  Thread: “Someone at the Landing?”

  Threat Level: Moderate

  There is something about mirrors that unnerves people—and not without reason.

  They are thresholds. Not just literal mirrors to other worlds, but doorways to them. Simulations of the real. Shapes built to pass as familiar until you stare too long and realize the current version of reality you are seeing is only skin-deep.

  This thread, posted by user “SpiralSleep,” appears at first to be a textbook case of liminal distress: nocturnal awakening, unease at thresholds, subtle environmental shifts. But several elements are worth deeper concern.

  First: the mirror itself—old, affixed to the wall, reportedly part of the house upon purchase. Second: the progressive architectural divergence within the reflection. A hallway that grows deeper. A staircase that descends…against gravity. Details shifting out of sync with the physical home, but never overtly enough to be dismissed as illusion.

  Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  And third: the presence. Still, silent, and…constructed. Not simply a figure. A form that resembles the human shape—but not the way a human stands. As if built from memory. As if something on the other side of the glass is trying to learn what “person” means.

  I have reviewed at least three other cases where mirrors began showing alternate spatial features—usually staircases or hallways that do not exist. In each, the subject reported subtle physical anomalies before mental ones. In one instance, a man claimed his reflection was breathing out of sync days before he realized the mirror no longer showed his house.

  No conclusive evidence has been recovered. But I caution this:

  Not all mirrors reflect. Some render.

  And some are still buffering.

  If you catch your own reflection lagging behind…

  It may not be you that is out of time.
