High school diving phenom, Lucy, is facing pressure from everyone. Her coaches, her friends, and most of all her father. On a rare night out with friends she finds more pressure in the form of a dare. What will she unleash when she stands in front of the mirror in a dark room and says her name backwards three times?

Bloody Mary inspired this twisted tale by Jessica Hinds. To earn more about the legend and its history, check out our previous episode where Amanda, Jess, and Kevin discuss the legend and its bloody origins.
The Ripple Effect and all characters, situations, and other Ain't No Such Thing stories are © Inverse Press, LLC.
The Bloody Mary summoning ritual crosses centuries and cultures, but why? Where did it begin? And why does it keep spreading?
The Ain't No Such Thing team of Amanda, Jess & Kevin tackles these questions and more in this episode. The summoning of Bloody Mary is essentially amateur spell casting, so we break down the elements of the spell and explore why it works or why it might not, as well as one essential element of summoning spells that's always left out when conjuring Bloody Mary.
Jess reveals potential links between the Bloody Mary legend and 16-17th century serial killer, Elizabeth Bathory, and Amanda shares the Japanese version of the ritual, which...doesn't involve mirrors.
And we learn about that time Amanda led a group of fellow school girls to summon Bloody Mary...and it didn't end the way you expect...

Sam tries to salvage what little good came of a terrible day, when tragedy strikes, and she finds herself stranded, alone and injured, on a lonely country road at midnight. Unbeknownst to her, this road includes the legendary Crybaby Bridge, home to countless stories of ghost encounters and the disembodied wails of a long lost child, and she is unwittingly pulled into the story herself, playing a part she never intended but was perhaps destined for...

Amanda is joined by Kevin and Jessica to explore a widespread local legend, Crybaby Bridge, a frequent phenomenon involving the phantasmic crying of a baby beneath a bridge where some storied tragedy was inflicted on an infant at some point in history. You know the story, you may even have a Crybaby Bridge in your own town. We explore the array of Crybaby Bridge legends across the U.S., relate them to real-world cases, and Kevin relates our own local version of the famously haunted bridge and shares his personal experience from it.

Chronic underachiever, Larry Van Camp, lives vicariously through the films he watches as a theater projectionist. An odd job and a heavy discussion of a Stanley Kubrick film lead him to a film shoot with a deranged department store Santa, and what follows is far more terrifying than any midnight movie he could have ever imagined.
*Santa's Workshop is a loose prequel to our previous story, The Air Sho.
