When I was little, I used to read a lot of ghost stories, and of course, a lot of these stories dealt with mirrors and things behind them. I had a door leading straight to the family bathroom and besides the monster under my bed (we'll get to that in another anecdote), I thought that if I opened that door (which had the HUGE mirror directly on the other side) I would see SOMETHING with red eyes.
