Reflection In The Window

Many years have passed and I've seen dozens of news stories since, but there was one that frightens me to this very day. Three girls were going to have a sleep over while one of girl’s parents were out of town for a couple’s getaway. The problem was if one of the girls wanted to go she had to take her younger brother and sister. This wasn't a big deal because both of the children went to bed rather early.

The three girls were watching TV that night and one of the girls pointed out a man passing through the backyard. They assumed he was passing through their yard to get to his house, but then he passed through the yard a few more times. He was a tall strong looking man with broad shoulders but it was too dark to see his face. The phone rang and when the girl answered the caller said “you should check on the kids.” The girls quickly rushed up stairs and both kids were sleeping soundly.

The girls called the police immediately and told them what happened. The 911 dispatcher said they would send someone to check it out. They saw the man one more time after that before the phone rang a second time. This time the voice said “you should check the kids again.” They ran upstairs and both children were missing! As they ran down stairs, the police knocked on the door.

Later that month they found both of the kids dead and disposed in the nearby woods, and they weren't seeing the man outside they were seeing a reflection of the man behind them. He was inside the whole time!
