➞ 𝗥Ξ𝗙𝗟Ē𝗖𝗧ī𝗢𝗡 :: According to the mythos, vampires are unable to see their reflection in mirrors and surprisingly, the reason why is because of how mirrors used to be constructed. In the 19th century, mirrors were backed with a thin layer of silver which is believed to be one of the purest metals, perfect for repelling werewolves and vampires. That simple layer of silver is what kept vampires from being able to see their faces in a mirror in the time of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. However, modern mirrors are currently backed with aluminum so the vampires could be able to see their reflections.
