Blody Mary, Ever Try it?

BLOODY MARY!!

Urban Legend: Chanting "Bloody Mary!" thirteen times in front of a candlelit mirror in an otherwise dark room will summon her vengeful spirit.

The Story: Go into a room with a mirror and turn all the lights off. Bathrooms seem to be perfect for this since they almost always have a mirror and are usually dark at night with the lights off and the door closed. Light a candle, look into the mirror, start chanting "Bloody Mary" . You have to do this 13 times, of course. You should see Bloody Mary behind your left shoulder after the thirteenth time.

Beware, she has been reported to 1.) Kill the person calling her, 2.) Scratch their eyes out, 3.) Drive the person mad or 4.) pull the person into the mirror with her. This is an old legend, it has been around for ages. A folklorist, Janet Langlois, published an essay on the legend back in 1978. At that time, the legend was wide spread across the USA and a popular slumber party ritual done by girls as well as boys. No one knows the true origins of the Bloody Mary tale, she's been known to be anything from a witch that was killed for practicing witchcraft to a modern day woman killed in a car crash, depending on what part of the country you live in. It was made popular again in the film Urban Legends in 1999.

Yeah I remember the Legend of Bloody Mary. The only thing different we tried out here was that you were supposed to grab a soap and make a circle with it on the mirror. Supposedly after you did the chanting without a candle, the circular soap scum turned into a fog in which she was supposed to appear. It was advised never to do it alone, because someone was needed to be by the lightswitch to turn on the lights if she came out and grabbed someone.
I did this with my friends and it didn't work. I think we were all glad it didn 't work cause that is freaky if she did come out.
Hey a movie was made in memory of Bloody Mary, it's called CANDY MAN :lol:

I have never seen CandyMan. It sounds cool! :D

Never seen Candyman? You have to! Has to be in my top 10 horror movies of all time.

The only difference is that he only needs to be called 3 times and then he comes up behind you and slashes you to ribbons with his hook (in replace of a hand).

Found a website with a few variations that people have posted in about the Bloody Mary Urban Legend:

I've read about the Bloody Mary legend, but never actually tried it. Not enough guts.
Also, I've never seen Candyman, either. Guess I should.

I heard a version where Mary is a woman who was tortured and killed in some swamp, her body left under the murky waters, and now she haunts the countryside as a zombie. She has no eyes, and people only on full moon.

I heard about the one like freddysgirl79. I'm too scared to try it out for real though.
