Something in the glass.

You lean in. Your reflection leans in too, but a half-second late.

Behind your reflection, the hallway looks different. The light is orange. There are paper bats on the wall. Through the window in the mirror, you can see trick-or-treaters.

Your reflection smiles. Then it winks. You did not wink.

When you blink, it's just a cracked mirror again. But your coffee smells faintly of cinnamon now, and you can't explain why.

Your fate: mildly haunted.

Something followed you home from October, and honestly…you don’t mind.



Have a haunting story? Call the Halloween Hotline at 612-552-3579 and leave me a voicemail about the spookiest thing that's ever happened in your house. I might play it in a future episode of my new solo podcast, available on Patreon to Candy Club members.

Which fate did you get? Hit reply on this morning's email and tell me. Bonus points if you found all six!
