Bloody Mary Ghost Opened Door and Scared Us All!

When I was seven we spent a lot of time at the homes of relatives, and holidays were very special times when cousins from all over the state would come to visit. It was the Christmas of 1977 that me and twelve of my cousins decided to play an innocent little game of “Bloody Mary.” We were at the home of my cousin Jimmy, in Sylmar, California. His house had a the perfect hallway, we were able to close all five doors leading into the hallway, and at the very end was a full length mirror. There were no other kids in the house, and all of the parents were in the living room. At the far end of the hallway were two doors that led to the only two bedrooms in the house. Both were empty prior to us going in and closing all of the doors. It was pitch dark, the only light was from under the one door that led to the living room where all the adults were at the time. One, of my older cousins started to say the magic words….”Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary…….” When she said it the third time we all got quiet waiting to see what would happen. Well….it happened. We all turned to look toward the mirrored end of the hallway when we heard the handle of the door turning. What we saw scared the heck out of me and everyone in that hallway. There was a bright red, luminescent, hand and arm gaping eerily into the hallway, and opening the door. All I can remember is 13 kids running and screaming. In all the chaos and desperation I was nearly trampled on, and we all went out the opposite door and into the living room and we were all overwhelmed with the relief of salvation. We proceeded to sit looking at each other in blatant disbelief. Each of us sitting as close together as possible in silent panic. I remember looking around to see if any of the parents were missing, but they were all there. I don’t know what we saw that night, but we talked about it later in our teen years and everyone remembers seeing the same thing. I have been told several scary “Bloody Mary” experiences since that time, and I can tell you that I have never played that game again.
