This story is based off a real life event, so if you’re creeped out easily, don’t read this.
Chapter 1

I’ve always wondered if horror stories are true, but people have always told me that all these tales are just make believe. Here in the town of Tikela, People have found comfort in knowing that these terrifying tales are fiction, but what if it isn’t ?

My parents told me that my grandmother used to own a antique golden mirror in the year 1975 that used to sit right near her bed, so when she wakes up, she could see her own reflection. Strangely enough, the minute she bought that mirror was when unfortunate happenings started occurring.

On the first day, my grandmother’s rose garden has been struck by lightning and her dog has been mummified in the attic. On the second day, my great grandfather had a heart attack and died at the same time as when my aunt got shot by a bullet. On the third day, she looked into the mirror and she realised she looked frailer, and skinnier. On the fourth day, my grandfather went blind. And finally, and the fifth day, half of the house burned down and my grandmother died in the fire.

Soon after the fire, Mum passed on the mirror to her old babysitter, who she loved very dearly, not knowing the misfortune it had caused and what a huge mistake she had made. The next day, she went missing, then her body was found near a swamp not far from her house. It looked like she was washing her clothes before she drowned, but her neighbours have stated that she was committing suicide.

After she died, the authorities gave all her belongings to a garage sale and sold all her items, including the enchanted mirror. Soon, a man named Jacob bought the mirror and took it back home, only to go through the same misfortune as the other victims. After Jacob’s death, his brother, Mike, has realised the mirror was the cause of all the misfortunes and locked it away in a tower, in a cabinet at the top of the tower, never to be seen ever again.
