I remember the first time that I looked in a mirror and realized, "Hey, that's what I look like!"

I used to think that there was a whole other world behind the mirror that was just like ours, only way more exiciting. Oh, and my reflection was my twin.

When I was like 6, I used to look at myself in the mirror , and wonder if the mirror was "lying" to me, and if that was really what I looked like. So almost every time I would my mom what I looked like, every time she said the same thing- short w/brown hair, round cute nose, brown eyes, and lots of freckles. For some reason I never believed her though, and i thought she was just on the mirror "SIDE" so every time I passed the mirror I yelled LIAR. I REALLY THOUGHT I WAS LIKE DIFFERENT LOOKING!

I was a strange child- LOL

I used to believe that when I was asleep, "Mirror people" (compliments of my Aunt...) came out and raided my stash of candy...So, I stayed up for a while night, sitting in the dark waiting for the monsterous Mirror People to come flocking in. After my door opened, I found out that it was actually my cousin getting into my Halloween stash...

When I was little, I believed that there was a whole other world inside the mirror, but it was exactly like the one we lived in.

Everytime I left a mirror, I'd say goodbye to the person in the mirror who looked like me and wished them a nice day.

I used to strongly suspect that every mirror was actually a tw-way mirror. This was easy to check at home, and I was pretty sure the house bathroom was okay since it faced an outside wall, and I checked closely to make sure there weren't any holes or anything like that.

Public restrooms on the other hand...

i used to belive that in mirrors, there was a person, and when you stood in front of the mirror, they quickly drew you. i belived this until aroud the age of 7

I used to believe that I had a twin who was imprisoned in my mirror, because she was bad.
I used to fight with her (er..me) all the time; I thought she was mocking me.

When I was at middle school my friend told me that if you look in a mirror in the dark and said the word "Candyman" you would die. I think it came from the film Candyman which Ive never seen but to this day Im still terrified of looking at my reflection in a mirror when its dark.

When I was eight, I watched "Watcher in the Woods". If you have seen the movie -- it's pretty creepy for a Disney movie. For the next 10 months, I was afraid to go to the bathroom alone because I was afraid I'd see the "mirror girl". I had to ask my mom to come with me. When she wasn't available I would go as fast as I could, heart beating in fear, and never looking in mirror for fear I might see a fictional character from a stupid Disney movie that shouldn't be a Disney movie.

i always thought that my reflection in a mirror was just another person who did everything that i did at the exact moment. i would always try to move real fast and unexpectedly to see if the reflection could mimic me. then i tried to go through to the other side to beat that guy up but he would always push me out.

When I was little I watched a movie with cops interviewing a suspect and saw the one-sided mirrors they used to watch the people in the interrogation room without them knowing. For the longest time after watching that movie I always thought people were behind my mirror watching me , so i would try and hide from it while I changed clothes.

When I did the BLOODY MARY thing I saw something..... Now I know the truth.I would not go near my bedroom mirror for 3 months.

BLOODY MARY

When I was little i saw this chapter of teh rugrats that they see that inside the mirror everything is backwards... So when I saw myself on it I said hi to him and started chatting XD. My other self's name was Barney :D and I thought that barney would come and take his mommy to my house and take my place. Sometiems he was my friend but others i was scared. But when my mom broke the mirror i cried cuz barney died Xd

I used to think that if a mirror with me in it breaks, I break.

When I was a kid, I was horribly afraid that vampires would come and suck my blood. Since they can't be seen in mirrors, I was afraid that when I stood in front of the bathroom mirror to brush my teeth, one would come and attack me. So, I always stand with my back to the wall (which is directly across from the mirror) so if one comes in, I can see him before he attacks. How that would help, I'm not sure but it did make me feel safer. :D

When I was little, there was a huge mirror reflecting the staircase of my aunt and uncle's house. Well, everytime we were over there, Grandpa would walk up the stairs and his reflection would show in the mirror. I was shocked and amazed because I thought Grandpa was in the mirror! I thought there was a secret entrance that I didn't know about and that when I got as old as Grandpa I would be told about it or found it.
