The Midnight Man
This game was used as a ritual to summon The Midnight Man to punish rule breakers in Pagan religions long ago. WARNING!: Play this game at your own risk of torture and death.
You’ll need the following supplies to play: paper, pencil, needle, candle, a box of matches, a door and salt. - Turn off all the lights.
- Light a candle
- Write your name on the paper, first, middle, and last
- Prick your finger with the needle and add a drop of blood on the paper, allow it to soak in
- Place the paper with your name on the floor in front of the door.
- Knock on the door 22 times with the ticking of the clock, the 22nd knock MUST occur at 12am.
- Open your door, blow out the candle, and close it. You have now summoned the "Midnight Man".
- Immediately relight your candle
This is when the game begins. Your goal is to avoid the midnight man at all costs. You may move through the house to avoid him. You can tell if he is near; your candle will go out, it will get chilly, you’ll hear a low whisper, and he will appear in front of you. You must relight the candle within 10 seconds. If not, throw down a circle of salt around yourself and stay inside the circle from 12:01am to 3:33am.
If you are still alive at 3:33am, you’ve won. If not, you’ll be tortured, sometimes to death, until 3:33am. Come back and let us know if you’ve won the game.

I haven’t tried it, but in the video they didn’t exactly follow the directions. It says your supposed to knock at the same time the clock ticks. Not just fast like that, and the last knock is supposed to end at midnight… Also, I believe you knocked more than 22 times…Just sayin, might wanna retry it before saying its ‘busted’
>> try it and see what the fuss is about!
this is so not true guys!!
please just believe in it just for a sec you might get hurt and i dont like pepole getting hurt
IKR Please don’t do it people!!!! Although to you it may sound fun, being tortured is horrible.
so it`s true this does happen if you do it right
video= such a fail u didnt even follow all the damn directions dumb ass
This is not a joke guys.. my friend died playing this because she thought it was a joke.

@Ashley….lol like that really happened to your friend!!
It might be true don’t be “lol” ing
I dont know if it is true or not and I am not getting ready to find out neither.
haha ikr:P
IF YOU THINK THIS IS SCARY….MY FRIEND DIES DOING BLUE BABY!!!
what about they hurt her?
This is creepy and I’m not gonna find out
that sounds awesome
I read a story about this on the internet but it had a lot of different things in it. I don’t think I can post links but it had vials of blood and stuff in it instead of just a drop and there were bell rings instead of knocks.
i played it 2 times the first time i lost at 3:20 am but got bet up and the 2nd time i won because i layed recordings around the house and put canles at each recorder and i stat silently so he got confused and never found me.
You are aware you spelled searcher wrong in your name?
danget
i forgot to menchon that i got throne acrose the room a bunch of times and got anistesha for a wile but it wore off
I did and so did my friend. But she didn’t make it. Her screams so loud. Stayed it the circle of salt crying.
im srry for ur loss
I don’t think I could do this. I couldn’t do the Bloody Mary thing little on this.
You mean… let alone? Not little on… lol
Trust me don’t do this seriously if u value ur life and sanity
weirdos! you think this crap is true…!
lol right
Which Pagan religion was this meant to be used in exactly?
This seems fun, not scary. If I ever have a sleepover, I’ll try this, just to scare them. IF I have the guts or strength to prick my finger… I’m not very strong.
Dear world i just have one thing to tell you. that if you beleive in this sort of thing than well you will beleive this. for one there was this guy who died about 3 years ago doing this one thing noone beleived would kill people and well yeah he died. and want to know why he died? because he injected the wrong thing into his vein. the end. the only truth to that was that drugs are the only things that can be a deadly game. oh and for your troubles heres a cookie.
Don’t play, I did, if you do dont forget the salt
When i was like 7 my friend and i went into the bathroom and did bloody mary. We followed the rules exactly and i thought i saw a white mist thing ( but then again i was 7.) since then I have done tons of things like this. Look Im still alive!!! so i don’t really think peoples friends died doing this otherwise how would i be writing this…. unless i was a ghost
I am the bravest among my friends, and I am also the smartest, and I declare that this is fake. To everyone who said that someone died, you are all trying to get atention, so stop it right now.
are u a ghost? o.o
I tried it i had 2 put salt around me after though
I found out it didn’t work with surgar.
Sugar*
i tried this and followed directions perfect nothing happened
my 3 friends and i played this only 2 survived they’re screamed like pussies but may they Rest in Peace
Not a midnight man,
Its a demon, doing stuff like this opens a door for demons. Once you do that those demons haunt you for life.there is no way of Stopping it.
So if you do this, please be careful.
It will get you,eventually.
God keeps you safe from demons. So if your a Christian, your all good!
i agreee
Rachel, Even if you believe in God you are still able to be harmed by demons. He doesn’t exactly protect you in the way you think. Yes he does protect us but there is things that even he has trouble protecting us from. Every one is in danger from these demons, it just depends on how strong (not physically) a person is and how much of a fight they are willing to put up.
what will happen if we use a torch?
lol u guys think this true
This “game” was used popularly in the past when circles were summoned commonly in a coven, what was being summoned however known as “the Midnight man” now is most likely malevolent spirit or demon. It’s exremely unsafe and salt is not a likely protection without first having a true circle summoned. As a high priestess in my coven, I don’t reccomend “trying” this without the help of someone who is expierenced and only if you are stubborn and brave…It truly is not something safe to tamper with.
Yea… Ok. Have a cookie.
“That… is an oval! It has to be a circle!”
Spongebob ref. FTW!
tried it with someone elses blood
the midnight man can cath us even with a candle or salt
Listen, I know to most of you you’ll either think it’s a hoax or you’ll try it, but please don’t try it. It sucks to be hunted by what you can’t fight. Yes, salt protects you because it’s a pure substance from the earth and this is why it fends off evil, but I see these…demons every day and night. They terrify me, and if I try to tell someone they either don’t believe me or they mock me. Don’t believe me? Fine, that’s cool, but these demons will not stop until you think you’ve gone insane. They mess with your head and will move objects in your house, especially at night. You may not see it, but they’re not quiet beings. I was born with this ability, I have no choice but to see them. I have to fight them myself. Guys, you don’t want to bring that kind of power to yourself. It’s scary and is with you for life.
Hi, i think i know what your going through. e-mail me if your telling the truth and not just trolling ^^
I believe you, because after my sister and her friends have played games like these and with the Ouija board there has been a lot of activity on my house, especially at night. They love to make you think you’re insane.
dont even dare go against me, and that is not me in the video, they picked it
The midnight man…is CHUCK NORRIS!!!!!!!!!! MUWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
To Skylar who posted the comment about his problem and to other’s. when I was younger I use to see pictures moves and things in the dark, later on I couldn’t see them. Demons are scared fallen angels just to let you know, they are orderd to people
had to get off, anyway any spirt that wants to harm you with it’s own will is probably a ghost, but some stories have ghasts which is a fragment of the spirt that relives the memory of the spirt’s death. these are harmless if you don’t get scared and stay calm. if it isn’t simlair then seek help from a perist and do a blessing around you’re home. and to the people who play these’s games, it allow omens to come nearer to you and mess with you
@Brian you are partially correctanexorcism can not be done on a house it has to be done a person the spirits attach themselves to people and feed of their fear when they are attached to you they know what your fears are and they manifest themselves as your greatest fear
@Skylar I know what you’re going through beleive me I’m a clairvoyant, a mild telepathic, and I’ve seen them trust me when isay this THEY ARE REAL!!!!
thanks Demonologist 4 the correct info, u seem to know a lot about this stuff
do you have to use matches?? can i just use a lighter :p ??
@brian thank you for words of praise and beleive it or not i am 14 years of age but have lived in seven haunted house and have dealt with demons before plus have studied on demonology since i was seven years of age.
also everything that people say is fake is realyes vampires are real they’re called sanguinairians forgive me if i spelled it wrong werewolves are real to there is a disease called hydrotrichosis again forgive me plus some people are born with heightened senses witches are real to but work through curses on items not spells.
I DONT EVEN WANNA TALK ABOUT IT IM SCARED WELL NOW GOTTA LIVE WITH IT BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ok this is what happened to me .. i did all the things till the beginning of the game. then i just went around the house with the stupid candle in my hand looking like a guy searching for the fuse in a freaking blackout. then i got tired at about 1 am, blew out the candle and feel asleep. woke up totally healthy in the morning. well, i’m still here writing this ain’t i? try if u dare, but if u have the slightest belief in this load of crap, i’d recommend you don’t try to do this ..
@Demonologist i agree with you. They are real, but as you said, they latch on to your fear in them. If you are utterly sure of yourself that you do not fear them and can take them head on like you would to any normal human being, you’d be fine. I myself don’t fear them. I don’t think they can harm me. I’ve lived in my share of haunted houses too and have dealt with weird noises and things shaking and stuff. I’ve been in seances or what you call them. In my country in villages mostly, these things are pretty predominant, and i’ve seen how deep someone can go into doing these stuff.
okay when it comes to this in my opinion its incredibly unsafe to try it does open up portals basically inviting these… things in and once a door has been opened it can’t be closed
so true
