NEW YORK — The latest topic to create some commotion on Twitter has teens trying to summon a demon named Charlie.

The Charlie Charlie Challenge surfaced Thursday on Twitter and has gone viral across social media platforms.

The challenge includes putting two pencils on a piece of paper in the shape of a cross. The words “yes” and “no” are written in boxes outlined by the pencils. Then the participants say “Charlie, Charlie are you here?”

Social media users have been uploading videos “summoning” Charlie

Cheaper than a Ouija board.

is Obama called Charlie in some other language?

Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man;
But will they come when you do call for them?

Charlie — must be another name for “Allah”

[Perdogg]

Isn’t Charlie ‘the Man’? Now, the leftists are “the Man”.

If that doesn’t work, try Hillary Hillary.

Have your credit card number handy.

Charlie don’t surf.

It’s NOT a good idea to summon demons. There may not be a demon named Charlie, but when you play these games, unfortunately, a real demon may answer. NOT a good idea.

This is so sexist!

Why did they have to kick Mary Butterworth to the curb?

(or Mary Worth as she was called in some parts of the country)

They'll have to yell loudly for the demon to hear from his golf course.

Yep. plus I love the tag line. Recently a convert from the better any Republican that no Republican train of thought. the middle of the night cromnibus passage last year did it for me

And he’s not the only one.

Slow news weekend at Fox 5 San Diego.

I agree. While I don’t believe they’ll actually appear or say hello, I do think it opens the person to suggestion and influence.

[KarlInOhio]

Once I said "Bloody Mary" three times in a dark room and a young woman appeared and gave me a mixture of tomato juice and vodka.

[MeshugeMikey]

That was a bright spot in an otherwise somewhat distracting and depressing “news day” I have to say.

I’ve seen maybe five flags today ...

[SunkenCiv]

I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t try that particular thing, but hey, they’ve got to die of something.

[edpc]

I tried that once with “Piña Colada”, but all I got was Rupert Holmes singing an annoying song.

[RansomOttawa]

Pfft. In my family, we believe in Mary Worth, not some upstart pretender.
