There was a time when some people in some countries covered their mirrors at night for fear of a soul getting trapped in a mirror when the soul was wandering in a dream.
There was a time when some people in some countries covered their mirrors after someone died for fear the dead person’s soul could get trapped in a mirror.
I only know three things about mirrors:
If you break one, you might get seven years of bad luck.
If you truly are a vampire, you won’t see yourself in one.
If I look into a mirror, I always look much younger than I really am.
For the last thing, I know it’s an illusion because I look my true age in photos.
On a related note, and speaking of souls, I know, unlike with some primitive beliefs, when I’m photographed my soul won’t get trapped in a camera, fingers crossed. 🙂
