A woman who describes herself as a ‘psychic medium’ has warned that having a mirror facing the bed could bring ‘unwanted spirits’ into the home – but says there’s a simple way for people to protect themselves.
Leah, from the UK, who is known to her 51,500 TikTok followers as Psychic Leah, previously said that she has been able to ‘see and connect with the dead’ since she was 18 months old.
In a stark warning, Leah told viewers: ‘Do not have a mirror facing your bed.’ She later added that this advice applies to all kinds of mirrors, including those that are found inside wardrobes.
‘Mirrors are one of the main reasons why we have portals open in our home,’ she said, explaining that they are the most common reason why she’s called out to people’s properties to ‘cleanse their houses.’
Leah does not doubt at all that a mirror facing the bed has the potential to wreak havoc in an otherwise happy home.
She said: ‘You will have unwanted spirits, you will have all types of spirits in your home – something low vibrational, typically an entity that isn’t particularly nice.’
The young woman, who also claims to be a ‘paranormal investigator’, added that universal nighttime complaints, such as ‘restless sleep’ and ‘insomnia’, could be the result of the position of a mirror in the bedroom.
Leah claimed: ‘If you’re one of these who has a mirror facing your bed and since you’ve done that you’ve had restless sleep, [or] insomnia really bad, it’s because of the energy that comes out of the mirror, especially if there’s arguments within your home.’
But it’s not just those who have a mirror opposite the bed who are at risk, according to the self-described ‘demonologist’.
She said: ‘Mirrors literally suck in energy and having a mirror facing a window is also another way of inviting unwanted spirits.’
In a third warning, Leah advised against ever buying a second-hand mirror, stressing that, ‘Whatever happened within that person’s home – we don’t know if it’s negative, we don’t know what’s gone on there – that’s coming into your home.’
However, for those who are reluctant to start reconfiguring their bedroom, there is a simple solution, she claimed.
Leah recommended covering the mirror with a cloth or a blanket as well as ‘doing protection prayers’ over it and ‘saging it’.
Covering it ‘closes the mirror down, not allowing any spirits in or out,’ she added in a comment beneath the clip.
And, for those who have always had a mirror in one of these unfavourable positions but haven’t suffered as a result, she had another message.
Warning people not to be complacent, she said: ‘Many people have a mirror in front of their bed for years and not have anything happen – but that’s not to say it won’t happen to you.’
Leah’s post attracted more than 2,000 comments, with a number of people identifying with her warnings.
One person wrote: ‘Don’t get me started on this…. She’s absolutely correct, I had a horrifying experience last year and it STILL keeps me awake at night, it’s not a joke, remove mirrors from bedroom even near your bed. ‘
Another user added in the comment section: ‘My nanny always said to NEVER have a mirror facing your bed!!
‘If she ever went anywhere to stay for the night, she would take it down or cover it up!
‘Also, you saying [that] about a second had mirror, I was given one that my dad got from an auction, the bad vibes and distortion that happened when you looked in it were wild! I got rid of it (safely) as soon as I could!’
A third person appeared worried, writing: ‘That has freaked me right out. How do I stop this please?’
While a fourth shared a different approach, explaining: ‘Having a mirror facing your bed is fine. Just do a cloaking blessing and you’ll be fine.’
Yet others seemed to have had no problems at all with the mirrors in their home, prompting one person to write: ‘I don’t know I’ve had a mirror facing my bed for literally years. Nothing weird has ever happened and I sleep great.
Another user joked: ‘I don’t mind… No spirit could be as bad as any of my exes’.
It comes after a seemingly normal photo of a group of friends on holiday was branded ‘creepy’ after people spotted a ‘ghost‘ hidden in the snap.
A Reddit user who goes by the name CursedEmoji posted the snap online – saying their friend had sent them a picture of their trip to Chile.
Upon first glance, it may seem as though there are a group of six people – four women and two men – posing for the snap while trekking in a forest.
However, a less obvious, much darker looking face appeared to be lurking in the snap.
After being shared online, people were quick to share how they were ‘creeped out’. One wrote: ‘Oof. That definitely made my heart jump when I finally found it.’
Another penned: ‘I thought it was about the top of a head behind the guy on the right. Oh yeah, I saw the witch too!’
A third said: ‘It was a completely normal picture before zooming in. It’s a creepy picture with a very clear ghost face.’
A fourth commented: ‘Looks like someone’s grandma is travelling with them,’ while a fifth chimed in and added: ‘Nah that actually scared me a bit.’
However, others questioned whether the picture was real, with some theorising that it might’ve been a camera glitch or even Photoshop.
One wrote: ‘Creepy! Seems a little too good to be true, though.’ Another penned: ‘That’s absolutely Reagan from the exorcist photoshopped in, things like this sadly dampen paranormal photography.’
A third said: ‘Looks photoshopped to me, just too obvious. I saw it pretty quickly.’
A fourth commented: ‘Looks like a digital error of some kind. Face looks similar to the dude on the left.’
