Bloody Mary was Mary Tudor, Queen of England, and daughter of King
Henry the 8th and Catherine of Aragon. All her life, she was a mean brat
to her little sister, Elizabeth and her brother Edward VI. She did not
like them at all and was very jealous. When Edward VI died, she became
Queen Mary of England. She was hated all over for changing the religion in
England from Protestant to Roman Catholic. She mass-murdered over 100
Protestant leaders, earning her name as "Bloody Mary".
And yes, I have seen Bloody Mary. My friends and I decided to try it
out. This is what we did:
1) We went into the bathroom.
2) Turned out the lights.
3) Ran the water.
4) Spun around 3 times saying "Bloody Mary."
5) Closed our eyes and held hands until we heard anything. (not saying
this way is right or wrong, we just did it like that.)
There was a low 'thump' and we opened our eyes. There was a bloody
dark-haired girl covered in blood. But it was very very dark, so very hard
to tell. All she did was look at us, like an image painted on the mirror.
Then we got scared and turned on the light, and whatever it was, was gone.
This is the true story of Bloody Mary.

The legend of it here in Jackson, Michigan goes like this: A long time
ago there was a little girl named Mary. She must have gotten in an
accident because she went into a coma. At this time doctors didn't know
what a coma was, so they thought she was dead. They buried her alive! Every night
Mary's mother thought that she heard a scream coming from Mary's grave,
but no one believed her.
Finally one day Mary's mother convinced them to dig up her grave. When
they did, they found scratches on the top of the coffin and Mary's
fingernails were all bloody. There are many different things that I have
heard that will happen when you say "Bloody Mary" in the mirror. The most
popular one here is that you will see Mary in the mirror walking down a
case of stairs. She may be holding a knife. If she is, you must turn on
the lights or she'll kill you. Also she could be holding a rose or teddy
bear, and then she won't kill you.
Mary's "so called" grave is also here in Jackson. I have been to it.
It's out in the woods and you have to walk through a lot of trails to get
there. When you finally do, you have to walk up a big hill and there is a
big tombstone on top that just says Mary. There are also other tombstones,
too. Mary's grave was removed recently because the coffins were beginning
to stick out of the ground.

This is a very touchy subject for me. The whole Bloody Mary thing is
true, for I truthfully know it is. This took place in a small town called
Newport, MI, just north of Monroe. On June 22, 1999, in the Monroe
Evening Newspaper, there’s an article about my best friend, Mike. We were
only thirteen at the time, you know the age of curiosity and the first
time hearing the legend of Bloody Mary. It was around ten or eleven at
night, when the moon is covered by trees, so there’s very little light. We
both wanted to try it out, but to this day, I am glad I never went in with
him. He went into the bathroom by himself because we thought it wouldn’t
work if we both tried it at the same time.
The legend we heard was that you had to light six candles, write 666 on
the mirror with anything red (we used lipstick,) and say "Bloody Mary" six
times. My friend did these things because we wrote the stuff and lit the
candles before we shut the door. I heard him say "Bloody Mary." Nothing
happened for ten minutes, he didn’t make any noise and I could still see
the lights from the candles under the bathroom door. I didn't think much
of it and went downstairs to get something to drink. When I came back, I
was a little worried because I could see no candlelight and the bathroom
door was locked. I pounded on the door until his dad asked what I was
doing.
His dad believed that we accidentally locked the door, so he got his
lock-pick set. When he got the lock undone, the door was stuck when we
pushed on it. After about fifteen minutes of pushing, there was a thump
and when the door opened, my friend was kneeling on the ground and his
head was in the sink. My friend died doing this stupid legend. Please,
don't any of you make the same mistake.

Almost everyone has heard of this "bloody" woman. Some people fear
mirrors because the urban legend of her appearing. The legend is if you
say "Bloody Mary" 3-100 times, she appears in the mirror, usually covered
with blood. I know most urban legends are fiction, but could this legend
be true? I did some research on Mary. I heard she was a light inside the
mirror and her bloody image would appear. I read that she would attempt to
kill you, she would try to pull you into the mirror world, and she would
appear in the dark, then disappear when the lights were turned on.
There were different things you could say for her to appear in
different ways. If you say 'Bloody Mary, Bloody baby," she and a baby
would appear, covered in blood. If Bloody Mary is real, could Candyman be
real? Both can kill people. Some tell this story to scare people. Is there
an actually mirror world? You have probably heard about the "mirror world"
in cartoons. In the dark you can make yourself believe anything you want,
like the monster in the closet. One time my cousin dared me to say "Bloody
Mary" three times in the mirror, well I did it and I remember seeing a
woman with blonde hair, covered in blood.

I have actually done "Bloody Mary" and I would just like to say
that the only reason it was scary is that the tales are terrifying. My
three friends and I were really scared, so we all went into a bathroom
together and turned off the lights. We didn't really do it right and light
a candle, but when we stared into the mirror, I swear I saw a light in
front of me in the mirror. No one else saw it but me. We all screamed and
ran out. I heard of Bloody Mary as a different person. I've heard her to
be either one of King Henry the 8th's wives who didn't bear a son, so
Henry beheaded her, or mother Mary gone bad. I have really done "Bloody
Mary" and am alive to tell the story.

I'm from Grand Rapids, MI and I've heard about "Bloody Mary", but a
different version from the Jackson, Mi story. When I first started
playing, it I wasn't clear who this woman was. But later down the road, I
had talked to my Mom. She told me it was Mary, Queen of Scotts who was
married to King Henry the 8th. She was beheaded because she was believed
to be a witch. Actually she was a witch, but he couldn't prove it. It just
so happens that I am a descendent from her, my mother also being a witch.
The times I've played the game I haven't seen a light or a woman.
The first time I played it, my friend and I saw a tornado coming at us
through the mirror. The second time we saw lighting. But when it comes
down to getting killed by Mary, I don't know if it can actually happen....
and if it can... I'm not too worried. After all, we are family.

My friend and I were in an experimental mood, so we decided to try the
"Bloody Mary" version that I heard most often. We stopped at a gas station
that had an outdoor restroom and asked if we could use it. We went into
it, turned off the lights, splashed water onto the mirror, and spinned
around, we said "Bloody Mary" 3 times. Then my friend turned and flushed
the toilet, while I stared into the mirror. From what I could see of my
reflection in the dark, it started turning into a bright red blob. In
amazement, I kept staring. Then my friend started screaming, and we ran
out the door in fright. When I could see her face, it was all bloody, like
how I saw myself in the mirror. When we cleaned her off, she had small
fingernail-type scratches all over her face.
