The internet is never short of videos that leave us thinking for the next few minutes. While some of them are hilarious to the core, the others will make you go “What the F***?*. And as we speak, we are here with another brain teasing one, to mess up your day.
In a video that is making rounds on Twitter, a child can be seen standing in front of the mirror before walking away from it slowly. That sounds pretty normal, isn’t it? However, what has made people raise their eyebrows is the boy’s reflection, which seems to have moved faster than the boy himself!
The video was shared on Twitter by the boy’s mother, from San Antonio, Texas.
If you take a closer look, you will see that his reflection makes a move even before the boy does. And by the time the boy turns away from the mirror, you can see his reflection has already disappeared. How did this happen?

Quite expectedly, Twitter went nuts on seeing the 5-second clip helping it to collect more than 109,000 shares and 3 million views. While some of them asked if the child was possessed, the others questioned if the mirror is a portal to another world.

However, it was the original owner of the video, @satxjolynn, who came back to clear all doubts. In a logical explanation, he mentioned that the illusion was caused by a combination of the angle of the mirror, the position of where she was filming.
Admit it, this got you guessing for a while. Didn’t you?
