All Things Spooky

Hide And Seek Alone Alternate Version

This is an alternate version from The Most Dangerous Games from the website The Ghost in my Machine(which is where we get most of our summonings)It doesn't need you to use a doll so if you didn't want to use a stuffed toy or doll, this is good for you. This game has most things you would need, but that doesn't mean it is easy to win. 

The things you need:

1 player

2 bowls

chicken bones. These could be the ones you have eaten from or you can just try to look for chicken bones in the poultry section of a grocery store(I doubt you'll find any)

One sterilized pin( basically a clean pin so you don't get an infection)

One Candle

Matches or a lighter

A clock or time-keeping device 

A dark room within a large playing space

A hiding space within the large playing space but not in the dark room

Preparations:

1. Begin before midnight at around 11:30 would be best. Empty your playing space of all living things except for yourself. Go to your dark room and make sure there is no light anywhere. Even a little bit of light can result in losing. Securely block all windows, if there are windows.

2. Exit the room and gather your supplies. Leave them directly outside the room. This important so you get to them in time. Move through your playing space, making sure all sources of light are blocked and turned off. Look at the clock. If it is 11:55, begin making your way back to the room. Stand outside of it until it is 12 am. 

The Game:

1. At 12 am, go inside the room with one of the bowls, the candle, the matches/lighter, and the chicken bones. Place the bowl on the ground and put the chicken bones in the bowl. Light the candle using the matches/lighter. Say the following words out loud: "Bones, you may see." Pick up the candle, and leave the room without taking the bowl of chicken bones. Close the door behind you. Be careful, now, he knows where you are.

2. Once you're outside, prick your finger with the pin and put a few drops into the second bowl. Open the door and enter the room with the candle and bowl of blood. Place this bowl on the ground too and repeat: "Blood, you may see." Pick up the candle, and leave the room without taking the bowl of blood. Close the door behind you. Be careful, now, he is on his way.

3. Open the door and enter, taking the candle with you. Put the candle down and say: "Flesh, you may not see. You may find."Extinguish the candle quickly. Now as quickly as you can leave everything where it is and exit the room. He is here. You only have 5 minutes to hide from him. Get to your chosen hiding spot. He will begin looking for you 5 minutes after you extinguish the candle.

4. No matter what happens, don't let him find you. Taking your time-keeping device with you will get you caught. It's best to just keep time as best as you can without a clock. Once you are in your hiding spot, don't move, don't make any noise. Keep listening to the noise around you. If you hear footsteps or heavy breathing, then he has left the room and has begun looking for you. If you hear only silence, then he has stopped looking for you or hasn't started looking for you at all. If you would like to, you may leave your hiding spot. If you didn't want to leave after the noises stopped, wait til sunset. Once you hear complete silence or when the sun comes up, you may exit your hiding space. 

5. Congratulations, you've won! You may leave your hiding spot and make your way back to the dark room, which will no longer be dark. Pick up all your supplies. Now take the chicken bones far away from your playing space. If it was your house don't take the to your backyard. Now bury them. Break the two bowls and bury them far away from the chicken bones and from the playing space. Never light the candle again. It's better to throw it out. This game should never be played again.

Side Notes:

If there is even a tiny bit of light in the dark room, he will immediately find you. He may even find you before you even leave the room. 

Your opponent may or may not stay the whole night. He may stay for an hour or until the sun rises, but when it does he will leave. 

If you would like to leave your hiding spot to walk around until sunlight(after you've determined if he left or not), you may do so. Just note that if he hasn't left and finds you, there are no failsafes. 

Good Luck and don't let him find you!
