"The Urbino Mirror Experiment, an occult home adventure"

Here is an astonishing mysterious experiment you can do with just a mirror
and a dim light. In the Urbino mirror experiment you sit or stand
before a mirror, starring at your own reflection for some time. After a few
minutes your reflection will transform into the face of someone or something
else! Another person, someone you might know, an ancestor, an archetypical
face, an animal, a demon or magic creature...or something even weirder!

Reality falls apart, the true nature of the very self becomes questionable,
do you even exist? Are you just some kind of vaporous hologram of which
reality and proof we can only behold in a mirror? Does the fabric of reality
short circuit in some kind of weird glitch loop because you are watching
yourself which is not really yourself?

This strange phenomenon has been used since the earliest of times by
sorcerers, witches, clairvoyants and fortune tellers in magick practices.
It has only recently, in 2010,  been scientificly studied by dr. Giovanni
Caputo from the university of Urbino in Italy, hence the name "URBINO
MIRROR EXPERIMENT".

This experiment might be scary, some people experienced seeing monstrous
beings and felt quite disturbed aftwerwards.

What you need:
................
A dark room

A mirror - Dr. Giovanni Caputo suggests a mirror at least 50 by 50 cm,
(that would be 19 by 19 inches) but I guess a smaller one will do also.

A dim light - Giovanni suggests a 25W incandescent light, but you probably
can try candles, LED's too or something.

Thats all you need...Place the light behind you, preferably on a lower level
then the mirror. Sit before the mirror with a distance of 40 centimeters  
(about 15-16 inches). Gaze for a couple of minutes at your own reflection and
if everything should go as planned you will experience the strange face
transformations.

Experiment with different colors of light and sound. Research if certain
music or frequencies have different effects on the transforming reflections.

Scientific Explanation
So what did Dr.Giovanna Caputo find out during this experiment? Well nothing
much except that it is a real experience and that there is not really a
conclusive scientific explenation of what is going on. We simply don't know
enough of neuroscience or how the brain works yet to understand. There are
however some theories Dr.Caputo hinted at, which you can read in his report of
the experiment, in pdf file http://www.perceptionweb.com/abstract.cgi?id=p6466
