I used to be a cowardly girl, being unable to sleep alone due to fear of darkness. I

took forever to brush my teeth, afraid that something would pop out and grab me. I

remember the first time I heard the chilling tale of Bloody Mary. It is a quiet night of

October with crisp air and cool breeze, a group of my older sister's friends. Seven or

eight people sitting together in the garden of our house. I can still remember they

called that night "Horror bedtime". The eldest boy named Jan, read the story to us

with deep voice from a book with the face of a sliced-up, gruesome, grinning face of a

skeletal woman on the cover. I believe it was called "Scary Stories to Read in the

The woman, in her anguish, brutally

committed suicide in her bathroom. That night, her spirit haunted and killed the man

who took her son as he gazed into the bathroom mirror. But Bloody Mary's vengeance

is not complete.At midnight, if you say her name in front of your bathroom mirror three

times, she will come for you. Grant you a wish, or kill you.

There were many different tales over that October night, but Bloody Marry was the

crying to my parents, but they laughed out loudly and said it easily " It must

be your sister's work, just ignore it." . Suddenly, a sense of embarrassing grabbed me,

courage came out and I decided to overcome my fear, no one can make jokes on me.

That night, I went into the bathroom and turned on both sets of lights. I stared at

the mirror for a long time, afraid to do anything. I was utterly terrified, afraid that I

would anger Bloody Mary somehow, since I had not forwarded the text. But I kept

talking to myself, " I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid..." Slowly, I managed to open the
