I don’t get it. Anyone care to explain?

[–] Kawaiikurai@sh.itjust.works 58 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Basically an incantation for a childhood horror tale.

Saying "Bloody Mary" 3x will call upon the spirit of the queen who bathe in the blood of youth (well, one variant of it, think Beetlejuice if you watched it before)

Booby Mary!

A child's... game? Kids often at school or sleep overs will spread and test the rumor of summoning Bloody Mary. In a dark room, while looking at your reflection, you say "Bloody Mary," three times.

The low light of the room and the human brain's tendency to use short cuts makes your eyes perceive a distorted reflection of yourself after you stare at the reflection for a while.

If you're on acid, maybe.

Nah really, try it out, the brain can do some funky stuff in lowlight conditions while staring at one spot for an extended period of time.
