Huh? Funny you would say that... :?
I don't know if I should be this happy that this thread came back to life, ever since I read those mirror stories things haven't been quite the same, this may not be very creepy, but believe me, I'm really worried right now.
Ever since I read the mirror stories about a month ago I've been totally freaked out, the first night I found this thread I stayed up all night reading just so I didn't have to walk past my mirror while it was still dark outside, and I've been avoiding (sometimes literally running away from) mirrors all this time. Normally I really like ghost stories and creepy stuff and don't get scared easily, I loved many of the stories in here and read through all the info on the dionea house and the dibbuk box, but there was something about knowing mirrors might actually have some evil to them that deeply unsettled me, it's like I accidentally found something that awoke my deepest, dormant fears.
At first I willed myself to just stare at the mirror, I said to myself "well this can't go on any longer, it's just not rational, you're not a kid anymore, just look in the mirror, really stare at it, and when nothing happens you'll realize there's nothing to be afraid of and things will go back to normal". But when I stared, after a while my face started to blur, just my face, I could still see the rest of my body and my surroundings in my peripheral vision, it became steadily darker until all that was left was the silouette of my head, completely black inside, darkness was literally staring at me. I did it twice with the same results, so instead of vanishing my fear of mirrors increased, and I continued to avoid them.
I did so until a week ago tomorrow (last sunday) when I accidentally stared into a mirror in a completely dark room, and saw my faceless self stare back at me, it didn't blur this time, it was like that from the beginning, it scared me, but I was really tired that day because I was nearing 24 hours without sleep so I didn't pay it, or what happened next, as much attention as I would have (now that I think of it, it's a good thing I was so tired because otherwise I'd have been scared witless by this events), so I just went upstairs to go to bed. I have to pass a room on the second landing on the way to my bedroom, and I never turn any lights on to go through this room at night since I know the way by heart, but as I stared into the room from the staircase there was something off about it, the darkness inside was so dense you could almost touch it, I couldn't see a thing inside, and I got an ominous feeling, but again I was too tired to worry about it so I just went through to my room and went to bed, and as I was falling asleep everything started shaking violently, but since I wasn't thinking right I just thought it would be an earthquake and in a few seconds it would pass (this is NOT an earthquake prone area, quakes are never felt here, again, I was tired), it was really strong and seemed to last more than a minute, after which I fell asleep.
The next morning I asked my mother if she felt a quake that night, and she told me she didn't feel a thing, but phoned my dad (who lives in the neighboring state) to check that eveyone was alright just in case, my dad said there was nothing unusual that night (if there had been an earthquake he would have felt it, even the slightest tremors are felt in that area). That's when I realized there hadn't been an earthquake last night, it was my bed that had shaken violently for over a minute.
And it doesn't end there, this wednesday I went to school as always and I went to hang out at my cousins house after school, and when I arrived at my cousins' they told me my dad was looking for me and he said I needed to call him, so I did and when he picked up the phone he sounded worried, he told me his wife, who knows a lot about the paranormal (she knew exactly what it was that startled the dogs at my aunt's that other time, and when it started to follow me she got rid of it) saw me in their house that afternoon, she said I was in the guest room, hiding, and I scared the **** out of her. This deeply unsettles me, since I had been at school all day and went to my cousins' immediately afterwards, I haven't been to my dad's house in over a month.
So this is what's been happening to me lately, and still I keep on reading, trying not to blow it out of proportion (like it wasn't already), trying to move on with my life as normally as possible, there's really little more I can do about it, if nothing happens again I'll have to get over it sooner or later, and if it does, well hopefully I'll still be around to tell you guys about it...

Thankfully nothing else has happened since then, but seriously you have no idea how worried and freaked out I was then...
