Ghost Story of the Mirror in the Castle :: Ghost Stories Urban Legends

This yarn was told to a friend of mine by his become. My friend was 10 years old when he first heard the story and is 20 years old now. He grew up in northern Oklahoma and his family moved to Maryland when he was eight. His father, his younger brother and he were on a road trip and my friend and his brother asked their father to tell them a story to help them pass the time. My friend does not recall what his father said ab bug out where he heard the story from, but it goes more or less as followsOnce upon a time (chuckles), there were devil brothers. These two brothers loved to swindle outdoors and one day, as it was getting on into evening, they wandered into a graveyard and met another particular boy who wanted to play with them. So, they played with the boy for a while and eventually the little boy asked if the brothers would like to see the castle. The brothers agreed to go along and off they went following behind the little boy. The boy took them to a castle in the middle o f the graveyard and took them inside to a room with big reflect on one wall. (In a really weak and timid voice) Follow me, said the boy. Let me show you where I live. (Begins speaking more intensely) At that, he stepped through the mirror and into the castle on the other side and disappeared around a corner. The two brothers shared a concerned look, but in the end stepped into the mirror and came out the other side. Whereas the castle they had been brought to at first seemed abandoned for centuries, this castle felt and looked as though it were currently inhabited. (Speaking with a sense of awe or admiration) They wandered out of the bedroom and after a time found them selves in a dinning room with a table set for many people and food for thought laid out like a feast. At that table sat a number of ornately dressed adults. Some in very beauteous robes or very flashy dresses, all enjoying the feast and each others company. (Changes to a concerned or anxious tone) The brothers tri ed to ask the person hot them what the occasion of the feast was , but the person utterly ignored them. In fact, when one of the brothers tried to tug at the adults sleeve he found that his hand went straight through it.
