This is a Korean Urban Legend.


According to one of the urban legends, a ghost would crawl it's way down to the corner of the room. After knowing that it is possible that a ghost would come out to torture you, of course people are going to try and summon it. Afterall, that's the only logical and smart thing to do. Hence, people invented the Corner Game with the sole purpose of being a ritual to request the presence of evil spirits inhabiting the corners of our ceiling.

How to play:

Participants: 4
Venue: A completely empty room with four corners. Cover and seal all your windows – creating a dark environment.
Before the game begins:
1) The building where your game takes place should be empty, with no other living things other than the four players.
2) Turn off all the lights in other rooms (except for the game room).
3) The players should all yell out their names three times as they enter the game room.
4) Assign one of the players as the narrator. Apart from that person, nobody else should speak during the game.
5) Shut the door tight and shut off all the lights in the room. Shush.


The Game:

Every participant should choose a respective corner to stand at, with face facing the wall and backs facing the center of the room. The minute they are all in position, the narrator has to count to three. After that, all players must rotate clockwise to the next corner. In the process, they must not turn around nor speak. Once they have finished rotating, they have to repeat that process until it is time to move to the completion procedure.
As you repeat this process of rotation, one of the players might disappear. Stay calm if that happens. This is when the emergency procedure needs to be enacted immediately: Each remaining player should say their names backward, three times, then turn around. One of the players should turn on the lights and the vanished player should have returned when the lights are on.
But... if after carrying out the emergency procedure (before switching the lights back on), an additional entity is spotted among the group, you must enact the completion procedure.

**Remember, you must NOT communicate or interact with this additional principal under ANY circumstances.

All players have to gather around the lightswitch, standing behind the "other figure". Next, each of them has to speak out their own name, backwards, three times. Then, you may turn on the lights. Cross your fingers and hope to God that the corner ghost are in a good mood...
It is very important to remember that you should not make any other sound throughout the game except for the ones listed on the instruction. Follow these guidelines to a tee and you might have a chance to live.
