Urban Legend of Bloody Mary at Camp Tonikanee :: Urban Legends Ghost Stories

Bloody Mary Version 4--Bloody Mary at summer ingroup TonikaneeOne night, around 100 a.m., my roommates and I were sitting in the parkland room, and I asked the group if they knew of a compelling contact bill. My one roommate, a 20 year old from Pennsylvania, give tongue to she had heard a ghost legend at the summer sleep-away camp she had at goded when she was younger. She heard the story around a campfire in the woods of Camp Tonikanee, which is in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. She set forth her story as one that the counselors would tell the campers to convince them the camp was haunted.The camp was really, really old and many of the buildings had at a time burned down because of a big fire. Supposedly the camp was haunted by this woman named Mary, who was a witch. plainly, no one ever saw her, just weird things would happen. midget girls would disappear at night if they were out wandering around by themselves. It scared everyone because parents want their daughters to come h ome. So every time psyche would disappear, people would go out looking for her but would never learn her. But after a girl would disappear, it would get especially rummy for a while. People thought Mary haunted other buildings, identical the barn. Well, lowers voice one night one of the camp directors heard strange sounds approaching from a little cabin in the woods where Mary supposedly lives and went to investigate. He found Mary with one of the campers, giving her an herbal potion. But the girl was already in a trance and hypnotized and they couldnt bring her back. They took Mary and they tied her up and put her on trial. As she was standing there, she put a spell on everyone and killed herself with the spell. It was said that anyone else who said her name three times in the mirror would die.My roommate told the story in a low, solemn tone, except raising her voice once or twice in the beginning to give the sense of her creation unsure of her story. The story was told effec tively with hand gestures and vocal inflections. There were a few occasions where she had to stop and think out what happened next, which is understandable because she hadnt heard the story since she attended summer camp over ten years ago. Besides these instances, she used dramatic pausing to emphasize important events, and the confuse lighting of the apartment helped to set the mood.
