is bloody mary an urban legend or real?

Question

is it true if you go infront of the mirror and say her name 3 times she'll come kill you

Answer 1

Hmmm... Ask someone you don't like to try it!

JK, LOL, No, it's not true!

Answer 2

It's an Urban legend and my two friends tried it a couple of years ago. One of them's a girl, and she came out pure white swearing that she'd saw someone. My other mate is a boy, and he tried it at night instead. He saw someone standing behind him in the mirror, and when he turned around, no one was there so he just walked out the bathroom as though nothing had happened. But that's boys for you. I still won't do it because they both hardly lie to me, and I'm too scared lol! Also, when they did this, they found out about it on their own accord. They never mentioned it to each other until it was brought up in conversation one day. Neither of them knew that the other had done it as well, and all those years ago what both of them described to me without the other one knowing was exactly the same. Spooky!

Answer 3

"Bloody Mary" refers to Mary Queen of Scots.
Queen Mary was a Roman Catholic and opposed the reign of her sister, Elizabeth, who was a Protesteant.

Just as Elizabeth was pursecuting the Roman Catholic Church by seizing church property, arresting clegry and executing the "faithful" all in support of the Church of England, which was begun by her father, King Henry, Mary, Queen of Scots was doing the same to the Protestants.

IN this historic sibling rivalry, Elizabeth won out.

History is written by the victors and Mary, Queen of Scots became "Bloody Mary". (Had Mary won, we might have had tales of "Blooldy Elizabeth".)

The mirror thing is all superstition. You can chant, sing, recite or hum her name or anyone elses for that matter and no one will be coming to kill you who is not already on there way to do so. (Do you have some rather mean spirited enemies?)

Practice being aware of who you are, where you are and the things that you do. Replace superstitions and ignorance with knowledge and understanding. Treat everyone and all things with kindness, compassion and respect and you should be fine.

May it all be well with you.

Answer 4

The mirror thing isnt true but here is the bloody mary story.
She lived deep in the forest in a tiny cottage and sold herbal remedies for a living. Folks living in the town nearby called her Bloody Mary, and said she was a witch. None dared cross the old crone for fear that their cows would go dry, their food-stores rot away before winter, their children take sick of fever, or any number of terrible things that an angry witch could do to her neighbors.

Then the little girls in the village began to disappear, one by one. No one could find out where they had gone. Grief-stricken families searched the woods, the local buildings, and all the houses and barns, but there was no sign of the missing girls. A few brave souls even went to Bloody Mary's home in the woods to see if the witch had taken the girls, but she denied any knowledge of the disappearances. Still, it was noted that her haggard appearance had changed. She looked younger, more attractive. The neighbors were suspicious, but they could find no proof that the witch had taken their young ones.

Then came the night when the daughter of the miller rose from her bed and walked outside, following an enchanted sound no one else could hear. The miller's wife had a toothache and was sitting up in the kitchen treating the tooth with an herbal remedy when her daughter left the house. She screamed for her husband and followed the girl out of the door. The miller came running in his nightshirt. Together, they tried to restrain the girl, but she kept breaking away from them and heading out of town.

The desperate cries of the miller and his wife woke the neighbors. They came to assist the frantic couple. Suddenly, a sharp-eyed farmer gave a shout and pointed towards a strange light at the edge of the woods. A few townsmen followed him out into the field and saw Bloody Mary standing beside a large oak tree, holding a magic wand that was pointed towards the miller's house. She was glowing with an unearthly light as she set her evil spell upon the miller's daughter.

The townsmen grabbed their guns and their pitchforks and ran toward the witch. When she heard the commotion, Bloody Mary broke off her spell and fled back into the woods. The far-sighted farmer had loaded his gun with silver bullets in case the witch ever came after his daughter. Now he took aim and shot at her. The bullet hit Bloody Mary in the hip and she fell to the ground. The angry townsmen leapt upon her and carried her back into the field, where they built a huge bonfire and burned her at the stake.

As she burned, Bloody Mary screamed a curse at the villagers. If anyone mentioned her name aloud before a mirror, she would send her spirit to revenge herself upon them for her terrible death. When she was dead, the villagers went to the house in the wood and found the unmarked graves of the little girls the evil witch had murdered. She had used their blood to make her young again.

Answer 5

Bloody Mary is a real person. She was the daughter of Henry the 8th and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. She ruled England before her step-sister Elizabeth.
She obtained the nickname Bloody Mary after repealing Protestantism and bringing England back to Catholicism. Unfortunately, she did this in a rather ugly manner, killing many who opposed this repeal. Thus, Bloody Mary.
