Many believe that breaking a mirror
dooms you to seven years of bad luck.
The superstition may come from the
belief that mirrors don’t just reflect
your image, they hold bits of your
soul. That belief led people in the old
days of the American South to cover
mirrors in a house when someone
died, for fear that their soul was
trapped inside. Yikes!
