Welcome to Gaia! ::

The legend of Bloody Mary is there's a ghost that opens a butcher shop and slaughters anyone who comes inside. One day a girl named Mary came inside, but somehow she escaped from the ghost, but that night when she took a shower instead of water it was blood. It's believed that now at midnight if you go into the bathroom and close the door and turn out the lights and say Bloody Mary three times she will appear. I haven't tried. It creeps me out.

Generally speaking, most of these types of urban legends are based on some real world event. In all probability the story is based off of a murder or a string of murders involving someone named Mary.

There have been reported cases of heart attacks in front of mirrors where Bloody Mary is involved, but these are easily attributed to fright, and no necissarily supernatural events. It's easy for a person to psych oneself up.

As for the legend, many variations exist. Usually, the more graphic the details of the story, the less likely it is.

Well, the version I have heard ((and re- told)) goes like this.

wahmbulance WARNING: I found this story creepy while TYPING it out, please don;t read it if you get scared easily or if you just don't want to read my extra long post..((This story is quite scary)) wahmbulance

Once upon a time, there lived a girl called Mary. She lived with her family in a large old house by the lakeside.

One night, while Mary was preparing for bed and brushing her hair in front of her large vanity mirror, someone came up behind her and chopped her head off with an axe.

As you would imagine, Mary's clothes got quite soaked with blood. The murderer, hearing someone coming down the halway, hid Mary's body in the cupboard and placed her head on top of the vanity's mirror, where the blood slowly seeped down the glass.

Mary's parents found her body the next morning. But the blood that has dripped down the mirror refused to be taken off. Mary had been accused in the past of bieng a witch and of dabbling in the occult.

Mary's soul was trapped in the mirror for all eternity. But if you go into a room with a mirror, turn off all the lights and light a red candle and chant Mary's name three times, she will come for you...

If you are a good person, she will spare your life. But if she can see evil in your heart...She will kill you.

Yes, I have tried bloody mary before. It didn't work for me, but when you think about it- wouldn't the ghost of Bloody Mary just be a head??

I personally do not know what to believe.
My friend told me that he tried it, but set those little hot wheels cars all over the place and he said after he said the name and the spinning or whatever, he said the lights went out and the cars were all moved.
So I'm a skeptic untill I find someone with enough guts to try it with me or told otherwise.

I heard one where her daughter had been murdered by some teens,and she now kills kids who say Bloody Mary in a dark room with a mirror 3 times,she'll take you into the mirror.Though,I have disclosed this myth fake,for I have tried it.
