Woman Causes Multiple Car Accidents by Moving Traffic Mirror to Protect Her Feng Shui
A woman has found herself in hot water for adjusting a traffic mirror near her home. Doing so reportedly caused several accidents. So why did she do it? To improve her home’s feng shui.
According to local media, it all began a few months ago when a woman in Shanghai, China, experienced a run of bad luck. Trying to change her fortunes and noticing the traffic mirror facing her house, she started moving it around to protect her home’s feng shui.
Feng shui gives great importance to mirrors. You should not direct them at a bed or a front door. Doing so means directing negative energy that way. She believed the mirror was “irradiating” her home, causing her family to become unwell and unlucky. So, she reportedly would turn the mirror, sometimes completely backwards, so it wouldn’t face the road at all.
Residents and property management couldn’t figure out why someone kept moving the traffic mirror
For weeks, the property management team repeatedly adjusted the mirror located on a sharp 90-degree turn to aim it where it should have been. Unfortunately, each time they fixed it, it would be moved again, leading to several car accidents.
What the woman apparently didn’t realize, or didn’t care about, was that by moving the mirror to give herself better luck, she was causing numerous motorists to have terrible luck.
The numerous car accidents reportedly prompted residents to refer to it as a “demon mirror.” In one incident, property was damaged. In another, two cars collided head-on. One resident called the turn a “blind guess” and said she was afraid to even take the turn while driving.
One solution didn’t work, so the police intervened
When a reporter spoke to the woman’s husband, he said that turning the traffic mirror might have made it “it inconvenient for others to drive,” but it didn’t really affect anyone. Meanwhile, he also believed the mirror to be a demon to their home.
Finally, a neighborhood committee, with the woman’s permission, replaced the single mirror with a double mirror, facing both directions, but not at her home. Shortly thereafter, she began turning the mirrors again.
However, police warned the woman that if any future accidents resulted from her turning the traffic mirror, she and her family would be held responsible. So far, that warning has, at least temporarily, put a halt to her shenanigans.
