| 1966 | Bellview Elementary opens on land donated by Peter R. Bell. The mirrors in the bathrooms are "salvage" from an abandoned hospital. (Nobody asks which hospital.) |
| 1971 | The second-floor girls' bathroom is closed for one week. Reason: "plumbing." A plumber later says he found no plumbing problems, but every mirror had a hairline crack in the shape of a hand. |
| 1979 | First disappearance: Todd Harker, 7, vanished on the playground during recess. His classmates said a girl in a red dress was sitting on the jungle gym. There is no jungle gym. |
| 1986 | Peter R. Bell dies. His last words: "I left something in the mirror. It needs to be fed." |
| 1992 | The second floor sealed. The principal publishes a letter: "Some children do not know when recess is over." |
| 1994 | A new mirror is installed in Room 6. The next morning it already had fingerprints on the inside. They were child-sized. |
| 1998 | I start this site. 🪞 |
