bloody mary

When you were in elementary school, did you ever hear about the Bloody Mary game? Popular at sleepovers, the legend was that if you stood in front of the mirror and said Bloody Mary 10, 13, 20, whatever times, she’d come out and get you. Another version of this was Candyman, where it was the essentially the same thing, different name. 

Well apparently that’s enough to scare kids these days. Someone I know who works at a school said that the kids were telling her about Bloody Mary… except it wasn’t a game for sleep-overs, it was an e-mail address. If you send an e-mail to a certain address, you’re doomed and she’ll haunt you forever.

It’s nice to see that e-mail is thought to be a valid means of communication with ghosts. And that kids are actually falling for it. Kids these days!
