This is actually rooted in a real psychological phenomenon. If you're staring at your reflection long enough in low lighting, your brain will stop recognizing your own face in the mirror and may even distort it. Some people report seeing a family member's face, a stranger's face, or even seeing monsters in the mirror. It's not supernatural, and obviously the creepypasta takes it much further, but it's pretty cool.
