Head on the Mirror

I like linking things to the supernatural sometimes, I think it's pretty cool, since a lot of people in my family likes horror stories, as well as horror related media. What I am about to tell you is something that scared me a year ago.

It was 7:45 at night during one summer when I was 14 years old. And I was alone in the house since my dad took my my mom out for a "date", and my older sister is still not home which I found a bit unusual since she was always home at 6:00-6:30, and my eldest sister won't be home until 11:00 or 11:30 since she gets out of the office at that time.

Since I was alone, I decided that I should watch a movie while waiting for everyone to come home. I prepared myself a little dinner so I'll have something to eat while watching a movie. I switched on the DVD player, and I popped in the movie Tooth Fairy (The movie featuring Dwayne Johnson where he's a Hockey Player). About halfway through the movie, my sister arrived, I felt relieved for a reason that there's someone I'm with already. When she saw me sitting on the couch she asked me, "What's that you're watching?" "Tooth Fairy" I replied softly, she didn't seem to have heard me so she asked again, "What?" "Tooth Fairy" I said a little louder this time.

"Oh..." she replied then said, "Well I'll change my clothes, I'll be upstairs if you need me. You wait for mom and dad to come home, and make sure you lock the door." I simply replied "Okay." "And I'll be onmy Ipod so there's no use trying to shout from here." "Sure..." I replied lazily.

I was sitting on the sofa beside themirror that reflects the door. Everytime I look at the mirror, I get this weird feeling as if someone is looking back at me, but I just shrugged it off thinking I was just reading too much scary stories and playing too much horror games.

It's around 8:05 when strange things began happening. I heard some knocking on the door, so I thought maybe mom and dad was home already. So I opened the door, only to find there's no one outside.

I laughed at myself for being so paranoid, but I swear I heard someone knock. Thinking I really just paranoid, I continued watching the movie. After 10 minutes or so, the knocking appeared again this time I was annoyed but at the same time, gave me a feeling of being uneasy, so I phoned my best friend, who is a bit of a psychic. I told him that I'm feeling very uneasy whenever I look in the mirror, he asked "You can feel it too"and I asked him nervously, "Feel what?" and after a few seconds of silence, he told me something that made me feel even more uncomfortable.

He said that when he first visited my house, he saw long strands of hair scattered on the floor by the front door. I told him this isn't funny and I asked himif he was trying to prank me. Into which he replied No. And then he apologized for scaring me, I told him it's okay, and I'll see him tomorrow before I said goodbye and hung up.

I was trying to get all the weird feelings in me, but I just can't help but look at the mirror everytime I get the urge to do so. After 4-6 times of looking into the mirror, I looked at the mirror for the 7th time and what I saw made my hair stand: it was a human head partially covered in hair. I rubbed my eyes, thinking it was just playing off. I was wrong. It's absolutely real!

The feeling is becoming even more uneasy at every passing minute. I tried to ignore the act that there was something really scary that will most likely haunt me for years. When I gathered the courage to look at the mirror for the last time, it is the most regretted decision I have ever made. The face is right in front of the mirror already, as if it's trying to get out of it. The face did something that would make any child go crazy and traumatized: It smiled creepily at me, I saw its pale face with blood trickling down its cheek. At the sight of this horrible entity, it made me sweat in fear, and it made me pass out.

I woke up at around 10:30. The horrors I have experienced still haven't left me, when I looked at the mirror, I can still see the head is still there, staring at me. I heard my mom's voice call on the front door, so i rushed to the door almost tripping like an idiot.

When they are inside already, I asked them how their date went, my mom said happily "Oh it's best date I've ever had!" As she looked at my dad who was smiling at her.

A few minutes later, I told her all about what happened, but I haven't told her that the ghost still haven't left it's place. But the moment I told my mom about the head that was on the mirror, the smile she had on her face disappeared and was replaced with a worried expression as she looked at my dad. "What's wrong?" I said "Oh nothing... it's just..." "Just what?".

My mom told me that when we moved here, the mirror has been here already, since she found the mirror nicely decorated and looks good for a decoration, she kept it instead of selling it. She felt weird things happen when she looked at the mirror, like a shadow lurking around, she once saw a man that stood behind her when she wasalone in the house. But she just tried to ignore them.

I'm 15 years old already and this incident still haven't left my mind.The ghost? Well, when I look at the mirror, I can still see the head, never leaving its place.
