In Southern culture, if someone is close to death in a home, it is customary to cover any mirrors in the home with fabric or turn them to face the wall. It was believed that as the person died, their soul would become confused and enter the mirror trying to leave the house. It would then be trapped there and their ghost would haunt the home.
