This story was published in various media such as "Dalilymail" during 2013 in the United Kingdom .Believing it or not depends on each one of us, but this does not detract from the singular interest that aroused the history itself.

A mirror of the twenties, an artist and a student

These are our three protagonists.The first to open the curtains of this story was the artist: Sotiris Charalambous is 34 years and is a painter.Led by his aesthetic tastes and his admiration for everything strange and bizarre, I do not hesitate to buy an old mirror in Muswell Hill, a district of North London famous for its Edwardian aesthetics and a spring to which in the past, they attributed medicinal virtues.

I take it home immediately with the idea of place it at the entrance of his apartment, just above a radiator where there was a very large free space.It seemed good to his partner.Joseph Birch, 20, did not pay too much attention the first few days, is a student and hardly goes much for home, just to sleep.Now, according to the same explanation, there were already a few moments when looking into that mirror caused chills .He saw dark shadows, unexplained movements that appeared on the surface without anything on the outside having its concordance.Where did those shadows come from?

The first few days he said nothing.Until one man Ana, his companion, complained about something he could not understand: he had his back full of scratches, he was exhausted, scared and almost immobilized. He had spent a whole night mired in very strange nightmares , and at dawn, the pain in my back forced him to get up to undress, and discover those wounds .

It could be somewhat isolated, but since the mirror reached that small floor of students and artists, bad luck also began to float in the house: money problems, exams that are suspended, the feeling that they are being watched, that they cannot concentrate, study, or paint...The atmosphere was charged, as if it was difficult to breathe And even more: if it is common to notice strange shadows sliding inside the mirror , what they perceived were also orbs.Beasts that come and go loaded with light and float around the house.The situation, as you can imagine, was unsustainable.

And what did our protagonists do? Try to sell the mirror.They went to an antique house, but did not seem interested in it.They went to several more and all received them with discomfort.What was it? They said that the frame was of poor quality, that it was not a piece of interest.And although it is true that at first they thought of breaking it and throwing their remains into a container , fear made them think in the consequences that could have that. They should do it well.

During those weeks when they were thinking of destroying it, things got even worse. Small objects began to disappear.: keys, spoons, lighters, clocks...At night they heard popping outbursts, for the second, get up terrified and discover the messy room, the chairs moved, the lamps swaying...

Solution? They put up for sale on ebay for a starting price of 100 pounds , but added a small explanation "that it was haunted, that whoever obtained it, ran the risk of experiencing strange phenomena"...

The mirror was sold in the 2013, the young people were thus freed from their presence without the need to break it.Now, today we do not know if the buyers have had any problem or if they have experienced the same phenomena.Be that as it may, the protagonists of this story we They warn of something important:

"Think twice before putting a second-hand object in your house.We can never know what history it has left behind."
