You may have possibly
heard about the Spirit of the coin or the Ouija Board summoning the Spirits.
Mostly curious teenagers and even some adults like to call on the other side to
ask questions or even make a friend. Not all the time it ends up well with this
connection. And now we have Charlie Charlie the pencil game. It is believed to
be an old Mexican supernatural ritual that is used to invoke a ghost.
How this game is played:
1. The
2 pencils and a paper approach
A pencil is placed
horizontally on top of another pencil that is vertical. This will seemingly be
displayed innocently as a Cross. Both of these pencils are placed on top of a
piece of paper with four quadrants or a positive sign drawn across a piece of
paper. In order to support one pencil on top of the other, the topmost pencil’s
center of gravity must be positioned correctly over the other pencil. Two
quadrants are written YES and the other two quadrants are written NO.
Ready to play:
The next step is to
invite the Spirit called Charlie to “play” with them. Chant out loud, “Charlie,
Charlie, can we play.” If the Spirit wants to join, the pencil will spin until
it stops at “YES”. Once there is a response like this, they can begin by asking
a series of questions and wait for the pencil to move to the answer.
To end the game:
To end this game, one
must chant, “Charlie, Charlie, can we stop?” When you get a “yes”, then say “goodbye”
and remove the pencils from the paper to break contact. If he says “no” keep
trying until you get a “yes”.
2. The
6 pencils approach
The six pencil method requires
two persons. Each person holds 3 unsharpened pencils to form the shape of
alphabet “U”. When both U’s are connected, it will form a rectangle.
Ready to play:
Invite Charlie the
same method as above, Charlie, Charlie can we play. If the pencil moves
inwards, it means a “yes” and if outwards it means a “no”. If one pencil moves inwards and the other
outwards, it means maybe or the question cannot be answered at the moment.
Movement towards upwards means “yes” and downwards indicate “no”.
To end this game:
To end this silly
game, just say, “Charlie, Charlie can we stop?” When the pencil moves either
inwards or upwards, just drop the pencils on the floor and say goodbye to break
contact.
Some point out that there is nothing spooky
about this game, just plain Science:
Christopher French,
Head of the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit at the University of London
believes that even the slightest breath of a person will cause the pencil to
move and people may misconstrue it as a Yes answer or a No answer depending
where the pencil stops. And this can really give one the spooks especially if
they are in a candlelit room.
Carl Gallups, a pastor
and author believes otherwise. He says a slight breath of air is enough to move
the pencils and there is nothing more to it.
Others say be warned and stay away from this
game:
Corne Bekker, chair of
biblical studies at Regent University had something more to say. It is
impossible to summon a specific demon like Charlie while most players would
like to think. It really doesn’t work that way. The moment we ask, we are opening
the door to other spirits or any demon could just walk through. Therefore, it
is extraordinarily dangerous.
Fortea
says the game is very dangerous and warns that “some spirits who are at
the root of that practice will harass some of those who play the game.”
While not risking outright possession, participants in this game can
expect that the spirits they invoke “will stay around for a while” in
spite of the rules which say the spirit has to leave when the game is
done. - See more at:

Now for the Spooky stories....Those
who played and encountered terrifying experience:
Hannah Mc Kinley, from Valencia in Spain,
said: "My mirror slightly cracked. I got scared and ran into my sister's
room and her bookshelf tumbled. I am really afraid and terrified of what is
about to happen."
Dakota Hasler, Brownsville, New York says
she asked a stupid question when she asked “Will I die tonight?” She was in complete fear and shock when the
pencil turned to yes. Later as she was doing the dishes, she heard strange
noises coming from her room. When she walked in the room, she saw her bible on
the ground faced down. She just brushed it aside as the cat might have done it but
later remembered that her cat had been sent to the Vet by her mum. She decided
to quit the dishes for the day when she next heard a whisper coming out from the
living room…..
Aneeqa Saghir, Buckinghamshire asked
Charlie or anybody else in the room to turn on her tablet screen, all of a
sudden her laptop instead was turned on. That laptop had been shut down before this.
When we asked if it would leave us, the pencil spun to say “NO “. It was 10pm
at that time and the windows were shut with no possibility of breeze moving the
pencil. Aneeqa then asked whether if Charlie would intend to kill her for which
the reply was again YES. Finally when the game was over and all the friends
have left, suddenly, all the lights just got switched off. She was more scared
this time because she was being alone. When she looked out from the window of
her house, the lights on the rest of the houses on her street were well lit up.
She tried to call her parents but the phone line was dead. She has a WARNING
for others who intend to try this game: “So, think again if you are going to
do the Charlie Charlie Challenge.”
Arianna Lynn from Ohio, US believe she may
have invoked a young boy after the summoning session. She says, “My TV turned
on and started static with weird noises like talking sound though I could not
understand. Then, it turned off with a
loud ringing then stopped completely and I couldn’t get my TV back on for the
next 30 minutes. It was strange. When she finally managed to turn her
Playstation on, Ariana heard the voices of a young boy saying, “why didn’t you
help me” and “save them now.” She further added hearing voices of multiple
young children chanting the word “help” in sync. It was both astonishing and
weird.”
Zodyy Lanae had his own dose of eeriness doing
the challenge done in a shed with his friends. He narrated that he felt an “uneasy presence
and a burning sensation on his hand, back and lower leg after trying out this
task. As he returned home that day, he was puzzled to find that the house doors
were locked. “We…we…felt like we were surrounded by evil and were being watched”.
Then, Zodyy heard one of his friends “screaming horribly” after they saw
something in the cupboard. Zodyy said he saw a “man figure at the top of the
steps with black and red eyes.” His message to the others: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO
THIS CHALLENGE!!!!!!”
Whatever it is, I still think there are
more dangers than meets the eyes in this game. No matter what Scientific
explanation are given or the sceptics calling it a bull it may be too late to
return once the invocation has been done. It is not as easy as switching on and
off the lights. If only it was. You may ask the last three participants of the
game whether it left when you asked it to leave. So, why tread into the unknown
danger and add up problems when we already know there are various known dangers
in our everyday life? I’d stay away from this one.

Hey, thanks for the info. I think I'd like to try this interesting game. But what if accidentally Charlie Chaplin respond to my Charlie Charlie Challenge? What should I do?
Hi Anon @ June 7, 5.15am,
Charlie Chaplin, eh...? So why not you ask Charlie Chaplin where he had kept his walking stick. I'd like to keep it as my antique collection...
