A mirror never lies.
A young couple was preparing to go view a few new homes. They wanted to move out of the urban area into a quiet suburban area. Both were sitting on their bed, busy putting their shoes on when the man looked at the large mirror on the wall in front of him, he could see the reflection of his son, peeking out from behind the large laundry bin, He sighs and tells his son to go get dressed. His wife tells him that she'd already told their son to get dressed and that he was in his room. He looked in the mirror again and still saw the reflection of his son. He turned and looked at the laundry bin. His son was gone.

Confused, he got up and looked behind the bin but his son wasn't there. He went to his son's room and found him busy struggling to tie his shoes. His wife came to the room and saw that their son was wearing a dirty shirt. While she was looking through his closet for a clean shirt for him to wear, her husband went back to their room and looked in the mirror. There he saw the ghost of their son's twin brother who'd died during birth.
