I used to believe that if you stared in a mirror for an hour or longer and then backed away your reflection/and time would freeze. The only way to unfreeze it would be to get back in the same exact possition and stare for the same amount of time.

I'm not sure if I believed this or not, or just parts of it, but when I was about six years old my older brother (who was totally mean at around eight years old) told me that I was so ugly Mum and Dad had to pay for people to act as me on the other side of mirrors (not just in our house but everywhere I ever went) so I would not see what I looked like and could have a 'normal' life without the stigma of knowing I was so ugly. He also said this was why our family was 'poor'. He said it was really tricky getting people who looked like the rest of the family to act like them behind the 'mirrors'. It was a pretty convuluted story for him to make up which might be why I thought it was true. What a mean big brother! The absolute meanest bit was that he said the person they got to act as me was just 'average looking, not too pretty' so that I wouldn't think I was beautiful or anything like that. They didn't want me to be overconfident. Ouch!

My Grandmother would tell us that if we looked into a mirror at night we would see the devils face. Until today I have a kreepy feeling when passing a mirror in darkness

I used to think that a mirror was my twin! I used to talk to the mirror and everythin. I gave it high fives, and whenever I left the bathroom or my room I would wave goodbye. it was my own personal twin! I am completly weird!

Twin...

I used to believe that if you could make a room that was all mirrors then
when you turned off the light the room would still stay lit........
turns out that something like this is the basis for lasers.

When I was a little girl, my grandmother had a long mirror over her kitchen sink. Having aspirations to being a dancer, I loved to whirl and pose in front of that mirror. Or, I did until my grandmother told me that if I kept staring at the mirror, I would see the Devil. For years afterward, I was terrified of staring too long into any mirror--and most especially into Grandma's!

I was told that if you looked in the mirror at midnight on halloween, you would see the face of your true love. I even tried it, and scared myself stupid cuz I thought I was going to turn into a girl.

I'm scared of mirrors because I think that there are ghosts in mirrors

I still believe that there is something wrong with mirrors. I used to believe that I could be faster than my reflection at the mirror so, I used to move really fast in front of mirrors, trying to cheat my image.

I used to believe that if I looked in the mirror, exactly on the stroke of midnight, the devil would appear behind me. If it was anywhere near midnight, I would keep my eyes tight shut as I passed a mirror.

I used to believe that if you looked in the mirror after you flushed the toilet, a monster would grab you and snatch you into it!

When I was little i thought that the mirrors in the bathroom were actually cameras and people were watching me, so i sang and danced for them and even did toliet paper commercials.

i have had, since I was about six, the belief, that something is always behind me, and that I never notice it until i see it in a mirror. I think that if i see something about to jump on me in a mirror that i will be paralyzed with terror. This belief causes me to always stand at odd angles to mirrors, so that i only see a wall in the mirror.

I used to believe that every mirror was the trick kind people could look through - regardless of where it was or how big it was. I'm 16 now, and I still wont dress or undress infront of a mirror, and I LOATHE dressing rooms. Someone might be watching.
