We've heard of the Bloody Mary tale, right? The game where we stand in front of a bathroom mirror and say Bloody Mary three times and then have a ghost pop out at us from the mirror?
Candyman has somewhat the same rules?
The Midnight Man too in some ways. All of these games have to be played in the dark with the hopes of summoning a ghost that will grant a wish.
Well, here's another game to summon a ghost that will haunt and possibly kill you.
Why play these games?
Because teens find it fun and filmmakers get another theme for their movie.
A little backstory about the Queen of Spades. According to legend, she always wore black. Was she a widow? There's no confirmation about that.
Anyway, this woman in black comes to the village and all men go crazy for her because she's extremely beautiful. The women grow jealous of this woman and plot to have her killed. They accuse her of being a witch, the head of the village goes along with the plan and the woman in black is beaten up in her home and has her face disfigured. All of this happens in front of the mirror.
The Queen of Spades was still alive and for three days called for help. But none came. Finally, she succumbed to her injuries and died but not before she cursed the whole village.
The only way to end the curse was to summon her and since she was a lost soul, legend has it, that one has to use lipstick to draw a diagram of a door and stairs that will help the woman navigate herself into our world.
Now, allegedly, she was summoned but the plan to ask for forgiveness didn't go as planned and the woman, dubbed as the Queen of Spades, killed the very people who took her life.
That is one version of the story.
The other version is that woman who wore all black, ran an orphanage but rather than take care of the kids, killed them and ate them. No one in the town knew what a psycho she was until one day they did. They dragged her out into the streets and killed her. For some reason, years later, people still called upon her, believing her of granting wishes. Of course, if the ritual isn't performed well, the Queen of Spades will then attack and kill the summoner.
So yes, the first version makes more sense but there are a lot of stories out there and perhaps one of them must be true.
In any case, it is better to simply stay away from such games and instead watch a movie. Or how about a good old fashioned board game?
Umm... So I've been thinking of playing the queen of spades but maybe it's better off living without possibly being killed! Thank you so much for sharing this information with us all! It's saving 3 lives now! I think more than 3 lives! Maybe a 100! So again thank you for sharing this information with us all!🥰🥰
