The story of the Purple Mirror is about a cursed phrase that will kill anyone who still remembers it by age 20. Years ago, a young Japanese girl was given a mirror by her parents. She loved the mirror, so much so that she would look at herself with it every day. She was desperate to look beautiful, to the point of developing anorexia. She became painfully thin and frail, but whenever she looked into her mirror, she saw herself as beautiful. One day while painting her mirror purple, she began to see who she really was through her reflection,.. and she was mortified. She hated the way she looked, and she broke her mirror. On her 20th birthday, she was preparing for her big birthday when she was struck by a car and killed. As she laid there dying, her last words were “...purple mirror...purple mirror...purple mirror...”.
After the funeral, her parents searched her room and discovered that her broken mirror was gone. Rumors began to spread; some who attended her funeral died under mysterious circumstances. Since then, the phrase “purple mirror” is cursed and whoever remembers it by their 20th birthday will die.
