The Story of Bloody Mary
Rachel Ann Lam (4D)
Long time ago, in Thailand, there was a big house far away from the city where
there lived a couple who always argued for some reason. One day, the girl, Amy,
wore a white dress and committed suicide. Feeling worried that she would come
back for revenge, her boyfriend, hid himself under the bed for a week. In the end,
he died of starvation. From then on, rumour had it that the house was haunted.
Ten years later, something weird happened in that house. A volunteer called Mary
went to visit the house one day but she hadn’t heard of the rumour before. So she
entered the place without hesitation. When she opened the door, a gust of wind
suddenly blew over, and the door shut immediately. This gave her the creeps. But
she ignored that and kept walking with a glimmer of light from her torch. Just
when she was about to walk up the stairs, she was shocked to see many bloody
footprints and a few skulls on the floor. Mary trembled with fear. She couldn’t
walk a step more and her body kept shaking.
Suddenly, she saw a shadow pass by. Thinking that it may be an illusion, she
calmed down and kept walking. Then, she stopped by an empty room. After that,
she heard a strange noise from behind the door. When she turned her head around,
she saw a woman with long hair wearing a white dress standing behind the curtain.
The woman looked very pale and her face had bloodstains that look like her tears.
Mary felt panic so she tried to escape. She immediately ran downstairs. Then the
woman followed her, crawling on her broken hands and feet. For every step she
made, she left a bloody footprint on the floor and made a strange noise. Step by
step, the long haired woman got closer to Mary. Just when Mary took a closer
look at it, she noticed that the woman was a ghost! Mary was so scared that she
screamed loudly. The next second she opened her eyes, the ghost was already in
front of her! The ghost started throttling Mary with her long hair until Mary’s
heart stopped beating.
This story had a history of more than ten years. No one dared to visit the haunted
house within this period. When Mary’s body was found by the police ten years
ago, it was very disgusting and bloody. To grieve the death of Mary, there is a
scary game called Bloody Mary passed on from generation to generation.
