VIRAL VIDEO: Latest Twitter/Facebook trend ‘Charlie Charlie Challenge’ has trying to summon Mexican demon

If you live anywhere in the proximity of a teen or spend any extended time on the Internet, you’ve likely heard or read about the Charlie Charlie Challenge.

And unless you have phenomenal intuition, you’re probably wondering what the heck the Charlie Charlie Challenge is and why teens are freaking out about being haunted by a and I’m not making this up Mexican demon.

What Is Charlie Charlie Challenge?

Basically, it’s a new take on the idea of the Ouija board. Kids use pencils and a piece of paper to create a kind of simple board that they then use to talk to some disembodied spirit.

Well, once you make your game board, you place one pencil on the horizontal line. Next, you balance the second pencil on the first over the board’s vertical line, making a cross with the pencils.

You then ask, “Charlie, Charlie, are you there?” or, “Charlie, Charlie, can we play?”

Naturally, because the pencils are incredibly unbalanced, the slightest breeze will cause the top one to move and point to either the “yes” or “no” written on your game board.

And then you scream like crazy.

If the pencil lands on “yes,” you can ask the demon any question you want. But if you stop playing without asking, “Charlie, Charlie, can we stop?” the specter will haunt you.
