Does anybody know why they covered the mirrors? Was it to do with Spirits? I have also heard they stop the clocks at least in the room the person died in.

So a spirit would not be seen. Clocks was indeed stopped and some never restarted.. Another practice was the church rang a bell for each year of life of the person... 2 quick bells at first meant it was a man... one short followed by a pause meant a women..... then slowly one bell for each year ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shelly Platz" <sunshine311_us@yahoo.com> To: <KYBREATH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2004 8:45 PM Subject: Re: [KYBREATH-L] Preachin on the Ground > Does anybody know why they covered the mirrors?
