Backwards clock

I have a small mantle style clock. For the past year it's finally been working right but for the two years prior we had a strange thing going on with it. It ran backwards. If you could watch it in the mirror and pretend that the 9 was a 3 and visa versa it actually kept time. It was creepy because every once in a while it would stop and start going clockwise but it never lasted more than a few minutes. One would think that things had been connected incorrectly except that now for almost a year it had been going clockwise and keeping time correctly. Any idea what could cause this? For the time when it was going backwards we were having a lot of hardship in our lives financially and healthwise. Now we're doing fairly well - it almost makes one wonder if there is a connection somewhere. Thoughts? Anyone know the inner workings of an analog clock and how it could run backwards and keep time??
