Dust choked the air. Shadows moved where there shouldn’t have been any. In the dim light, he stood before the mirror and forced himself to see.
At first, only his own face. Then—eyes behind him. Cold. Wrong. His reflection smiled.
But Lucas didn’t.
He tried to move. To scream. To run. But he was no longer in the room. He was inside.
And fear was the last thing he felt… before becoming part of that mysterious place, where reflections live—and the living vanish.
The mirror in the old mansion was said to be haunted. They say if you look into it long enough, you’ll see something that isn’t your reflection. The old mirror allows you to see past inhabitants of the home. It was feared that if you stare for exactly 10 minutes, you will see a mysterious man who will tell you a legend about the past owners and their fate. It is so disturbing that you might watch the reflection in fear.
“The mirror in the old mansion was said to be haunted. They say if you look into it long enough, you’ll see something that isn’t your reflection.” So, to make sure this was real, I went inside the mansion. First I checked the living room, which was clear. Then I checked the rooms, and those were clear. But later, I found a hallway, a long hallway. At the end, it had 1 mirror. When I looked, I had just seen myself. Until I looked away for about a few seconds. I seen a woman tall with with long hair reaching down her face. It started at me. I slowly walked backwards. When I turned around to sprint it touched me. It was only a few seconds before I realized I would die in this mansion. Then it was over I remember waking up as a ghost.

Amelia didn’t believe the legend. She went inside and looked.
A girl appeared behind her in the glass. Pale is still watching.
“You shouldn’t have come,” the girl whispered.
Now Amelia’s gone. But if you look closely you’ll see her. Still watching.

The mirror in the old mansion was said to be haunted. They say if you look into it long enough, you’ll see something that isn’t your reflection. This is the mysterious GhOsT people said that this house long ago was owned by i dont know who im not smart in history but they died in somewhere between 1967-1999 but it is hunted but now they haunt a boring mirror in this mansion.
I was lost and alone in a forest. For hours I’ve been trying to find shelter for the night,then I see an old mansion not far up ahead. I had second thoughts but I’m desperate to find a place to stay,so I go in. As I got in there were items,books,and glass all over the place. It’s clear that this place may have been abandoned. I walk around the rooms,no one is here except me. I continue to walk around until I stop to a room with no lights and a faint smell of something rotten. I enter the room in the middle of the room is a huge item that’s being covered by table cloth. I take off the cloth and it reveals to be a mirror with gold around it. I look at myself in the mirror and I see a person standing next to me holding a knife going to my neck. I looked back but there was no one. as I wasn’t looking at the mirror,the person’s hands get out of the mirror and grabbed me inside the mirror and the cloth closed the mirror. I never came out.
I didn’t believe this silly rumor. There’s no way it’s true. I decided to go check for myself, I got in my car and drove to the so-called haunted mansion. I go up the creaky steps and open the door, I navigate my way to the 2nd floor and into the 3rd room that the mysterious mirror was in. I go up to it and I stare into it for a good long 10 minutes. Nothing. “These crazy and unrealistic rumors. Waste of my time.” I say as I let out a big sigh. As I’m turning around to walk out of the room I hear a loud bang behind me. I turn back around and realize that the mirror is completely shattered I begin to approach it and I take a peak at it and my own reflection crawls out of the mirror. I turn around and sprint out of the room and down the stairs as I look back and realize that its running right behind me. I open the door and get into my car I make sure I locked all the car doors. I look into the rear view mirror and I see my fearful eyes but my face looks distorted. I turn away from the mirror and I drive to a police station as fast as I can as my own reflection chases after the car. Lesson learned never again will I try something like this.
