00:00It's August 13, 2008.
00:02Nine-year-old Lila vanished without a trace during a game of hide-and-seek.
00:06Her family and friends are growing increasingly worried as the hours pass by and they find no sign of her.
00:12The last place she was seen was at her aunt's house in rural Vermont.
00:15And as the sun sets, the search for Lila begins in earnest.
00:19The house is old, the kind where every room has a creek, and nothing quite feels level.
00:24Each floorboard seems to tell the story of another era, whispering tales of laughter, life, and loss.
00:30In the midst of the chaos, one detail stands out, a narrow hallway closet with a full-length mirror inside.
00:37This was Lila's favorite place to hide.
00:39So when the family began their frantic search, this is where they looked first.
00:43But what they found was not Lila, nor any sign of her.
00:47The closet was empty, yet something was amiss.
00:50The mirror inside was spotless, undisturbed, as if she had never been there at all.
00:55As the night wears on, the family and local police search everywhere but the mirror.
01:00They check under beds, behind curtains, in attics and basements.
01:03They even drain the nearby creek, fearing that she may have wandered off.
01:08But Lila is nowhere to be found.
01:10Just as they're about to call it a night, one of the family members remembers the closet.
01:15They hadn't checked the mirror.
01:16Could she be hiding behind it?
01:18As they part the curtains, they see it.
01:21Lila's backpack is lying on the floor beside the closet.
01:24They reach in, their hands trembling, and pull open the door.
01:27But there's no sign of Lila.
01:29Days turn into a week, and still there is no sign of Lila.
01:33The family is distraught.
01:35Their hopes of finding their daughter alive fading with each passing hour.
01:39Yet, amidst their grief, there is one unsettling detail that refuses to fade.
01:43The mirror.
01:44It stands in the house like a silent witness to Lila's disappearance,
01:48its surface as smooth and reflective as ever.
01:51One evening, a few weeks after Lila went missing, her aunt is walking down that same hallway.
01:57As she passes the closet, she stops cold.
01:59In the mirror, she sees a glimpse of a small figure standing behind her.
02:03She turns around, but there is no one there.
02:06At first, she dismisses it as a trick of the light,
02:08or perhaps a figment of her grief-addled imagination.
02:12But the sightings don't stop.
02:13Other family members and guests begin to see the same thing,
02:17a small figure in the mirror's reflection.
02:20Always still, always watching, but never actually in the room.
02:24Fear takes root in the house.
02:26Whispers circulate, stories of a haunted mirror that traps the soul of a young girl.
02:31Some say, it's just a trick of the light.
02:34Others believe it's the ghost of Lila, forever trapped in the mirror's reflection, unable to move on.
02:41The family is torn.
02:42On one hand, they want to remove the mirror to rid their house of the haunting specter that seems to lurk within it.
02:49On the other hand, they feel a sense of responsibility toward Lila to keep the mirror,
02:53to hold on to it as a potential link to their missing daughter.
02:57In the end, they decide to keep the mirror.
03:00They take it down, wrap it in cloth, and store it in the attic,
03:03hoping that by keeping it safe, they might one day be able to lay their daughter to rest.
03:08Fifteen years have passed since Lila vanished, yet the mirror remains.
03:12It sits in the attic, shrouded in darkness, untouched by anyone but the bravest of souls who dare to venture into the attic.
03:20Some say the mirror is still haunted, that the ghost of Lila still lingers within it,
03:25trapped forever in its glassy depths.
03:27And every once in a while, when the light hits it just right, you can see her, standing behind you, smiling.
03:33Thank you for listening.

03:38Until then, sleep well and beware of mirrors,
03:41because sometimes what we see in them is only a reflection of what we fear the most.
