The following written confession was submitted via email: This is a memory that has been with me for so long that I’m not sure if it is real or a dream.

The following written confession was shared on Reddit: …I’m from eastern Slovakia in a city that isn’t necessarily religious, but has a lot of stories about demons and unholy things. We have one specific legend about what we call a “Zrkadlok”, a demon that mirrors whoever is looking at it, but I never really believed in that stuff.

I went with my buddy and we were pretty creeped out by what we found…

The following written confession was shared online: My husband and I stayed at a super old hotel in Santa Fe, NM. At the time I did not really believe in paranormal things/ghosts, mainly because nothing had ever happened to me.

I also hung a nice new dress on the back of the chair….
