Bloody Mary has many myths surrounding her story and reputedly goes by various names. In 1978 a folklorist named Janet Langlois published an essay on Bloody Mary, which led to the tale becoming a popular slumber party ritual done by girls as well as boys. Mary is said to be a witch who was executed a hundred years ago for practicing the black arts, or a woman of more modern times who died in a local car accident in which her face was hideously mutilated The Legend goes that, you should stand in a darkened bathroom and say Bloody Mary 3 * times whilst looking in a mirror in order to summon her. It is told that a number of things could happen if you are successful, she may drive you mad, scratch out your eyes, pull you into the mirror or even kill you *some variation of this legend suggest you should call her name 13 times and others state you should chant her name continuously until she appears.

Even though it's a total rip off of Bloody Mary, you still won't catch me saying Candyman in a mirror either

I've tried this before, and I would swear that for a split second, I saw someone there. But, nothing happened at the time, and nothing has happened since; at least, nothing that I know of.

For what? Trying this legend out? No, I'm not mad. She didn't kill me either.

I've always hoped that someone would pop out of the mirror or something, but i don't get why you couldn't just run away, or shatter the mirror.

So, I tried it last night. The only strange thing was the for a single moment, time seemed to slow and the mirror seemed to shake once. I was like, "what?" Then, everything was normal.

I've done a Bloody mary thing once while i was a kid, in my elementary scool Bathroom, i chanted her name 3 times, and the world slowed, time almost halted it seemed, but i cant seem to forget what happened after that.. i saw a face, but it wasn't a normal woman, it also wasn't what the legend says, a muiltated woman.. It wasn't any of that... strangely enough.. it almost looked like a child, who had her eyes torn out, and her face split, like if by a hammer or an axe... it was the strangest thing I had ever seen at that Age, but later on in life I've seen much creepier stuff...

I know I'm soooo late for this ... but after reading your replies I found it very interesting that more than just one person mentioned that the time slowed down after saying "Bloody Mary". Hmm, maybe there is something to the legend after all? I don't think I'll try it out though
