[It's dark. But judging by the orange, flickering light lighting up Heather's face as she does the customary squint-at-the-screen-to-make-sure-it's-recording motions, she's got a campfire lit. Satisfied, she puts it down on her pack and adjusts it a little before taking a seat in front of it. She's already laid out the sleeping bag and everything ( Read more... )

Ever hear the one about the ghost in the mirror?

[video] foolishwren June 29 2010, 16:24:42 UTC

Y'mean the whole 'Bloody Mary' thing? I've heard that one.

[video] bakaitoukid June 29 2010, 16:26:15 UTC

No way! This one's creepier!

[video] foolishwren June 29 2010, 16:33:37 UTC

Ohhhh? I'm all ears!

It starts out with this very vain woman who inherits an old mirror from her grandmother. Naturally, she hangs it up on the wall in her bedroom so she can look in it every day. She spends hours in front of that mirror, brushing her hair and doing all sorts of things that girls do when they're obsessed with their appearance...

[he pauses]

-- you following me so far?

[video] foolishwren June 29 2010, 16:40:26 UTC

Yeah, annoying vain chick, old mirror, grandma, got it!

It starts off small. Times when she moves and she swears her reflection doesn't move with her. Or times when she looks in the mirror and thinks she sees someone behind her, but no one's there.

And then... she starts seeing things. Away from the mirror. She's out shopping, and something passes by her vision. What makes it even creepier is the fact that when she gets home... she almost always sees the exact same thing in the mirror too.

[PAUSE FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT]

[Why is it that every single story told tonight has managed to touch one of Heather's retardedly-big number of phobias? Mirrors, the happy birthday song ... Oh well. She DID mention that she'd regret this.]

Go on.

[video] bakaitoukid June 29 2010, 21:42:47 UTC

[MAN he didn't mean to, but he presses on anyway, completely unaware of her phobis]

One night, as she's brushing her hair and getting ready for bed, she glances up in the mirror and sees her reflection. Only this time... it's completely different. She's an old woman with blood shot eyes and stringy hair. The lady screams just as the reflection reaches for her and moves to cover her head, waiting for the gnarled hand to grab her--

-- but it never does. When she looks up again, the reflection is gone. She wraps the mirror up and puts it away in the attic for fear of having to see herself in such a state ever again.

But it doesn't end there.

[It's coo'! It's Heather's own fault for asking for creepy stories while she's sitting in the woods in the middle of the night. Hindsight, 20/20.]

'Course not, it wouldn't be a good story if it ended like that.

What happened then?

[video] bakaitoukid June 29 2010, 23:01:33 UTC

The mirror starts appearing in random rooms of her house, and the woman doesn't remember taking it out of the attic. Each time she puts it back, she finds it in a new corner the next day. She's going completely mad at this point. No one believes her when she tells them about the mirror!

And then... a few weeks later, her family finds her hanging from her ceiling, a few shards of broken glass underneath her feet.

The mirror is never found again.

[DRAMATIC ENDING PAUSE]

[... Well. It's stereotypical, but thanks to the presence of a MIRROR in the story, Heather is legit creeped. CONGRATULATIONS, KAITO.]

... Freaky.

[video] bakaitoukid June 29 2010, 23:35:31 UTC

[he knows. BUT IT WORKED MAN]

It's much better when told in person.

[video] foolishwren June 30 2010, 16:16:58 UTC

Heh. Most stories are. But hey, thanks for obliging me!

[video] bakaitoukid July 1 2010, 02:06:11 UTC

Don't mention it!

-- hey, I didn't get your name last time.

[video] foolishwren July 1 2010, 04:01:21 UTC

Oh yeah-- it's Heather. And you?
