"This is the true joy in life - being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances." --George Bernard Shaw

My official name is Manda, but I've been Razhie for almost as long. I'm a 28 year old woman who didn't use to be half as confident or brazen as she is now.

My advice is pretty good, not always perfect and rarely censored.

I can read what is written. I cannot read your mind.

    The Question
    My friends did the challenge but we didn't know we had to say charlie charlie can we stop? before we could stop playing! Are we all going to be haunted until we die or just the person who first asked to summon the demon?

    SCARED PLEASE HELP!

    The Answer
    Not real.

    The Charlie Charlie Challenge is just gravity. There is nothing supernatural or demonic about it.

    Try doing the same thing with pencils without any incantation or even writing anything out - the pencils will still move! We just assume it has something to do with spirits because humans are stupid like that. We always want to 'blame' something when we see something we don't understand. So someone made up this demon Charlie to explain a perfectly natural thing that happens, just like ancient people made up a chariot of gold that dragged the sun across the sky because they didn't understand the perfectly natural way the sun burns and the earth revolves around it...

    When you tell yourself silly stories like this, you are putting your brain into a state where it is extra suggestible and fearful. In effect, it becomes real only because you believe in it. If anything creepy starts happening - it's only because you expect it too and and are taking special notice of it. You didn't summon a demon. You just told yourself a scary story and now you are scared. When you stop believing the scary story, you will stop being scared.
