Ever heard of that chant people do about that witch? Bloody Mary? Sounds familiar? No? Ok. Well it will soon. Let me tell you the story of an evil old hag who was punished bitterly for the various things she had done using one thing- witchcraft.

In an old time, there was an old woman called Mary. People called her Bloody Mary though, as she did "witchcraft". You see, all the little girls from the village down the road were disappearing fast. Townsfolk began to grow fearful, so loaded all of their weapons. One night, the daughter of the town's mayor rose up from her rose patterned quilt and leapt out of the door. The Mayor's wife, Asamë, was getting a glass of water at the time- she couldn't sleep- and saw her daughter walk off into the woods. She screamed frightfully and the mayor awoke and summoned the villagers. They all got their weapons and followed the girl into the woods. The mayor's best friend, Petea Rallydike the huntsman, had a skilful aim! He saw the witch with her wand and shot her with his gun in her calf. She doubled over in pain, allowing the villagers to carry her to the town square and the Mayor's wife to hug her daughter once more.

The villagers tied Mary to a wooden post, then set alight the brown wood logs around her. In five minutes, she was entirely engulfed in flames. Mary screamed out her last words as a curse: " ALL SOULS THAT SHALL SAY MY NAME THREE TIMES BEFORE A DARKENED MIRROR WILL BURN AS I DO NOW. TAKE THIS AS A WARNING!" And then she fell, charred and skeleton bones.

All souls who are foolish enough to chant "Bloody Mary" in front of a darkened mirror three times shall be engulfed in fiery flames as Mary was, tortured as Mary was. Let this be a lesson learnt. Don't Be A Witch.
