Bloody Mary...Bloody Mary...Bloody Mary! I really hope you didn't read that out loud in front of a mirror. If you did, then you might see the ghost of bloody Mary holding a baby and trying to take yours.
You ever wonder who the Bloody Mary myth was based on?
Well, Queen Mary the 1st earned the nickname "Bloody Mary" when she signed an act in 1554, which lead to the Marian Persecution during which over 200 men and 60 women were burned at the stake.
The reason Bloody Mary might be holding a baby or trying to take yours is because of something that happened to Queen Mary. The queen was one of the most famous cases of Pseudocyesis. It is very rare and happens when a person is so determined to become pregnant that their body is tricked into acting like it is. She showed all signs of being pregnant, but a month passed her due date she no longer had her baby bump. She never had a child.
It is a solid theory as to the origin of Bloody Mary. Real or not you won't catch me trying to summon Bloody Mary!
