Usually people look in the mirror in the morning, afternoon or evening.

We are talking about the periods when a person leaves home and returns back, as well as the time when he performs hygiene procedures.

But sometimes there is a need to look at yourself in a reflective surface at a time when it is dark outside.

However, it is advisable to refrain from such an action. According to signs, it can lead to negative consequences.

It was believed that a person who looked in a mirror at night would “invite” dangerous forces into his home.

According to popular belief, at night you can see evil spirits and your own death in the mirror.

This is why looking at a reflective surface at night can bring misfortune, including serious illnesses.

So, if you believe in omens, don't look in the mirror at night. And if such a need does arise, at least turn on the light.
