bloody mary?

Question

is bloody mary real or a mith

Answer 1

Bloody Mary in history refers to Queen Mary of England, older sister of Elizabeth I. She gained the nickname 'Bloody Mary' for her relentless persecution of Protestants during her reign.

Answer 2

Bloody Mary (the queen of England) is real, but the whole 'chant Blood Mary in the mirror 3 times and she'll come and scratch your eyes out (etc)' thing is a myth. Some people say it's real just to screw with your heads, but some people tried it and think they saw something, aka Bloody Mary, aka their/their friends refletion. Picture this, its the middle of the night, you and 5 friends are in a pitch black bathroom (probably scared) chanting Blood Mary. You finish and you all stare into the mirror, trying to see something. You see a glimpse of one of your friends reflections and scream. Everyone else suddenly see's/think they see a reflection too and all of a sudden Bloody Mary's real. Also, a lot of versions include spining while you chant it. This makes you dizzy and INCREASES the chances of 'seeing things'. But I've tried it millions of times before (many different versions) and it never works....plus millions of people all across the country play it everyday, don't you think you would know if millions of people mysteriously died in their bathrooms everyday?

Answer 3

Real:

1 1/2 ounces (1 jigger) vodka
1/2 cup tomato juice
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Worcestershire sauce to taste
Tabasco to taste
1 celery stick for garnish
1 lemon wedge for garnish


Combine the vodka, the tomato juice, the lemon juice, the Worcestershire sauce, the Tabasco, 1 cup ice cubes, and salt and pepper to taste, shake the mixture well, and strain it into a tall glass filled with ice cubes. Garnish the Bloody Mary with the celery stick and the lemon wedge.

But if you were wondering about history, she's real too. Mary Tudor, trying to rid the island of protestant christians.

Mary I (18 February 1516 – 17 November 1558), also known as Mary Tudor, was Queen of England and Queen of Ireland from 6 July 1553 (de facto) or 19 July 1553 (de jure) until her death on 17 November 1558.

Mary, the fourth crowned monarch of the Tudor dynasty, after the uncrowned Jane Grey and before Elizabeth I, is remembered for briefly returning England to Roman Catholicism. To this end, she had almost three hundred religious dissenters executed; as a consequence, she is often known as Bloody Mary. Her reestablishment of Roman Catholicism was reversed by her successor and half-sister, Elizabeth I (1558–1603). Mary and Elizabeth were both first cousins once-removed of Mary, Queen of Scots, granddaughter of their aunt Margaret Tudor.

Mary I (18 February 1516 – 17 November 1558), also known as Mary Tudor, was Queen of England and Queen of Ireland. She had almost three hundred religious dissenters executed, as a consequence, she is often known as Bloody Mary.

The appearance of a ghostly figure in the mirror could be explained quite easily for the more complex rituals, for example spinning around whilst summoning Bloody Mary in front of a mirror lit by candles. The combination of dizziness, rapid movement and flickering lighting could easily fool the eye into seeing someone, especially when the idea has already been implanted. The participant may think that they have seen a spirit, it is, however, most likely a trick of the eye brought upon by the combination of darkness and fear.

Answer 5

The idea that if you stand in front of a mirror and say 'bloody mary' three times she appears behind you and scratches your back? Its a myth.

You could always try it out though.

Although the basis of the myth was a real person. She was Mary, Queen of Scots.

Bloody Mary, nickname of Mary Tudor, Queen of England from 1553 to 1558, daughter of Henry VIII and half-sister of Elizabeth I. The nickname was acquired from her persecution of Protestants, as she was a Catholic following two Protestant kings (Henry VIII and his son, Mary's half-brother, Edward VI).
