Kids today! Apparently all you need to summon demons is two pencils and a piece of paper. The “Charlie Challenge” is the latest viral sensation to sweep the Internet, which features teens chanting “Charlie, Charlie are you there?” and “Charlie, Charlie can we play?”
According to countless Instagrams and Vines, the two pencils are placed in a cross formation on a chart that reads “yes,” “no,” and vice versa on the bottom half. After the teens chant, the pencil moves (supposedly on its own), indicating that, yes, Charlie is indeed there.
The videos have been circulating online and feature thoroughly freaked-out participants screaming and running from the room when their pencils rotate.
(Side note: Us Weekly tried out the test and either a) Charlie was not, in fact, there, or B) Charlie is not, in fact, real.)
Watch the clips now and tell Us what you think!
