When I was 7 years old
My friend’s older sister (Amy) told me how to meet
a ghost on Friday the 13th
1. Take a candle into a dark bathroom
2. Say the ghost's name 3 times while spinning in
a circle
3. Then look into the mirror
The ghost's name is Bloody Mary

On a dark night in 1991 I lit my candle
Then I went into the bathroom and turned off the
light.
I put the candle in front of the mirror
Even with the candle it was still very dark and
scary
