Urban Legends: Bloody Mary

Historically the divination ritual had young women walking up the stairs backwards with a mirror. It could show the face of their future husband or a skull, which represented them dying before marrying.

More commonly today individuals or groups would try to contact Mary by standing in a dimly lit room in front of a mirror. The persons involved would have to repeatedly say "Bloody Mary" or "Hell Mary", or "Mary Worth" in order to summon her in the mirror.

Mary would show up in the mirror as a ghostly or as a corpse. She can either be friendly or evil being sometimes covered in blood. If she appears with evil intent she could curse at them, try to kill them, steal their soul, scratch out their eyes or drink their blood or haunt them.

Some say that Mary was a young woman who died of illness in the 1800s. Except she wasn't dead when she was buried and instead was in a coma state. a string tied to a bell was connected to the girl in case she was to wake. Mary would tug at the bell and no one was to hear it as it would fall to the ground. She would then die inside her grave unable to escape
