Nickname: Mother Mirror
Danger Ranking: 4.E
First Reported: 1979-10-03 — Elk Grove, WA

Summary:
Mother Mirror is a sentient reflective surface resembling a large, ornate vanity mirror framed in blackened wood. The object is stationary but displays an entity visible only within its reflection: a towering, feminine figure with exaggerated features and no discernible eyes. It appears only when individuals stand alone before the mirror and attempt to speak aloud, often in distress or introspection.

Once interaction begins, the mirror mimics the individual’s posture and expression but gradually alters the reflection, twisting features, shifting backgrounds, or placing objects in the room that are not physically present. If the subject continues the exchange, the mirror may begin to answer, distorting their voice in unsettling, maternal tones. Prolonged exposure results in hallucinations, psychological dependency, and in some cases, complete refusal to leave the mirror’s presence.

The anomaly’s effects increase during the late hours of night, particularly between 2:00–4:00 AM. During these times, reflections may show loved ones deceased, never born, or visibly suffering.

Known Properties:

• Reflection displays anomalous entity only when viewer is alone and speaking aloud.
  
• Entity within the mirror appears to know deeply personal or repressed information about the subject.
  
• Prolonged interaction (>4 minutes) induces suggestibility, dissociation, and longing to return.
  
• Subjects exposed over multiple sessions begin dreaming exclusively in mirrored rooms or speaking in the entity’s tone.
  
• No physical touch between subject and reflection has ever occurred—mirror surface is solid—but several subjects have reported feeling hands on their shoulders or breath on their neck.
  
• Some users experience "mirror burn" — red skin discoloration on the face or chest after sessions, unexplainable by conventional sources.
  

Containment Procedure:
The object is housed in a triple-lock containment room within PARADIGM Facility Delta-7.

• Room must be entirely devoid of other reflective surfaces.
  
• Interaction is prohibited outside of approved psycholinguistic studies. Only personnel with mental shielding clearance may observe sessions.
  
• Sessions are limited to 90 seconds per individual, with observation via non-reflective viewing systems.
  
• If a subject attempts to return to the mirror without clearance, they are to be reassigned immediately and evaluated for cognitive distortion.
  
• Containment chamber must be rotated 180° weekly to prevent structural warping and memory drift.
  

Encounters:

• 1979-10-03 — Elk Grove, WA: Discovered in the home of Edna Carr, 67, following a sequence of calls to a “woman in the mirror.” Subject found deceased before the mirror. Reflected scene did not match room layout.
  
• 1983-01-12 — PARADIGM Delta-7: Researcher Alton Gress enters room without escort. Found several hours later kneeling, smiling at the mirror, with minor lacerations along face. Reassigned permanently.
  
• 1990-08-25 — Observation Session #14: Mirror responds in the voice of a deceased mother to Subject 12-R. Subject breaks down, requires sedation, and later requests to “go home through the mirror.”
  

Recommendation:
No further long-term observation. Refrain from emotional or memory-recall triggers during any session. Treat it not as a mirror, but as a door that lies.

You do not see your reflection. She shows you the version that will come for you.
