nightmares/seeing things that aren't really there....

I've been looking into what films contain scenes where things appear in mirrors, windows and other objects that aren't really there or show things that aren't really happening.
Currently I have found the following films....
-Mirrors-The unborn
-Black swan
-The ring (the original)
-5ive girls
-Bloody mary
-5 witches-The skeleton key
-Harry potter-Paranormal activity-Prince of darkness
-Ringu-Ju-on-The shining
-Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream warriors
-From beyond the grave
-Dead silence
-Candyman
-13 ghostsOut of these movies I only looked at three of them in my research. I looked at 'Harry Potter' because it's really well known and I'd seen it before.
The scene I am looking at from Harry Potter is when Harry is looking in th
e mirror that can show you what your heart wants, in this case it was his parents. They appear in the reflection of the mirror but aren't actually there in real life.
The second film I looked at was 'The Black Swan'. I hadn't seen this film before but I had seen the trailor for it recently and could remember a scene where the ballet dancer is standing with her back to a mirror but her reflection is looking at her.

The final film I looked at was 'Mirrors'. Originally I just saw the title and thought it would be good to have a look at to see what it was about. It turned out that it went really well with the work I was doing. There are multiple scenes in the film where different things happen in the mirrors which gave a great variety for my research.
