Where does the legend of Bloody Mary come from?

We’ve all heard the legend of Bloody Mary.  Someone goes into a dark room usually a bathroom and turn all the lights off, stand in front of the mirror and say her name 3 times.  Many people believe Bloody Mary is the spirit of a mother who murdered her children.  When she is summoned she will pull the summoner into the mirror with her or try to kill them by attacking their face and scratching their eyeballs out.  No one knows for sure where this was started.  From this legend there has been many other stories with the same idea.  I just thought it was neat with Halloween being so close.
