Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary

"I heard that If you stand in front of a mirror in a dark room and chant 'Bloody Mary' twelve times starting at midnight, the face of a hideous woman will appear in the mirror. Apparently the spirit is of a disfigured girl who died because of a cruel joke." - Lindsay, OH

"When I was little we stood in my dark bathroom and chanted Bloody Mary three times and on the third time the face of a woman in blood appeared in the mirror." - Ann, CA

"Well, another version is that If you go into the bathroom and look into the mirror with the lights off and the room completely black, and then say 'Bloody Mary' thirteen what I heard, at least. When I tried it nothing happened." - Joe, NY

"This is the same story that every kid tries when they're young. Nothing happens it's just a figment of overactive imaginations!" - Allie, CA

"From what I hear, Mary is said to be a witch who was executed a hundred years ago for playing the black arts, or a woman of more modern times who died in a local car accident where her face was mutilated." - Rob, FL

"Some confuse the mirror witch with Mary I of England, who history remembers as 'Bloody Mary'. Another version of that myth is that this murdering British queen killed young girls so she could bathe in their blood to preserve her youth. This obviously is not true and is probably why people think it's her when they look in the mirror." - Mason, WA

"This was the same concept that they did in the movie Candy Man, right? Except there you had to say 'Candy Man' three times and then he would come out of the mirror and kill you." - Andy, CA

"Here's how I always heard the story. You go into a room with a mirror and turn all the lights off. You begin, in a whisper, to chant 'Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary', as you continue to chant your voice should grow louder and louder into a near scream. You should be spinning while chanting, looking at the mirror at each turn. Near the 13th repetition of the words . . . "she" should appear. A friend of mine said that her roommate tried this and ran out screaming from the bathroom. She was shaking and appeared genuinely terrified and refused to talk about the incident, but those who were around her when she came out noticed that her clenched fingers were covered in blood." - Mark, OR
