Mirrors are portals.
Welcome to Paranormal night
2
00:00:05,680 –> 00:00:08,960
Shift, your home for all things
that go bump in the dark and
3
00:00:08,960 –> 00:00:11,920
your fan stories told here.
Have you ever felt like you were
4
00:00:11,920 –> 00:00:14,520
being watched?
You ever seen something out of
5
00:00:14,520 –> 00:00:17,480
the corner of your eye, or been
in a house to where you know
6
00:00:17,480 –> 00:00:20,920
you’re by yourself but you never
quite feel alone?
7
00:00:21,440 –> 00:00:25,200
I’ve heard all sorts of warnings
about how mirrors are portals,
8
00:00:25,680 –> 00:00:29,240
but we have them everywhere.
Today’s story serves as a
9
00:00:29,240 –> 00:00:32,119
warning.
This comes from Rebecca, and
10
00:00:32,119 –> 00:00:33,960
it’s called The Man in the
Mirror.
11
00:00:34,360 –> 00:00:38,720
My grandmother was always a very
loving soul, but she would play
12
00:00:38,720 –> 00:00:41,200
tricks on the kids.
We always assumed that all the
13
00:00:41,200 –> 00:00:44,520
stories that she told us were
just stories that grandma’s
14
00:00:44,520 –> 00:00:47,480
told, you know, try to make you
act right.
15
00:00:47,800 –> 00:00:50,840
It would tell us stories about
the witch and the window, the
16
00:00:50,840 –> 00:00:53,440
ghost and the barn and the man
in the mirror.
17
00:00:54,000 –> 00:00:55,560
But we always didn’t believe
her.
18
00:00:55,560 –> 00:00:58,620
None of it made any sense.
It was just stories, just
19
00:00:58,620 –> 00:01:01,940
grandma being grandma until she
got elderly.
20
00:01:01,940 –> 00:01:05,019
It was very hard for us to
understand what she was talking
21
00:01:05,019 –> 00:01:07,860
about.
She had Alzheimer’s.
22
00:01:07,860 –> 00:01:11,700
My mom took care of her a lot,
but she would talk about the man
23
00:01:12,020 –> 00:01:14,100
far more than she would anybody
else.
24
00:01:14,340 –> 00:01:17,940
As her Alzheimer’s and dementia
got worse, she would start to
25
00:01:17,940 –> 00:01:21,540
smash things in the house,
anything that had a reflection.
26
00:01:21,980 –> 00:01:25,220
Mom came in one day and all the
mirrors in the house were
27
00:01:25,220 –> 00:01:28,650
completely smashed, All the
windows, anything that had a
28
00:01:28,650 –> 00:01:32,250
reflection smashed.
Grandma said that she didn’t
29
00:01:32,250 –> 00:01:35,610
want him to see her anymore,
that he was always watching her.
30
00:01:36,090 –> 00:01:38,770
It got to a point to where my
mom had to stay with her all the
31
00:01:38,770 –> 00:01:40,970
time.
My grandmother was far more
32
00:01:40,970 –> 00:01:44,170
active at night, she said.
That’s when the man came out.
33
00:01:44,330 –> 00:01:47,770
She had a nurse during the day
and the nurse would try to calm
34
00:01:47,770 –> 00:01:50,730
her down, but at night, she
said, that’s when the man.
35
00:01:51,050 –> 00:01:54,610
That’s when the man appeared.
So my mom ended up having to
36
00:01:54,610 –> 00:01:58,160
stay at my grandmother’s house
to help her out.
37
00:01:58,760 –> 00:02:01,480
One night, my mom was sleeping
on the couch.
38
00:02:01,480 –> 00:02:04,880
My grandmother came downstairs
yelling and hollering.
39
00:02:05,160 –> 00:02:08,600
You forgot to cover the mirrors.
You forgot to cover the mirrors.
40
00:02:08,600 –> 00:02:11,920
He’s in the house now, have to
cover the mirrors at night.
41
00:02:12,400 –> 00:02:15,240
That’s when he comes out.
You didn’t cover the mirrors.
42
00:02:15,440 –> 00:02:17,960
You have to cover the mirrors.
Now he’s in the house.
43
00:02:18,400 –> 00:02:20,560
My mom, of course, did not
believe him.
44
00:02:21,200 –> 00:02:24,160
She tried to calm my grandmother
down, but she kept telling him
45
00:02:24,650 –> 00:02:27,370
the night is going to be bad.
He’s already here.
46
00:02:28,250 –> 00:02:30,970
Later that night my grandmother
woke up screaming.
47
00:02:31,330 –> 00:02:34,530
My mom rushed upstairs and my
grandmother said he’s in the
48
00:02:34,530 –> 00:02:37,010
house.
She felt him in the house.
49
00:02:37,010 –> 00:02:39,530
He was sitting on her bed now.
He was choking her.
50
00:02:40,050 –> 00:02:42,970
Of course my mom didn’t believe
her, but then she had what
51
00:02:42,970 –> 00:02:46,050
looked like burn marks around
her neck.
52
00:02:46,690 –> 00:02:51,610
Hands burnt into her flesh.
My mom didn’t know what to do.
53
00:02:51,610 –> 00:02:55,370
She was freaking out.
She clearly something had
54
00:02:55,370 –> 00:02:58,730
grabbed my grandmother.
As my mom exited the room, she
55
00:02:58,730 –> 00:03:01,610
saw the mirror that my
grandmother had smashed again,
56
00:03:02,290 –> 00:03:05,810
and she saw him, A man dressed
all in black, standing right
57
00:03:05,810 –> 00:03:08,970
behind my grandmother.
She turned and of course he
58
00:03:08,970 –> 00:03:11,810
wasn’t there now.
He was appearing anywhere,
59
00:03:12,290 –> 00:03:13,970
everywhere that had a
reflection.
60
00:03:14,290 –> 00:03:17,930
My mom would see the man in all
black standing behind my
61
00:03:17,930 –> 00:03:20,490
grandmother.
He was in the bathroom.
62
00:03:20,920 –> 00:03:23,680
He was in the windows.
He surrounded the house.
63
00:03:23,760 –> 00:03:26,280
Mom grabbed my grandmother’s
hand, trying to exit at the
64
00:03:26,280 –> 00:03:27,840
house, trying to leave the
house.
65
00:03:27,840 –> 00:03:30,720
They had to get out of here.
My mother and grandmother saw
66
00:03:30,760 –> 00:03:34,680
this man everywhere.
As she went to the front door,
67
00:03:34,680 –> 00:03:38,840
she saw her reflection in the
mirror of the front door and of
68
00:03:38,840 –> 00:03:42,800
course it grabbed her.
The man had gone through the
69
00:03:42,800 –> 00:03:46,120
reflection and had his hands
around my mother’s throat,
70
00:03:46,520 –> 00:03:50,200
through her, to the ground was
choking her, physically choking
71
00:03:50,200 –> 00:03:52,500
her, dragging her across the
floor.
72
00:03:52,700 –> 00:03:55,580
My grandmother began to pray as
loud as she could, but nothing
73
00:03:55,580 –> 00:03:57,580
was working.
My mom passed out.
74
00:03:59,140 –> 00:04:01,340
My grandmother called me and
explained to me what had
75
00:04:01,340 –> 00:04:03,180
happened.
I didn’t believe it.
76
00:04:03,180 –> 00:04:06,220
Of course I didn’t believe it,
but both my grandmother and my
77
00:04:06,220 –> 00:04:10,100
mom had burn marks, these hands
on their throat.
78
00:04:10,100 –> 00:04:12,540
Something, something had
happened.
79
00:04:13,260 –> 00:04:15,380
How do you chalk this up?
How do you explain this to
80
00:04:15,380 –> 00:04:17,660
anybody?
Nobody believes you in these
81
00:04:17,660 –> 00:04:20,610
situations.
All we knew was that Grandma had
82
00:04:20,610 –> 00:04:23,370
to get out of the house.
We had no other option.
83
00:04:23,730 –> 00:04:27,690
We put her in a pallet of care
facility and she stayed there.
84
00:04:28,210 –> 00:04:31,490
My grandmother lived for another
couple years in this assisted
85
00:04:31,490 –> 00:04:33,450
living facility.
She was adamant.
86
00:04:33,450 –> 00:04:36,610
No mirrors, no windows.
She just didn’t want to see the
87
00:04:36,610 –> 00:04:38,730
reflection because that’s where
the man was.
88
00:04:39,530 –> 00:04:42,130
It didn’t make sense to anybody,
but it was our normal.
89
00:04:42,370 –> 00:04:45,330
We had to cover anything that
was around, especially after
90
00:04:45,330 –> 00:04:46,850
night, because that’s when the
man came.
91
00:04:47,550 –> 00:04:50,670
We tried to do whatever research
we could, tried to do whatever
92
00:04:50,670 –> 00:04:54,390
prayers we could sage the house.
But none of us just went into
93
00:04:54,390 –> 00:04:56,910
Grandma’s house.
It was just maybe that’s where
94
00:04:56,910 –> 00:05:00,430
the man was, because nothing
happened for quite some time.
95
00:05:01,350 –> 00:05:06,790
She got a new nurse and somehow,
someway, a window didn’t get
96
00:05:06,790 –> 00:05:08,870
covered.
My grandmother didn’t make it
97
00:05:08,870 –> 00:05:11,350
through the night.
I can’t imagine what horrors
98
00:05:11,350 –> 00:05:14,750
happened to her that night.
They said that she had
99
00:05:14,990 –> 00:05:18,540
suffocated in her sleep.
Probably just fell asleep and
100
00:05:18,540 –> 00:05:20,460
didn’t wake up, just stop
breathing.
101
00:05:21,100 –> 00:05:23,660
But we saw the hand marks on my
grandmother’s throat when they
102
00:05:23,660 –> 00:05:27,020
did the autopsy.
Burns is what it looked like.
103
00:05:27,860 –> 00:05:32,540
They did a medical examination,
but of course nothing was found.
104
00:05:33,140 –> 00:05:37,380
How do you explain that?
Some sort of entity, a man comes
105
00:05:37,380 –> 00:05:39,460
through a mirror and is trying
to hurt you?
106
00:05:39,500 –> 00:05:42,980
We don’t know why he wants to
hurt us, but I see him too now.
107
00:05:43,380 –> 00:05:45,340
I never believed my mom’s
stories.
108
00:05:45,820 –> 00:05:47,340
I always just played along with
it.
109
00:05:48,220 –> 00:05:52,100
But he’s here all the time.
I see him out of the corner of
110
00:05:52,100 –> 00:05:54,260
my eyes.
I I cover every mirror.
111
00:05:54,780 –> 00:05:56,420
We just don’t know how to get
rid of him.
112
00:05:56,860 –> 00:06:01,140
He only comes out at night and
for some reason he’s very, very
113
00:06:01,140 –> 00:06:04,620
violent and tries to attack us.
I’m asking you to read this
114
00:06:04,620 –> 00:06:06,620
story.
I just don’t know what else to
115
00:06:06,620 –> 00:06:09,780
do.
How do I live my entire life
116
00:06:09,780 –> 00:06:12,340
knowing that there’s mirrors and
windows everywhere?
117
00:06:12,980 –> 00:06:17,010
How do I block this at night?
Ask your fans, please for me.
118
00:06:17,930 –> 00:06:18,970
What do I do next?
