-Tell scary ghost stories or try legends like “bloody mary” with friends.

This legend claims that the evil spirit can be summoned by chanting ” Bloody Mary” into a bathroom mirror anywhere from 3 to 100 times. Although the popular number is 13.  The bathroom is the most widespread location to attempt this chant, but any dark room is appicable. Supposedly if done right, Mary appears in the mirror and your never seen again.

Take out the ouija boards and candy, put these ideas to use and have a chilly but spooky night!
