When I was growing up, our house had a large antique mirror in the front hall that was said to be haunted and that acted as a gateway or portal for spirits. Everyone in the house had to walk past that mirror to get into the main house and my siblings and myself always had a creepy feeling we were being watched by some unseen menacing eyes. From the first day it was brought into the house, strange things happened to the members of my family. Most were minor at first like things going missing and found in odd places and footsteps late at night followed by kitchen cabinet doors opening and closing on their own. The mirror was not removed from the house until my older sister was attacked in her bed by a spectre whose reflection she swears she saw in the mirror a few hours before. I do remember that the mirror was removed by a team of paranormal specialists that my mother had called after my sister's incident. What became of it I do not know nor do I care. What I do remember was that as it was being covered and removed I heard a voice whisper to me, "goodbye."

I found the following article on the net recently and thought some of the passages provided some good general informatio on portals in general. If you check out the link at the end, there are a few more stories there that may interest you.

A portal is an unseen vortex that connects two places through time and space, and even dimensions or other realities or timelines. It is very common for non physical entities to travel back and forth through these portals, but uncommon for you to be able to travel through them. Physical forms will rarely, if ever travel through a common portal.

 Common portals are those which are found in homes, in parks, in cemeteries, and other common places. These portals are opened for various reasons and in various ways. Sometimes portals are opened, inadvertently, by someone using a Ouija board, or other device for summons. Seances can open portals as well.

Many portals are opened by calling upon, or summoning, gods or demons purposely. It is often unknown what caused some portals to open. Summoning is when you call on a god or demon or entity or spirit of any kind. When you summon these beings, you open a portal which they travel through. This portal does not close automatically, and if you don’t take action to close it, it remains open indefinitely.

It is not uncommon to have a portal of some type in your home; even if the home is new. Sometimes, it is the land on which the home is built that has the portal attached to it. The most common places in your home that you will find portals are doorways and mirrors and even basements. Closets and basements are notorious for having portals in them. I’m not quite sure why, but closets and basements are the most common places to find a portal in your home. Portals can be located anywhere, but closet doorways, basements, and mirrors are the most common.

How can you tell if you have a portal in your home? There are a few ways you can tell if there is a portal in your home.

• Sound. Odd or unusual sounds, or disembodied voices. Do the sounds come from a specific location in the home? Can you track them?
• Visual. Do you see shadows or faint shapes, or even realistic figures that shouldn’t be there? Do they come from a specific location? Can you follow them?
• Feel. If you are a sensitive or a medium, you can sense a portal. Is there a specific location in your home that gives you eerie or creepy feelings? Is there a specific location you find yourself wanting to avoid because it scares you? Is there a place in your home that just feels “funny”, or gives you a tingly feeling?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of those questions, you probably have a portal in your home.
