When I was about 8, a boy in my class told me that if you looked into the mirror at midnight you would see Satan. Ever since then I havent been able to look into a mirror in a dark room!
For as long as I can remember I've thought that there are people watching from behind fitting room / public bathroom mirrors. Someone told me this ridiculous trick to see if it's a "real mirror" or not... and even though I know it's preposterous, I still do the mirror check every time I'm in a room with a mirror. I'm 26!
When I was young, I thought that if you turned a mirror around, you could see the back of your head. I was always in a bad mood, because it never worked for me!
i used to believe that if you looked in a mirror in the dark you'd see you're future but if you saw it it would go horribly wrong and you'd be miserable...i still dont look in mirrors in the dark..and nobody can make me.
When I was younger I coulnt look at mirrors.I got confused and thought that there were two of me,and I didnt know which one was the real me.
i thought that bathroom mirrors were cameras and that perverted people were watching my every move so i would go to the bathroom in really elaborate ways to maintains my privacy. what further enhanced that believe was that my uncle turned out to be a child molester and i thought that meant he spyed on kids through mirrors because no one told me what really happened.
when i was five, my older brother made me watch a friday the 13th marathon. then when it was over he told me that if looked in a mirror and said a dead person's name 99 times than monsters would come and kill me in my sleep. he made me say a dead realitives name in my bedroom mirror 98 times. i am married with three kids and still cant sleep where i can see a mirror for fear i might utter that horid name one last fatal time. thanks for the night terrors matt...
I don't know where it came from, but I was always scared to wipe away the fog from the mirror when I got out of the shower. I thought either the guy in the mirror would be doing something different than me or it would be a skeleton. Mirrors still freak me out.
When I was about 7 I stared at my reflection for minutes to see if it would jump out and try to scare me.
Another time I tried to have a staring contest with my reflection. Soon I found out it always ended in a tie.
when i was about 3 or 4 my sister would tell me if u go in the bathroom with the lights off look in the mirror spin around 3 times and say candyman candyman a face would appear in the mirror and scratch ur face up.
when my parents would leave me home alone with my brother, and i did something bad, he used to tell me my mom and dad installed cameras in the mirrors to watch me breaking the rules.
i became the best child ever after that.
I used to believe, and almost still do (I'm 12) that if you look in a mirror through the corner of your eye, you would see scary stuff, or if you looked straight into a mirror, you would see scary stuff behind you. I still look away from mirrors in my bathroom.
I remember someone telling me that if you looked at yourself in the mirror, without blinking for a while, you would see yourself getting older and older! I had scary visions of my 3ft self being all bearded and wrinkly in my mr men pyjamas!!
I had a fear of seeing a person in the corner of the mirror(most of the time a morlock)
I used to believe that whoever made the mirrors would put cameras behind them and would all sit around and watch you. I would always cover up the mirror whenever I had to use that restroom. I didn't want them to see me!
I used to believe that there was a video camera behind my mirror and that it recoreded everything I did and it was all played on TV in China.
I used to believe that mirrors reflected everything. So if you threw a rock at a mirror it would bounce off 'reflected' leaving the mirror unscathed.
I used to believe that when you cracked a mirror your reflection would come and take over your body!
my grandma told me that the devil hides behind the mirror , so when my parents left i broke all mirrors in the house and thought that i killed the devil.
When I was about 4 I remember using a mirror to see what I looked like with my eyes closed. Oddly enough I never could. : )
