its because mirrors are lined with silver
nothing to do with souls
A reflection in the mirror is called a mirror image. Mirror images are the virtual images that we see when looking at our reflection in a mirror.
When light hits a mirror, it bounces off the smooth surface and reflects back to our eyes. This reflection creates the image that we see as our reflection in the mirror.
The angle of reflection determines the direction in which light is reflected off a mirror. If you look at the mirror straight on, the angle of incidence and reflection will be equal, allowing you to see your entire reflection. As you change the angle, the reflected light will bounce away from your eyes, making it harder to see yourself fully in the mirror.
You can see one reflection of yourself in a mirror.
Elie sees a reflection of himself in the mirror.
Vampires don't need to shave.
You can see vampires, but if you are standing in front of a mirror, you cant see them, because they have no reflection. They are only dead people's corpses animated. They just prey on others. They are kinda like spirits. They can't see themselves in their reflection; it confuses their minds. But, to make this easier, just like how ghosts are stereotyped to have no feet, vampires have no reflection. But that is not a stereotype.
cause your not looking at it , its on tv, it cant see you, the tv does not give off a reflection like a mirror

There are no such thing as vampires, so telling the difference is easy. If they exist, then they are not a vampire. If they exist, then they are human. Vampires are fictional, like elves, fairies, Santa Claus and trickle-down economics. [Alternate: Hold a mirror up in front of them. If you see their reflection in the mirror - and you will - they are not vampires.]
Some say that it is because they lack a soul. Others believe that they do have a reflection but can't bear to see what they have become.
Some vampires can.
Actually you can. This is one of the more incredulous claims for vampires that is difficult to conform to known physics. Some vampires are not comfortable with what they have become and shrink from seeing themselves in a mirror. Denial.
A vampire is the creature that can not see their reflection because the theory is that to have a reflection you must also have a soul. Vampires do not have souls for they are dead and your soul leaves your body when you die. I therefore state Vampires will never see their reflection.
It may be possible if there is enough light in the room to see an outline of your reflection in the mirror. Or, your eyes may adjust to the dimness of the room and you may see a faint outline of your reflection in the mirror.
