Lima, Peru, May 27, 2015 / 04:14 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- A game that purports to invoke a Mexican demon – known as “Charlie, Charlie” and considered to be a simplified version of the Ouija board – has gone viral on social media among young people, prompting one exorcist to warn of its dangers. The game, which has gained significant traction online in recent days, involves a pair of pencils or pens, a sheet of paper, and the invocation of a spirit named “Charlie.” Scores of short video clips, posted mostly by teens, show players shrieking and running out of view when the pencil apparently moves on its own and points to a “yes” or a “no” after they say a phrase inviting the demon. Spanish exorcist Jose Antonio Fortea told ACI Prensa that the so-called #CharlieCharlieChallenge involves the very real, occult practice of “calling on spirits.” In an interview May 27, he warned that “some spirits who are at the root of that practice will harass some of those who play the game.” Even though the priest thinks that players “won't be possessed” necessarily, the spirit that has been invoked “will stay around for a while.” Fr. Fortea also warned that playing the game “will result in other spirits beginning to enter into even more frequent communication.” “And so then the person really can suffer much worse consequences from the demons,” he said. Catholic experts have noted that occult activity and the resulting need for exorcisms has reached a critical level worldwide. The International Association of Exorcists (AIE) met for their 12th annual conference in Rome last October. According to AIE spokesperson Dr. Valter Cascioli, an increasing number of bishops and cardinals asked to participate in the conference due to an increase in demonic activity. “It's becoming a pastoral emergency,” Cascioli told CNA. “At the moment the number of disturbances of extraordinary demonic activity is on the rise.” The rise in demonic activity can be attributed to a decreasing faith among individuals, coupled with an increase in curiosity and participation in occult activity such as Ouija boards and seances, Cascioli said.

Thanks for posting this, I had never heard of it. There is definitely danger when people think the occult and invoking demons is a game. Very bad stuff. I wonder what the priests over at audiosancto.org have to say about this. They're very in tune with all the occult garbage in society, literature, politics, & govt and often give eye opening sermons on history , psyhicatr, etc. Many people who are lauded as dignified societal heroes were occultist pervs to the enth degree including helen keller,, the woman who wrote harry potter and many others. .. here is a great one from 5/3/15 ... http://www.audiosancto.org/sermon/20150503- Catholic-Sun-Eclipsed-An-Occult-Moment.html
J.K. Rawling is the one who wrote the harry popper novels but there is really nothing bad about them, a world of magic and magical creatures akin to Tolkien's Lord of the rings and the Hobbit. Hellen Keller was the blind/deaf woman who learned to communicate despite her severe handicap. It is a good thing that we cannot see spirits, there are a lot around everywhere we go. Met with some people who were into automatic writing and ouija board and it was impressive. According to them, they are everywhere but mostly harmless and they do crave the attention. Charlie Charlie seems like a very watered down version of a ouija board. The potential for unpleasent things happening afterward is there tho, once called, one need to be able to bid goodbye and send then on their way so they do not stick around. Any spirit will pretend they are Charlie. My Ouija experience has proven that, the spirit pretended to be my guardian angel or guide and an ancient Buddhist monk. We flushed it out through automatic writing, turned out he was bound to that place and could not move on and was very exited to be able to interact with people. He was tho, able to predict when and where the next earthquake would hit in the province, to the exact date. Freaky stuff!
Opps duplicate post.
