Mirrors and the devil

There is something about the Devil being associated with mirrors because of the reversed reflection, but I can't for the life of me remember what it is that the Devil does backwards or in reverse. I thought maybe it was the language he spoke, but I can't seem to find anything that supports that.

I'm just speculating here, but I would say it's because he's evil, the inverse of good, so he would be associated with opposites. That's why certain Satanic sects would invert the cross, for example.

I always heard it just as plain old evil, not specific to the Devil but some type of evil entity. Devil backwards is lived, which seems silly. I wonder if there is a spinoff of that??

That's it!!! Thank you. Now that you say that, I recognize it as what I have been told before. I think it was only because the evil beings in The Taking talk backwards that I thought the association was pertaining to the Devil's language. Still could be an aspect I suppose.
