Bloody Mary is a rite of passage for children throughout the world. It is a divination ritual best played in a darkened bathroom with a mirror, a candle, and a small group of friends that invariably ends in screams. Often attributed to such infamous historical luminaries as Queen Mary I, Mary Queen of Scots, and Elizabeth Bathory, she is known by a variety of monikers: Mary Worth, Mary Whales, Mary Jane, Black Agnes, Svarte Madame, Hell Mary, and Toire no Hanako-san. But what’s the truth behind the legend? And are there any scientific explanations that support the phenomenon? Ghostkeepers Vince and Jane endeavor to uncover the who, why, and how of this enduring figure of international folklore.
