BLOODY MARY
THE LONGEST LIST OF THE LONGEST STUFF AT THE LONGEST DOMAIN NAME AT LONG LAST

Bloody Mary is a game that very brave children may sometimes choose to play when their curiosity gets the best of them. The myth goes that if you stand in a dark bathroom with one single candle lit, and chant, “Bloody Mary,” three times, the ghost of Bloody Mary will appear in the mirror. However, you have to be more than just an adventurous ghost hunter to try this trick. It’s said that if Bloody Mary should appear, any number of terrible things may happen to you. These include: your eyes being ripped out and scarring suddenly appearing on your face, dropping dead on the spot only to be found with claw marks all over your body, or being pulled into the mirror to spend eternity with Bloody Mary’s ghost. This story is a bit of actual fact mixed with a bit of vivid imaginations over the years.

One of the stories says that Mary Worth was a witch that lived over a century ago and that was very serious about the black arts. Like all black magic dabblers back in the day, when she was exposed, she was put to death. Another story says that she was killed in a terrible car accident that left her horribly scarred just before she died. When she appears, it’s thought that she appears with her facial deformities as well. The name just as the stories, are pieces of different stories. Mary I was the Queen of England and Mary Tudor was the queen during the Tudor period and was also known as “Bloody Mary.” She was given this nickname after she would behead, torture, and kill people for very small crimes. It was known that Bloody Mary was barren and for this reason, some people who like to make things very exciting during the chanting of her name will also add, “I stole your baby.”

Mary Worth was known to be a witch that was executed during the Salem Witch Trials and because these witches were usually burned at the stake, this is said to be the reason for her disfigurement. Somehow, another woman, who was not even named Mary, became the subject of this tale. This woman was Elizabeth Bathory, or Countess Dracula. She was of Hungarian background and was also a member of the royal family. She would kill young girls and bathe in their blood so that she would always remain youthful. How she became part of the Bloody Mary legend it’s not quite known but many believe she plays a part.
