You’ve heard the stories. Stand in front of a mirror, lights dimmed, and chant her name: "Bloody Mary… Bloody Mary… Bloody Mary." If you dare complete the ritual, she’ll appear—a vengeful spirit, bloodied and terrifying, reaching out from the glass to haunt your waking days. For decades, the legend of Bloody Mary has sent shivers down our spines. But where does this dark ritual come from?
