Bloody Mary (not the drink ) is possible one of the better known urban legends out there , but if your not familiar with the spooky game , let me give you a bit of insight .
Its a game, that if played correctly can summon a evil terrifying ghost of a woman who will haunt your dreams forever or worse.
To play the creepy game you are required to stand in a dark room , your only source of light coming from a singly lit candle, and then you gaze into a mirror , and begin to say aloud, her name ,three times ,
'Bloody Mary , Bloody Mary , Bloody Mary
Then as you peer into the mirror the ghost of Mary is supposed to appear behind you , some times appearing as a corpse , a witch, or completely covered in blood. Some times holding a dead baby
She will then either strike you down dead , or let out a soul chilling scream from the other side of the mirror, curse at you,or even lunge out of the mirror to claw away at your eyes , strangle you and drink all of your blood , or be dragged into the mirror where you will spend the rest of your days living on the other side of the glass.
The story is pretty much universal , but there are some differences from different regions
For example in some regions it is said that Mary's name has to be spoken not 3 times but 13.
Also the chant is said have different versions such as
"I BELIEVE IN MARY WORTH"
"KATHY COME OUT "
"BLOODY MARY I STOLE YOUR BABY"
"BLOODY MARY I KILLED YOUR BABY"
Mary has also been known to have many more different names , according to snopes.com
Here are a few

•Mary Worthington
•Mary whales
•Mary Johnson
•Mary Lou
•Mary Jane
•Sally
•Kathy
