Phantom Lovers

‘I entered a bedroom and found myself facing a full-length mirror. My reflection stared back at me as though I were a stranger, as though my reflection belonged to the house, while I was only an outsider. […]As I turned from the mirror, I thought I saw someone, something, some reflection other than mine, move behind me in the mirror.’

Whether it is to escape the horrors of real life, or to investigate what happens when we die—whatever the motivation, the eerie and the uncanny have a strong hold on the human mind. It is often the first question we ask the hotel manager when we visit an old town. Some even go looking for towns and homes infamous for hauntings! The supernatural is a powerful force, and it makes for great storytelling.
