BLOODY MARY
BLOODY MARY
Do not look into the mirror.
Do not call her name.
She will come if you do.
Her name is "Bloody Mary"
This is no movie or fiction.
She is real. Here's the story of who she was, is and can be.
Many people already believed that Mary was a witch, simply because she lived in the forest, in an extremely small cabin, and was known around the local village for selling tinctures and herbal remedies.
Locals were very wary of her and didn’t want to get too close, fearful that she’d curse them or their or animals and those who chose to use her remedies were sometimes even shunned by the very religious for partaking in “wicca”.
Soon, small girls started to go missing. The people in the village looked everywhere that they could think of for them, but they just could not think of where she could be.
A few brave folk even ventured toward Bloody Mary’s cabin to search for the girls there, and although the witch denied all knowledge of the girls’ disappearances, the families were suspicious.
Her usually elderly and haggard appearance had drastically changed and she was starting to appear more feminine and youthful. The villagers were suspicious that she ate them and bathed in their blood but there was little they could do.
THE MILLER'S DAUGHTER
The Bloody Mary story continues with the miller’s daughter. One night, the poor girl was captivated by a mysterious noise that only she could hear, whilst her mum was sitting up in bed treating a very bad toothache using – as luck would have it – with a herbal tincture that she’d bought from Mary.
The miller’s wife was very frightened, and shouted for her husband to come and help and follow her daughter. They were shouting at her daughter for her to come back but to no avail, as it was almost as though she was following an unspoken and unseeing force.
Getting the help of a few townsfolk, the town farmer noticed that there was a light at the edge of the woods. When they got closer, they noticed again that Mary Worth was standing in a clearing, next to a huge oak tree.
She was holding a wand, pointing it towards the miller’s home, and was almost glowing with an unnatural light – and the miller’s daughter was headed straight toward that light.
Once the farmers and the miller’s father noticed just what Mary Worth was doing, they set upon her with pitchforks and guns and when she realised that everyone from the village knew what she was, she broke the spell and made for the forest.
So how did Bloody Mary die? Well, she wasn’t quick enough for the farmer. Quickly loading his gun with silver bullets in the event that Mary ever decided to turn her attention towards his daughter, he fired a shot and caught her in the hip.
She was caught, kicking, thrashing and screaming and tied to a stake and a bonfire was promptly built so that this supposed witch could be gone for good.
As she was burning, she set a curse upon the villagers and told them that if they ever dared to utter her name in a mirror, she would be back for them – her spirit would return to wherever they summoned her from to exact her revenge.
Unfortunately for the villagers with missing children, when they got back home to the village and returned to Mary’s house and did a proper search, they found what they were looking for – rows and rows of unmarked graves. It seemed that she’d been using the blood of their children to make herself more youthful!
