Bloody Mary

An all-time favorite slumber party game is to summon Bloody Mary. According to popular belief a women named Mary was killed and her face was mutilated. Her spirit unable to rest would spend eternity roaming dark places. To see Mary, you must stand in front of a mirror in a darkened room, close your eyes, say Bloody Mary "x" number of times, and when you open your eyes there she will be--bloody face and all. Some stories say that if you do see her she will try and scratch your face off.

Although there is no way off knowing if there was a real Bloody Mary many people have speculated as to who she might have been. A few ideas are Queen Mary Tudor of England (Mary I of England and daughter of Henry VIII, she murdered hundreds of Protestants in the name of Catholicism), Mary Magdalene (burned as a witch), and Mary Worth.
