A man bought an antique mirror at a flea market. As soon as he brought it home, strange things started to happen. At night, when the lights were off, he could see a faint glow coming from the mirror. One night, he heard a soft voice calling his name from within the mirror. He got closer to look, and he saw a figure trapped behind the glass. The figure's hands were pressed against the mirror, trying to break free. As he watched in horror, the figure's face contorted into a rage, and cracks started to form on the mirror. He was so scared that he threw the mirror out of the house, but he could still hear the figure's angry screams in his head.
