Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary

[master_nefer]

I was just reading a Phillyblog thread on childhood street games in Philly and I mentioned this one. Bloody Mary in the mirror. You stare into a mirror and chant Bloody Mary over and over again. At the end of the exercise, Mary's supposed to appear in the mirror.....and I guess burn you at the stake as a Lutheran heretic

That's because you're from South Jersey. You're one of us, one of us like in Freaks.

My Catholic schoolgirl friends in Detroit taught me this game.

I used to make my mother cover the mirror every night before I went to bed. Everyone thought we were Jewish and that someone had died.

I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Guess what I made for you? (Hint: it is a loaf, has a lot of cheese and spinach.)

We in the non-Italian, non-Roman Catholic community have also partaken of said pasttime, snickering the entire time we did it.

Everyone knows that you're satanic.

Satanists don't regard Mary as bloody. Satanists regard her as 'homie'.

Not sure about Bloody Mary but sounds like the movie Candyman
