We Take the ‘Charlie Charlie Challenge’

The Boris & Robyn show had to see if the newest social media craze was for real, so we attempted to talk with the ghost of "Charlie Charlie".

This weekend you might have noticed that "Charlie Charlie" was trending all over the place. If you're like us, you were probably confused as to what this craze was all about. Well, we did some digging and it looks like it's all about asking a Mexican ghost to answer questions. It's similar to the old Ouija board, but uses two pencils and, of course, the spooky results are posted online for the whole world to see.

The setup is pretty simple. You balance one pencil across the other and place them on top of a sheet of paper. On the paper you write the words "yes" and "no" as the answers to questions you will ask Charlie Charlie. After inviting the ghost into your home, he supposedly can move the pencil to indicate the answers to your questions.

Robyn Taylor is deathly afraid of ghosts. So much so, that she wouldn't even come into the same room with the pencils. So we decided to ask some questions in her absence. I have to say, even being the skeptic I am, this seemed pretty convincing. Maybe Robyn does have a reason to be afraid! Check out  the video to see how our experience with the Mexican ghost unfolded.

Let's see if Charlie Charlie keeps his end of the bargain...So what do you think? Is Charlie Charlie for real or is it just another stupid Internet fad?
