Bloody Mary\n\n\nLegend:   Chanting "Bloody Mary!" thirteen times in front of a candlelit mirror will summon a vengeful spirit. \n\nExample:   [Collected on the Internet, 1995] \n\nIf you go into the bathroom and look into the mirror with the lights off and the room completely black, and then say 'Bloody Mary' thirteen times, a woman will appear and scratch your face up/off. \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nI was told that if you said "Hell Mary" seven times in front of a mirror in a dark room, you would see Satan's image in the mirror. The story was embellished further by the teller, who claimed that after three "Hell Mary", the mirror turned red, and that after five an unclear face appeared. \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nHere's how I always heard the story. You go into a room with a mirror and turn all the lights off (this works well in a bathroom). You begin, in a whisper, to chant "bloody mary. bloody mary, Bloody Mary", as you continue to chant your voice should grow louder and louder into a near scream. While you are chanting you should be spinning around at a medium rate and taking a glimpse in the mirror at each pass. Near the 13th repetition of the words . . . "she" should appear and...? \n\nA frend of mine said that her roommate tried this and ran out screaming from the bathroom. She was shaking and appeared genuinely terrified and refused to talk about the incident, but those who were around her when she came out noticed that her clenched fingers were covered in blood.  \n\nVariations: \nThe avenging spirit goes by many names: Bloody Mary, Bloody Bones, Hell Mary, Mary Worth, Mary Worthington, Mary Whales, Mary Johnson, Mary Lou, Mary Jane, Sally, Kathy, Agnes, Black Agnes, Aggie, Svarte Madame. \n\nSummoning Mary requires the right chant. "I believe in Mary Worth" is the key phrase according to one version, but others require the shouting of "Kathy, come out!" or the repetition of "Bloody Mary" into the mirror as many times as the ritual demands. (Sometimes Bloody Mary gets more of a script and is summoned by calls of "Bloody Mary! I killed your baby!") \n\nThe precise requirements of the ritual vary. Some specify that the mirror must be illuminated by a single candle; in others, there must be a candle on each side. In some versions, the message to Mary is repeated by just one girl who is either a volunteer or one selected by the others to summon up the mirror-witch. The number of chants needed to fetch Mary also varies. \n\nWhat the mirror-witch does upon arrival varies too. She may strike her summoner dead, drive her mad, or fiercely scratch her face. She may merely peer malevolently out through the mirror, or she may drag one of the girls back through it to live with her. \nOrigins:   The research into Bloody Mary goes  back to 1978, when folklorist Janet Langlois published her essay on the legend. Belief in summoning the mirror-witch was even at that time widespread throughout the U.S. \n\nMary is summoned whenever squealing girls get together for a sleepover, but boys have been known to call on her too. (The 'Bloody Mary' legend was common when I was a kid in the early 1970s. We typically performed the "ritual" in bathrooms, because the bathrooms of our suburban homes had large mirrors and were easily darkened even during the day since they had no windows. A familiar 'Bloody Mary' story was one about a girl who supposedly ended her incantation with a spiteful "I don't believe in Mary Worth," then tripped over the doorjamb while exiting the bathroom and broke her  \nhip.) \n\nMary is said to be a witch who was executed a hundred years ago for plying the black arts, or a woman of more modern times who died in a local car accident in which her face was hi

Well, Elijah defeating the priests of Baal was a pretty cool story- After building an alter and putting the meat on it, the priests danced and chanted and sang- even cut themselves to try to get Baal to send fire down to burn the offering.... Then Elijah built his alter, put the meat on it, dug a trench around the alter. He dumped water all over the whole thing, filling the trench with water too. He prayed, and Jehovah sent fire down. His fire consumed the meat, the wood, the rocks, the dust, and the water in the trench. Sucks for the priests of Baal, and one point for Jehovah!\n\nI also like Noah's story, too.\n\nMy favorite story... but there's so many good ones to choose from!\n\nI think my favorite is Ammon and King Lamoni... First thing, Ammon asks to be a servant. Then he goes way above and beyond the call of duty- with the sword, and the arms- wow! Then Lamoni calls him in, asks him where he got such power... Then, after he has Lamoni's trust, Ammon starts teaching- "Do you believe in God?"\n"What is God?"\n"Do you believe in a Great Spirit?"\n"Sure"\n"This Great Spirit is God....." Great stuff!!!!

basically a professor follows various clues and comes to the conclusion that jesus and mary mgdalene had a child, and that his blood-line continues to this day.  this blood-line is the true "holy grail" - nothing to do with a cup that held his blood when he was on the cross.  The book implies that the catholic church has known this all along, and has kept it a secret - even making jesus out to be the son of god rather than mere mortal\n\nthere!

try putting something dark like in a Japanese translator and pick from there. Elisabeth Bethory from medieval times that drank and bathed in the blood of her girl victims in hopes of keeping a young fresh. Goth, vampire-like, and sort of scary when you read more information about her at night when it's storming. Especially when I did it right after watching the movie.

AIDS Mary\n\nA man met a beautiful woman in a singles bar one night and took her home. During the evening she told him that she had been raped a few years ago, but was overcoming her resentment and fear, and was finally able to enjoy sex again. The next morning he awoke to find her already gone, on the bathroom mirror she'd written a message in lipstick. "Welcome to the AIDS club." \n\nThe Arm\n\nAn unpopular young med. student had been particularly annoying one day and some of her classmates decided to play a trick on her. They snuck into her room after she'd gone to bed and placed an amputated arm into bed with her. The next morning they anxiously awaited her reaction but got none. Eventually they went up to check on her and found her sitting on the bed, moaning and gurgling as she gnawed on the arm.\n\nBloody Mary\n\nIf you stand in front of a mirror in a dark room and chant "Bloody Mary" twelve times starting at the stroke of midnight, the face of a hideous woman will appear in the mirror. It's the spirit of a girl who was born with a disfiguring disease and was killed by a cruel joke gone awry.

Oh dear Lord. The first answer is that she was a prostitute. Apparently the Good Christian knew the answer without even needing to read the question.\n\nI'm not sure what movie you're asking about, so I can't really answer.\n\nBut for the record, the idea that Mary Madgalene was a prostitute came a few hundred years later. The Church Fathers engaged in frequent slander against women and against each other -- after listing all of the theological heresies of their rival Xians, they'd conclude with And furthermore, he was WOMEN FOLLOWERS!\n\nNow they pretty much ALL had women followers, in fact most of the ministry was supported by wealthy widows. Unfortunately, Xians got started with this holier than thou stuff real early in their history. And most of us grew up thinking that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute.

Jesus peace be upon him spoke in his cradle as a proof of her innocence peace be upon her.\n\nFollowing is how the story is related in the Noble Quran [Translation of verses 19:16 -19:33 ]\n\n{\nRelate in the Book (the story of) Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East.\nShe placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent her our angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects.\nShe said: "I seek refuge from thee to (God) Most Gracious: (come not near) if thou dost fear God."\nHe said: "Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son.\n She said: "How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?"\n He said: "So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from Us':It is a matter (so) decreed."\nSo she conceived him, and she retired with him to a remote place.\nAnd the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree: She cried (in her anguish): "Ah! would that I had died before this! would that I had been a thing forgotten and out of sight!"\nBut (a voice) cried to her from beneath the (palm-tree): "Grieve not! for thy Lord hath provided a rivulet beneath thee;\n"And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree: It will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee.\n"So eat and drink and cool (thine) eye. And if thou dost see any man, say, 'I have vowed a fast to (God) Most Gracious, and this day will I enter into not talk with any human being'"\nAt length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: "O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought!\n"O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!"\n But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"\nHe said: "I am indeed a servant of God: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet;\n"And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;\n"(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable;\n"So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"!\n}

OK, now let's leave poor Bill Clinton out of this!\nYes, there was a story back in the 80's about a creature over in Monkey Run AR, near where I live.  I haven't heard much else.

The story highlights the fact that education is key!\n\nHuman being are born knowing nothing and they have to learn everything.  \n\nThe story indicates that the person did not know that Jesus Christ changed the calendar and the holidays and that the holiday of Christmas did not exist before Jesus Christ.\n\nSupport the Christian Church and continue its teachings - you will feel good about yourself.

The whole story of Mary Magdelaine and the Priory of Sion was created in 1956 by a Frenchmen named Pierre Plantard and some friends. It was actually constructed to be a piece of "Theater of the Absurd." The perpetrators simply wanted to see how far they could take it.\n\nIt has been well researched by French journalists and found to be a hoax. It would have died like all hoaxes until two British writers found out about it and resurrected it. Their book inspired Dan Brown, and the rest, as they say, is history.\n\nThough serious historians have proven time and again that this is fictional nonsense, some people refuse to believe, just as some people refuse to believe that people actually landed on the moon.\n\nIt's total rubbish. Please dismiss it.

Which story?\n\n* The story of Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu?  They're fictional characters, the invention of the author.\n\n* The story that Jesus and Mary of Magdala were married and had children?  It seems unlikely -- although the Bible doesn't specifically say that Jesus was *not* married, (1) it would be a strange thing to omit considering that even Simon Peter's mother-in-law gets a mention, (2) none of the early church historians say anything about it in their writings, and (3) the Gnostic books that imply the possibility of romantic relationships between Jesus and MM were all written, at the earliest, 120 years after the fact.\n\n* The story of the Priory of Sion?  I think it's been fairly well established that, at the very least, Dan Brown (as well as the authors of /Holy Blood, Holy Grail/, one of his major sources ) was duped by the hoax -- see Wikipedia's entry on Pierre Plantard for more details.  Based on Brown's own statements and writings, however, I get the impression he's trying to talk out of both sides of his mouth on this one, so I'm having a hard time imagining him as an innocent victim of Plantard's ruse.

Probably an urban legend. Every town has a "Rock and Roll Graveyard" or a "Resurrection Mary" or a "Goatman's Bridge." Google had this to say on the subject...
