What is this "Bloody Mary" thing I keep seeing on this category?

Question

Is it a superstition?

Whats it about?

Answer 1

Nope, heard the same thing, even tried it when we were Teenagers..

scared ourselves silly...but we had a great time, but alas the guest of Honor Mary never showed.

I heard the same thing, you say the name Bloody Mary three times, while spinning, and she will appear, but I heard that she will try and kill you...

but not to worry, complete urban Legend, didn't work, but it's a great halloween Party thing to do.

Answer 2

"Bloody Mary" is an urban legend, that has quite a few variations to the tale. I will explain what I was raised with:

At midnight, you would go into the bathroom with the lights turned off and chant "Bloody Mary" multiple times, and eventually she would appear. There were stories that if you shouted, "I killed your baby!" she would appear in the mirror and kill you. This of course, isn't true.

Bloody Mary is the nickname given to Mary Tudor of England. She was given this nickname during the Protestant Reformation, where she had a great number of people executed. The second variation to the legend is about the child she never had. Mary Tudor had phantom pregnancies, and never had the child she longed for, thus the reaction to the phrase, "I killed your baby!".

This is nothing but children's play, and whenever something does happen - it is all in the person's head, not truly happening.  

Answer 3
