Remember that little story of Bloody Mary? You know ... that light a candle in your bathroom with the lights out late at night, look in the mirror and say her name three times in a row “Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary” and hope you won't be found dead with your eyes scratched out? Or with claw marks all over your body? Or the possibility that  you will be forever trapped behind the glass of the mirror for all eternity? What a fun and cheery tale. Well, one must wonder where the tale had come from. Join Sav and Bree as they dive into the legendary icons that helped form the Bloody Mary tales.

The campfire has died, the night has settled in, and you hear a faint rustling in the woods just beyond your tent. You tell yourself it's probably nothing, but your senses are on high alert. As a shadow cast by the moon glides eerily over your tent, you can't help but wonder: What made me think spending the night at a haunted campground was a good idea? Oh right, the thrill. Haunted houses are overdone, and the corn maze was last year's adventure. This time, put your nerves to the test in the woods, where strange noises, ghostly figures, and mysterious electromagnetic spikes await.
