A young woman inherits her grandparents' isolated house along with one chilling rule. Never look into the old hallway mirror after sunset. From writer Jonathan Farrow and narrated by Michelle Kane. Creepy Presents, Shadow Mirror.
It's just a mirror. That phrase echoed in Elisa Smith's mind every time her gaze fell on the blackened glass hanging in the long hallway in her grandparents' house. The mirror was nearly her height, its opaque surface barely reflecting the room's outlines. while the carved wooden frame, with its twisted, knotted Gothic motifs, bore the marks of time and the dust accumulated over the years. No one, it seemed, had ever bothered to clean it. Her grandmother, shortly before passing away, had left her only one enigmatic instruction. Do not remove it. Ever. For no reason. And above all... Do not look at it after sunset. Elisa had never dared to ask why, and perhaps she would never have the courage to find out.
Now, with her grandparents gone and the decaying house inherited, Elisa was forced to live alongside that silent, unsettling presence. She spent her days between the desk and dusty shelves, restoring old books with the patience of someone who knows that every gesture matters, while the sun barely filtered through the darkened windows. The idea of staying here for a few months, just long enough to get everything in order and prepare the house for sale, didn't disturb her. At least not yet. The first week passed in an almost unreal silence, broken only by the creaks of the old wooden floors and the distant moan of rusty pipes. Tiny, almost imperceptible sounds, yet enough to fill the empty rooms with a constant echo.
Elisa soon learned to ignore them, convinced they were merely the product of the house's advanced age. Yet every night, when she had to pass the mirror in the hallway to reach the bathroom, something made her hesitate.
