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
Have Charlie Charlie Fever? Here Are 9 More Demons You Can Summon If You Dare Judging by the comments here, kids are pretty much aware of the dangers of dabbling in the occult.
The topic of good v evil has always interested me. This particular exercise is new to me, but as our culture tumbles down the rabbit hole, it doesn't surprise me kids are trying to conjure up demons in new & different ways.
Inner city kids don't get enough whole grains. I have a stash of rye bread...
The only Mexican demon I'm familiar with is Speedy Gonzales.
Is he still with that floozie named Flo?
Lord help me something...i've da da da da
Pass the doobie please.
So there's no volunteers to help me patrol Route 66? Figures...
Not in winter.
Bullshit, titorite, I love you mang!
Lol.thanks mang. i try my best.
This used to be my past with Titorite Then he started to smack me around. In essence, this was the last year of marriage since we are musically inclined this Friday night. After all the shit he put us through, this is the end result I am stronger for having met all of you. Thanks.
life is crazy, music should be too, so here goes
Now what's crazy about middle-class Englishmen turning themselves into albino Congolese by way of the Mississippi delta, a journey of only 11,500 miles as the crow flies? You like that song, and have been itching for an excuse to throw it in -- admit it :-)
It was either that or Billy Don't Be A Hero.
Wow -- it's antiwar, Vietnam era http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Don%27t_Be_a_Hero Those were the days. Could you imagine an antiwar song making the top 40 today, much less #1 -- even as the "war" on "terror" drags nightmarishly on from year to year? Talk about being neck-deep in the big muddy, that's where our dirt- colored pseudo-pres has US. Now come on, Pete -- are you rhotic or not??? Uh, yes. You are.... Wait a minute -- Joan, Joni and Judy et al are still around. WHY AREN'T THEY BALLADEERING AGAINST THESE DAMNED INVASIONS?
Well, I guess we know what epoch you like! Purge your senses with this, hit the hay..... and if you're nice to me I'll confess my fave Pie tracks sometime :-)
That almost made me vomit. What's wrong with you people?
Excellent, X-15 -- they're white and entrancing. Such purity of tone! I got some Welk on an inherited VHS, and feel like ordering a ton of Welk for real. It's such a survey of song history, mostly wholesome, with never a note out of place, sung or played. But if somebody can explain why he hired that Jue George Cates, I'll make it worth their while. He's no less amateurish a director than Lawrence.
You should order some Mitch Miller for the sake of religious diversity.
Good old Mitch. Don't forget Max Morath while you're dishing up the pickled herring! Wow, he's still alive?
I'd have to Google Max, but for whatever reason his mention triggered a Victor Borge memory. Now there was a fine nose!
Yet another great musical Jue of the warmly goyish variety. Ahh, our boomer youth -- poisoned with PC, but not one percent as bad as today.
