6. Eisoptrophobia – Fear of Mirrors
While eisoptrophobia is generally referred to as a fear of mirrors it is actually more correctly described as a fear of interacting with the world of the supernatural through a mirror. It has long been the stuff of folklore and ghost stories that mirrors are windows or doorways into the realm of spirits. While many people who suffer from this phobia understand that their fear is based in superstition and quite irrational, this doesn’t stop them from feeling the way that they do.
