The origins of the game Blue Baby, Baby Blue — or Blue Baby; Blue Baby Blue; Baby Blue; or Baby Blue, Blue Baby, as it's variously known — are difficult to untangle; I've heard about this game from several people but non have the same backstory. I've got a theory, though — and that's that this particular game evolved out of another one: Bloody Mary.

My reasoning is this: One variation of Bloody Mary involves summoning the titular spirit by chanting, "Bloody Mary! I killed your baby!" One version of Baby Blue, meanwhile, has a losing condition in which a woman bursts through a mirror while screaming at the player to give her back her baby. It's such a short jump from Point A to Point B here that I can't help but wonder if the first led directly to the second — a thought which, I think, is strengthened by the fact that both Bloody Mary and Baby Blue serve one purpose and one purpose only: To tempt fate (only idiots do this who aren't alive to tell the tale).

They're challenges, not rituals meant to provide luck or good fortune or a glimpse into the future or what have you. The winning condition is simply surviving. I mean seriously people why would you want to do this (unless some dick of friend dared you to do it, and y'all got your little egos shattered, and to glue it all together you do foolishly do these dares).

If my theory is right, by the way, that also gives us an idea of when the Baby Blue story might first have appeared: Around or shortly prior to the 1970s. Folklorist Janet Langlois' essay "Mary Whales, I Believe In You," which was originally published in 1978 and republished in Indiana Folklore: A Reader in 1980, details some of the earliest research we have on the myth; as such, it's thought that Bloody Mary in its current form may have originated sometime around then.

It's also interesting to me that, as is the case with The Raven Man, there's more than one version of Baby Blue floating around out there. I've included the instructions for two variations below; there might be more, though. Who knows how many ways to summon Baby Blue there might be?

As always... well, you know how it goes.
