We would go in the bathroom at school and turn all the lights off (and with no windows, the room got very dark), then 3 to 4 of us would say her name 3 times. We did not use salt, or a candle, and I'm not sure if we held hands, but it was very spooky. Often, we would run out of bathroom before all the bloody mary's were said, because we would get scared.<br />I love the setting for your 66, the Hockomock Swamp. Boy does that place sound uninviting. It definately fits the bill for the setting of a spooky book. Spooky setting + spooky legend = super spooky read with the lights on under a bunch of blankets. I can't wait to read it.<br />Thanks for the generous giveaway...fingers crossed...Jen Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07231832870535402902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-29062449549601499722014-10-19T22:01:16.943-05:002014-10-19T22:01:16.943-05:00Swamps, no matter where they are, make for good ho...Swamps, no matter where they are, make for good horror stories and this swamp makes for an even scarier horror story than most.
