The Curse of the Bloody Mary

Where revenge never dies

By S Vishnu VilashiniPublished 3 years ago 4 min read

Once upon a time, there was a small town called Willow Creek that was rumored to be cursed. The curse was said to be the result of a young girl named Mary, who lived in the town many years ago.

Mary was said to be a beautiful and gentle soul, but she was plagued by a terrible secret. It was rumored that she had murdered her own baby out of pure spite and anger, and that her ghost now roamed the town seeking revenge.

One fateful night, a group of teenagers decided to test the curse by performing the ritual of the Bloody Mary. They gathered in a bathroom with a lit candle and a mirror, and repeated the name "Bloody Mary" three times while looking into the mirror.

To their horror, they saw the ghostly image of Mary appear in the mirror, her eyes full of anger and malice. She screamed at the teens, telling them that they had awakened her wrath and that she would seek revenge on all who had invoked her curse.

From that night on, strange things began to happen in Willow Creek. People would hear ghostly whispers in the dark, doors would slam shut on their own, and ghostly apparitions would appear in mirrors. Many residents left the town in fear, but others remained, too afraid to leave.

Years went by, and the Curse of the Bloody Mary became a distant memory. But the legend still lives on, and many say that on quiet nights, the ghost of Mary can still be seen roaming the town, seeking revenge on those who invoked her curse. To this day, no one knows the true extent of her power, but those who have crossed her path live in fear of her wrath.

As the years passed, people began to forget about the Curse of the Bloody Mary and the legend was relegated to a distant memory. However, one day, a group of teenagers came to Willow Creek on a dare. They were skeptical about the ghost stories and thought it would be fun to perform the ritual once again.

To their surprise, when they invoked Mary's name in front of the mirror, her ghostly apparition appeared immediately. This time, she was angrier than ever before and she began to torment the teenagers, causing the room to shake and the candles to flicker.

The teenagers were paralyzed with fear, and they couldn't escape the bathroom no matter how hard they tried. Eventually, they passed out from fear, and when they woke up, they found themselves outside the bathroom with no memory of what had happened.

From that day on, the teenagers were never the same again. They all suffered from intense hallucinations and nightmares, and some even claimed to see the ghost of Mary everywhere they went. They all eventually left Willow Creek, but the legend of the Curse of the Bloody Mary lived on, as a reminder of the dangers of playing with dark magic and the consequences of angering a ghost from beyond the grave.

To this day, the legend of the Curse of the Bloody Mary still holds power in Willow Creek, and many say that if you dare to perform the ritual, you'll find yourself at the mercy of a vengeful ghost, seeking revenge for her unborn child.

As time went by, fewer and fewer people visited Willow Creek and the legend of the Curse of the Bloody Mary was all but forgotten. However, one Halloween night, a group of thrill-seeking college students decided to spend the night in the abandoned bathroom where the ritual had taken place.

They brought with them candles, a mirror, and plenty of bravado, thinking that the legend was just a silly myth. But as soon as they started the ritual, they knew that they had made a terrible mistake.

Mary's ghost appeared immediately, and this time, she was more powerful and angry than ever before. The students tried to run, but they were trapped in the bathroom, unable to escape the wrath of the vengeful ghost.

Hours later, when the students failed to return, a search party was sent out to find them. What they found was a horrifying scene - the bathroom was in shambles, and the students were nowhere to be found. To this day, the students have never been seen again, and some say that they are still trapped in the bathroom with Mary's ghost, cursed to suffer her wrath for all eternity.

The legend of the Curse of the Bloody Mary still lives on in Willow Creek, and many believe that the ghost of Mary still haunts the abandoned bathroom, seeking revenge for her unborn child. It is said that if you dare to perform the ritual, you'll find yourself at the mercy of a vengeful ghost, forever trapped in the bathroom with no hope of escape.

In the years that followed, people began to avoid Willow Creek, believing that it was cursed and haunted by the vengeful ghost of Mary. But as the years passed, a new generation of thrill-seekers emerged, who were not afraid of the legend and wanted to test their bravery by performing the ritual.

However, as soon as they started the ritual, they were met with the same fate as the previous groups. Mary's ghost appeared, and this time, she was more powerful and angry than ever before. The young thrill-seekers tried to run, but they were trapped in the bathroom, unable to escape the wrath of the vengeful ghost.

Eventually, the local authorities closed the abandoned bathroom and sealed it off, hoping to put an end to the legend once and for all. But even to this day, people still report hearing strange noises and seeing ghostly apparitions near the bathroom, and some say that Mary's ghost still haunts the area, seeking revenge for her unborn child.

So if you ever find yourself in Willow Creek, beware of the Curse of the Bloody Mary, and never, ever perform the ritual. For if you do, you may find yourself at the mercy of a vengeful ghost, forever trapped in the bathroom with no hope of escape.
