Background

The history of this game or ritual is really difficult to explain and to find. and the reason for that is that there are alot of legends about Bloody Mary. Many legends are mixed up in the whole Bloody Mary legend . One of them is about a woman named Mary Worth, and many people believed that she was a witch and that she dabbled in black arts. People found out about this and they tied her up and set her on fire. While this was happening to her she screamed a curse upon the villagers, that if anyone said her name aloud in front of the mirror she would send her spirit to revenge herself upon her terrible death. Others also confuse bloody Mary for Queen Mary I,  who burnt and excecuted people during her reign. Another story is about a local woman who was involved in a fatal car accident which mutilated her face badly. But one thing that these storeis have in common is that if you call her name in front of the mirror the mirror witch will appear and scrtach your eyes out, leave you dead, get trapped in the mirror with her spirit or drive you mad.
