Bloody Mary Rumor

People could be pretty subjective in choosing what to believe, even if they are not sure about the validity of a story or news, they may choose to believe and spread it in the way they interpret it. For instance, in the short story, the townspeople believed that there was something special in the workshop, and this false message attracted people from other places, such as

Mary was often mistreated for her beliefs. She was criticised by the likes of Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridely. People started to call the Queen ‘Bloody Mary’ and called her ‘The Monstrous Murderer’. I can gain this information from Source B. This tells me that Latimer criticised rich people as well as Catholic people and was a preacher. Ridely was a Bishop of London. This source is reliable as Source C shows Latimer and Ridely getting killed in the woodcut. I also know from my own knowledge and other internet resources that Mary was called ‘The Monstrous Murderer’. Mary was also accused of being a witch. The source that tells me this is Source H. This shows a picture of Mary blessing rings which are supposed to cure sickness. I feel this image is trying to portray that Mary had powers. This piece should not be trusted. We know that witches are not actually real. However, the person who has created it surprised me.

ave you ever wondered if most of the weird little myths/belief your grandma talked about when you were little or even now are true? Or Where do they come from? What's the difference between a belief and a myth? Are widely held views often wrong or are such views more likely to be correct? everyone has their own opinion and in my opinion most widely held beliefs are wrong. there's many evidence on how most widely held beliefs turn out to be wrong and this is why.

We believe it because it is in a local or national magazine, and we think that no one would try to lie to that many people at once. As children we are taught to not question the things that adults tell us. We are suppose to just believe what they tell us and we are not to question our parents or our teachers. As we grow older and wiser though, we learn that our parents and teachers lie just like everyone else and that not everyone tells the truth. Even the presidents lie, like Bill Clinton when he tried to hide his affair with another woman. Because of his life he was impeached by the House of Representatives and he lost the trust of an entire nation with one lie. As we grow we learn that our lives can affect other people and maybe even hurt them, and most of all that lying can cause people to lose their trust in us.

Just like in the Salem Witch Trials people are believing everything they hear. No one is researching it they are just going with it.

The urban legend “The Girl in the Lavender Dress” is about a girl getting picked up by two people from an empty street, then disappearing when getting dropped off to the location they said to go.” Resurrection Mary” is about a girl dying in a hit and run then being a ghost then dancing with a man named Jerry then disappearing. The plots for both of the urban legends are the same because both stories are about two ghost getting picked up and disappearing. In the urban legend “The girl in the lavender dress” it states “ There was only one house on the corner on the opposite side, Herbert made a U-turn and stopped the car. There was no one in the rear seat.” (Scott) In the video “Resurrection Mary” it states “Jerry saw a picture of of her in

Ever heard a story so outlandish that you start to wonder if that could possibly ever happen. Well you’ve just been told a conspiracy theory, but do not worry. Many people don’t just wonder about them, they believe in them. There is a great many reason of why this is, there have even been studies done on it. Many scientists concede that people believe in conspiracy theories because they have some uncertainty or fear with in them, and the conspiracy is a way to relieve themselves. They also believe that mistrust has a huge roll in people believing, especially mistrust in huge corporations and big bodies of power such as the government. But fear and mistrust aren’t the only reasons. People also just love a good story, something that is complex and has a lot of action. I mean no one goes to the movie to see a movie about paint drying. They want drama, romance, and lots of action. That’s why people are so compelled into believing conspiracy theories.

Believe none of what you hear and none of what you see. The majority of what people know about

Rumors tend to be successful not because of our logic or common sense, but because of our surroundings. In “Truth is in the Ear of the Beholder” by Gregory Rodriguez he analyzes how and why rumors are successful .There are many factors that may answer our question .But as Rodriquez states, “rumors thrive because those who hear them are predisposed to believe them”. People are not capabl3e of in taking I formation in an unbiased manner, as studies have uncovered. Reason for this being is what Rodrigues calls, “biased assimilation “this means people will process information given to them that agrees or identifies with their beliefs .Any

And even ignoring the more technologically advanced urban legends, there are still some requiring no technology that people still like to believe. For example, Bloody Mary. As legend goes, you have to go in the bathroom and chant her name with a candle and spin around and then she’ll appear in the mirror. These are just a couple of the obvious examples, but there are plenty of other stories floating around, causing preteens to wet their

“Wasn’t that traffic signal yellow? Do you recall that man had a beard?” (Loftus 182) Loftus asked her subjects and putting that possibility in their head they believe the sign was yellow and that they did see a beard although the sign was red and there wasn’t a beard because his face was masked. Knowing that saying something to someone and they can start to believe it, makes people wonder if what they know is true or not. Then people

Perhaps one of the most evident flaws is the continual development and marketing of fad diets. These fad diets are generally characterized as being simple, short-term, and unrealistically promising. In other words, they do more harm than good. Deakin University’s Dr. Tim Crowe explains the issues behind these “Dieting Myths” in his article, Nutrition Messages Given By Fad Diets Can Alter people’s Food Perceptions (2008); In his words, “fad diets have been known to

The first example of this is the Radleys. They are quiet people, and they stay to themselves. Because they are like this, people stay away from them and make up rumors that they don’t know are true or not (lee 8).

One would argue that this was a book simply retelling of the burnings that were in fact ordered by Queen Mary. Therefore, the nickname Bloody Queen Mary would be appropriate. This is a strange assumption because monarchs have ordered the deaths of people long before Mary even existed. William the Conqueror’s army killed around 5000 Anglo-Saxons during the battle of Hastings. This staggering number is almost 16 times larger than the 283 Protestants Mary had executed. However, one would argue that the Battle of Hastings was in fact a battle. Its death tolls could not possibly be compared to the Protestants who were burned during Mary’s reign. However, here the lies the real question. What is so different between those who were slaughtered during a battle and those who were slaughtered during peacetime? In both circumstances, the head of the state was doing what they thought best for their country. William wished to expand Normandy’s borders and Queen Mary wanted to restore England to the Roman Catholic church so that England would be spiritually restored in the eyes of God. Although William had around 5000 people butchered by his men in one day, it is Queen Mary that earns such a disgraceful nickname for having only 283 Protestants burned. The reason for this is simple; Queen Mary was succeeded by a protestant. If it were a Catholic who succeeded Mary, there would not be a Bloody Queen Mary. Queen Mary the

First off, You cannot only base your belief off word of mouth because not everyone has your best interest at heart. What I mean by this is that someone may tell you something without any concrete evidence to support their statement only to tear you down or harm you instead of building you up or supporting you. An example of this is a person
