Learn about the killer mirror 'Louis Alvarez 1743'

For more than 200 years, it has caused nearly 40 French deaths by blood spill.

Portrait of the murderer

This mirror was crafted and produced by artisan Louis Alvarez in 1743 in France . Only 2 days after completing the mirror, the worker, who was normally healthy, suddenly died in the factory due to a blood spill. No one relates his sudden departure to the mirror. It was released for sale at the grocery store and began a series of death-spreading journeys.

The second victim after Alvarez is Tesemer, the owner of the flour shop in the port city of Marseille. Arriving at the birthday gift shop for his wife, he felt like the mirror and hooked to buy it. That evening, in her splendid mansion, the grand birthday celebration took place. After taking the mirror out of his wife's gift box, hand-in-hand, he brought the finely carved mirror to look. Suddenly, Tesemer felt a chill all over his body, shuddering, his head heavy, the scenery before him unsteady, wobbly. The wife saw that and hurriedly supported him, and brought her into the room, but unfortunately, he left. Like Louis, he was diagnosed to die of cerebral hemorrhage. The very sad young wife sold and gave all his personal belongings to not recall the old memories. The mirror " haunted " lost from there.

This killer mirror continued to "behave " on 22 years later, ie 1765 . Its third victim is Arnold, a young editor of a publisher. He bought this mirror at a shop on the sidewalk of Paris's capital and brought it to his bedside in the bedroom . Soon after, Arnold went missing and when he came to his apartment to find, everyone was stunned to see that he had died many days in the same apartment. It's scary, the main cause is still the brain spill.

The fourth victim is Henry, an antique store owner. While walking at the old market, he caught this finely carved mirror and bought it and brought it to the store in hopes of selling this cheap mirror at a high price. Unfortunately, three days later, Henry suddenly died at the store while enjoying a cup of milk coffee after lunch. In particular, the cause of his death is due to . blood brain spill.

Rumors of this ghost mirror began to spread throughout France since a close friend of Henry attended the funeral and unconsciously, stunned when he saw the mirror 'Alvarez 1743'. He was also a close friend of Arnold - the third victim of the murder mirror. A few years ago, when he attended Arnold's funeral, he also caught it. He relates the deaths of two friends and this evil mirror and they both die from a blood spill. Is there any human or fruit relationship here? Too frightened, even though he did not have any evidence, he still advised Henry's family to take the mirror away.

The incident became even more monstrous as the mirror continued to cause a grim death for the next two victims, Mr. Hanmer and his wife (Mrs. Jura) after 70 years of being lost. Mrs. Jura bought this antique mirror in a walk and brought it to her desk at home. Unexpectedly, that accidentally caused the unjust death for both of them soon after. Both died in turn on the way to the emergency hospital because the cause is still a blood spill.

There have been more than 20 more "unfortunate" deaths over the next 100 years . Most before they died, they were all very healthy, not addicted or suffering from any disease. They only died within three days after contacting the demon mirror and the cause of their death was the same. Among them, there are people who do not know this mirror and just casually use it; But there are also people who know, curious, deliberately use. Anyway, they all have to take death.

The 38th victim of the mirror is Dr. Smith. As a scientist, he did not believe that this mirror had . love people. He decided to lift the veil of this mystery. But only after reaching the mirror not long ago, he felt dizzy, dizzy, headache and died immediately after instructing his family members to take care of the mirror to harm this person. Of course, the cause of his death was still the same as the previous 37.

The original hypothesis

Dr. Smith's mysterious death prompted the urgent French Association of Antique Collections to publish in front of the press the danger of approaching the mirror. Many scientists have a special interest around this mystery; But no one dared to keep it with me to study only because of its ' trophy '. They raced to make their own judgments but could not prove them.

Since the Middle Ages, there have been many scholars who believe that mirrors such as iron sheets absorb toxic substances around them and evaporate gradually, affecting the health of the exposed person. However, this hypothesis does not stand firm if it is true that the mirror surface is capable of absorbing toxic vapors, just washing with cold water can dissolve and clean them. In addition, it is not possible to explain the cause of such a great damage power of the mirror.

Russian scientists expand the problem further. They claim that the mirror is not only able to absorb tangible chemicals, but can also absorb 'invisible information energy' . Tangible material can wash away, but with invisible energy, it cannot be done. However, they couldn't fully explain why while the other mirrors were completely normal, this bizarre mirror had that invisible energy. In addition, some people also suspect that the mirror is coated with toxic additives but no one dares to approach the mirror to . do a test experiment. The more time passed, the more mysterious the veil that covered the mirror 'devilish' grew thicker, making it look no longer under the ' scientific eye ' but believing that there was a 'strength' inside. Strong supernatural ' mystery. Even, there was a horror film built up from this mysterious story, adding to the story of a thrilling, frightening story.

Dared to remove the veil of mystery

In April 2005, Waine (American archaeologist) made a flight to Paris asking permission from the French Society of Antiques Collection to investigate this 'ghost' mirror once more. Whether Dr. Waine will become the 39th victim of the murder mirror becomes the focus of the media and people. However, his proposal was not approved because they did not want to witness an additional tragedy caused by the mirror.

Undeterred, he went to see Dr. Smith's grandson. At Waine's sincere effort and sincerity, this nephew helped bring a wooden casket with a sealed mirror delivered to him. After obtaining the mirror, he quickly flew back to the US to study.

Ignoring all of his wife's hindrances, he was determined to take the "crazy" action of getting to know the truth. After years of sleeping in the dark, covered with dust, the ghostly mirror finally saw the sun. He conducted a number of studies that examined and recognized the mirror's age less than 100 years. So it is very likely that the mirror face has been replaced by someone else and so the beautifully carved wooden frame is the killer.

After leaving the university library and returning home, entering the lab, he was dismayed to see two white mice working in an iron cage in front of a mirror that had been dead hard ever since. The ghost mirror once again 'works in love with monsters'. During surgery, he was stunned when he saw that in his brain they were full of stagnant blood. They were 'gone ' because of blood spill.

To test his prediction, he peeled a few pieces of chips on a wooden frame of the mirror to model the experiment. According to the results, the wooden frame of the 'ghost' mirror is made of coura wood - a very rare tree that has become extinct for over 100 years.

According to research documents, coura wood contains a very toxic substance, when the flow of natural light is stronger, the poison from the volatile wood forms a lot of toxic gas. This gas causes the inhaled brain's blood vessels to immediately become clogged, cracked and quickly bleed to the brain and die. Dr. Waine escaped the death scythe due to the habit of closing the window blinds when entering the laboratory and in good condition. When he left the room, in order to stay fresh, the wife opened the window, the sunlight rushed into the room, causing the poison to evaporate, causing the death of the two white mice.

However, when he was very happy and prepared to publish the results of research to the scientific community and the media, the fire brigade when the mirror was "wingless". Because there was no original artifact, he could not prove that the wood chips were cut from the frame of the killer mirror. The mystery that seemed to be revealed now is in danger of being buried .
