Woman stares into a mirror to discover the face of her future husband (last century divination method). This can be one of the origins of the Blood Mary legend.

Bloody Mary is a kind of ghost of a dead woman in Western folklore. This ghost is said to appear in a mirror after calling its name three times or more, depending on the version of the story.

Some similar names are: Mary Worth, Mary Worthington and Hell Mary, among others.
