Bloody Mary

Here is a true story sent in by one of our faithful readers about her experience when she tried to test one of the oldest urban legends.  Maybe it’s not a legend after all…

I think everyone has heard the urban legend of Bloody Mary.

It goes something like this:  I don’t the background but if you go in the bathroom, turn off the lights and spin around and say Bloody Mary seven times, she appears to you in the mirror.  It is supposedly some woman that had a gruesome death.

Anyway, when I was about 14, my younger sister came home telling me this story.  I, being the older and wiser sister, told her those were just stories and not true at all.

Well, she made me prove it.  I had to do it then!!  So I went into the bathroom and did the necessary steps.  I came out and my sister was standing at the lavatory in front of the mirror.  I leaned over and looked into the mirror and said with confidence, “See.  I told you it was just a story.”

Right when I said that my hair went up into flames.  I had leaned over a lit candle and my hair caught on fire from it.  It was totally explainable but still really weird.  I had to cut off most of my hair because it burned so much of it!!  I will never do that again.
