血腥的瑪麗。

However, there is a fascinating history and some scientific explanations concerning the urban legend.

然而，關於這個城市傳說有一段迷人的歷史和一些科學解釋。

The ritual comes from an old practice in which young women walked backwards up a flight of stairs of the hand mirror.

這個儀式來自於一種古老的做法，年輕婦女在手鏡的樓梯上倒著走。

See nothing happened, why would you do that?

看到什麼都沒有發生，你為什麼要這樣做？

And those who absolutely swear they saw bloody mary that one time were just hallucinating a dark space can actually cause people to hallucinate which may result in seeing another face next to yours.

而那些絕對發誓他們有一次看到血腥瑪麗的人只是產生了幻覺，黑暗的空間實際上會使人產生幻覺，這可能會導致在你旁邊看到另一張臉。

So yes, bloody mary does exist but only in our heads.

是以，是的，血腥瑪麗亞確實存在，但只是在我們的頭腦中。

Okay, let's do it.

第九，小丑雕像，一個保姆與父母通了電話，問他們是否可以在小丑雕像上鋪一條毯子。

這讓她感到毛骨悚然，她寧可不看父母喘氣，叫她滾出去，因為他們沒有做小丑的雕像。

Done, done.

完成了，完成了。

It's an admittedly creepy story, but it's only a variation on another, more popular herb.

這是一個公認的令人毛骨悚然的故事，但它只是另一種更受歡迎的草藥的變種。

For one thing, the story doesn't make any sense.

首先，這個故事沒有任何意義。

Why would the killer a dress themselves up like a clown and be stand in the corner for hours.

為什麼凶手要把自己打扮成一個小丑，在角落裡站幾個小時。

There are also no historical records of something like this ever happening.

也沒有歷史記錄表明這樣的事情曾經發生過。

所以睡得很香。

八號，《消失的搭車人》。

There are a ton of variations on this popular story, but the general gist is as follows, A person is driving along a dark and deserted road when they come across a hitchhiker.

這個流行的故事有很多變化，但大致內容如下：一個人在一條黑暗和荒蕪的道路上開車，遇到了一個搭車人。

Hi, you want a lift.

嗨，你想搭個便車。

感到仁慈。

Yes, there are written personal accounts of people experiencing this phenomenon, but there's no hard evidence that has ever occurred.

是的，有書面的個人描述，人們經歷了這種現象，但沒有確鑿的證據表明曾經發生過。

他是我們害怕的東西，我們實際上沒有遇到數字六，保姆和樓上的人還記得之前的那個小丑故事。

That's essentially this.

這基本上是這樣的。

But with a twist, this is an incredibly popular urban legend and its basic storyline has been adapted into numerous films including Black Christmas and when a stranger calls who is this?

但有一個轉折，這是一個非常流行的城市傳說，它的基本故事情節已被改編成許多電影，包括《黑色聖誕》和《當一個陌生人打電話來時，這是誰？

We traced the call is coming from inside the house, but like the similar clown story, there's no historical basis of this ever happening.

我們追蹤到電話是從屋內發出的，但就像類似的小丑故事一樣，沒有任何歷史依據表明這曾經發生過。

The main inspiration for the story is the unsolved death of Jeanette Christman who was killed babysitting a child in 1950.

故事的主要靈感來自於1950年照看孩子時被殺害的珍妮特-克里斯特曼的未解之謎。

However, this case does not feature a killer hiding upstairs, threatening phone calls or the police telling her that the calls were coming from inside the house.

然而，這個案件的特點並不是凶手躲在樓上，威脅性的電話或者警察告訴她電話是從屋裡打來的。

This legend certainly has some roots.

這個傳說當然有一定的根基。

In reality.

在現實中。

There have been cases of criminals hiding in back seats and one case in 1964 saw a police officer shooting someone who had been hiding in their personal vehicle.

Like all the other urban legends, this has never actually happened.

有無數的城市傳說涉及一隻昆蟲爬到某人的耳朵裡吃他們的大腦。

Lay some eggs.

是的，小昆蟲事實上可以爬進我們的耳朵，是的，有記錄表明它們這樣做。

However, none go into lay eggs and they certainly don't eat brains.

然而，它們都不會去產卵，當然也不會吃大腦。

In fact, it's physically impossible for a bug to go any further than the ear drum.

事實上，從物理學上講，蟲子不可能比耳鼓走得更遠。

Most of the time they simply wander in, freak out and make their way back out without causing any damage.

大多數時候，他們只是徘徊在這裡，嚇了一跳，然後又走了出來，沒有造成任何損害。

你知道這可能是什麼嗎？
