I'm a big fan of the Corries. They were the band (duo, actually) that got me hooked on Scottish music. Very traditional for the most part, but also some modernized versions of other songs. Many that are based on the poetry of Robert Burns. And one of them actually wrote the song "Flower of Scotland" which is a sort of unofficial Scottish anthem. Their rendition of songs like "Dumbarton's Drums" always makes me tear up a little.
The mirror face thing doesn't bother me, just the idea of a person/entity watching from outside. I had a dream once that it was an evil alien.
Islander - great story! I'll bet you jumped several feet!

When my grandmother was 81, she believed that sharks might jump out of the toiled and attack her. Really. Hope it's not genetic.

You're alone at home. It's dark outside. You glance at a window, and suddenly, out of the blackness, a face is staring in at you!
That's mine.

I'm not clear - can you, in fact, run and not hide? Can you hide, and still run? Oh dear.
