Origin[edit | edit source]
Bloody Mary is a folklore legend consisting of a ghost, phantom or spirit conjured to reveal the future. She is said to appear in a mirror when her name is called three times. The Bloody Mary apparition may be benign or malevolent, depending on the variation of the legend. The modern Bloody Mary appearance are seemed to be witnessed mostly in group participation play.
Historically, the original ritual encouraged young women to walk up a flight of stairs backwards while holding a candle and a hand mirror at night. As they gazed into the mirror, they were supposed to be able to catch the view of their future husbands face. However there was also a chance they would see a skull, the grim reaper or the face of Mary Worth which indicated they were destined to die before they could marry.
This would eventually evolve into looking into the mirror and chanting 'Bloody Mary' three times to taunt the evil spirit to draw her out.
Effects[edit | edit source]
When a partnered person walks backwards while looking into the mirror they can see the exact location of their partner, when a single person repeat the process they see their own death. It's to be noted that the mirror fills single person with dread and foreboding so that if the death does occur it is not because the Mirror predicted it.
