The thing in the mirror will menacingly appear to be directly behind the victim, but when the victim turns around to look, the thing will not actually be there. When the victim then looks back in the mirror, the thing will have vanished. The thing must be within 100’ of the victim to use this power, but usually in another location where they can't be seen.
I like it. It's creepy without being gross. And the "monster" could appear to be a beautiful woman, a handsome man, a grinning child as well as something hideous. It's unsettling because the victim doesn't know whether the being he saw is really still around somewhere, invisible, or is capable of reaching out of a mirror to get him.
For more fun, what if the image seen is of some well-known pop culture icon, ideally one the victim despises? Everywhere he goes, every reflective surface has Mick Jagger, or Miley Cyrus, or Justin Beiber, or Elvis, or Homer Simpson, or Underdog or Abraham Lincoln -- smiling, winking, pointing fingers, laughing at the victim or shaking his or her head disapprovingly.
