Or just - generally - how your days going.
Stuff like that.
Today we are bringing you an urban legend that has been horrifying teenagers and adults
alike since its first inception.
The tale, of Bloody Mary.
You know how it goes - you wait until midnight, you put some candles around a mirror, you
write Bloody Mary in something red - and you speak her name /3 times/.
Now, I could be incredibly stupid and try this out *right now* on this video - do it
for the views.
But I’m not an idiot - and I have no intention of summoning an insane, blood red demon.
And neither should you.
The tale of Bloody Mary is actually rooted in some pretty deep history.
The legendary monarch, Queen Mary I, was the only child of King Henry VIII and Catherine
of Aragon.
She led a pretty miserable life after a series of awful physical conditions that kept her
in constant pain.
Just before Christmas, in 1554, she burned 300 people at the stake - which earned her
the title, Bloody Mary.
The name chanted by teenagers in dark, bathroom mirrors all across the world - hoping to catch
a glimpse of her ghost.
So - let’s get started with 5 Teenagers Who Summoned Bloody Mary.
At Number 5, we have a story from Ezzie - which happened on Friday the 13th, 2007.
While her parents were out shopping, Ezzie and her friends, decided they’d try to summon
Bloody Mary.
Never a good idea.
Her friends had heard a different way of attempting to speak with her - and so they sat in a perfect
circle, with their knees touching.
Ezzie’s friends had made it very clear that they couldn’t break the circle - she’d
heard they’d be cursed, or worse.
They then all chanted, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary - please may we speak with
Bloody Mary.
Ezzie’s friend then flipped a coin.
Head’s meaning Yes, Tails meaning No.
It landed on Heads.
The circle of friends asked, “please may you show us a sign that you’re here.”
Again, the coin landed on heads.
As it happened, a CD that they were playing skipped - and started to stick on repeat.
The group began to feel dizzy and faint - and their vision started to go blurry.
Remembering the curse, they asked Bloody Mary if they could end the summon and break the
circle.
They flipped the coin, it was Tails.
No.
They started to feel long fingernails brushing across their face.
The curtains began to shake.
Terrified, Ezzie shot up and broke the circle.
She slammed the curtains shut.
Since that day, Ezzie has had a strange - creeping feeling - that she’s somehow not alone.
Next up at Number 4, is a tale from Nicole, that has left her so horrified that she can’t
even type Bloody Mary’s name.
Initially, Nicole found it hilarious that people would believe in the urban legend.
So - ready for a quick laugh - she headed to the bathroom, turned off all the lights,
span around seven times and said Bloody Mary.
She faced the mirror, and waited in silence for something to happen.
Nothing.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard the soft voice of a woman singing.
She turned back around to face the mirror - when she saw a woman with long, dark brown
hair - soaked in blood.
Across her neck, she had a deep knife wound.
Nicole screamed.
Hearing her - her brother started banging on the bathroom door, attempting to turn the
lock.
The woman in the mirror smiled - reached out of the mirror, and drew a deep scratch across
Nicole’s face.
When she woke up, Nicole was in the hospital.
The right side of her face was covered in bandages.
Her brother had told the doctors that one of their cats had scratched her, and - interestingly
enough - the doctors believed them.
Now - the weird thing about this story, is that the very same night - Nicole’s uncle
had mysteriously passed away.
She believes that the two are linked, and that Bloody Mary attacks not only you - but
your loved ones.
Bringing it in at Number 3 - we have a story from Matty that took place on June 22, 1999.
Matty lived in a small town called Newport, in Michigan.
Matty and his best friend Jake were only thirteen at the time - but they were a curious pair,
and had heard people talking about Bloody Mary at school.
It was around 10 or 11 PM, when the pair were both hanging out.
Jake decided he wanted to take up what everyone was talking about - and play the Bloody Mary
game.
Bad idea, Jake.
Now - Matty didn’t feel the same, and while Jake headed to the bathroom to do the usual
set-up for the summoning, Matty remained behind.
He heard Jake cluttering about in the bathroom, and then heard the familiar Bloody Mary chant.
Matty says nothing happened for ten minutes.
Complete silence.
But he could still see the candlelight flickering from underneath the door, and so decided to
head to the kitchen to get something to drink.
When he returned, he noticed that the candlelight had gone out.
The door was locked, and Matty frantically tried to open it.
His dad came running, asking what all of the commotion was.
Believing that they’d accidently locked the bathroom door, his Dad retrieved his tools
and began to pick the lock.
When the door finally swung open - they shrank back in horror.
Jake was slumped against the wall - with his head in a sink full of blood-red water.
Yikes.
Bringing it in at Number 2 - is a story from two friends Dave, and Jimmy, that highlights
the real dangers of Bloody Mary.
The pair were 14 years old, and Dave had recently told Jimmy that he was moving to California
- his mum had gotten a new job.
Jimmy was devastated, the pair had been best friends for years - he was going to miss him
dearly.
The thing is, Dave hadn’t yet told any of their other friends at school.
And so the pair decided to hatch a plan - and make Dave’s last day at school legendary.
They would play the Bloody Mary game, and convince their friends that she’d taken
him away.
In reality, Dave would slip out of the bathroom window while their friends waited outside.
Jimmy would then run screaming out of the bathroom, cursing Bloody Mary.
But - that’s not how it went down.
The pair walked in, lit a candle - and chanted Bloody Mary three times in the darkness.
They both stared at their reflections, blinking.
Nothing happened.
The pair said their goodbyes - Dave jumped up onto the sink to slip out of the bathroom
window, but as he was halfway out - Jimmy decided to play a little prank.
He jumped forward and screamed - but Dave was caught off guard.
He lost his footing and slipped out of the window.
Terrified, Jimmy poked his head out - Dave had fallen fifteen feet, and impaled his head
on a chain link fence.
Jimmy later told everyone that David had gotten spooked when he saw Bloody Mary - and so jumped
out of the window in fear.
But in his own words - he sees the real killer every time he looks in the mirror.
And finally - at Number 1, we have the legend of Mary Worthington - A.K.A - Mary Bloodsworth.
In Boston, Massachusetts, during the early 1700’s, there are prominent folk tales of
a young, beautiful woman who lived in a tiny cottage, deep in the woods.
There, she would sell herbal remedies and tinctures to the local villagers.
Some in the village believed her to be a witch.
There was a rumour spread, that Mary had whispered to a young girl in the village to chant her
name - in front of her reflection - in a pool of water.
If they did, they would be forever beautiful like Mary.
Soon, young girls from the village began to disappear.
One by one they went.
The villagers searched the woods, the farms, the barns - but there was no sign.
That is until one night, when a young family witnessed their daughter sleepwalking.
Not wanting to wake her, they followed her out of the house and into the woods.
As they travelled deeper, they noticed a strange, glowing light in the distance.
It was Mary Bloodsworth’s cottage, and she was standing outside - calling the young girl
to join her.
The town soon caught on - and Bloody Mary was burned at the stake.
Some say that she burned away completely, as if she was thin air.
Other’s say that she was a reincarnation of the Tudor Queen, eternally cursed to possess
another young woman, and her spirit escaped into the crowd.
Other’s also believe that Mary Bloodsworth was actually secretly buried - and her gravestone
still stands in Boston to this day.
There are rumours that people still practice witchcraft at her graveside, leaving offerings
of candles - and three, /red/ stones.
Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody M-
