Mirrors have long been considered a mystical attribute, a tool for communication with the other world. And, apparently, this is not just superstition. There are real examples of a different reality being reflected in mirrors.
See a ghost
The custom of covering mirrors when there is a deceased in the house did not arise by accident. This belief is substantiated as follows: for some time after the death of the deceased, the soul of the deceased is still within the walls of the house and can appear in the mirror.
Here is the story of the journalist Elena Kolokolova.
“A friend of mine, Zhenya, saw his late grandfather in the mirror. As usual, I came to see my grandfather, but found him lying on the floor. He rushed to the phone to call an ambulance, and the phone was right in front of the mirror. While he was calling, grandfather appeared in the mirror and waved his hand to Zhenya. After that, my friend hung up all the mirrors in the house, but for a long time he could not get over the shock. When he told his friends about what had happened, no one believed him. Everyone decided that Zhenya had a hallucination."
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Eugene, under the influence of stress, could have imagined a phantom. But bioenergy specialists believe that the soul of the deceased after death can remain in the mirror, as if in a trap. And if you do not cover the mirrors with anything, the ghost may soon take someone from the living with it. Or it may stay for a long time.

In the English city of Pontefract there is a mansion located at 30 East Drive. In 1966 it belonged to the Pritchard family, which consisted of a husband, wife and three children. And these people became victims of a poltergeist. So, the spirit of a black monk visited the bedroom of 14-year-old Diane Pritchard, pulling the girl out of bed by the legs.
Already today, a group of four "ghostbusters" decided to explore the mansion. In one of the filmed videos, a psychic woman named Lillian puts on a hat in the hallway in front of the mirror, and at this time a translucent silhouette standing on the stairs, similar to a man in a black hoodie, is reflected in the mirror behind her.
Guardians of energies
In addition, mirrors have the ability to preserve the energies of people and things around them. And these energies do not always carry a positive charge.
So, there is a legend about a killer mirror. In the century before last, a Russian merchant found out about his wife's betrayal and killed her in front of a huge mirror. Subsequently, the mirror became the property of one official. A few years later, the official’s wife was also found murdered in front of that mirror. The husband was accused of her death and sent to hard labor. The mirror passed to a third owner. Soon his daughter died under mysterious circumstances, and her corpse was also found in front of a mirror …
Already today, one woman bought a mirror at a flea market, which she hung in her son's room. After some time, the boy began to complain that he was tormented by suffocation, and in a dream he sees nightmares in which he drowns in a pond. The woman realized what was the matter and decided to track down the seller and inquire about where this mirror came from. It turned out that the previous owners had it hanging in the bathroom. A few years ago, their child drowned while bathing in a bathtub.
And here is a strange story that emphasizes the information connection between people and objects. Captain 2nd Rank Biryukov served on the battleship Novorossiysk. Retiring to the reserve, he took with him a small mirror from the ship as a keepsake. On October 29, 1955, an explosion took place at Novorossiysk. The battleship began to sink, more than 800 people died. At the moment of the explosion, Biryukov's house was awakened by the sound of glass. It broke the very mirror taken from the battleship.
"Wrong" reflections
We are used to the fact that the mirror image exactly repeats everything that happens on this side of the glass, just the opposite: the right side in the mirror becomes the left. But it turns out that this is not always the case!
For example, on the Web, you can find black and white video filmed in 2010 by a surveillance camera in a certain dance studio, the walls of which are hung with large mirrors. On it, the girl alone works out the dance steps, and then sits down on the floor to rest. And suddenly her mirror image turns her head, although the girl sits motionless. Then it rises to its feet, while looking at the girl sitting on the floor. Finally, the dancer gets up and leaves, while her counterpart remains in place.
The heroine of another story decided to take a selfie. The mirror is in the frame. The picture shows that in its lower right corner, behind the girl's back, someone's scary face is reflected.
Selfies of a young couple have also become popular on the Web. In the photo, a guy and a girl with Asian features are reflected in the glass. But if you look closely, you can see that the girl's reflection looks in a completely different direction.
In another photo, a girl poses in a room in front of the camera. Behind her is a mirror in which she is reflected. However, the reflection is incorrect: it looks like both the girl and her reflection are looking towards the camera. And this simply cannot be.
A resident of Volokolamsk, named Elena, once combed her hair in the bathroom in front of the mirror. As she turned to leave the bathroom, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that her reflection in the mirror was frozen still. True, this lasted only a moment. At first Elena decided that she just imagined it, but after a while she found information that the cases when the mirror image lives its own life are by no means isolated. Esotericists explained the phenomenon by the fact that the soul of a deceased person lives in the mirror. And so that it does not harm the living, you should take out the mirror that "saw" someone's death and break it into small fragments.
Elena did just that, although the apartment was rented. She lied to the hostess that the mirror had broken by accident, and promised to buy a new one. To this the woman replied that the mirror was already thirty years old, and during her lifetime her late mother, who had previously lived in that apartment, loved to look into it … Perhaps the soul of the deceased remained in the mirror, as in a trap?
The secret of black glass
There are legends about unusual black mirrors that magicians used for their own purposes. Such a mirror fell into the hands of Greg Newkirk and Dana Matthews - American experts on the supernatural and the owners of a traveling museum of paranormal and occult phenomena, the exposition of which includes objects with inexplicable properties.
A small black mirror in a gilded frame was given to the researchers by a woman named Sarah. She said that the mirror was acquired via the Internet by her mother, who was carried away by fortune telling and the occult. Soon after that, Sarah noticed that - her mother closed in herself and practically stopped communicating with her daughter. Gradually, she even stopped leaving the house.
Alarmed Sarah, visiting her mother, in between times asked her to show the mirror. It turned out that an elderly woman kept it wrapped in black cloth in a closet. She explained to her daughter that the mirror is "evil and shows terrible things." Then Sarah took him with her. She did not dare to break or throw away the mirror, fearing that in return it would harm her, and, having found the coordinates of Greg and Dana through the Web, turned to them.
When Greg and Dana toured with their exhibit in Perryville, Kentucky, one woman was horrified to see her own corpse in the mirror. Other visitors saw incomprehensible images in him, and their own features in the mirror were distorted. For example, his reflection smiled at one visitor with an ominous smile, another saw a double behind the glass, peering over his shoulder. The third saw his reflection twisted, his face mutilated, as if he had been the victim of an accident. The fourth even discovered in the mirror the ghost of his late aunt. Once, one of the visitors to the exhibition touched the mirror with his palm, and an imprint remained on the glass, which he managed to wash off only with holy water.
You can try to explain the phenomena listed in this article. But will these explanations be true - who knows? Mirrors continue to keep their eternal secret.
