I walked a friend through an experiment and scared her. Oops! Apparently I'm good at doing that to people and I don't even mean to do these things... most of the time

You don't look like you'd have a scary voice, even a haunting capacity or jedi mind tricks. I'm only sorry on a selfish layman audience member's perspective you didn't *slightly* throw your voice to do a Darth Vader thing.
I don't think you should feel too bad, it was an innocent enough error on your part. It might reveal a subconcious issue she would be better off calmly and patiently addressing through other means in the near future. It all sounds very interesting.
Hope you have better success with other ideas in the future.
I wish I could do Vader's voice. THAT would be an awesome tool for freaking people out but sadly no. I may be good at mimicking but i do have limitations to my range and let's face it; a chick like me is never going to be able to rock James Earl Jones' voice, no matter how hard she tries.
Now you're probably right about subconscious issue--hell, it occurred to me after the fact--but I wouldn't put it past my tone to guide people to that frame of mind. I had another friend who asked me to try different tones for saying the same thing (oddly enough we were talking about the Jedi mindtrick) and when I hit something between monotone and sing-song he got nervous and paranoid. Granted this is not the same voice I used for the experiment but I figure that different tones set off different things in people's minds.
I dunno I'm still not walking anyone else through the experiment just in case.
I never do anything like that with mirrors. Even when doing make up, I never look for more than a few seconds. Whether it's in my head or not, too many weird things have happened.
Sorry my reply to this is so late! My friends and I would mess around with mirrors a lot during our freshman year of high school. We did everything from Bloody Mary (Though nothing happened on that one!) , the aligning mirrors, to surrounding oneself in mirrors before sleeping.

If you don't mind my asking, what kind of weird things have happened?
