The Legend of Mary Worth also known as Bloody Mary

I started this site after I had my own experience with Bloody Mary (also known as Mary Worth) last year. I was invited to a Halloween party at a friends house who had come up with the idea of playing the mirror game. At first everyone loved the idea until it was their time to play. The basic game is this, you get locked in the bathroom alone, where you then write your name on the mirror in lipstick or in blood, then chant Mary Worth’s name.

Sound easy? It isn’t. After a few drinks to summon up the courage it soon became my turn. At first the noise of the party was loud enough to keep my ears from hearing my teeth chattering. I found the dark room getting even darker when I lit the candle. Soon the only sound left in the room was my heavy breathing and the thumping drumming of my beating heart. I looked at myself long and hard before I was able to convince myself that I really don’t believe in this crap. With a heavy breath, and a sweaty palm, I wrote my name on the mirror, looked at my reflection and peevishly chanted the words “ I believe in Mary Worth”

Before I could utter the words again, the sound of a thud came echoing from behind the glass. I froze with fear. My knees felt weak, a loud and uncomfortable ringing came echoing from a jolt of adrenalin my brain had just received. I swallowed my heart back into my chest as I opened my mouth to utter those words one more time. “I believe” came softly off my lips as I noticed a white pasty face dissolve from the shadows behind me. Fear made me ignore what I thought I was seeing, hoping that if it thinks I don’t see it I still have time to run. So without hesitation I continue to whisper “ Mary Worth.”

This time the sound of an approaching freight train came exploding towards me as I screamed and ran for the door. The door swung open and I ran into a swarm of my idiotic friends who where all laughing at my expense. When they finally settled down and I was able to tell them my experience, none of them believed me. They thought I made it all up. I didn’t, and I made this web site to explain what this game is all about… and to warn people not to play it.
