The haunted house

Somewhere in the countryside, there is a pretty big house owned by a family of two members: a mother and her unique son. The house was full of mirrors. One night, neighbors heard loud voices coming from the house. Since then, the family disappeared in such a mysterious way. Neighbors haven't known yet what exactly happened at that dark night. And nobody could get into their home to check things out. The house has had a bad reputation.

As time goes by, a new family came to settle in the house despite the neighbors' warnings because the house was left and nobody could get into it and see what happened.In fact, this family no longer afford to rent a house in the center of London, that's why they decided to go to a new house way cheaper than the old one. The new family included Peter and his both parents. In order to keep Peter away from troubles, his parents decided to first explore the house before Peter gets in.

Peter's parents got in and saw frightening things. The mother who used to live in the house was drowned in the bathtub, her head was bleeding and her eyes were looking sharp at the mirror in front of her on which was written this sentence:"Enjoy taking a bath with insects".
It sounds like the woman had sliped and broke her head. While her son was also dead, the boy seemed like he had jumped from the room at the roof when he was running away from a savage animal because it was written in his diaries that he hates dogs and can't stand seeing them. His legs had clear marks of a dog's bite.

Peter parents were driven crazy, they couldn't understand what happened to family. Two members dead in a mysterious way and both of them were hidding theirselves from mirrors. However, they sticked to the idea of staying at the house for a while before they will have gathered the sufficient money to move back to their old house. They just pulled the two corpses away and burried them without telling anything to neighbours and their son neither. But, Peter was watching everything without letting his parents know he was present.

Before his parents finished the burial, he hurried and went back to the car as if he didn't move. When the night came, he heard his mother screaming so loud and his dad was drinking so much water insanely without stopping. Cup after cup, his mother told Peter that he did so after he went to the bathroom and starred at the mirror. He was screaming and saying :"Oh my god! I feel an unbearable spicy taste in my tongue! Help me". His dad didn't stop even though his wife was preventing him. Peter smartly understood that there was a curse coming from all the mirrors and when someone stares at them, he gets mad when his mind start hallucinating and see his phobias and things he hates manifesting in front of him. The same happened to the killed mother when she thought insects were attacking her in the bathtub and the fake dog who was running after the dead guy. And when they try to stop the trigger, they finish killing theirselves. Then Peter smashed the mirror and then suddenly his dad stopped. Since then the three members lived at peace without any further troubles. They even changed their mind and decided to stay in the big house surrounded by the stunning nature.
