Purple Mirror is a Japanese urban legend about a cursed word. If you still remember this phrase by the time you are 20 years old, you will die.
Years ago, there was a Japanese girl who was very vain and spent all her time staring at her reflection in a mirror. It had been given to her as a present by her mother and the girl cherished it more than anything. It was her most prized possession.
The girl was desperate to be beautiful and developed anorexia, starving herself to the point where she was painfully thin. As time went on, her health became worse and worse, but no matter how pale and gaunt she looked, when she gazed into her mirror, she saw herself as beautiful.
One day, she wanted to decorate her mirror, so she painted it by purple. When she looked into the glass, she was disgusted. She no longer saw herself as beautiful. She saw what she really looked like: a pale, thin and haggard mess with bones protruding through her leathery skin. Horrified, she smashed the mirror to pieces, but afterwards she regretted what she had done.
On her 20th birthday, the girl was in the middle of making preparations for her “coming-of-age” party when she was hit by a car and killed. As she died, the last words on her lips were, “purple mirror… purple mirror… purple mirror…”
After the funeral, when her parents searched her room, they couldn’t find the purple mirror. Rumors about the girl spread around Japan. After her funeral, some young people were found dead under mysterious circumstances. All of them died on their 20th birthday and no cause of death was ever found, but in each case, shards of purple glass wee found in their bedrooms.
Ever since that day, the words “purple mirror†have been cursed and it is believed that anyone who still remembers the phrase by their 20th birthday will die.
Note: It is very important that you forget you ever heard the words “Purple Mirror”. Just try and get the whole concept of a “purple mirror” out of your mind. Whatever you do, please get those words out of your brain… Your life depends on it.

@FAN OF SCARY KIDS Heh I’m evil, but I don’t believe in this crap. Yesterday, I was like “The Carmen Winstead story is baloney.” And yeah, I’m still alive. Still, gonna wait 7 years to see if this is real. :D
@superkid,I agree with you!Really SFK???????
12 years old.Will forget it!
Anyone mentioning the Mirror Of Erised or watching Harry Potter leads me to remembering this legend. Btw, I have lots if time to reach 20 years of age, and if I never stop commenting till I reach 20 and then I suddenly stop, you all will know that this works (unless I die before :P) But I don’t care. And funny how this story has everyone commenting their ages. But I know that I will definitely forget this by tomorrow unless someone brings it up (chances are less) or as I mentioned earlier, someone talks about Harry Potter. (Someone saying Mirror of Erised will work as Alohomora on the thing that locked Purple Mirror somewhere in my mind :P)
@Chosen1 you so rudo and thanks for increasing my troubles….. i have only 3 months to go….Soon i will be 20. But i don’t care……………i am sure i would forget this……….i have faith in myself.
And @Chosen one dont take me seriously i was just kidding…….. :)
