Bloody Mary: The real truth

Ever heard of the so called Bloody Mary who just happened to killed herself and her spirit lays in every bathroom ready to disfigure any one's face if you close the lights, look in the mirror, and chant.
Who can forget the scary story of Bloody Mary, the evil spirit who will scratch your eyes out when summoned? Most people heard the Bloody Mary legend when they were children, listening to spooky ghost stories around the campfire. The tale is still told at slumber parties, camp outs, and late-night bonfire parties.
The legend claims that the evil woman can be summoned by chanting "Bloody Mary" into a mirror anywhere from three to one-hundred times in a darkened room lit only by a candle. (Thirteen seems to be the most popular number of chants, appropriately so.) The bathroom is the most popular setting to test out the legend, but other dark rooms seem applicable.
After the given amount of chants, the spirit will then appear in a mirror to claw your eyes out. Death will follow. Other variations have her driving you insane or pulling you into the mirror, never to be seen again.
Who Bloody Mary really is remains a mystery. While there are many versions of this story, most accounts point to a woman named Mary Worth, who was horribly disfigured in a car crash. Some people still tell of a witch who was burned at the stake and has returned for revenge, or it may be the devil himself who comes for your soul.
Why do people even make these kind of stories? Really a ghost, I men how lame can that get? But is it really true if you went into the bathroom and id what you were suppose to do your face would come out to be messed up? Some people on the Internet wrote this:
 As told on the Internet, Dec. 21, 1997:
Some of my friends, five of us, cramped ourselves into a small bathroom in my friend Cathryn's House. We ended up saying Bloody Mary (more like chanting it) about 20 times or so for anything to appear. When we did finally see something it started out as a green glow then the darkened portrait of a face became more visible, by that time half of us were screaming so we knocked each other down trying to get out of the bathroom and then I flipped on the light. It was a welcome relief.
I really don't believe that but what would people get out of writing on the Internet, maybe scaring someone out of their wits is a fun idea to them but not to me. I watched the movie "The Legend Of Bloody Mary"  with my mother (thank god) and it showed how Bloody Mary commit suicide and three woman who started saying that Bloody Mary wasn't real tried and made the biggest mistake of their life.
Sometimes things scary enough make you have nightmares but I'll point that out to you that everything they show is not real. If you ever proved to the world than ghosts are real than talk to me about them.
While you may think you're safe from mean, old Bloody Mary, think again... Legend has it that if you are near a mirror in total darkness, she can still come for you, regardless of whether or not you're trying to call for her. (So Don't)

  2. Emily,
    That's is funny because it happens to everyone no matter what gender they are! I wonder if it is true, i hope not though. Let's hope Bloody Mary is just a myth.
