The Dry Bones Ritual

The Dry Bones Ritual is a paranormal game in which you play hide and seek with a demonic entity. The game, if won, is said to grant the participant any wish they desire. However, the risks are high: failure to escape or end the ritual properly can lead to severe consequences, including injury, possession, or worse.

The entity you summon is often described as malevolent, and playing this game invites it into your home. The goal of the game is to hide from the entity until 3:00 AM without being found. If the entity finds you, the consequences could be life-threatening. The prize for success is tempting, but the risks should not be taken lightly.

The ritual must be performed when you are the only person in the house. The game must begin after 12:01 AM, and the entity will hunt you until 3:00 AM. Failure to complete the ritual by this time could result in dire consequences. The wish you make must be reasonable and possible, or the entity may twist your wish into something harmful. If your candle goes out before the game is over, the entity will be able to find you more easily.

What You Will Need:

A Bathroom with a Mirror, A Candle, Matches or a Lighter, A Timepiece, and A Safe Hiding Spot

Playing the Game:

Begin by entering the bathroom with the lit candle. Make sure the door is closed behind you and that you are alone.

Stand in front of the mirror with the candle in hand. Keep your eyes focused on your reflection and avoid looking away.

To summon the entity, say the following phrase aloud: "I am aware of your presence, and I welcome you. Come now." Say this three times, clearly and with conviction.

After you finish saying the phrase, remain silent and still. You must wait for a sign that the entity has arrived. This could be a change in temperature, a sudden noise, or an unusual feeling. If you sense anything out of the ordinary, it means the entity has accepted your invitation.

Once you receive the signal that the entity has arrived, you must quickly exit the bathroom, leaving the candle in the hallway or on a nearby surface.

Your task is now to hide somewhere in the house. The entity will begin to seek you out, and your goal is to remain hidden until 3:00 AM without being caught.

You must find a secure hiding spot where the entity is unlikely to find you. Common spots include closets, under beds, or behind furniture. Make sure you can stay quiet and calm in this location.

As the entity searches for you, you may hear unusual noises, footsteps, or feel an eerie presence near you. Under no circumstances should you make any noise or leave your hiding spot until the game is over.

During the game, the entity may try to lure you out by creating disturbances or mimicking familiar sounds (like voices or objects moving). Do not fall for these tricks. Remain hidden and quiet.

The game automatically ends at 3:00 AM. If the entity has not found you by this time, you have won the game. You can now come out of hiding. Return to the bathroom where you first summoned the entity. You must look into the mirror again and say: "Thank you for playing, but you must now leave." Say this phrase three times, clearly and respectfully. After saying the closing phrase, blow out the candle. This will sever the connection between you and the entity and signal the end of the game. After the candle is extinguished, you may make one wish. The wish should be made silently and must be something realistic. Wishes that are impossible or selfish may backfire.

After the Ritual:

After completing the ritual, some people report feeling a lingering presence in their home or experiencing strange phenomena for a few days. This is why it is important to perform cleansing rituals, such as burning sage or sprinkling salt, to ensure the entity has fully left.

Once you have played the Dry Bones Ritual, it is advised not to attempt it a second time. Repeated attempts may weaken the boundaries between your world and the entity's, increasing the danger.

NOTE: If nothing happens after a few minutes, you can assume the entity did not appear. Do not try again that night. Simply extinguish the candle and abandon the ritual.

If the entity finds you before 3:00 AM, the consequences can be severe. Some claim that it may harm or even possess you. There are also accounts of participants disappearing after the ritual.

Any noise or movement during the game may give away your location, making it easier for the entity to find you.

If your candle goes out before the game ends, you must immediately perform a cleansing ritual (such as burning sage or sprinkling salt around your hiding spot) and end the game as quickly as possible.

The Dry Bones Ritual is not for those who are faint of heart. It is a test of courage, and if done correctly, it offers the promise of a granted wish. However, the stakes are high, and failure could result in terrifying consequences. If you choose to play, proceed with caution and ensure that you are prepared for the dangers you may face.
