Introduction:
The one-man hide and seek, aka the one-man tag, is a ritual for contacting the dead.
The spirits which are wandering restless on the earth are always looking for bodies to possess. In this ritual you summon such a spirit by offering it a doll instead of a human body.
Warning: If you have psychic abilities you may feel unwell or be prone to accidents during the ritual.
Things you need:
+ A Stuffed Doll with limbs
+ Some Rice (enough to stuff the doll full)
+ A Needle and a Crimson Thread
+ A Sharp-Edged Tool (such as a Knife, a Glass Shard, or Scissors)
+ A Cupful of Salt (natural salt would be best)
+ A Hiding Place (preferably a room purified by incense and ofuda)
---------------------------------------------
Preparation:
1. Take all the cotton (or whatever it is stuffed with) out of the doll, and stuff it instead with rice*1.
2. Clip a bit of your nails and put them inside the doll, and sew the opening up with the crimson thread. When you finish sewing, tie up the doll with the rest of the thread *2.
3. Pour water into a bathtub.
4. Place a cup of salt water inside the hiding place.
-----------------------------------------------
How To Do It:
1.Give a name to the doll (the name could be anything but your own)
2.When it is 3 am, say to the doll "__(your name) is the first it," three times.
3.Go to the bathroom and put the doll into the water-filled bathtub.
4.Turn off all lights in the house, go back to the hiding place and switch on the TV.
5.When you have counted ten with your eyes closed, go back to the bathroom with the edged tool (a knife, etc) in your hand.
6.When you get there, say to the doll ,"I have found you, __(the doll's name)," and stab the doll with the edged tool*3.
7. Say "You are the next it, __(the doll's name)," as you put the doll back in its place.
8.As soon as you have put the doll down, run back to the hiding place and hide.
------------------------------------------
How To Finish It:
1. Pour half the cup of salt water into your mouth (don't drink it; keep it there)*4 and get out of the hiding place and start looking for the doll. The doll is not necessarily in the bathroom. Whatever happens don't spit out the salt water.
2. When you find the doll, pour the rest of the salt water which is left in the cup over it, and then spray the salt water in your mouth over it as well.
3. Say "I win," three times.
This supposed to end the ritual.
After this make sure you dry the doll, burn and discard it later.
MOST IMPORTANT
Please don't stop this ritual halfway. You must do it through to the end.
This is a dangerous ritual and I will not be responsible for what happens to you if you try.
---------------------------------------------
Other things to keep in mind:
+Don't go out of the house until you have done the finishing ritual.
+You must turn off all lights.
+Keep quiet while hiding.
+You don't need to put the salt water in your mouth all the time. You only need to do it during the finishing ritual.
+Remember, if you are living with someone you might put them in danger too.
+Don't continue this ritual for more than one or two hours.
+For safety reasons, it might be best to keep all the doors in the house unlocked (including your front door) and have some friends close by so that they can come and help you at a moment's noice, if you ever need them. Keeping a mobile close at hand would be a good idea too.
---------------------------------------------
NOTES:
*1 - the rice represents innards and also has the role of attracting spirits.
*2 - the crimson thread represents a blood vessel. It seals the spirit(s) up inside the doll.
*3 - by cutting the thread off, you break the seal and release the spirit(s) you have trapped.
*4 - if you go out of the hiding place without salt water, you might encounter "something wandering around" in your house which might harm you in some way. Apparently the way to feel the presence of the "something wandering around" is to watch "what happens to the TV."
--------------------------------------------
The video clip below apparently shows the changes seen to the TV after 40 mins into the ritual. Nothing really happens but it gives you some ideas anyway.
You can hear the changes in the sound;it becomes unsteady, repeats itself like a broken record, and gets warped towards the end.

Comments
William - No way, I wouldn't try it if they gave me a million pounds...actually if it was a million pounds maybe I would give it a try!:D
Debbie - you wouldn't be called a coward, dear. You are wise!:)
Bryan - No Problemo!There is a documentary made in Japanese about this ritual and it's on youtube, but theres no English subtitle to it..I wish I could put it here!If only I knew how to put subtitle to a video clip.. I'll try to find out how!
King Progdor - I understand, TOTALLY!!!!!!
Thanks alot all of you for your comments!!!
非常に面白い。
I think this ritual is kind of a game of dare. It could have been born out of a more ancient necromantic ritual, but I'm not sure.
Interesting!! =]
I'm loving your blog and it's great that I stumbled across it.
I might be viewed as a bit of an eccentric, but my family has a history of mediumship and spirit communication. Does this ritual have connections with this idea you think? It's interesting because it seems to me like it's simply playing a game of hide and seek with a ghost. I don't understand all of the game though, between the opening and closing of the ritual, do you simply hide and listen out or literally jump out there and play the game? =P
Creepy and interesting,
Thank kyuu~
P.S. Teach me Japanese?
Lol. Well, I can't do it.
I'd never try this ritual myself for a few reasons:
1) I hate dolls
2) And the idea of ghosts (especially Japanese) scares the crap out of me lol.
Well, there is one thing I really want to know: What happens if you "fail" the ritual, or dont end it?
Also, I dare someone to use a supposedly haunted doll for the ritual, like Robert the Doll (Youtube)... >:D

>What happens if you "fail" the ritual, or dont end it?
I'm not sure but I will try to find out, dear.
Thank you very much for the links you put!! That's very interesting that someone have tried to do it after reading my article! I haven't read the whole account but I will now. I just wanted to thank you first!
I love reading the scary stuff you post before bed :)
With all mah friends. One of them said this:
"Okay, I'm staying outside.
I'm something slowly comes out of the door, I'll just say "Hoh crap.".
If something quickly runs out the door, I'm just gonna say "Screw it" and run away.".
But also cool. xD I have some questions.
Wouls this work if done with a friend, cat, and Bible present? (Cats have high spiritual energy, Bibles are self-explanitory) I would feel a bit more comfortable with that. Also, what are some protective herbs me and my friend could carry with us? I heard somewhere that sage was good, but I don't know. Thanks for your time, cool article!
I love your journal by the way! So many interesting stories!
http://bubonicapple.livejournal.com/322656.html
Then I found out that there's also a film that seems to be based on it. I'm undecided as to whether or not the ritual comes from the film, or the ritual inspired the film.
Whichever way round it is, I wouldn't try it. From what I can tell, examining the ritual, it's an adaptation so silly people don't kill themselves. I'd guess that it's a way of calling/binding a Kami to that it can be communicated with, but it's been tweaked for the mass audience. If it is an older ritual, then the fingernail would have been substituted for blood in the original.
Alternately, with the fingernail, it could be considered to be trapping part of a person's Shadow (Jungian sense).

and can you do it with a friend?
please tell me, the email is
creepersfreak01@aim.com
the differences are that you had to make the doll yourself in in any fabric you could find. and you had to use a cotton thread (red) and instead of rice you use wheat and add a dear personal item in to the doll.
and before you start take some of the leftover fabric you made the doll out ow dunk it in some ice cold water add some ice and salt tie it up in to a little bag and put it in your mouth.
now close up the doll and add some simple eyes turn of the lights and make sure its totally dark and silent.
put the doll in a separate room but leave the door open go to a niboring room and sit down on a chair whit your back touching a wall be sure that you're facing the doorway whit out being able to see the doll.
now sit, wait and listen and what ever you do do not talk during the ritual don't make any sort of sound
and if you ever see any movement in that room or if your ever asked a personal question (never answer) its time to end the ritual but not before the ice you put in the leftover fabric and then in your mouth has melted
to end the ritual you clap your hands and quickly stand up walk over to the room the doll is in(still clapping) and turn on the lights. find the doll rip out the simple eyes you made take out the rag you have in your mouth and cover the dolls face whit it ask the spirit to LEAVE (respectfully) and burn the doll and anything you put in it asap
the idea of the ritual is to hear what the doll has to say. you may not like what it has to tell you and you never know who or what is possessing the doll. sound seams to scare it away or at-lest silence it.
and grate blog btw. im enjoying reading it and sorry for the long comment
and it not hard to distort the sound too
and if this was Real woudnt you at least try this a good few times and have night vision and a good back up team to confirm like good sound operator and so on so forth
Under the perfect circumstances, nothing will happen, but a few of the instructions do make some sense.
At first, there is the time Limit. Seeing as the Ghost needs time to get really attached to an Object, there is no harm in playing this for an hour or two. If the ghost has more time, he will stop looking for you (since he cant find you anyway its like a cheating game of hide and seek ;-) ) and try to use the doll as new home, potentially creating a homicidical doll (depending on the ghost ofc).
I generally think this is a bad idea in any way, since you are offering a host body to a ghost and hope you can cast him out again before he gets attached.
There are however some security measures you can take such as protection Charms and Symbols, or simply a Seal you paint on the doll unfinished, and then seal it up aftwerwards but if you do this, make sure you know which seal to use because you really dont want a living doll ^^
If you want a servant, go with golem, if you want to have contact Meditate. Stuff like this is only good for risking your body and mind and getting a little thrill out of it.
One of the anons before me got the truth behind it right. The ritual is adapted for morons and because of this, theres no point anymore.
The hide and seek part was a demonstration of power and control over the ghost, so that after two wins the doll would accept you as the victor and tell you everything you ask of it. Thats why there are after effects, because basically you started a ritual and ended it at the most crucial point by banishing the ghost.
Its been a long time since this has been posted, i hope someone will read the comments and uderstand the game a bit better with it.
By the way, the movie is 2009 and this post is 2008, and I'm assuming the game come from before then, so this game is not based on the movie (unless I'm mistaken and "Creepy Hide-and-Seek is a remake of something).
Now, I'm skeptical if anyone could get this to work as-written, but even so, it does not appear to be the safest idea out there. My comment elsewhere was, "Why does this remind me of letting someone with AIDS ride you bareback?"
I have translated this ritual In French and I will post It on my blog with a Link to your website ^^ But there's something I can't translate: «You are the next it» and «You are the first It!»... What does this mean?? This seem to have no sense!
Did you mean «HIT» or «IT»???
My friend really wants me to do this with her -- I want to do it to but at the same time I am frightened!!
I have one question, though -- if you don't have a bathtub (like, say all you have is a shower stall? they don't hold any water in the bottom) could you fill a sink with water, and it would still work?
Also, to Chiisuto: hi! Often, when children play "hide and seek" the person who has to go find everyone is called "IT." So, I'm pretty sure that's what Saya was talking about here. I hope that helps? :3
Burnt & buried the ashes.
You are supposed 1) to play it alone 2) do it in an apartment or house where you are the only person present.
If there are other people, it's said that spirits could harm them.
Also, re-read the instructions, you are supposed to start playing exactly at 3 AM.
Personally I don't believe in it, but if you want to play it,you should follow the instructions to a T, just in case.
Looking at the instructions on the Japanese wikipedia (article here: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%81%B2%E3%81%A8%E3%82%8A%E3%81%8B%E3%81%8F%E3%82%8C%E3%82%93%E3%81%BC ), which are the same instructions one can find all over Japanese bulletin boards etc, here are some things from the rules that were not translated :
What is translated as a hiding place is an oshiire. It's a Japanese closet, very big, that can fit people easily.
Like the name of the game says, you must play this game alone. Nobody else should be in the house or apartment. You can go to a hotel if you cannot be alone in your home. If you do proceed to play the game when other people are your home, it is said that they may be harmed.
The amount of salt water you should have is one glass. Supposedly, the best salts to use are natural salts, or thick table salt.
Once hidden, you have 2 hours maximum before going out of the closet. Don't forget to put some salt water in your mouth before getting out.If you stay more than 2 hours, it's supposedly dangerous. You also musn't go outside your house or apartment until you have finished the game.
The stuffed toy may have changed places, so you might have to search the whole apartment / house.
If you cannot find it, then the game won't end.
Also, when you are looking for the plush toy, it is said that you may experience paranormal phenomena. You must keep the salt water in your mouth, even if you do.
The movie is based on the ritual. According to Japanese wikipedia, this game has existed for a while in the Kansai and Shikoku areas.
Starting from 2007, it spread to the entire country through blogs and bulletin boards.
The movie is from 2009.
The producers probably wanted to cash on the Internet fad.

Now a friend wants to actually do it. And i have a question (i've seen this post quite late, actually, so i dont know if you have answered this thing, looking back at the comments is tiring) I've read of people doing it on a different hour (ive heard of 6 pm) and they left the doll on somewhere else, not the bathroom.
Does it change something?
Or affects in some type of way?
Do i have to cut the ribbon on it when i stab my doll? And if I dont, do I have a possesed doll in my house, rather than the spirit wandering around my house?
to those who are wondering about the time. yes it does effect the flow of spirit energy. 3am is called the "witching hour" also, the number 3 is the mark of trinity, which is a symbolic for mocking christ, who is believed to have died on the cross at 3am. (im nto christian im just stating the facts just fyi) so in a way 3am is believed to have the most dark energy, and most energy for manifestation. i have gone out in the woods at 3am, and i assure you, activity is definitely higher, but so far i havent met a threatening spirit. if you are going to do this ritual, word of advice i give you. keep calm, dont open yourself to the spirit, spirits can inflict emotion to you, and if this spirit is threatening, it will try and posses you. if you dont feed into your fear, it cant find you, and cant latch onto you. also, think of the reason for doing this, do you want to ask a question, do you want to really give a ghost a host of a body? unless your experienced with haunted objects or dont mind such things, i suggest you burn it as instructed. generally rituals can be changed to your own purpose which is the meaning of a ritual, to gain something from it. just be sure to seal it though, even if u burn the doll and didnt seal it, that ghost i assure will pay you a visit. also, for symbolic and herbs, sage, white sage, desert sage, any sage will do well, but white sage specifically serves the purpose of cleansing and protecting. as for symbolic, i make up my own, when ti comes to rituals, if you create something of your own, and charge your energy into making it. it will be stronger than any cross or wiccan symbol. and how to charge a object, like a jewelry or something you wear or hold dear, you sit comfortably, and hold the object as you meditate. imagine the flow of your energy warping around the object and the object absorbing your energy. you stop when you feel tired, (this will happen if your not used to charging items) dont exert yourself, just take a depe breath and gently set the object down on a surface or the ground. (or put it on) if there are any more questions about rituals and other advice for roaming abandoned places or if you have a bad spirit in your house, or think you house may be haunted, or anything like that, im happy to help.

@ The anonymous guy that said stuff about charging something
I'm so gonna try to charge something! :D
signed,
Cat, Dragon, and Demon.
That's all for us...FOR NOW!
Signed,
Dragon and Cat
I'm glad your interested in charging a object, just be careful not to push yourself to the break of fainting, you dont have to put hours upon hours to make a object powerful. as long as you have some of your energy flow inside you'll be successful. if your not sure if your charging is successful, set the object down for a moment, then pick it up again, you should feel a warm sensation from the object if you charged it correctly. if it didnt work, dont blame yourself, especially if your not used to charging objects, try again, perhaps using a technique of your own. such as imagining a emotion of yours being absorbed, or imaging your energy as a color. the trick is to focus, to have your mind body and energy set on your goal. also, you can channel your energy from the object, you can focus a emotion, or a certain need. example: like protection or happiness
also for the record, i go by the name Uitinla, i say it at the top of my posts since i dont have a google account. also...ima gurl xD
if you have anymore questions let me kno. hope your ritual is successful good luck. :)

thank you to anyone who may answer.
IT'S BEST TO ALWAYS BE SAFE. REMEMBER TO PRAY, BLESS, ASK FOR FORGIVENESS AND SAFETY, AND TO LIGHT DRIED SAGE OR ROSEMARY IN ALL ROOMS AND AREAS BEFORE AND AFTER THE RITUAL, AND TO LIGHT BLESSED AND HOLY CANDLES.
BE SAFE!
Axel Brian, I am eager to see footage of what happens, and what were the specific strange happaning that happened? Like, where did the dolls move to?
So yeah.I'm not doing it....
Xx Ree <3
Will you be able to hear it as it moves around the house?
Or will hear nothing...until suddenly there's a jingle right beside you? (:
Well, strange stuff happens.
But anyway, I read somewhere that this Hitori Kakurenbo is originally mean to curse someone you hate. If you name the doll with that someone name and win the game, unpleasant things could happen to them.
In my opinion, this made sense since this ritual smell like black magic.
Anyway, I like reading the post and all the comments, could I put this links into my account in fanfiction(dot)net?
Just watching the little video clip makes me shiver.(I was never a fan of TVs after watching so many scary movies.)
I love this!
Can't wait to read the others 3 more times! : )
'意志の', but I'm not an idiot, I understand the broad difference between Western and Eastern spirits.
You couldn't make me do this, not even if you gave me millions! I may need money but it's not enough for me to meet the otherwordly creatures.
Dude, understand, Eastern spirits have more of a chance to harm you than Western, sure some spirits here have staked their claim and attacked unwanted folks, but Eastern, you do something to anger the spirits, don't bother going to a monk or Buddhist priest, it's rather too late.
And yes it may be incorrect, point being, I'm not risking my hide to play a game. Also, does anyone know that documentary's name? The one about the ritual? I'm rather curious.
<3 Draven
2.Can I do this with 2 other friends?
kThanks!
My neighbours daughter was home alone and did this ritual while I was sleeping in here parents bed room while they are on vacation. And 1 hour ago I woke up to her yelling .When I found her she had a long but shallow cut running down her leg. And when I walk downstairs to get the first aid box she was clinging onto me like her life depended on it .Now I am not one to be freaked out easily and I have done a lot of these games. But this time there actually was something inside the house the lights were not working and the TV was giving a lot of static... After I "fixed" her leg I decided to get the doll . But eventhough I had seen it lying on the kitchen table , I could not find it and the same fore the cup with salt water.
After a while I found it on top of a closet , this is where it really started to mess with my head.Because as soon as I grabed it,it felt as if my hand was burning and everything started to become blury and I could have sworn I felt it trying to get free from my hand...
Fore people that have the same problem whit the salt water disapearing I can only say this .Make sure you have a litghter and a flamable product whit you. Because the moment It was burning the lights started working again and the tv was normal again.
Normally I would keep this fore myself but I must warn you all .If you are going to do this don't be stupid make sure youre not alone . Now I can only hope that you guys don't get the same evil in you're dolls as we have had. (Goodluck)
I just have one thing to say and that is NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE. Ain't gonna fucking happen, ever
However there is another similar ritual that can be done with several people and I hope to write an article about it in the near future.
Possible repercussions are you might get possessed or chased by spirits? I dunno. You should be fine once you've done the finishing procedure properly at the end.
I am a member of vnsharing.net and akarivn.net, I am very like your posts in this blog.
Can you give me the permission to translate some of your posts into Vietnamese?
I promise I will put your credit and link to your blog.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely yours,
ChibiSaber
Of course, I don't mind you translating them.
Thank you for letting me know!
Take care! :)
All the best,
Saya
The sodden doll was really hard to burn, though. =/ I doused it in oil but I guess it was still damp enough to be flame-resistent. I got it mostly singed then threw it out. Nothing's happened to me!
Oh... it's so hilarious!
You won't believe how many people have been making the same mistake as you. But I'm not trying to make fun of you. I do understand how scary it would be to do it on your own!
There is actually a multiple-player version of one-man hide n seek (contradiction in terms).
I hope I can translate it soon.
I'm glad you're safe!:D
I've heard of Twilight Syndrome and I heard it's a really really creepy game!
I've done Kokkuri-san when I was a child! It was very popular with kids back in the day!
I want to tank you for all the Japanese creepy legends that you posted on your blog, I really enjoyed to read them.
P.S.: I'm very sorry for my bad English. I speak Italian and I have a huge difficult with foreign languages.

@Kai: Sure, go ahead, dear. Thank you for asking!
@Cacao: Thank you Cacao, for your comment. Your English is very, very good. Please don't feel embarrassed. I make about one hundred grammatical mistakes every
time I write somethings.
Which part of Italy are you from? I've been to Florence and Pisa, but that's about all. However, I'm into the history of the ancient Rome. And of course Italian food is just delicious. I must visit your country again sometime. Take care, grazie tanto! :D
I'm writing a book of short stories and this is a great inspiration. If I write about this, may I include your websites name in the Thank You's?

It's call one man hide and seek, because if you play more than one person, somebody can get possessed by the ghost. And that was the case in SeeU's video "Hide and Seek", the girl got possessed while playing the game.
Before you stab the doll, you are calling a spirit and offering the doll to the spirit.And the spirit will use the doll as a body, but let's hope the ghost you summon isn't a violent ghost(before you stab it), if you are planning to keep the ghost stuck in the doll.
In the video of Hide and Seek by SeeU, what happen was the girl was playing the game.And she end up getting kill, and got possessed But the boy didn't know that the girl was playing the game and he didn't even knew about the game, or the boy freaking panic and hid without the saltwater. Then at the end the girl and boy dies, but the boy got possessed.
Well, I think you fail the game if you die or get possessed. I mean letting the game last more than 2 or 3 hours, makes harder to remove the spirit. But the main point is not to get found by the doll right? So it bears the name hide and seek. And if the doll finds you it stabs you the way you stab it, tries to kill you, and tries to possess you. I'm sorry if I'm not being clear.
And I'll give it a try in summer~ I'm truly fed up with my Boring daily routine and I want some thrill in my life ! I'll make sure that when I try this ritual I'll post what happened in details >3< !
Can't try this now since I live in dorm but once I get back home maybe I'll try if there's a chance.
For the people that really want to do this, I can't stress enough how important it is to prepare yourself . Because you don't know what you summon.
I still don't know what the hell got inside but on the six month anniversary of its demise . It returned and ever since on every 20th of the month stuff got weird.
First my neighbors TV broke ( Both of them)
The month following I felt my hand burning . ( And Elly my neighbor said she woke up whit a cutting sensation on her leg on exactly the same place as when she summoned it. )
Then it was silent fore a month. (So I thought we were just imagining things)
The month afterwards I was babysitting her at my place . At 3 at night I woke up to a screeching noise but I wasn't the only one sitting up straight .On my bed a few meters from my sleeping bag I could see Elly sitting up holding a pillow and while looking around , when I asked what was wrong she told me she had been hearing a screeching noise . Fore the next 2 hours it kept coming and leaving we could not find a source but it kept coming.
The next day we went on whit our lives but now I decided to get some help from a few local "spirituals" a few of them decided to come together on the next night of the 20th. They did a lot of stuff I still don't understand but as soon as it was over it felt somewhat at ease .
Well it has been over a month and 10 days and now and I have heard from Elly that she doesn't have any nightmares at all anymore and I haven't been waking up in cold sweat .
Now I only have to pour a cup of sake on the stone that is where the doll burned.
So everything turned out "great" I guess.
But seriously don't summon this unless you are 100% sure of yourself .
Best of luck to you people .
Fun Games
I actually did some research a while back to find out if this ritual had some other story to it, and I found out that there's a belief that dolls can be used to purify harmful spirits.
Maybe this game is meant as a method of exorcism?
I really like reading these rituals along with the other stories on this site. I hope to see more in the future :D
I was linked back here by a Vocaloid song (Hide and Seek of Isolation, by 150-P), and I'm hoping you will allow me to use some parts of this in a story (i.e, things you'll need, describe the ritual...)I was inspired to do a rewrite (with 150-p's permission :D) of the concept of his songs, and this blog had the most detail and information about it.
I'll make sure to give you credit and add a link back to your blog!
Thanks in advanced, Saya! :3
I want to write a story based on this ritual, so may I ask for your permission? Your article gave me lots of inspiration! I will give a cr to your blog.
Thanks in advance!

I wanted to share my response according to a friend who tried this 2 nights ago.
According to her, she was told to come over one night by her cousin just to visit. But when she arrived, she found the ritual already in progress and was extremely frustrated. Knowing already what the consequences are, she had to proceed with the ritual She told us that she heard a woman laughing as well as children. The mistake they made was, the doll wasn't put back into the bathtub, they just left it someplace. They claimed to say that the doll walked down the stairs and they clearly heard it coming down. My friend forced her cousin to end the ritual because she absolutely did not want part of this. In the nicest way. :) When they found the doll, it was standing by the front door, with the needle in hand.
I trust her words, but I can see if everyone else will be skeptical about my response.
As far as I know, the cousin will not attempt this again. For one, my friend beat her senseless for doing something she shouldn't have as well as her dad. And secondly, I don't think she will ever be skeptical when trying this ritual again.
Thank you all for reading my comment.
And thank you Miss Saya, I found your blog to be most interesting and I often visit it for your creepy stories and rituals. Of course I won't try to disturb the paranormal, I'm just merely interested in it is all.

I think doing this ritual outside would remove the barrier of being indoors and put everyone on the streets in danger. I'm guessing "halfway" just means without doing the finishing ritual. Salt is believed to be a purifying agent and to chase away unwanted spirits. If you sit with the doll instead of hiding, then I guess it'd be super easy for the doll to find you and try to trade your body for the dolls.
i got some questions:
1. well since this ritual is too risky and might put someone in danger too. can i use an abandoned house to perform the ritual?
2. if there's no bathtub can i use a bucket or bowl?
3. will it work if i use a tv on a mobile phone?
4. i havent figured out for the hiding place if this ritual requires only a closet. any suggestions for the alternative place? ^^"
sorry for my english and thank you for your time ^^
Godspeed
I'm not an authority on this ritual so I can't answer these questions to your full satisfaction.
1. Sure. Why not?
2. Just try and see.
3. ditto.
4. Read the instruction again. Nowhere does it say the hiding place must be a closet.
Sorry I can't help you much!
Take care! :)
Stay well
I wish to perform this ritual with my crush, not at the same time or with same dolls, and had a quick question. He and I both Live In houses with several t.v.s. Do we turn them all on, only one, or just howmany we desire?
sincerely
