Perhaps the shrine banished the evil side of Yuuko from her? It's supposed to be able to ward off evil spirits or something. I'm currently not sure whether Yuuko's able to ignore physical rules and walk through walls, floors or fly. She's a ghost after all.. but she had to knock to get someone to open the door for her. The only example that suggests she can defy the laws of nature is that she appeared behind Teiichi when they first met, but he had to smash the mirror to access her body.

Perhaps Yuuko placed the mirror there herself.. who knows. It seemed awfully well built compared to her makeshift trespass barrier right now.

I really like the fantasy setting of the school with such unbelievable planning/construction, as well as the colours used in depicting the night sky. Combining that with the use of flashes and silhouette, it really does give off a Shaft feel that is more refined and less abstract.
