Scientists who tested the glass found microscopic silver imperfections that distort light in “human-like” motion patterns.
Locals claim the mirror “shows you as you were before guilt.” They’ve tried to destroy it five times — and each time, the reflection appears again in a nearby window. Maybe Snow White wasn’t a fable at all. Maybe it was a warning.
