Why Are Mirrors Linked to the Supernatural?

[Urvashi]

From scrying to ghost lore, mirrors often appear in paranormal stories. Some say they reflect spiritual dimensions. Have you ever experienced something strange while looking in a mirror or heard convincing mirror-related ghost tales?

Mirrors are linked to the supernatural because they reflect more than just appearances. they symbolize self-reflection, portals, or hidden worlds in folklore. I’ve noticed stories often use mirrors for ghostly encounters or omens, which makes them a common supernatural motif.

I think this is mainly in western culture. In our county, there are no supernatural ideology associated with mirrors

Mirrors are only perceived in the supernatural sense when it comes to folklore, nothing more. I don't think it should be seen as an object beyond the ordinary. Though I have heard paranormal stories about them, but those are mostly in movies and books.

I suppose because of the same paranormal experience that people have had with these mirrors, right? It is the most logical and consistent explanation I can find.
