Hi, witches. I'm Blair Bathory, and this is the Something Scary podcast. Thank you so much for being here, whether this is your first time or you're one of the brave souls who join us every week. And once again, I'm bringing you a video version of the podcast. We're working really hard to get this out to you every single week.

And I know a lot of things have changed and there's new things and elements being added.

So I appreciate the constructive criticism in the comments I'm trying to read and respond to as many as I can.

So keep it up.

Sometimes we begin questioning what's real and what's reality.

Once you start down that path, there's no turning back.

The line between truth and delusion blurs, and the shadows and voices around you grow sharper.

What feels safe today may unravel tomorrow.

Beware of the whispers in the dark, the flickers in the corner

of your eye. These thoughts will grip your mind, and once they do, you can trust nothing,

not even yourself. First, the mirror never lies, followed by too late to listen. Finally,

in our last story, descending into madness. Before we get to

our stories, I wanted to quickly ask if you would please take a minute to send this podcast to someone

you know who loves horror as much as you do. We know there are hundreds of podcasts out there,

and the biggest influence on what people listen to is what their friends recommend.

I appreciate your support and please send this to somebody that you think would love to hear a scary story.

So, want to hear something scary? Beware, they're watching.

Sometimes the things we invite into our lives have plans to never leave, like in this story inspired by Shea Lee.

It all started when I was eight.

Me and my family were having a get-together with friends who were family themselves.

The older boys, being 12 and whatnot, decided to play Bloody Mary in one of the bedrooms,

with wardrobes with mirrors on them covering the entire wall.
