060: The Conjure Chest and Bela Lugosi’s Mirror

We have another gander at our Cursed Objects that we store in Nopeville. Today, we have The Conjure Chest, which is a chest of drawers that had a curse placed upon it that plagued generations of a family, and Bela Lugosi's alleged mirror, a mirror with an obscure past that could potentially hold dark spirits.
