It has been a while since my haunted house has given me anything to write about. I was starting to think that my unseen friends had abandoned me. Recently we have had some items come up missing. They were really small things that a person would hardly ever miss. The most impressive thing to come up missing was a silver antique hand mirror. It was used rarely and was mostly decorations. Three days ago my wife asked me if I knew where the mirror was. I told her that me and mirrors do not get along lately because when I look in them there is an old man looking back and it scares me. I had not touched the mirror yet it was now missing. We both looked all over the house and finally gave up. We figured that either someone had slipped into the house and stole it or one of us was getting senile.
She finally found the mirror. It was in the toe of her rubber rain boots in the back of the closet. These boots are rarely worn and usually stuck in the dark corner of her closet under some winter wear. That is where they were this time when she needed them. Only this time there was a little mirror tucked in the toe waiting on her to stick her foot in and find it. The only explanation is that one of our ghostly friends was hiding it in an attempt to get our attention. The other missing things were found also but a rational explanation can be found for each one of their disappearance and reappearance. This mirror trick is very disquieting.
