Haunted Clock

Haunted Clock?

I own & operate an antique clock repair business in my home. I also collect antique clocks. I have one clock in my collection dating to about 1840 - 1845. When I first purchased this clock I had to do some restoration work on the case. While working on the clock I would always get a very cold feeling and actual "chill" bumps completely covering my entire body. The hair on my arms and legs actually stands on end. The clock is a simple case design with an original mercury mirror in the lower door. I have noticed that I get this feeling while looking into or handling the mirror however I have never seen anything in the mirror. The restoration on this clock is complete, however this clock sits on a shelf in my shop, while I am working my back is towards the clock. Many times I get an overwhelming feeling of cold chills and the very intense feeling that I am being watched from behind.

I have over 90 antique clocks in my collection all dating from the late 1700s to about 1915 and this is the only clock I get this feeling from.

The lower half of
the door contains the original mercury backed mirror.

On the inside of the door,
written in pencil it reads:
(names removed) - 1846.
