Hey guys i know someone has probably already posted about her in a topic.. But i don't feel like searching. Anyways about the whole movie based on Urban Legends : Bloody Mary..Is that movie true to what actual happened? I don't know if the legend is true or not. I wish to not try it out to find out myself. But i mean in the movie, they said that she was killed by getting stuffed in a truck and locked and so on.. I don't need to really go on. anyways to end the whole convo which is false the movie or the sayings? here's a couple of story's which freak me out even if they weren't true:
Nikki writes:
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 of a coma, 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.

Okay i am not going to go so far as to type all of it out but here's the link to which i read it

Bloody Mary Written In Review

A car accident before Docs understood what a coma was? How hard is it to take a pulse anyway?

must have been way back in the cave man era. yes.gif

I think this thing about the mirror is just an invention from some teenagers to scare each other and is a desrespect for the memory of that girl ..

Urband Legends: Bloody Mary, was just a movie. A cheesy, low-budget movie at that. Nothing more than a slasher flick that went straight to video. It was part of a trilogy called Urban Legends. The first two actuallyhad a story line to it.

As for some little girl getting buried alive, a hundred year ago, that actually could have happened. It is impossible (except in a case of murder) for that to happen today. We embalm people.

Last, this topic would probably do really well in the Urban Legends forum. yes.gif

Queen Mary Tudor was originally dubbed "Bloody Mary"

http://home.earthlink.net/~elisale/queenmary.html

The urban legend of Bloody Mary, of looking into the mirror and calling her name has only been around for about 30 years. And yes, it is just that. An urban legend, nothing more, nothing less. Something to scare kids at slumber parties and at camp.

THE REAL LEGEND OF BLOODY MARY SIMPLY CAME FROM "MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS IN SCOTTLAND"

JUST SO YOU KNOW THE LEGEND IN IT'S ENTIRTY WHAT IT'S ABOUT IS THAT YOU LOOK INTO THE MIRROR AND SAY "BLOODY MARY, BLOODY MARY, BLOODY MARY" SHE THEN APPEARS IN THE MIRROR BEHIND YOU.

WHERE THAT CAME FROM.
MARY QUEEN OF SCOTTS WAS BEHEADED AND HER BODY DISCARDED AND NEVER BURIED BASICALLY RIPPED TO SHREDS BY THE ANGRY CROWD.
THE REASON WHY YOU SAY HER NAME THREE TIMES IS BECAUSE IT TOOK THREE CHOPS OF THE AXE TO TAKE HER HEAD OFF. WHICH WOULD USUALLY NEVER HAPPEN IT ALWAYS TOOK JUST ONE SWING FROM AN EXECUTIONERS AXE THERE WERE VERY HEAVY AND LONG. THAT'S IT IN A NUTSHELL IT STARTED IN SCOTTLAND AND TRAVELED AND CHANGED BIT BY BIT OVER THE YEARS.

NOW THE LEGEND OF MARY'S GRAVE IS SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT YOU CAN FIND THE INFORMATION TO THAT ONE AT http://truelegends.info/vampires/mary_ketcham.htm
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS WORTH CHECKING INTO...

While I agree with you in essence, what makes a UL a UL is that they have a kernel of truth at their base.

Actually it was not Mary Queen of Scots, but rather Mary Tudor (Queen of England after Henry VIII for a short while) who was known as bloody mary.
prettyinpink
i remember a girl got so scared she passed out while trying to see bloody mary in the mirror in the bathroom at school blink.gif
WeldonKeys
yeah
this one always terrifys me
i always leave my bathroom light on and i painted over most of the mirror
but i just get paranoid anyways

i think mary tudor was called that because she switched religions from protestants to some other form of christianity
thus killing anyone from the other one
but really the kings and queens of england did that every other reign
which auctually i think she had to because of some religions rules about whether or not she would be consididered the heir or a bastard

I have tried it many times, also, with many of the different variations (i.e. with a candle, while spinning in circles, just chanting the name, light on, lights off, facing mirror, facing backwards, etc) and nothing has EVER happened.

As for the legend, chances are, you can find many sources telling many origins of the legend.

The specific name "Bloody Mary" or "Bloody Mary Worth" may be comparatively recent, but the idea of younger teenage girls putting on a "dumb supper" (where the food is served in reverse order and in absolute silence) before attempting to conjure up their future beaus (or worse!) in a single-candle-illuminated mirror dates back to at least the 17th Century.
MoonPrincess
We may never know who the real "Bloody Mary" is. And the belief if she is real or not is going to continue. ^^; Don't get me wrong & all. Her true origins are going to be confused with other things.

Tedez84, interesting story.
incarnatehellraiser
now i heard you say it in the bathroom with the door closed lights off and either at the stroke of 12 or the stroke of 3am. ive tried it and it never worked, there was also the one where you had to say it 12 times not 3....so its BS
Hooligan
We used to do the Bloody mary thing all the time growing up....We'd all go into the bathroom and say "Bloody Mary" three times and then all run out screaming.

Our Bloody Mary Urban Legends was that she was looking for her baby....so you'd have to carry a cabbage patch doll with you into the bathroom before you said Bloody Mary haha..

We also had an urban Legend about Agnus.....we had this scary road in our town called " Harris Grade" it's really twisty and turny up the mountain...all the kids race up and down it....tons of people have died....theres little crosses all over that road....Anyhow...Agnus was a hitchhiker...you'd pick her up and she'd get in the back seat....say something about her baby and then dissapear....
but I did research on that one....and theres "Agnuses" all over the world.
Shadow09
The whole Bloody Mary thing does not work. I've tried plenty of times before and its never worked. I agree that its BS.
Hooligan
of course it doesn't work....It's an URBAN LEGEND haha
There are SO many different stories regarding Bloody Mary its uncanny.
For example look at this thread....it goes from her being buried alive to her missing her baby....and so forth and so on.

My cousin (who has since passed away) and her best mate both did Bloody Mary AND Candyman. I dunno what happened exactly, but they both swore to never tell.

People! if you ever try doing this at any time, do yourself a favor and bring a pistol with you.

Or a shotgun! Remember: Shotguns scare anyone.

Or Chuck Norris. Even Mary Worth wouldn't try and fight Chuck Norris. He'll just round house kick her so hard, he'll knock her into last year. Then she can never come back even if someone does a chant because she's a year behind us.

But yeah. I dont know why someone would risk getting killed by doing this but whatever. If I was to do this, I'd conceal a cross in my shirt and trust on God to protect me. Then we she got close, I'd pull it out and try to destroy her.

So remember, if you ever attempt this, bring at least something to defend yourself. I dont care what it is: A knife, a golf club, a baseball bat, a shotgun, my friend Leonel (he attempted this twice and said B-Mary took one look at him and ran back in the mirror), a cross, a sword, hell i dont know. Just if you know your gonna die, go out with some fight in you.
Sheesh. I dont know wky anyone never thought of this before.

I heard somewhere that the real reason people think this works is that when you're sitting alone in the dark, looking at your reflection in the mirror (i've always heard you're supposed to take a candle or something so you can still barely see), your eyes start to play tricks on you. This is especially so if the person doing it is already in a tense mood, after hearing all the other scary stories about other people who have done the "Bloody Mary" thing before. Once you're in an already frightened, believing state, it's easy for your eyes and your mind to play tricks on you and frighten you. Maybe that's why it's so popular with younger people, because they're still apt to believing stuff like that.

The story I heard was that during the Salem witch trails, there was a woman named Mary (So you can guess who she is) who had scratches on her face that had become large, dripping scars. The children of the town would tease her and call her "Bloody Mary", a name she despised. Then, like many other women in the town, she was hung as a witch. Then a few years after the trials a group of the children that had teased her all gathered around a mirror and chanted "Bloody Mary" 99 times (Why, I don't know). Then she appeared in the mirror, her face looking more scratched that ever. She killed them all.
Then the legends goes that if you say her name to a full body mirror she will appear and kill you, or if you're lucky, scratch your face as her's was.

yes.gif mary Tudor was the daughter of King henry the Eigth and Catherine of Aragon.Catherine was the daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain who helped finance Christopher Columbus and his trip to the americas.She was first married to Henry's brother,Prince Arthur.He died,and she was later married to Henry.Catherine gave birth to several children,all of whom died but Mary.Henry later got invovled with Anne Boleyn and wanted to marry Anne.
He tried to get an annulment from the Catholic Church and brought up the subject of having married his brothers widow which is mentioned in Letviticus in the bible.The Pope would not grant Henry an annulment,mainly because he was worried about Charles the Fifth,head of the House of Hapsburg and ruller of both Spain and the Holy Roman Empire.The forces of Charles did go into Italy and sack Rome,but i forget in what year.

Anyhow Henry did get his divorce,married Anne and started the Church of England by breaking from Rome.
Henry did not treat Catherine or Mary very well.Mary refused to acknowledge Henry as head of the church plus various other things.She remained a staunch catholic.Henry had St.Thomas More,St.John Fisher and others executed for not doing what he wanted. He even had Mary's old governess,Blessed Margaret Plantegenet Pole,a cousin of Henry's executed on trumped up charges of treason stemming from the Pilgramage of Grace incident.
After Henry died,his son,Edward the Sixth became King.Edward defintely leaned towards the protestant faith. After he died,then came Lady Jane Grey,known as the nine days queen.She was through her mother,Frances Brandon Grey, a cousin of both Edward and Mary.
Mary tried to restore the catholic church in England,like bring back the old mass,restore monasteries and convents,etc.
Mary really didn't start executing protestants to any amount until she married Phillip of Spain. She was in her forties by this time.She felt the reason they didnot have any heirs yet was because God felt she was not doing enough to bring the church back,so she started to execute more and more of these protestants.because of this she was known by them as Bloody Mary.

Oh my gosh this subject brings back so many bad memories. My brother would lock me in the bathroom when I was like four and chant bloody mary. Sometimes he'd come in the bathroom and squirt fake blood on the mirror before turning the light on. I'm still afraid of mirrors. I have to buy clear shower curtains so I can keep an eye on the mirror. Talk about serious psychological damage.

There are so many variations of this story, some even use a name different than Mary. My mom said when she was young, they used to chant "Helen Keller". I've also heard people use the name "Agnus". There are also variations on how many times you're supposed to turn around. . .3, 9, 13, 47, 99 (and come one, who wouldn't see something after spinning around 99 times?) The chant varies, too. . . I've heard (besides the basic "Bloody Mary") "I believe (or don't believe, in some cases) in Mary Worth", "Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary," "Mary, I've got your baby," "Mary Margaret", and a bunch of other ones. The scariest version I ever heard, though, was one that said you don't have to say her name at all. . .that if you walk by a mirror at night, she can get you. . .needless to say, I try not to stray too close to the bathroom at night. . .

Here are some cool websites to go to and read more about it.

People! I have thought of a way to kill Bloody Mary! I call this: "Operation: Smoke that b****"
Here's what we need to do:
People needed: We need 30 people, + someone good at lock picking and someone good with camera programming.
Materials: 2 Cameras, Weapons, Three rooms ( a bathroom, a room next to the bathroom, and a room with a camera moniter), Lock picking, Night vision stuff, and walkie talkies.
Jobs for this operation: Camera installer ( To instal cameras in both rooms other than the room with the actual moniter) Chanter, (To perform the chant), Killer, (to attack her), Lock picker, (To open the door to the bathroom), Escape planner (To plan a escape route if something goes wrong)
Step 1: We wait till Midnight.
Step 2: Once night approaches, we install cameras in each room. This will let us keep an eye out for anything suspicious.
Step 3: We load each weapon and put on NIght vision stuff. This will let us see her without turning on the lights. Doing this will make her flee and trhe op will be a failure.
Step 4: We prepare the chant. Four of us go the cameraman to guard him and the remaining number of us stay behind the door to the bathroom, lockpick and weapons ready for anything.
Step 5: The chant is performed.
Step 6: Once this happens, we nned to prepare for anything unusual.
Step 7: Once B-Mary enters the room (if she does) we bust in and attack her. If were lucky, she'll be caught completey off guard and we can kill her. We are to unload every bit of weapons and ammo we have and to stop her.
Step 7: Possible ending 1: We sucessfully kill B-Mary and the legend only is a legend and nothing more
Step 7: Possible ending 2: We lose too many of us and head to the escape route.
Step 7: Possible ending 3: We all die.
Step 7B: If she doesn't appear, we can only prepare for the worst. We leave the building in a group and stay together at all times. I doubt she will attempt to take on 32+ guys/gals at one time. If we leave the group, we may be in trouble. For the escape route, it is reccommended that each mirror on the way out is taken down to prevent an ambush.
Step 7C: If we are forced to stay at the house that night, we stay as a group in one room and never leave that room for anything. We take watches during the night and stay together. If we need to pee, we leave as a group and wake other people for the watch. For girls and boys, though it may bother your privacy, it is recconmended that people are in the bathroom with you. If anyone you know are perverts, have friends who you know are trustworthy stay around you so you have some privacy. Then return to the room.
Step 7C2: We return to civilzation and do not attempt this again.

There you are. A full military operation to kill Bloody Mary. Calacutalting all the possible scenarios of what B-mary could do, the Possiblity of success is 13%.

As for the idea, this is only an idea. I am not brave enough to attempt this, but if you want to become supernatrual heros, then here's a plan you can use. I would not reccomend doing this at all. But if you still would like to try, then be my guest. I will not stop you.


For those who try this, may the Light of Jesus be with you and may God protect you through this and may your results be fruitfull.
