ON NEW YEAR'S EVE AT MIDNIGHT, YOU CAN SEE THE FUTURE IF
YOU WALK BACKWARDS AND LOOK INTO A MIRROR. YOU WILL SEE
YOUR BOYFRIEND IN THE MIRROR, AND YOU CAN SOMETIMES SEE
THE DEVIL IN IT.

Submitter comment: INFORMANT SAID SHE ONCE HAD THE MIRROR READY TO LOOK AT
MIDNIGHT BUT SHE GOT SCARED AND PUT IT AWAY BECAUSE SHE
WAS AFRAID SHE WOULD SEE THE DEVIL.
