Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth were half sisters. queen mary killed a lot of people. i think queen elizabeth did too. anyways. they were fighting for the throne and queen elizabeth killed queen mary. now, supposedly, if you say bloody mary three times in the bathroom alone with the lights off, you'll see her in the mirror.

We were just reviewing this in history.
King Henry VIII (aka the guy with 8 wives), and his wife Catherine had a daughter, Mary. He wanted a son (to take the throne after him), and decided to annul his marriage with Catherine. He married again, and this time had a son, Edward. Edward died because of an illness, and he died when he was 17.. anyways, moving on.
Mary took the throne, since she was the next oldest child, and under her father's act, she slaughtered several Protestants under her father's Act. (This is happening during the 1500's - 1600's). This is where the nickname first originated. To find out about the mirrors, just take a look at the previous advice.

It is said that if you turn off the lights in the bathroom, close the door, turn 3 times in front of the mirror, saying "Bloody Mary" 3 times, Bloody Mary is said to appear in the mirror.
And Bloody Mary, I think, comes from Queen Mary of England [Queen Elizabeth's half sister? Step sister. Whichever] She earned her nickname "Bloody Mary" because of the number of people she killed while she reigned.
There are a whole lot of variations to that legend and who Bloody Mary actually is.
The above I've mentioned is what's engraved into my head and amongst my friends.
