In a certain carnival, there was a hall of mirrors that was more than just a normal attraction. As people walked through, they would sometimes get lost for hours. One man entered and as he walked, he noticed that the reflections in the mirrors were not his own. Instead, they were of a deformed version of himself, with bloodshot eyes and a twisted grin. He tried to find his way out but the more he ran, the more lost he became. After what felt like an eternity, he finally stumbled out, but he was never the same again.

The scariest one I know is about a babysitter in a big, old mansion. The family she was babysitting for had warned her about some strange happenings.

She was so scared that she grabbed the kids and ran out of the house.

She was often described as wearing a red wedding dress, which is a very spooky image.
