As an 8-year-old during school recess, I observed a group of kids gathered around a storage room, shouting and cautioning others to stay away from the door because they claimed “there was an eyeball staring back at you!”
Intrigued by their warning, despite their genuine fear evident in their pale faces, I couldn’t resist investigating further. Bending down to peer through the keyhole, I indeed spotted an eyeball staring back at me, sending shivers down my spine. The incident left me trembling, and I was promptly escorted to the nurse’s office for comfort.
Later that day, a janitor investigated the mysterious occurrence in the storage room. It turned out that someone had simply placed a mirror against the door, and the “eyeball” we saw was merely our own reflection!
