S4 Ep18: Episode 177: Mirrors- History, Folklore, & Hauntings

About this episode

This episode explores the history, folklore, and hauntings associated with mirrors.

Today, we venture inside mysterious gateways. We step through the glass, and gaze beyond our own reflection. Around the world for thousands of years, these objects have been feared, covered, shattered, and whispered to. Some say they’re capable of trapping souls. Others claim they reveal hidden truths, and bring good luck, or bad. It depends on who you ask. From ancient superstitions to ghostly reflections – today we are discussing one of the most ordinary, yet powerful objects in our homes.
