I thought when you said "Bloody Mary" three times in a dark bathroom and then looked in the mirror, you would see the evil alternate version of virgin mary, who had killed the baby jesus. I imagined her with long black hair, red glowing eyes, holding a bloody dead baby with a bloody knife in the other hand and smiling. Once when I was six, me and a friend tried it in the school bathroom, turning on the lights and saying it. We had said it three times and then all the sudden the bathroom door opened and a female teacher walked in. We saw her reflection in the mirror, knew it was Bloody Mary appearing, and ran away screaming. We never thought it would really work.

I was afraid to ever walk into a dark bathroom until I was about 10 and told someone and they explained that Mary did not have an evil twin who killed baby Jesus. They never told me where bloody mary came from though, and to this day I am not quite sure who Bloody Mary is... but i have my suspicions.

When I was young the scariest thing ever was bloody mary, the devils sister! Supposedly, if you said her name 10 times in front of a mirror in the dark, she would then appear in the mirror! Needless to say, I never did this because I was scared to death. To this day, I will not look at a mirror in the dark, and refuse to have one in my room.

If any of you remember the "Bloody Mary" myth from sleepovers about the woman in the mirror, you know the sheer terror it can inspire in an 8 yr old. One time, my friend told me that bloody mary would come our of my toilet and kill me if i flushed it 10 times in a row. For about a year after that, i woud always stand by the door of the bathroom, reach in and flush the toilet, the run like hell. Somehow it never occured to me that i was only flushing once...

When i was little, my friend told me the story of 'if you say 'bloody mary' three times in front of the mirror, slime oozes out of it, and a zombie-person(who i pictured was bloody mary, becasue of the name) would come out and attack you. I remember saying in real fast and running out of my bathroom like no other. After awhile, i realized it was a bunch of bologna.

in infant school my friends told me that there was a ghost in the girls toilets . Her name was bloody Mary , and she was there to scare you when you where on the toilet. Also they told me that if you turned all the taps on and shout her name three times that her face would appear in the mirror. From then on i was always to scared to go to the toiltes by myself.

I've always been terrified of bathrooms. I had so many seperate fears i can't list them all. When i was a kid it was pretty debilitating. I wouldn't go to the bathroom at school til i was in high school and would hold it til i got home(well, tried to anyway, unsuccessfully at times). Even now (i'm 22) i don't like going in bathrooms i've never been in before. The most prevalent belief was that sharks lived under the bathroom floor. Not just in the tub. They could eat me on the toilet or the shower or standing in front of the sink. I thought little mini sharks lived inside the toilet bowl. (As an aside: I also thought sharks lived in the deep end of the swimming pool) Til I was probably 15, I always left the bathroom door open a little so i could escape quickly if i needed to. I hated public bathrooms because the stalls scared me. I could just imagine some evil goblin or something sticking their heads/hands/claws under the stall walls and grabbing me. I didn't like the mirrors in any bathrooms due to all the bloody mary stories i heard at school. My trips to the bathroom (if you could actually convince me to go in one) were very fast and sometimes involved me not actually zipping up til i was already outside the bathroom just so i could get out faster.

bathrooms... the scariest place in the world!

When I was in grade one somebody told me that if at midnight you go into the bathroom, turn off the light, lock the door, flush the toilet and say Bloody Mary 3 times, Bloody Mary would come out of the mirror and kill you. My friends and I believed this until one of my friend's older brother forced us to try it, with him standing outside ready to save us if she appeared.

When I was 10 or 12 I was introduced to the Bloody Mary urban legend (stand in front of a mirror in the dark, speak the name Bloody Mary a lot, maybe spin around three times, creepy things happen). So at a big sleepover party we all faced our fears and crammed into the bathroom. On the third spin, when the ritual reached a climax, my slipper hit the springy door-stopper and made that sound that springs make going back and forth. But I didn't feel it so none of us knew what happened, which resulted in a stampede of screaming preteen girls spewing from the bathroom in all directions. Let's just say it took me years to look into a mirror in the dark again.

I, like most kids of the time, was a big believer of the "Bloody Mary" trick. My friend and I finally worked up the courage to do it, and we began chanting the infamous words, "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary,"
Just then, my mother (who was also named Mary) popped in, wondering what on earth we were doing in the bathroom with a tea candle.
My friend's overactive imagination came up with the story that I was a descendant of Mary Tudor, and therefore, whenever I tried the "Bloody Mary" thing, I would be unharmed!
I pranced around haughtily the next few days, until I was captivated by the Ouija board, and my "great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandmother" finally died.

I was about 10 years old at a sleep over when a few girls did Bloody Mary in the downstairs bathroom. I was so freaked out about it that I didn't use that bathroom the rest of the time I was there, even during the day, and, to this day, I can't look at mirrors at night.

My sister told me that if I said "Bloody Mary" three times in the same room as a mirror, Mary would come in your sleep and kill you. I used to get so scared because I'd just think "Bloody Mary" and once you start thinking it, it repeats in your head. I just knew she would come get me.

Little Sister

i used to belive that if you stare at yourself long enouf in the mirror your reflection would turn into a freaky lookin monster!

i also thought (still do....kinda) that if you say "bloody mary" 3 times while the water faucet is running she would pop out and kill you! i was soo scared when i heard that. i believe it cuz my friend tried it at school in the bathroom and saw her in the mirror and the doors locked on her.(thats wat she said) another friend tried it and heard voices whispering to her.......i never tried bloody mary and NEVER will

when i was little someone told me the story of bloody mary. im almost 20 and still can't look in the mirror late at night.

When I was little someone told me that if you spun around 3 times in the bathroom when the lights were out and said ''Bloody Mary,Bloody Mary,Bloody Mary'' she would appear in the mirror. And would haunt you when ever you went into the bathroom to go #1 or #2. So I would never go into the bathroom when the lights were off in fear of my brother coming in and saying ''BLOODY MARY BLOODY MARY BLOODY MARY!''

someone once told me when i was about seven that a little boy went into the bathroom and said bloody mary three times and when his brother came home, he say blood all over the walls and the boy hanging there with a message on the mirror saying " from bloody mary". this story scred the hell out of me for years!

My papa is Phillipino & one time when I slept over at his house when I was little he told me the phillipine legend of bloody mary (Way different than the american) & he said if I didn't go to sleep when my elders told me to then bloody mary would come in while I was alone in my room & scratch my face off & use it as hers. to this day I'm still more afraid of that legend than the american verion.

When I was like 6 or 7 at school me and a bunch of my friends were suppose to go in the bathroom one by one and do "Bloody Mary" and see if you could "see" her. Well i was scared and didnt wanna see her so i didnt do anything. All the other kids came back and said that when they flushed the toliet (like they were supppose to) saw her in the mirror. So from then on for a long time i thought if you flushed the toliet and looked in the mirror you would "see her" so i would flush the toliet and run out the bathroom

I used to believe that if you went past a mirror in the dark, a bloody woman would be there staring at you and if you made eye contact with her, she would jump out and drag you into the mirror world. I would always refuse to look at a mirror if I went past one in the dark. I think I got this from "bloody mary" stories that kids told me when I was little.
