Product Information

While cleaning up the broken mirror, Jason finds the warning note from earlier and decides to throw it away. Suddenly, a large, hairy, snake-like creature emerges from his wooden dresser, and the monster asks if its note was received. Seine Schwester Claudia hingegen finde ich als Charakter oder besser gesagt vom Charakter her wirklich grauenhaft. Durch die ständigen Streiche und ihre überhebliche Art nervt sie einfach nur und das macht sie nicht sonderlich sympathisch. Eigentlich ein bisschen schade. Außerdem wäre ich der Meinung gewesen, dass man sie vielleicht hätte noch ein bisschen mehr in die Handlung einbauen können, besonders, als Jason wegen dem Geist so richtig in der Klemme sitzt.

So many questions until the twist ending I had, and the twist ending made me forget all about the questions because it was so dumb I stopped caring.

Despite the fact that this book is a part of Goosebumps Series 2000, Ghost in the Mirror is the only book in the series to be published in the year 2000.My art is influenced by mythology, the occult, and the macabre, but I try to give my pieces a sense of classical maturity,” Locascio tells My Modern Met. “I have more ideas than I know what to do with, but I tend not to begin a piece until I have a unique take on the theme, and hopefully something creative that people haven’t seen before, even if the characters or concepts are familiar.” Staring into a mirror in a dimly lit room for a prolonged period can cause one to hallucinate. [6] Facial features may appear to "melt", distort, disappear, and rotate, while other hallucinatory elements, such as animal or strange faces, may appear. Giovanni Caputo of the University of Urbino writes that this phenomenon, which he calls the "strange-face illusion", is believed to be a consequence of a "dissociative identity effect", which causes the brain's facial-recognition system to misfire in a currently unidentified way. [6] Other possible explanations for the phenomenon include illusions attributed, at least partially, to the perceptual effects of Troxler's fading [7] [6] and possibly apophenia, [8] or even self-hypnosis.

She might not be called Mary, but the violent deeds of Countess Erzébet Báthory (Elizabeth Bathory when anglicanized) make her a strong contender for the figure of Bloody Mary. From her base in the now very-ruined castle of Čachtice in Slovakia, she sadistically tortured and brutally murdered anywhere between 100 and 650 young girls. Owing to the nature of our evidence, we’ll never know the exact number. If the figures are even conservatively accurate, however, this would make her the most prolific female serial killer in history. Likewise, if you gaze into your own eyes in front of a mirror, your whole face will start to look strange if you look long enough. You can try this optical illusion out for yourself—no mirror needed. There's a perfectly logical explanation for this. The longer you stare in a mirror, the more likely you are to start seeing things that aren't there—even if you haven't been forewarned that something ghastly will appear. This is partly due to a phenomenon called the Troxler effect. When you stare at the same object for a prolonged period of time, there comes a point when your brain adapts or gets used to unchanging stimuli. As a result, your neurons cancel the information out, and the image often appears blurry, faded, or distorted until you blink or look around.

As the blood queen of the English Reformation, Mary had at least 280 people burned at the stake for resisting her re-Catholicisation of England. These purges, known to history as the “Marian Persecutions”, were aimed at those who remained loyal to Protestantism—a religious sect embraced by Mary’s father, Henry VIII, and his son and brief successor, Edward VI, but rejected by the Catholically-raised Mary. And not only did Mary execute those who refused to renounce their Protestantism, she also burned people who did. In a chapter, the protagonist's parents go to work and then he stumbles upon the garage that has been damaged. So basically, his parents went to work without looking at the garage. Na. doesn't happen.
