Expand That was what was behind the whole Bloody Mary myth way back when I was little. They would tell you to lock yourself in your bathroom with the light out staring at the mirror in the quiet dark for 20 minutes. Then if you looked in the mirror and said Bloody Mary's name three times she would come and get you. But sensory deprivation can make you hallucinate so some people did it and thought there was some truth to it.
