The legend we all know. At least the part where you put yourself in the mirror and say her name three times. Then a girl or woman appears and disfigures or kills you. But legend says more of what we know, it is said that many years ago Mary ill and died. Her family buried her. In
the years in which Mary lived bodies were buried in a kind of rope that
was attached on the surface of a bell, as it was known what was
catalepsy. Turns out Mary woke up and rang the bell, but nobody listened. The next morning the family saw that the bell was on the floor. When Mary found unearth declawed as these were broken and bloody on top of the coffin. Mary put a curse before she died and now all that's in front of a mirror naming call his name three times, will die. But before that hear the bell that no one listened when Mary died.
The
origin of Bloody Mary as expanding urban legend in 1978 when Janet
Langlois published her essay Mary Whales, I Believe in You ': Myth and
Ritual Subdued. Where Langlois attempts to explain the origin of the legend and significance of the mirror. It was the only trial studying in depth the case of Bloody Mary collecting stories and events of various persons.
But
as in any urban legend, there are several versions, in 1976 Mary and
Herbert Knapp in his anthology called folklore of American children, has
a child called Mary Worth forty-seven times in the mirror and this came
with a knife and a wart on the nose. In 1988 Simon J. Bronner
in his book includes a section entitled Rituals of Mary Worth where he
tells us that Bloody Mary was killed in the woods behind Pine Road
Elementary School and to call the girls had to go to the bathroom and
pinch fingers with a pin to extract two drops of blood, and then say: "We believe in Bloody Mary" ten times with eyes closed. When
you open your eyes and look in the mirror would see a girl with long
hair, fair skin and a cut on his forehead from which blood flowed.
Even
seems to have a version in which Mary Whales appeared in a corner when
it was raining, and a kind man offered to take her, but when they
advanced this disappeared leaving only a blood stain on the seat. A mix of the girl next bend? .
What paint the mirror in all this? In popular culture it is believed that the mirrors are portals to other worlds. This is believed due to the belief that ancient Mesoamericans had on these objects. They believed that in addition to predicting the future could communicate with their ancestors, gods and the afterlife. If we now consider that Mary is a spirit What better way to communicate with than a mirror? .
As you can see, our gloomy friend Mary is called in various ways. In the text above I have appointed you as Bloody Mary, Mary Worth, Mary Whales. This I think is another example of that is just an urban legend spread in various places. Although do you dare to find out?.
