The Mirror That Creates Monsters: Bloody Mary (Worldwide)

from Haunted American History · host Christopher Feinstein

Say the name "Bloody Mary," and almost everyone knows the rules. Stand in front of a mirror, turn out the lights, and call her name three times. But why? Tonight, we trace the legend from the tragic reign of Mary I of England and the folklore of Mary Worth to modern psychology, where a simple mirror experiment caused ordinary people to see monsters, dead relatives, and strangers staring back through the glass. Somewhere between history, urban legend, and neuroscience lies a terrifying truth: the scariest thing in the mirror might be your own brain.
