hi everyone, right ive heard from a few people and seen on a couple of websites that mirrors are supposed to be portals?? and if you set up two mirrors and you can photograph the "in between reflection" you might catch something in there? dunno how you would photograph the bit inbetween though? any ides have you heard of this or is it a myth.

I got no clue. It's something you could try out without too much trouble, tho. I think this is a good idea for an experiment, to see what turns up.

When I was younger my grandma always told me never look in a mirror in the dark, that I'd see things I didn't want to.......of course, after hearing that I'd sit in a dark room right in front of the mirror for hours.......nothing has come to git me yet.....

does anybody tried saying bloody mary in front of the mirror and then took a pic of her with your camera when she appear

I was given this mirror and it about 80 yrs old or so, I dont really know. Sorry for my camera( someone was playing with camera) and dust. I think I will go into the city and buy black candles.

I think if you set up a mirror facing a miror what you'll get is a reflection of a reflection..Take a picture of that, and you'll probably see at least something that looks a little weird to your eyes, especially given the camera angle you'd have to use..Although I doubt it would be supernatural in origin..
It would be an easy thing to try for an experiment though, as Snuffy said..
Personally I find the whole mirror portal concept a bit overrated..
Remember that until fairly recently in history, reflective opaque glass was available only to the very rich..
Regular folk tend to misinterpet meanings and start a great deal of superstition over things they have no access to. And reflections have always been an archetypical mystery to human kind..Naturally those two concepts go hand in hand, and mirrors were thought to be of great usage in alchemy and magic..From this we get vague mystical connotations of Mirrors as doorways or portals even today;even when most of us know that the superstitions of the past were based on a lack of knowledge and understanding for the most part..
And yet we still believe these things on some level..Odd how some things never seem to die out, even past their time..

It goes back to when we first climbed down out of the trees, Falco. You put down one set of fearful superstitions, and a whole new set will crop up, depending on what's going on in the times.

Well, at least we still remember that cameras steal our souls.

Why don't you try it and tell us all about it.

Falco Rex, I did that and what I got was infinaty. I put a hand mirror in front of a big mirror and I looked at it in an angle and there was a mirror inside a mirror inside a mirror inside a mirror over and over again with my face in it each time looking into it, weird. Does anyone know anything paranormal you can do with mirrors?

You can scry with one.

What IS scrying?

same thing as gazing into a crystal ball really. you can use a dark color bowl of water or a reg mirror in the dark. Sometimes you can see the future or past in it. Nostradamus used this alot.

Just look into a mirror in the dark?

Here this link will explain this better than i can. I hope this is found helpful. Blessings, Jo http://www.norwichmoot.paganearth.com/darkpools.htm

i dont have an idea either, but as far as i know theres no proof for it , besides if people knew that mirrors are some kinda portal , there wouldnt be any mirror left

to be honest i dont see how a mirror could harness any supernatural stuff. because its just a mixture of metals and glass. but i also think that ghosts tend to do things behind people, especially as they leave an area. so perhaps you see things behind you I dunnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Interesting i tried the candyman thing lol.

Im going to try the looking into mirror in the dark... I have an old english dresser from 1900 with a big oval mirror.....never know what you will see.....

Hey Wendy:
This could be done by setting up a video camera, and face it toward the TV screen and record, and look at the tv scree tp look at what the camera records.What you should see is a picture in picture in picture and on and on... which is an infinite picture of itself like a tunnel. That is where they got the idea for the movie "white noise"

Warning not all TV sets will do this with all video cameras. If the TV screen starts jumping all crazy, pull the camera away from the screen that it records or it will be damaged.

ive already done it "TRANSCOMMUNICATION " its good you get some pretty curious pictures too.

i dunno about mirrors..... but blody mary, ive heard of ppl close by gone crazy, me and my friends tried it but nope, has to be one by one with candles i think and ive heard to throw water at the mirror and then she comes and messes u up ( scratches you and maybe leaves u crzy) well i heard of alot of ppl gettign crzy, some not much only when they talk about subject, i dont think ill try that for now...

its outta topic so im sorry but white noise wasnt about tunnels made of cameras, it was about EVP

Exactly what i was thinking.... WTF? lol

i see a orb cool

WOW awesome pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was around 10 years old one of my friends house had this bathroom that was pretty small but the two facing walls had huge mirrors on them.

When you stood at the sink you could see yourself, front and back, reflected into infinity. It was a bit of a head trip but there was nothing paranormal about it.

Years later I found out his parents were swingers.

we used the " I believe in mary worth " 100 times looking into the mirror in the dark...

Yeah and you can do spells with them, to see like who you were in a past life and stuff. Has anyone ever sat in front of a mirror with a candle to the side of it in a dark room and stared at your face. I tried this and it's freaky your face starts to kind of change. You kind of loose yourself in the mirror looking at your face and it changes. I think mirrors are freaky things

it sounds strange...but this cant be true....

Why do ghosts show up in mirrors??

when i was little i was scared of looking into mirrors, terrified incase i saw someone/something behind me, or making sure i didnt look towards the mirror in my room on a night incase something was there.
at infant/junior school we used to do the whole bloody mary/ candyman thing, flushing the toilets, turning hand dryers on the works haha, nothing happened though other than us scaring ourselves.
this topic had intregued me a fair bit, it will be interesting hear about the results of peoples experiments

Please help solve our mystery!!! This picture was cropped out of a family photo, and now we are curious what this symbol means in the mirror. There were three pictures taken and this symbol is only in one of them. Thanks!

There seems to be a corralation between the mirrors and the photographed reflections on the screens of turned off TVs and windows etc., wondering if it is any reflective surface that can capture this under the right circumstances????, took a picture of the front of my house to showcase newly installed christmas lights and caught something odd in the front window will try to find and post.......B

Because of course Nostradamus was right about everything [/sarcasm]

Back on topic, I don't think there's anything supernatural about mirrors. It's just a material that happens to have reflective properties. I don't think I've ever heard of ghosts appearing in sheet metal or something similarly reflective.

i know they're just mirrors, but you won't catch me sayin bloody mary in the dark.

Ive tried all that bloody mary stuff and candles in mirror stuff when i was younger and i never had any kind of paranormal experience, just me.. with a candle.... in a mirror. Its just made up to spook kids like most urban myths. In 99% of urban myths there isnt a shred of evidence just good stories that were passed down between kids at high schools.

The sarcastic remark isn't called for. I wasn't saying Nostradamus was right about anything, only that he gazed into a bowl of water where others might use a mirror. They are both reflective surfaces. No need to be snarky, and it isn't helpful.

I don't believe I was replying to you. Take it easy, it was a JOKE!

Oops, you sure weren't. How weird-- I had written almost the exact same words in some other thread, but without the middle part. Sorry. I think your bunny mask panicked me.

Lol, it is quite a horrific mask. Anyway i'll try to be a bit less sarcastic from now on.

mirrors seem interesting, if i come up with paranormal photos with them , i'll post them lol
