One of the superstitions pertains to a mirror getting accidentally broken. It is supposed to bring 7 years bad luck.
In ancient times, before mirrors could be invented, people would see their reflections either in water or in smooth shiny metal objects. They took their reflections as their souls. So, if their reflection was shattered somehow, then their souls were also broken. The belief continued even after mirrors were made. We still believe in it!
