Mirror Mirror

Americans Tim and Judy Corvina inherited a wardrobe from Tim’s grandmother. The origin of the large wardrobe was unknown but it was thought to be early nineteenth century and to have been a wedding present to the grandmother many decades before. It was placed in the second bedroom of Tim and Judy’s house, which for a time doubled as the nursery for the couple’s newborn son.

Once or twice, while attending to her son, Judy noticed an odd shimmering light coming from the wardrobe’s mirrored door and on the second occasion she saw the image of an old woman peering out. The woman wore a high-necked dress and a white hat and as the woman’s eyes turned to look at Judy so Judy fled the room in fear. Judy told her husband but he was unable to see anything in the mirror other than his own reflection. They spoke to Tim’s parents about the apparition one evening. Tim’s mother recalled that when she was very young she had once noticed a strange shimmering light from the mirror and had seen a vision inside it though not of the woman whom Judy had seen.

She had in fact forgotten about this story until her memory had been jogged by the couple relating their own story. The scene that Tim’s mother had seen had been of herself walking down her own street and talking to her neighbour as if watching a television replay. Tim’s mother recalled several other visions in the mirror and on discussing it with her brother, Wayne, found that he too had seen strange images.

As her memory unlocked she recalled an extraordinary vision she had had decades before; it is almost unbelievable that she could have forgotten it unless it was suppressed because it was so traumatic. In the mirror she had seen American troops fighting, dressed in an identical uniform to that worn by her brother, Wayne, after he joined the American Army. Watching in the mirror she saw the death of her own brother though it was two months later when the family was notified that he had been killed in action. After that she never went near the wardrobe again. Canada | Northampton | South London | Surrey | USA | USA |
