Segment With Perpetrator Seen in Mirror - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

SomeofShane · 10-26-2017, 10:47 AM

I have a distinct memory of being scared as a child by a segment where someone sees a perpetrator's reflection in a mirror or window before noticing them physically. Was there such a segment on UM or could it have been another show? I remember it terrified me but haven't come across it in the years since!

Maybe Edward Howard Bell?

Definitely Edward Howard Bell

Yeah, I was going to say Bell too. This case happened about an hour and a half from where I live. The victim was in the bathroom getting ready when she saw him through the mirror.

This part of the story is usually overshadowed by Bell's original crime, Larry Dickens, in Houston. To distract from it a bit some more, Matthew McConaughey played Larry.

I believe this is the moment you're referring to.

Oh sweet Lord, that's it! Thanks everyone. Horrifying.

Thought maybe it was the ghost story from season 2 where the old lady saw a man walk past her door.

I see I came late to the party

Maybe I'm mis-remembering, but wasn't this woman's story somewhat doubted due to Bell's whereabouts at the time she reported this?

Doubted by some but never confirmed. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, though. This woman saw him up close, beat the hell out of him and then chased him out of her house with a gun. You're not exactly going to forget that face.

Completely off-topic, but I don’t want to know WHAT porn you’re watching....

Maybe I should have clarified, I don't think she fabricated anything, just thought someone suggested she misidentified Bell.
