A woman in Shanghai, China, repeatedly moved two traffic mirrors, causing several car accidents as a result.
The woman acted on advice given by a feng shui practitioner, who attributed her misfortunes to “demon-revealing” traffic mirrors that were facing her home.
Feng shui is a Chinese cultural practice of arranging furniture and other objects to protect the flow of energy within a space. The traffic mirrors were placed at a sharp bend in the road, and their misalignment caused local motorists to frequently run into each other.
Multiple minor accidents occurred due to the mirrors' movement between December 2025 and January 2026. The neighbourhood community, frustrated by the situation, asked local police to speak with the woman and her husband about the issue.
As reported by the South China Morning Post, authorities warned the couple that their actions could be considered a criminal offence that carries jail time, explaining that they could even be held liable for any accidents.
Both mirrors have since been encased in cement to prevent them from being adjusted again.
