Charlie Charlie Challenge Terrifies Social Media
Back in the day, most people heard about strange tales involving Bloody Mary and Ouija boards through friends who swore it happened to a friend of a friend of a second cousin. Nowadays, all you have to do is turn to your favorite social media platform for some creepy tales involving supposedly supernatural urban legends. To this day, I still won’t mess around with Bloody Mary.
If you don’t spend every waking hour on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook, chances are you may have missed the so-called “Charlie Charlie Challenge.” It’s simple: To conjure a Mexican demon by the name of Charlie, put a pencil across another that has been placed on a piece of paper with four “Yes” or “No” squares. Once these extremely important steps are complete, all you have to do is ask, “Charlie, Charlie, are you there?” If Charlie is, in fact, hanging around at the moment, he’ll give your pencil a spin towards the positive. I’ll be the first to admit it’s actually kind of freaky.
While plenty of people are claiming that the Mexican demon took a moment out of its busy schedule to possess their writing utensils, others aren’t taking it quite as seriously.
Does it actually work? Well, that’s still up for debate. The question remains: Are you brave enough to take the “Charlie Charlie Challenge”? The people in the video embedded below were definitely brave enough to give it a go, and their reactions are pretty hilarious.
