The Midnight man/Midnight game

Before I start I would like to recommend that you refrain from playing this game. Though many of you are skeptics it is still best to respect the possible danger of the game and the possibility that something could happen.

This ritual is called The midnight game.
Most of you already know what the midnight man/game is, for those of you who don't.. The midnight man or game is said to be a ritual from pagan religions, once used to punish law breakers. The "Midnight man" is said to be a demon summoned to torture those who summon him, give them hellish hallucinations of all their worst fears and is said to even torture those who summon him until they die. It's usually a good idea NOT to play with demons so you really might not want to play this game.

For those curious about how the game goes, here's what you'll need:

• Salt (preferably sea salt or pure salt and a lot of it)
• A candle and a lighter/matches
• A piece of paper/pencil
• A needle
• A wooden front door

The object of the game is to avoid the Midnight man from 12:00am to 3:33am. The game can be played with more than one person.

Begin set up before midnight. Write your name down on the piece if paper. Prick your finger with the needle and put just a drop of blood on the paper with your name written on it. MAKE SURE THAT IT IS YOUR BLOOD AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE'S. Turn off all sources of light in the house, grab your candle, lighter/matches, and salt and go outside and close your front door. Your front door must be wooden.
Put the piece of paper with your name and blood on the front door and light your candle. The next step is to knock on your front door 22 times, knock with the seconds counting down to midnight, the final knock MUST land on the strike of midnight. Open your front door and blow out your candle, now close the door and relight your candle and then enter the house. The game has now begun.

Signs that the midnight man is near:

1. You'll hear a low whisper
2. The room will get noticeably colder
3. You'll see him a tall dark figure
4. Your candle will blow out

Rules to the midnight game:

1. In the event that your candle should blow out, you will need to relight it within 10 seconds. If you can not relight your candle within the allotted time use the salt to pour a ring of salt around you. You can not leave the salt circle until 3:33am.
2. Do not turn on any lights during the course of the game.
3. Do not use any other light source other than a candle, a match or lighter will not work.
4. Do not stay in one place the entire course of the game, you need to keep moving. Staying in one place makes it easier for it to find you
5. Do not try to leave the house under any circumstances.
6. No sleeping!
7. DO NOT MOCK THE MIDNIGHT MAN!!! Things will turn out very bad for you if you do.

If you make it to 3:33am without having to pour a ring of salt around you or without dying you have won the midnight game.

WARNING: People report that for nights after having played the midnight game that they suffer from horrific nightmares.

Just remember that anything that involves a blood ritual and demons is probably a bad idea. To those who ignored my warning, I wish you good luck and hope that it's just a fun game of scares. To the rest of you, sweet dreams!
