Mom to Mom
I am literally petrified of looking into a mirror at night. I thought I was crazy; until I read this... (this is a true story).
The Devil's Mirror
Hi everyone!! O.K., here is my story. It's been quite awhile ago, so I will do the best I can.
This happened to my mother when I was in my very early teens (I'm 34
now). I am the oldest of 7 kids and this incident happened when my mom
had her 6th child, Keri.
It was her first night home from the
hospital after giving birth & Keri had a crib in my parent's room.
My mom and dad had their own bathroom off of their room and my mom had
decided to leave the bathroom light on during the night so that when
Keri woke up to be fed she could see what she was doing. The way my parents
bedroom was set up when the bathroom light was on it would glare off of
the mirror my mom had on her dresser and shine into her eyes making it
hard for her to sleep. So, in order to stop this from happening she put a
blanket over the mirror on her dresser so that the bathroom light would
not shine into her eyes while she was trying to sleep. Anyway, it was
her first night home from the hospital like I said and she had gone to
bed and fallen asleep.
A little while later she had a nightmare and had woken herself up by crying out "Help!".
The nightmare scared her to death. She had dreamt that the devil had
come into her bedroom and he was furious with her for covering up the
mirror with the blanket--the reason he was so furious was something like
he needed the mirror in order to be able to completely come into her
room or something--and he wanted her to take the blanket off of the
mirror immediately. Well, this dream really freaked her out, but she
didn't take the blanket off of the mirror since it was only a silly
dream and nothing to take seriously.
The next night she was again woken up by this nightmare when she had once again cried out the word "Help!". She was really freaked out by now, but she just chalked it up to just having a baby and her exhaustion making her have
bad dreams. She once again left the blanket over the mirror so the
light wouldn't glare into her eyes while she was trying to sleep. (I
also need to mention here that my dad was not at home at this time-he
had gone out of town on a business trip and was not coming home for
another week so my mom was alone in her bedroom except for the newborn
Keri)
The third night my mom had the dream again only this time
the devil was more furious than ever. He got right up in her face and
screamed at her that he wanted that blanket off of the mirror and he
wanted it off RIGHT NOW!!! Once again my mom was able to wake herself up
from her horrible dream when she managed to cry out the word "Help!!".
Only this time it was different. This time when she woke up she could
not move. It was like she was paralyzed and all that she could move was her eyes.
No matter how hard she tried she could not move. And to make matters
worse, she realized that SOMEONE WAS ON THE BED WITH HER!! She could
feel the bed going down next to her like someone was climbing into bed.
She said that she was definately awake and there was
someone in there with her. She had never been so scared in her entire
life!! All the while she is laying there trying to move while someone is
on the bed with and she can't do a thing. She remembered that she had
been able to wake up from the dreams by crying out so she tried really
hard to do that now. It took her awhile, but she was finally able to cry
out the word "Help" and that broke the spell or whatever was paralyzing
her. The minute that she could move again the weight lifted from the
bed next to her.
She said that she was terrified, but that was
nothing compared to how she felt when she got up the courage to look
around her room. Because the blanket was not on the mirror any
longer--it was THROWN INTO THE CORNER OF HER ROOM!! When she had gone to
bed that night the blanket was covering the mirror and now it was laying
in the corner as if someone had ripped it off and tossed it there. Now,
remember my dad was out of town, so he couldn't have done it and when
my mom finally got the courage to get out of bed she checked on all of
us kids and we were all sound asleep so we couldn't have done it either.
(I have no idea WHY we would want to do it in the first place) It took
my mom quite a few days to calm down after this happened and needless to
say, she never put a blanket over the mirror again. And after that
night she never had the nightmare again either. She didn't tell any of
us about this for quite awhile,t but when she did it scared the crap out
of us!!

I should not have read this. I have always been terrified of mirrors in the dark because my dad said a witch would come get me if I looked in a mirror in the dark. Now I have this to think about, too. ****Shivering in the corner****
