It started when I was the age of 5. We had moved into this new house and I wasn’t at all happy. I could remember me going into strops, screaming during the early hours of the morning of not wanting to leave all my early childhood friends. But the decision was made. We left during late December, a busy time of the year. And after moving in, I began to like the house. It wasn’t like the old one, it was bigger. It wasn’t posh but it was much nicer and cozy. I still live in this house and haven’t yet finished my childhood and nor has the paranormal activity.
But after about two months of living in our new home, or so my mother tells me, I began talking to my Imaginary Friend. I used to call her Mary. But often, my brother Darren would catch me saying Bloody Mary, and he’d bolt in the room and tell me to be quiet and stop using ‘foul’ language. I often cried myself to sleep. I was only talking to my only friend.
After a few more weeks with Mary, I began socializing with the children in my street. One, who lived (and still does live) three doors down from me was named Dana. I began to like Dana and we played from the early hours to the late evenings. Dana and I had constant sleepovers, began making up our own games, writing our own play songs and all that sort of childish memories of our friendship, I even began to go the same schools as her! And soon, I began to forget about Mary all together. My mother was relieved but my brother Darren began to feel… unsettled. During that time, my eldest brothers, Paul and Lee, had moved out.
After mine and Dana’s friendship grew more intense, my brother started seeing things. By the time I was eight years old, I had begun to use MSN to chat with my friends. Mostly from my school. I had little memory of Mary left and never spoke about it. Often though, I’d hear voices in the night, doors slamming or footsteps banging. I paid little attention and decided to just keep it to myself, even though, I was scared to death.
I decided to get out of the house as much as possible, and only when I turned ten did I start to confess to Darren my strange experiences. He then, explained to me about Paranormal Activities. I had always known about ghosts from late nights at Bonfires with Ghost stories or even watching Most Haunted. But I began to know more and more about the ‘Other side’.
Weeks passed and I began to feel cold during the hot summer days. I heard more voices, which grew intense and angry. My personal items went missing and often, when I left something, such as, my mobile phone charger on my bed before I went school, when I got back, it would always be somewhere else in a different room. And during that time, no one would be in the house. My mum would be out, my brothers would all be at school or college and my dad had moved out by then.
I began to tell Dana my stories but she thought I was lying.I scowled and began to wander off with other friends. One of my recently new friends, Zoe, listened to my stories and told me hers in return. She had a ghost in her house which wandered the rooms every night, moving items or even furniture.
By the age of twelve, I had gathered the fact that my house was Haunted, yet, I hardly cared. I went on with my life. I’m now thirteen. My items still get moved, I still hear voices in the night and banging along with it. My brother still sees things but now I know the true fact why;
It’s Mary.

i need to tell you bloody mary is mad at you she thinks you for got about her that is why if you say her name 3 times in the bath room alone lights off and only lit with a candl she comes and may kill you.
do you actually believe in that?curious.
i think elizabeth leon is right
no offence but do you know anyone that did that and died?i tried it with my brother when i was i dont remember how old i was but i was young and nothing happened to us.
well i know a diff chant that is “bloody mary i have your white baby” and when i said that 3 times there was a lot of paranormal stuff happening such as loud footsteps, sounds of things breaking, and stuff being moved. i don’t know any one who has ever dies though.
maybe one day ill try it and see what happens.and ill let you know if anything happened to me or if i hear things.
That would be awsome. I think its a protection on your house chant, and you need to say it in front of a mirror (it doesn’t need to be midnight just dark out) and she will appear behind you and if you don’t turn around fast enough she will kill you (there have been reports of ppl being injured) the thing is i didn’t say it in front of a mirror and u need 2 say it 3 times.
oh and i found an interesting site about bloody mary
http://www.castleofspirits.com/bloodymary.html
the funny thing is your going to laugh but i dont believe in that stuff i think its a joke and i’ve always wanted something to happen to me not like kill or hurt just i want to see something but deep down inside what if its true.like i said i have tried it when i was way younger and nothing happened so ill let you know.you know what i will do it by 2morrow night and i will get back to you.and if something does happen and i dont get back to you then you’ll know something hapopened.lol.i will comment on what happened around 9.so wish me luck.talk to you then.
thanks for the info.some that i read i find weird and some i reather have done to me then other stuff.what if i dont have a candle then what?can i still do it without?im kind of excited to do this and aliltte bit nervous.but i told you i would so i will.
kk can’t wait to hear (i also think that it was made from superstition.) did u know bloody mary was an actual person that was an english princess, and died at like age 50 in dispair w/ her dad and husband despising her.
i did not know her.all i know from growing up is if you say bloody mary 3 times something is going to happen.and at that time i was scared and was gulabal something like that.so now im older so why not try.i just think itw weird that she has so many different names.bloody mary is up there with saying candyman 5 times.im pretty sure 5 if not 3.that i forsure dont believe.theres so many things that you can scare people these days with all these myths.do you know some of them?and have you tried some?
well i dont know if i was supose to have a candle wich i didnt have one and i went in the bathroom and shut the door since there is no window in there so it pretty dark in there with it shut.so i go in and kind of not scared but something holding me back but i told you i would and i did the bloody mary 3 times and guess what nothing abouslutly nothing.but does that mean something could still happen or would it of already?thanks and let me know what you think.i just hope you do believe me when i said i will do it and that i did do it.
oh so nothing happened, that sucks.
i was acually a little dissappointed that nothing happened.so maybe one day i will do it again and this time i will have a candle with me then.
At my primary school alot of kids picked up the Bloody Mary ledgend esp. when we where on the Tudors (as it’s menat to be her you see) though it was more a game as all the kids said they used to see her in the mirror of the school toilets and red eyes following them.
I would say who ever your Mary is though, she is most certainly upset that after having alot of attention from you that it’s been turned off and now starting to get attention from you in other ways.
i think mary is upset with you because you forgot about her.you two were friends and after you found real friends. she felt left out.what ever happened to dana did she believe you after or dont you talk to her about it?thanks for the story.
i love the way you describe your experiences! i honestly don’t think mary has anything to do with the bloody part. she and i’m sure the others are just hanging out where they used to live and getting there kicks out of moving your stuff. check with your mom on the history of the house. you might find out who mary really was.
If you think Mary wasn’t Bloody Mary how come Amy [the name of the writer] said bloody Mary when she was little?
Hey everyone. For those interested we have a huge Bloody Mary page at:
http://www.squidoo.com/bloodymary
due you got the right attitude, fear nothing ….
im not trying to discredit your story or nothing but it is just hard to believe a 13 year old wrote this story so either ur lying about ur age or this story isnt true. i apologise if it is but this is jusy my personal opinion
What, just because it’s literate? Why can’t a 13 year old girl be well spoken? I was reading and writing at a year 12 level at the age of 11. I think it’s very unfair to discredit (and that’s what your doing) a young girl just for having the common sence to use proper gammatical structures in her writing.
Struck a nerve there Beautifulmine? Strwrz clearly says that it’s simply his/her opinion. I think stwrz was just generalizing. We have to take people at their word on here regarding their stories. The story could be utter fiction, the person could well fudge their gender, age, etc., etc. Simply because one states an opinion, it does NOT mean they’re trying to discredit the author – and stwrz took the time to make that perfectly clear in his/her post.
I believe (again, another personal opinion) that you’re both right. I think the majority of kids wouldn’t know how to spell if their lives depended on it (LOL and all that stuff). There are, however, still those who happen to think it’s important, and even more rare, those very talented and unique individuals. An example of that is my friend’s son – went from 8th grade into college – never “graduated” high school. Smart, smart, smart kid.
This was an interesting story about what is happening to you with this Mary. I haven’t heard the Bloody Mary legend before. But if she is angry about forgetting her and being with your other friends more, could saying her name out loud at night when she is probably active, and try to apologise to her? I’ve read another story before, where a spirit was angry, and the person tried talking to them and apologise. And the spirit became, well more friendlier.
This is *only* a legend. As a matter of fact, we played it years ago when I was an adolescent at slumber parties. We’d go to great lengths to scare the people who didin’t know about the legend, so we’d prop up lights, etc. to make authentic. For you South Park fans, they have an episode where they are conjuring up “The Notorius B.I.G.” (Biggie Big). It was great fun!
More than likely Mary does in fact miss you. And if she is a child spirit, she can only react to what she considers being neglected as a child would, i.e. trying to get any kind of attention, even if it is negative. She (and the others) sound harmless enough. I would just try to openly tell Mary that you have grown-up and that you did not mean to ignore her. But that you are friends with people more your age. You should tell her she will have to leave if she doesn’t behave. Do this kindly, and I’m sure you will be have no problems.
so what happened to the slumber party?did anyone get hurt?im going to try it tonite and see what happens.
It’s really annoying when spirits take your things. I always wonder what the heck they do with it in the other “realm” or where ever they are. I lived on a haunted farm and something took my favorite dress. I stood there in my bedroom yelling, “Why my best dress? You couldn’t take one that was old and ratty??” It was silly, but I was mad. That place is even more haunted, and my cousin had her favorite Bible taken recently – of all things. Just disappeared overnight. It was an old one she’d had since she was a kid (she’s in her early 50′s now) and she was really upset. She’s fanatically religious, but evidently they don’t care. I don’t think she’s going back. there any time soon.
Atleats I believe this story
Generally, i’m not scared of the paranormal. My house has had a haunted room as long as i can remember, even when we rebuilt the house from the ground up, these ghosts remained. I’m not scared of them, as they are the spirits of my great grandfather and his friends. That said, to this day, the one urban legend / paranormal entity that scares the life out of me is Bloody Mary. I have absolutely no idea why that particular one scares me, but once it was so bad that i refused to have mirrors in my room or bathroom for years.
