The #CharlieCharlieChallenge Is Breaking The Internet

[gagTake]

The Internet's latest fad has arrived in the form of Mexican Demon summoning. Yes, you read that right. The #CharlieCharlieChallenge is being called a cross between "Bloody Mary" and Ouija and it involves summoning a Demon named Charlie.

To "summon" him you take a piece of paper and draw one horizontal line and one vertical line that meet in the middle. Then put "YES" on two opposing sides and a "NO" on the other two. Finally, place two pencils across the middle of the drawing so that one is balanced on top of the other and it can spin.

Finally, ask out loud, "Charlie, Charlie, are you there?" or "Charlie, Charlie, can we play?" and the top pencil will probably move at some point because of how it's placed. However, some players think it's a sign that "Charlie" is in the room and ready to play.

What are your thoughts on this creepy challenge?

[Jrenpot]

Me. Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, will I ever have a girlfriend?
Pencils break, paper burns to ash and blows away in the wind...

[SilenRose]

LMAO!!!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

YOU'RE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO PLAY WITH DEMONS?

[Remonster]

I... I wouldn't fuck with that big momma either!

[Noboddy]

I am more afraid of the lady in the meme coming out of a dark room in my house then some fake ass demon.

[kxera]

The lady in that meme is badass, but she'll kick your ass if you disrespect. I love Monique! She's a great actress. @Noboddy

[ObscuredBeyond]

Idiot kids. Marxism rammed down their throats in schools has already rotted their brains. Now I have to put up with demonic possession? It's nearly impossible to reason with demons. I've done it. They twist everything in weighted words, so you need to write whole volumes of encyclopedias just to deconstruct them fully.

They spread their madness around the world before a lone sane man can even get out of his chair. My one coworker is just a foaming at the mouth shy of rabies now. And she's poisoned her boyfriend too. I finally had to pull a Matthew 10:14-15 on them just to get away.

And now, kids are inviting such things on themselves with stupid games? Is it taboo to play Monopoly or Clue now? This is whole culture is FUBAR.

[barbiepooh]

you might wanna stay away from the ouiji board or anything related to it... you gonna open up doors you can't close and thats a fact. i known people who i tried to get to not play with witchcraft and they opened up doors in their homes and had to go find an indian guy to cross the house with sage.

[DaniaMQ]

This game IS dangerous ! ! I know people that started to see ghosts and nightmares After "playing " this " Game" Other people DIED or COMMITTED SUICIDE because they started hearing children Laughing When No one was there , Seeing ghosts , Seeing nightmares, etc ! And other were taken to the madhouse !!

U might say this isn't true ! But what if its true? Would U really wanna go through That JUST FOR A STUPID AND DANGEROUS "GAME" ? NO U really dont ! People Tried it and they got physically harmed ! Dont Play with spirits, Its not Cool ! by the way I never believed those things Until People told me what happened to them because of that "game" ... Dont do it !!!

[Polysewcute]

No, it's not dangerous it's a mind trick game the person who wants to play the game is the one that blows on the edge of the pencil to get it to move, but you're too distracted to see them doing that.

[DaniaMQ]

Oh really? so basically even people who didn't blow and worked with them r lying too? And what about people that got harmed and started seeing things just after playing the game? ... I dont think im distracted !!

[DaniaMQ]

by the way im not the only one that says it dangerous! So A LOT of people are distracted I guess !!!

[joshmoe]

So if any of that were true there would be a news story or publical article for most of those people if not all, so we can know you're not lying. So do tell who all these "friends" are?

[djvtech]

y'all need science.

[DaniaMQ]

They are people that I met so we started talking about that game and they said that after playing this game they started seeing things and some people died !

I just hope that YOU ARE RIGHT! coz if people start dying from games... Thats gonna be bad...

[DaniaMQ]

I hope Im wrong about this opinion!

[Octavion]

What the hell kind of demon name is Charlie? And his one "power" is to slightly move a pencil? He's like the town fool of demons. He exists solely as a joke for other demons to laugh at... Also yeah if anyone else was ever bored growing up and would stack two pencils or pens in their desk during class they'd know that they tend to slide around.

I feel like this is a phenomenon for people that literally never did the most basic crap growing up and are only now discovering what pencils do decades after everyone else already knew...

[MaskedSanity]

I knew people on GaG were fucking retards, but not to such an extent.

The level of gullible is over 9000!

i0.kym-cdn.com/.../facepalm.jpg

[AleDeEurope]

I know right? I'm as shocked as you xD

[MaskedSanity]

@AleDeEurope

And the most shocking part about this is that majority of these fuckers will most likely reproduce. :/

[Remonster]

Well, a good part of the GAGers are young and impressionable. ;)

[MaskedSanity]

@Remonster

That's just the polite way of saying fucktards. ;)

[Anonymous]

As a ghost hunter native to Savannah GA, and as a proud Pagan, this is total BS. It's just a stupid kids game like "bloody mary", which you mentioned in your post. It's not anymore real than an Ouija or spirit board, which can be explained with this: www.rawstory.com/.../

Unless these crossed pencils are contained in such a manner that no air flow can reach them, and no naturally occurring ground vibrations can jostle them, it's impossible to rule out vibrations in the ground/table/counter top, or even your own nervous breaths making the pencils move.

If a pair of pencils could actually summon a demon, why would it emerge from a cross, which is believed to ward away such creatures? The lack of logic and common sense here is the real mystery worth investigating.

[joshmoe]

I would love to genuinely hear about your first hand experience with the other side. Message me pls.

[djvtech]

As a ghost hunter, how do you know if something is evidence of the supernatural, when all evidence for the supernatural has alternate explanations?

[Opinion Owner]

You don't, and that's part of the fun. When you can rule out all the scientific explanations, only then can you begin to speculate that it *might* be something paranormal. My position/job on the team is "EVP", and that has long been one of the most reliable methods of capturing ghost activity. Electromagnetic Voice Phenomenon is when a voice is captured on a recording that was not heard by anyone present at the time of the recording. But I've captured more than just voices. We have recordings of "something" playing with the straps on a flashlight as a direct response to us asking if anyone was present, and we have a playful ghost in one site that likes to whistle a tune to us, and the tune will change if you echo the first tune back to him/her. Of course, these are audio recordings, so they wouldn't serve as proof to anyone listening on the Internet.

[RayNavy]

1. I was hoping I would be able to summon charlie sheen.
2. This game is a few years old so it's nothing new.
3. Why is it a mexican demon. Because for some reason the Mexicans make everything seem spooky, watch. Hey play this charlie charlie game to see if you can summon a Nebraska demon. "Yawn." Hey play this charlie charlie game to see if you can summon a mexican demon. "Holy shit that sounds spooky!".
4. And last of all, THIS GAME IS BULLSHIT!!! Even a slight breath can move the pencil becuase it's in an unnatural position.

[dragonfly6516]

I agree, burrowing into Hell is very unnatural for a pencil...

[dartmaul15]

Superstition combined with paranoia.
Seriously, if you believe something is going to happen, you'll look for signs of it. You'll see that shadow at the corner of your vision, that guy stalking in the distance... because your mind create them.

Besides, if it was legit, how the hell would this charlie be abe to haunt that many people at the same time? And he should be pretty damn tired of it now.

[Remonster]

Totally agree.

[dartmaul15]

sure, there are things we haven't figured out... but why the hell would spinning two pens, and doing a simple chant summon a demon?
If he's that easy to summon, he would've broken free long ago. And if the summon is meant to keep him out of the world, why the hell make it so simple? I don't believe it's real

[skullly]

Mexican demon? Being called charlie?

This is so stupid and fake.

If it were the least bit real, the name would be "carlos" not charlie. Mexicans don`t go by charlie even by nick names. And calling him out in english? With a written paper also in english?, so lame.

If it were in Spanish, then it could be at least 1% believable... but not like this... or pehaps the demon went to English schoool right. Pathetic.

[kxera]

lmao you got that off a site but true. I think the game is fake, but you're still trying to call on demons which can attract demons anyway.

[skullly]

Off what site? I haven't seen any sites... it`s common sense! These are "my" thoughts, mexicans do not go by charlie. It`s dumb.

[JoahZ10nT]

if its a mexican!! why do they call it Charlie Charlie, it should be Called Carlos Carlos!! hummm

[GirlScoutsRevenge]

I just can't believe people over the age of 12 do this shit, I also can't believe people warning others not to do it because it's dangerous. The only danger is if I see you and stab you in the eye with a pencil for being such a fucktard.

[beautifulangel76]

You don't mess with demons. They can actually hurt you. Doing stuff like this can open the door for them to just come in.

[GirlScoutsRevenge]

@beautifulangel76 I highly doubt two pencils and asking for Charlie will open the gates of hell but believe what you want.

[MaskedSanity]

This comment right here is the reason why so many under 18s aren't taken seriously.

[beautifulangel76]

@GirlScoutsRevenge @masked Sanity I wasn't necessarily talking about pencils just demons in general.

[linkywinky]

😒😒😒😒

[AleDeEurope]

Poor Charlie, weeks ago he was chilling wherever he is, now he's been called every 5 seconds... poor thing :(

Jokes aside, this is pure bullshit, of course the pencil is gonna move, the support is not enough to keep full balance, that's why it'll move one way. Just try this without the piece of paper and without saying anything about Charlie and you'll see how the pencil will move. I've been doing that since I was a kid in school -_-

[Mustachekitteh]

OMG I'M DYING OVER HERE FROM LAUGHING! Oh these people are just to much. If demons are real what kind of demon would have such a silly lame name as charlie? XD Oh the stupidity of people is just to much my sides hurt from laughing so hard. *falls out of a chair from laughing*

[Lalaxoxo_soso]

I don't understand how society can be so stupid as to mess with something they don't have any knowledge of because I sincerely doubt any practitioner of witchcraft, Satanism, or anyone educated in the field of the paranormal would be dumb enough to temp something much more powerful than they could understand possible. I don't even leave the house without some witchcraft on me to banish negative energy away from me, let alone participate in something like this

[Hannah591]

When I saw the first video, I instantly knew this would be a new craze and within hours, there were more videos on my news feed!
I think it's cool but it's a load of bull. It's just a change in the air or when the person talks, their breath slightly pushes it. It can be explained away quite easily.

[vishna]

Hmmm I wouldn't do it. I heard of it a little before reading this, but you explained it completely.

All in all, I think it's just a fad. And I won't try it.

Also, like everyone else said, demons are supposed to be evil. So, why would I alert my presence to something evil?

[Remonster]

Because demons don't exist. Just like ghosts have never been proven as real and psychics always get debunked. Hey I don't like it either, but out world simply isn't magical in that way.

[Remonster]

*our

[vishna]

I don't think demons or ghosts or gods are real either.

[Anonymous]

i1127.photobucket.com/.../...f.com-add-text_15.gif Who is dumb enough to call demons? Probably a farse but still, why encourage such practices?

[Remonster]

I would encourage such practices if it incorporated some kind of system which proves it's all bullshit. Because really, way too many people believe in the supernatural, and it's all nonsense.

[ellacxo]

How to do the #CharlieCharliechallenge :

1. Get two pencils and paper
2. Get out your bible and start copying down the word.
