Hi, That was posted here not too long ago and from I recall it is a fake. Too many of these things on YouTube can be a hoax, a joke or just for entertainment purposes. That is a trick that from what I read, is quite easy to accomplish..

It has been discussed a few times here. Use the search engine – do a search in “Topic Title” - type “mirror” and you get the threads.

The camera is very poor "evidence" for anything these days.

The days of the camera never lying are long gone I think?

I remember that thread and the video it was about. It was kind of creepy, when first viewing it. The thing is, I wouldn't call it a ghost, considering that is still the living girl's reflection in the mirror. I still wonder, if it is not a fake, how was that done, why was it done, and was a ghost responsible?

Isn't it a little strange how she acts in a normal speed until it comes to the part where she faces that side? She slows down so dramaticly and continues to look at the mirror while coming back around until she can't see it anymore. I really think it is fake.

There is that one with the figure jumping off the cliff in the background that looks decent enough (to me, anyway!).

Here are two similar strange but true stories as told by Liverpool paranormal investigator Tom Slemen....


The Warning Mirror

linked-image

One rainy afternoon in February 1896, Margaret Hodges, a 35-year-old widowed woman who originally hailed from Liverpool's Pomona Street, moved into a house on Devonshire Road, High Park. Margaret had no children, but her 13-year-old niece Marie Ann was currently proving to be excellent company for the widow, who had been mourning the death of her husband for almost two years. John Hodges had died from tubercular complications in 1894, and had left a substantial legacy to Margaret, who now wanted to start anew in the suburbs of Southport, where she could attempt to forget Liverpool and the life that had been.

Upon this February afternoon, Margaret stood before a small square mirror she'd placed on her dresser, and she was complaining that the looking glass was too small to see anything in. She had to stand quite a distance away from it to see the new bonnet on her head, and Marie Ann kept nudging her out of the way to look at her own new hat. Later that afternoon Margaret and her niece were pleased to find a full-length mirror under a dusty sheet in the garret of the house. Three days later, Margaret Hodges was standing before this mirror, with Marie Ann brushing her hair for her, when the girl yelped, and said she had seen something flit out of the corner of her eye - in the mirror.

Margaret could see nothing, but several minutes later, the two females got the shock of their lives when they saw a woman appear in the mirror. She wore a fine white wedding gown, a coronet of orange blossoms on her pearl-blonde hair and a fine veil of diaphanous silk covered her face. In her white-gloved hands she clutched a bouquet, and she stood staring out of the mirror, seemingly oblivious to Margaret and Marie Ann, who were staring at the looking glass apparition in shock. The bridal spectre suddenly turned and walked away from the mirror, dragging the train of her gown with her.

After the initial scare of seeing the ghost, Margaret and Marie Ann became curious to know just whose spectre they had seen in that mirror, and would frequently go to the room to stare at the mirror to see if the apparition would return. They didn't have to wait long. Two days after the ghost made her debut, on 12 February, Margaret and her niece saw not one, but two phantasms in the long mirror. They saw the silvery blonde lady from behind on this occasion, and a man with black, centre-parted hair and a curled up moustache was embracing her, and looking over her shoulder - directly at Margaret and Marie Ann. He was saying something to the woman, who was perhaps his wife, but no sound came forth from his lips. Marie Ann held on to her aunt, and although she was a little frightened by the ghostly image, she was riveted by the supernatural spectacle. The images faded, and the same gentleman appeared - but now he was further away in the depths of the mirror, and he was kissing a dark-haired woman. Margaret touched her forehead, chest and then each shoulder as she made the sign of the cross. Then the images faded, and the room reflected in the glass reverted to the normal mirror-image of Margaret's room.

'Are you scared Auntie? I wasn't afraid this time,' Marie Ann told Margaret, and the woman reassuringly hugged her niece, and pondered on the meaning of the images the mirror had shown. Had the man in the looking glass been the ghost of a man who had committed adultery with the dark haired lady? It was as if the mirror had recorded all of the scenes from the lives of the previous occupants of the house, and was now replaying key events in the lives of these people. As Margaret and Marie Ann were about to walk out the room, they heard the cry of a child. They both turned, and slowly walked to the source of the unseen infant's cries - the mirror. There in the reflected room, they saw a bed, and the woman with pearl-coloured hair was giving birth, with a midwife in attendance. Margaret covered her niece's eyes at the shocking sight. As the midwife presented the mother with her babe, the images faded, and all of a sudden, the black-haired man reappeared close to the mirror, and he had tears in his eyes. He moved away from the mirror - to reveal an open coffin on a stand. In that coffin rested the silvery blonde who had given birth moments before in the strange mirror vision. The gentleman walked back into view, near to the coffin, shaking his fist at the deceased lady, and then the scene quickly faded away. Margaret and her niece hurried from the room on this occasion, unnerved by the sight of the lady in the coffin.

Two days later, on Friday, 14 February, a paper-lace Valentine card, was sent to Margaret's home on Devonshire Road. The card said that Margaret had an admirer, and the widow was flattered at the Valentine, and wondered who had sent it. Several days later, the admirer turned up on the doorstep of Margaret Hodges, and when she saw who it was she almost fainted. It was unmistakably the raven-haired man she'd seen in the mirror. She refused to allow him over the threshold, despite his bold attempts to walk into the house. She told the man to go, and he finally left in a huff. Almost a year passed until Mrs Hodges discovered from a neighbour that the man had lodgings in the street, and had once lived at the house where the Liverpool widow now lived. He was a renowned womaniser, and there were rumours that the man had once pushed his wife down a flight of stairs. He claimed she had fallen.

Her neck was broken by the fall, and not long afterwards, the cad had an affair with the wife of a policeman, and the constable almost left him for dead when he found out about the affair. The adulterer also abandoned his daughter, and she was put in the care of a relative. Margaret Hodges shuddered when she heard about the scandalous reputation of the man, and realised that only for that extraordinary mirror, she could well have fallen for the charms of a murderous adulterer.

A Premonition in a Pub


linked-image
Bramleys pub


In Vine Street, off Myrtle Street, there once stood a pub called the Myrtle Hotel, which was later renamed Bramleys. In the scorching hot summer of 1976, a gang of construction-site workers came into Bramleys to slake their thirst with a few ice-cold lagers. Two of the workmen were stripped to the waist because of the infernal heat, and one of them just happened to glance at his reflection in a gold-tinted mirror in the pub parlour as he downed his pint. What he saw chilled him more than the drink. His mirror image had a long, stitched up gash right across his stomach. The brickie examined his abdomen to reassure himself that there was no actual wound there. But when he checked again in the mirror, the slash was still there on the reflection of his body.

The man's five workmates and a barmaid were witnesses to this strange illusion. After about a minute, the bricklayer observed that the phantom wound had vanished from his reflection. A fortnight later, whilst working on a building in Toxteth, the brickie who had seen the eerie spectral scar lost his balance and toppled off scaffolding. He was impaled on railings, He survived, but suffered horrific injuries and was forced to retire after a complicated operation to repair his abdomen and bowels. The scar left by the surgeon was identical to that which the bricklayer and six other witnesses had seen in that pub mirror in Bramleys two weeks previously.

There were other strange premonitions seen in that gold tinted mirror, and they are related in Haunted Liverpool 4.

IL dont know if its a fake or not but its creepy!!!! Honestly I think its real. That was creepy and awsome at the same time.
supervike
I don't think its even the same girl in the mirror. It seems to me that is a fake panel, with another little girl 'mirroring' the hairbrushing girl, then turns around to add the creepy effect.
