Dude?
Student Joseph Birch, 20, and painter Sotiris Charalambous, 34, acquired the antique mirror when their landlord put it in a skip outside their in Muswell Hill, London five months ago.
But ever since then, the pair claim they have been brought nothing but bad luck, misery, financial problems and illness.
Mr Charalambous says it has caused him to wake up screaming with ‘stabbing pains’ in the night.

Because if you have a demonized mirror, the obvious move is to cash in.
That said, I’m sure they’ll turn a profit.

Just a guess, but I suspect that might have been Mr. Birch.
I also suspect that Mr. Birch’s screaming episodes occurred due to the backside view of Mr. Charalambous while riding bareback, provided by the newly acquired and strategically placed mirror.

I have a haunted pair of tennis shoes.
$150? $100? Anyone?
I’ll throw in a pair of spooky socks.
Old pants, books, lawnmower, desk….all very scary.
Make me an offer.

Haunted sneaks…just a pair of lost soles…

Haunted mirrors are actually pretty common – and they can be dangerous. Who knows if this story is real, but, a WARNING: haunted mirrors must be protected from breakage. Breaking a haunted mirror can release the entity within – never a good idea.

You know what’s really scary? White darkness. I see black darkness all the time. No effect on me.

Sounds to me like a couple of lads found a way to make a quick hundred quid.

You know, normally I’d be a complete sucker for a story like this, but for some reason I’m just assuming it’s BS.

“Quick! We’ve got to get rid of this haunted mirror before it DESTROYS US!”
“Make sure you don’t set the minimum bid reserve too low!”

That’s a charley horse, Mr. Charalambous. Welcome to early middle age.
