Back Story: “Over here the legend is that Bloody Mary was a young girl. She was very sick and went into a coma and was presumed dead so they buried her in her back garden. (The story is set a long time ago, back in the days when they didn’t know what a coma was) Back in those days they had the death bell which they would hook up into the grave and if the person was still alive they would ring it to tell the people that they were still alive. At midnight a few days later Mary woke up and rang the bell. Nobody heard it. So she kept on ringing it, harder and harder until the string broke. Mary then started to claw at the coffin lid trying to get out. Her air supply was running out so she became frantic, clawing at the lid until her nails were broken and bloody, some of her fingers were worn back to the bone! By then her air had run out. She died. Now she waits to get her revenge on mankind for wrongfully burying her.”
Ritual: “In a dark room whilst holding a candle you chant Bloody Mary 3 times, turning around each time.”
Result: “First you hear her bell ringing and then she appears in the mirror to kill you. She is usually holding an old, rusty knife. If you look carefully her hands are all bloody, hence the name Bloody Mary. If you turn on the light she goes away and will haunt you, her victims are usually bloody and covered with deep fingernail scratches.”
Personal Note: Good backstory.
