So before we get started, let me get a few questions out of the way.

It probably goes that saying, but I won't be providing the actual address of where the

hard-review motel is located in Texas, so don't ask.

Like most urban legends of this nature, it's impossible to say for certain where it's

started or how it would grow to be popular, so your guess is as good as mine on this.

Although I will be providing you some step-by-step instructions on the ritual, please note that

my experience is different than others, and therefore, if you do attempt it, there's

no guarantee that you'll fear the same.

The hard-review is one of those mom-and-pop own motels that survived the test of time thanks

to its reputation for always having at least one room available.

Some say this is because the owners do a terrible job cleaning up after their guests, and

can never have all rooms ready in case of a surge of bookings.

Others claim it's because their budget's tight, and the owners know that they don't

get the usual clientele like other pit stops.

That's likely due to the reputation of the mirror, but that's not good ahead of ourselves.

The first thing you should know about the hard-review is that people don't come for a good

time, or even a good night's rest.

It's near to the highway and sits catty corner from a 24-hour truck stop.

Most business is taken over by the name Bran Hotel's a few miles down the road.

No people come here for a purpose, but that is, well very from person to person, of course,

but for me, it's related to my wife, Virginia.

Six years she's been gone, due to an overdose from drugs.
