The girls who had taken the Charlie Charlie challenge were filmed screaming and convulsing on the floor of a church while being exorcised

Three teens who tried to summon an evil Mexican ghost had to be exorcised for more than five hours after they were were "possessed by demons". The girls were filmed screaming and convulsing on the floor of a church after taking the ouija board-inspired Charlie Charlie challenge .

In a clip of the exorcism one of the teens can be seen lurching forward and trying to grapple another youngster (disturbing content).


She is quickly restrained by police and church workers who are clutching bibles in a desperate bid to revive the girls. The clergy tried to exorcise the girls for five hours by frantically reciting prayers before the youngsters were transferred to a local health centre in Iquitos, Peru.

A source said: "These girls apparently played the famous 'Charlie Charlie' and apparently made contact with this game in this place and were possessed by this demon."

Thousands of youngsters have played the challenge with many claiming they've been able to communicate with a Mexican ghost called Charlie. It's supposedly an "ancient Mexican tradition" involving placing two pencils on a piece of paper in the shape of a cross before writing the words yes and no inside the four squares formed by the pencils.

Brave participants then repeat the words "Charlie, Charlie are you here" to summon a visit from a demon.

But those who don't say goodbye to Charlie, reportedly experience paranormal situations such as hearing voices, things being moved, shadows and sinister laughing.
