A bizarre, new Ouija board-inspired game is taking over the internet. For those who haven’t heard of the Charlie Charlie Challenge, here’s the gist: Apparently, players insist they have the ability to connect with an ancient Mexican spirit now known to the world — or at least to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter users — as “Charlie.”

The disturbing game, which has gone viral on several social media networks, involves the use of a piece of paper and two pencils, but it’s not as “cut and dry” as it seems. According to the Blaze, the tools used are a replication of items incorporated for a ritual to summon the dead demon.

The pencils are placed on top of the sheet of paper like a cross. The words “Yes” and “No” are written in the four squares outlined by the pencils. Then, participants take the ultimate step by saying, “Charlie, Charlie can we play?”

Although many players have tweeted their seemingly scary accounts after participating in the game, there are now disturbing allegations by those who opted to take the challenge. According to Huzlers, three girls claim they were raped and beaten by the demonic spirit Charlie.

The females have been identified as Victoria Reyes, Shaneice Jones, and Michelle Brown. Out of curiosity, they opted to play the game and their experience quickly took a turn for the worse. They claim the pencil moved to the word yes after they’d asked if Charlie was present. A gust of wind reportedly swept into the room and all three of the women were beaten. However, that’s not all. Apparently, they were sexually assaulted as well. Due to the extent of their injuries, they were reportedly rushed to a local hospital.

A statement was released by an FBI agent identified as Mark Deluca.

“We are skeptical of the fact that ‘Charlie’ could have done this. However, it could be true. You never know. All we can do is advise for others not to do the Charlie Charlie challenge. Who knows what else could happen?”

Although their claims have yet to be confirmed, it’s definitely safe to say their accounts are absolutely false because the story is a hoax. For those who don’t know, Huzlers is a satirical online news outlet known for posting outlandish stories for the purpose of a good laugh. However, some of the reports have left readers questioning whether or not the claims could be true. But, in most cases, if a story derives from Huzlers, it’s completely false.

This bizarre account follows several other “spooky” yet questionable accounts shared by players who have participated in the game. Many users have briefly shared their experiences via Twitter. While the idea of the game may be quite disconcerting, no real injuries have been reported thus far, reports Telegraph.

So, would you participate in the Charlie Charlie Challenge? Share your thoughts.
