When I was in the 7th grade, the girls at my school would be playing those infamous mirror games like "Bloody Mary", one about seeing the Witch from Snow White, and one about some incantation to summon the devil.
I developed a slight fear of mirrors and was very happy I did not have a full length mirror in my room.
I would stay awake in fear of the devil. I would even get teased about it by friends.
Though I do have two in mine now since I'm vain, I still keep an open box with a cross on a chain AND a lion plooshie with a Star of David just in case.
