KULBA tale 5:

Mirror Terror

By Pepin

We use a mirror everyday to see how we look. However, there are times that it can deceive us. It does not only reveal to us our physical image, but there are also secrets and mysteries that it tries to hide from us.

Way back in 1995, Anne, an eight year old student from one of the prestigious schools in Iloilo, experienced how a mirror does its tricks. It was two in the afternoon, and she was in a music class in the oldest building of the campus.

Five minutes had passed, but the teacher hasn’t arrived for class. Anne decided to go to the comfort room to fix her self. She asked Katrina to go with her, but the latter was busy playing with the other girls. She went on her own; unaware of what was to happen to her.

The comfort room was in a complete silence when she entered. There were five cubicles and the tiles were clean, although there were cracks on them. At the left is the washing area with two sinks and a medium-sized mirror hanging on the wall between them. Everything in side was in order.

Anne was looking at herself in the mirror as she was combing her long black hair. But suddenly a reflection stood behind her. She looked back but saw no one. She continued fixing her hair. Five minutes later, the reflection stood behind her again, but still no one was around inside when she tried to look around. She turned back to the mirror, but this time she saw a reflection of a nun smiling at her. Surprised and stunned, she cannot move away from her post. The image was clear, and she saw the beautiful old nun with her two eyes.

She kept on smiling at her, and Anne didn’t want to be rude. And eventhough she was trembling, she smiled back to the person in the mirror. But she did not get what she was expecting in return, because blood began to drip on the nun’s lips and her fangs slowly came out. Her eyes turned red and her stare fumed. Her saintly face turned atrocious.

Anne dropped her brush, ran her way out of the comfort room, and told her account to Katrina and the other girls. After hearing her word, the group went immediately to the comfort room to investigate. They stared at the mirror, but everything was in still silence.

Another horrifying mirror trick. Credits to theunknown from new york, USA.
