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.
A childhood belief about mirrors

- when i was young i used to believe that my image on a mirror would come to life if i broke the mirror.Anon
- Like most kids growing up, I believed there was an upside-down word on the other side of the mirror.— Taylor (14)
