Ritual Creepypastas have some of the deepest roots and urban legends and haunted histories. That wind around tales handed down, as far back as the edo era of Japan. Although not all have their origins there. Many spawned from ancient tales of Demons, Devils, Ghosts and Spirits; woven by mystics of the Orient. Tonight, we will run a fine-tooth loom through these rich texts and dissect their gruesome origins and the steps that can lead only the most fate tempted few, into the macabre parts of Ritual Creepypastas. Legends about mirrors have been around for hundreds of years. In particular, some ancient civilizations believed that there was a sort of purifying effect to mirrors. They believed that by looking at your reflection in the eyes, it would transfer a person's negative energy, into the reflection in the mirror. They believe that this had a cleansing effect but also hidden dangers. That's why breaking a mirror has been known to cause bad luck. For this ritual to work, you will need a mirror that you don't mind breaking. According to the manifesto, both the risk and the eventual reward for this ritual are stronger depending on how old the mirror is. The ritual needs to be started after sunset with at least 6 hours until dawn. Breathe on the mirror. By breathing on the mirror you are symbolically linking yourself to the mirror and to the negative energy contained inside. This linking is critical to the success of the ritual. Use the candle to burn the mirror. This agitates the negative energy inside. You only need to do this for a few seconds or until there is a noticeable black mark on the mirror. The final part is breaking the mirror and running. Now normally when a person breaks a mirror, they would be followed by bad luck. but this is a common misconception. When a mirror is broken, the bad energy stays in one spot near the broken mirror, until it eventually disappears. Bad luck we'll follow you throughout the night. At first, it will start out as small incidents. But then these incidents will begin to escalate into increasingly horrific things. Eventually, these incidents will become life-threatening. The bad luck will chase you throughout the night, but if you manage to survive until dawn, not only will you find that your bad luck has ended, but a new streak of good luck is about to begin. The negative energy inside the mirror will be purified and will reenter your body filling you to the brim with positive energy. It's noted that the positive energy will only last a few days from new mirrors. However with older mirrors, the positive energy could last months possibly years. The Holders is a special Ritual Pasta. One that offers a unique object of power One that you can consider being a blessing or a curse depending on how you view it. Each object that The Holder seek, has a different spin a different task and a different danger for the seekers to face. All 538 objects have a twist to them and usually involve death for those who seek, but there's one that is well known at least one recurring scenario that happens quite frequently; and here's how it goes. Go to any insane asylum or halfway house and ask a specific question. Once done depending on the response from the workers there, you may have found what you're looking for or you may not. Now the objects are picky for whom want to present itself to. There are special ones that involve performing a task like going into an old house, or other tedious tasks but in the end you will encounter a trial no matter what object you're going for. So what are the objects and why do people want them? Well, the powerful objects we are talking about, our items such as a cell phone that can kill people with just a single text. or a spoon that can predict the deaths of loved ones and possibly even prevent them. Either way, The Holders are people who seek objects of power and in the end: rather you seek for union, separation or power, I can without a doubt say. Death is most likely in your future. The "Raven Man" has been described as a creature that looks like a man with large wings for arms and is completely covered in feathers and has white eyes. It is said that if you can summon him and talk to him he will grant your request and answer truthfully. What you'll need to summon him is as follows: 5 candles, salt, a needle of some sort and a protection symbol; so a talisman or cross should do. It's also important to keep it on you for the entire ritual. Create a circle of salt. this is for protection, as it's a place where the "Raven Man" cannot tread. Line up the candles before as you read each line, it's important to light 1 candle with each passing line. the incantation goes: Now take the needle and pierce your skin so you can get a drop of your blood. Touch the last candle and say: You may catch a glimpse of the "Raven Man, but will most likely simply feel his presence. You can ask him whatever question you may want and he will answer you truthfully. No one has ever asked more than 3 questions. The "Raven Man" appears to know the answer to every single question he is asked, but he may choose to answer in very vague enigmatic ways. Each answer he has given, has been reported as correct. With the exception of a single one. It is important never to threaten or mock the "Raven Man," for he will see this as an insult and take you to purgatory. Once you're done with your ritual, it is your turn to release him. Thank him for coming to see you and answering your requests; and put the candles out one by one. but do not blow out the candles, instead snuff them out with your fingers. Keep the talisman or protection symbol with you while you sleep. "Ubume" is a japanese "yukai" believed to originate from the edo era of Japan. It is listed in author Hokusai's Hyaku Monogatari. Which translated means "the tome of a hundred monster stories." Descriptions of "Ubume" encapsulate an over rotten mother thought to have perished in the pains of birth. Her child having died before the birthing process was ever complete; but never passed into the world outside of the womb. This left "Ubume" in a state of restless limbo where she longed to hold her newborn Dead or alive, to her bosom as mothers are so inclined to do. Alas, this unfulfilled ache and her restless spirit drove her rotting semblance back to haunt the delivery rooms of many hospitals. Black rings or patches of rotten hospital ceiling tiles mark her presence and her eagerness to strike when the child reaches its final
trimester. And so in Japan, when a mother births her baby she is instantly given the whailing newborn to hold close as "Ubume" knows a mother's will and grasp is too strong to let their new child be taken from them. But unbeknownst to most, when a mother dies in birth or both mother and fetus die, the newborn is still placed in the arms of the mother's corpse, even if an all-out vivisection needs to be performed, this seals the Protection Ritual that will stop "Ubume" from ripping the child from the belly of the dead mother. Whether it be living or having passed like a jealous "Ubume." While not a Ritual Pasta on its own. This Creepypasta has its roots buried deep within a very real, very scary and very spiritual ritual. "Tulpas" are visual representations of yourself in which you can use the access your own subconscious. But many monks can do this ritual, if you're weak minded, weak-willed or just overall unfit to be doing this. Your most animalistic desires and needs will take control over you. Tulpas are an imaginary being created in your mind that will talk and react to you, and you will react to it, both physically and mentally. Also studies show that "Tulpas" have been reported to be most common amongst children rather than adults. Subconscious actions will also become conscious. Dark recesses of your mind will become vocal and finally, you will become your subconscious. While your mind takes over. Yes it goes without saying that this is very dangerous and requires deep thought and concentration in order for this be achieved. but (sinister laugh) As you all may know, not everything goes according to plan and I can guarantee you if you ever been practicing your studying most of your life.. this won't. "The Elevator Ritual" is a creepy paranormal game originating in Japan and Korea. The main goal of this ritual is a common theme seen in many Creepypasta Rituals, and that is to enter a parallel dimension via a man-made machinery. The steps are simple and as follows You must get into an Elevator alone. Enter the following floors in order "4th floor, 2nd floor," "6th floor, 2nd floor" and the "10th floor." If someone gets in while you are doing this, the ritual will not work. When you arrive at the "10th floor," press the "5th floor" button again, without getting out. When you arrive at the "5th floor," a young woman will get in and join you in the elevator. Do not speak to her. After the woman gets in, press the "1st floor" button. After you press the "1st floor" button, the elevator will take you up to the "10th floor" instead of taking you down to the "1st floor." if you press any other floors button at this point, the ritual won't work. When your elevator is gone past the "9th floor," you can take it as a sign your ritual is now complete. There's only one way of checking if the ritual has been successful. This new area only have one person in it. You. What this black and white parallel dimension is exactly is a vague theory at best. Some say it's an ethereal plane only where the Corporal may enter, but will be unable to lay mortal eyes on the tortured souls trapped in this limbo. The neon cross in the distance is believed to be a little more than a metaphorical carrot on a stick, meant to lead the foolish from their entrance point, in the hopes that they will not find their way back to their normal realm. It's reported that the longer you spend in the realm, the closer the noises will come. In many versions of this game, state that after a certain point, it's no longer possible to return to the present. The ritual does not always work it's believed that there are certain conditions that need to be in place but no one is sure what they are. "The Elevator Ritual" has also been recorded by LA Police who witnessed the disappearance of a woman on CCTV who was seen pushing elevator buttons in a strange order and simply vanishing after an hour with no trace. "The Three Kings Ritual," is an ability to enter a parallel plane called "The Shadow Side." It's been rumored that this plane reflects what mood you're in; so the ritual must be performed when the participant is at peace of mind. The ritual must be performed in a empty and quiet room. If the room has windows they must be covered, to make sure no light can enter it. Other materials will include: a candle, a mug of water, a fan, 2 large mirrors, 3 chairs, an alarm clock, a cell phone, a friend who will help you follow the rules; and lastly a small toy or object from your childhood. Now place 1 chair, in the center of the room facing North. Place the 2 other chairs exactly to the left and right facing your throne. one would be the 'Queen Seat.' the other is the 'Fool Seat.' Place the 2 large mirrors on the 'Queen' and 'Fool' chairs left and right of you facing you. Try your best to have them stand at a 90 degree angle If you sit down on your throne, facing straight ahead.. you should be able to perceive your own reflection in each of the 2 mirrors, without actually having to turn your head. Place the bucket of water and the mug in front of you, just barely out of reach. Place the fan behind you. Turn it on to the medium or low setting. Turn off the lights. Leave the door open and go to your bedroom. Set the candles by the side of the bed next to a lighter, your alarm clock and your cell phone. Set your alarm clock for 3:30am and sleep while holding your power object. Once the alarm wakes you up at 3:30am, turn it off but don't turn on the light. You have exactly 3 minutes to light your candle, grab your cell phone and power toy; and make your way to that dark room to sit on your throne. You should be seated by 3:33am. Now before we proceed.. This is very important. If your cell phone isn't working 'Abort The Ritual.' If the alarm didn't go off exactly at
3:30am 'Abort The Ritual.' if you find the dark room closed and remember you left it open.. 'Abort The Ritual.' If the fan is turned off.. 'Abort The Ritual.' If all is going as planned. Place the cell phone in your pocket, walk into the room with the candle and power toy and sit upon your throne. Do not look directly at either of the 2 mirrors beside you. Do not let the candle go out. The fan is behind you and you must protect the candle with your body. Look straight ahead at the darkness
without looking at either the candle or the mirrors. Gaining access to the 'Shadow Side,' can be a lengthy process, as people have reported the procedure to not work or else catch a glimpse of it. While your friend will not be participating with you in the ritual, they will be on hand in case anything drastic happens to you. These will include: calling your cell phone or throwing a mug of water to draw you back to the normal world. The toy is used to feel the presence of the normal world, if the user's sight is somehow impaired by the vision. 'Macbeth' is a Protection Ritual for those who are either ignorant enough to commit a certain act, or those who are interested in tempting fate for the worst 'Macbeth' originates from Shakespeare's play of the same name. Apparently he wrote the play and named it after a word closely associated with "a coven of witches." The story goes that these witches curse the word and if you use it in the theater. It will cause your own death or very bad misfortune. Now this is where the ritual comes in. Next time you're in the theater. Stand in
the empty foyer, place your hands by your side.. and look down and close your eyes. Under your breath say the word: You require maximum concentration. A minute or so will pass and your sense will become numb. You'll feel very cold chill and three beings will surround you. Do not open your eyes, or you will surely die of a heart attack, for you are now surrounded by the ghosts of the three witches. With your eyes still closed.. look up and speak the words: Which is a line from Shakespeare's "Hamlet" contained in Act 1 Scene 4. Now stand and wait. You'll feel your skin begin to crawl, but yet it will remain perfectly still. After a minute or so a wall of ice cold wind will hit you, and once this has happened.. Open your eyes once more. Spin around 3 times and then spit over your left shoulder. You have been cleansed of the curse at this point; and for your participation the witches have granted you eternal fortune. Now leave the theater and never return, or you are doomed to suffer a truly horrible ending. Far more complicated and strict in its details to attention, "The Black Phone Ritual," almost comes across as a snare for the full hardy or puzzle box for the challenge hungry Nonetheless, theorists have suggested that both "The Elevator" and "Black Phone" rituals.. could be tied together; in the sense that is believed they land you in the same ethereal dimension. What you'll need is: A black rotary phone,
paper and writing materials, 2 black cords measuring more than 40 centimeters; and a watch. Turn off all the lights in the house. Shut all the curtains in every room. Remove any salt that is located in the room with the rotary phone. When you're ready.. Tie "1 of the black cords" to the handset of
the phone very tightly, so it doesn't come undone. Hold the handset at a distance away and dial "20406080" Place the headset back on the rest. Lift the handset again and this time dial: "25515823" But leave the handset lying down. Walk into another room and close the door to the room with the rotary phone. Wait in the room for 1 minute, by checking your watch. Enter back into the room with the rotary phone, and place the handset on it's rest. Dial the same number. Leave the handset lying down and walk to the 3rd empty room of the house. Close the door and wait in there for another minute. Leave the room after the minute and enter the room with the rotary phone again. Place the handset back to it's state but don't pick it up. Dial "22822." Leave the phone and enter the 4th nearest room of the house. This time shut your eyes and close the door. Feel for for the doorknob and tie the "2nd black cord" into a double eight shape knot. Wait several minutes and open your eyes. Don't utter a single word, but draw back the curtains and if the windows have turned all black, the ritual has worked. To end the ritual, find an "8 digit number" lying around the room. Write it on a piece of paper, grab the doorknob with the cord, close your eyes and repeat that number over and over again in your head. If you feel that someone is speaking to you, trying to grab you.. ignore it and concentrate on the number in your mind. Check to see if the windows in the room are still black. If they haven't changed, it means the ritual hasn't been ended. If you have been successful, it is important to burn the "8 digit number," otherwise you're prone to having strange experiences and calls from unknown people. "The Bath Game" or "Daruma" is a paranormal ghost game that originated in Japan. The game involves summoning a grotesque ghost that follows you all day. The object of the game, is to evade the ghost and prevent it from catching you. The ritual is as follows: Before you go
to bed at night, take off your clothes and go into the bathroom. Fill the bathtub with water and turn off all the lights. Sit in the middle of the bathtub, facing the faucets or taps. Wash your hair while repeating over and over the words: As you wash your hair in your mind, you should see an image of a Japanese woman, standing in the bathtub. She slips and falls onto a rusty tap. The tap goes through her eye and kills her. Keep repeating the words: until you finish washing your hair. Your eyes must remain shut. You may hear or feel a slight movement in the bath behind you. Keep your eyes close,d do not peek. You have just something a ghost. The ghostly figure of a woman will rise out of the water behind you. You will feel her presence as she stares at you. Her head just behind your right shoulder. Her hair is black and tangled, her clothes are tattered and rotting. She only has one eye. her left eye is wide open and bloodshot. Her right eye is missing. Leaving just a bloody hollow eye socket. When you sense the presence of the ghost, say out loud: Keeping your eyes shut tightly, stand up get out of the bath. Be careful not to trip and fall. Immediately leave the bathroom and shut the door behind you. Now it's safe to open your eyes. Leave
the water in the bath overnight and go to sleep. The next morning when you wake up, the game will begin. The ghost of the one eyed woman will be following you. Whenever you turn to look, she will disappear. Throughout the day, when you glance over your right shoulder You'll occasionally catch a glimpse of her. She will get closer and closer as the day goes on. Do not allow her to catch you. If you glance over your shoulder and you see that she's way too close. You should shout: Which means stop. Then run away as quickly as possible. This will allow you to put some distance between yourself and the one eyed woman. To end the game, you must catch a glimpse of the ghost woman and shout: Which means "I cut you loose." Then hold out your hand in front of you and swing it down in a cutting motion. In folklore and children street culture, "Bloody Mary" is a game in which a ghost of the same name is set to appear in a mirror when summoned. One of the more common ways a participant can attempt to make her appear is to stand before a mirror in the dark and repeat her name 3 times. Though, there are many variations and some include chanting the name a specific time, running of the water, spinning around or chanting with a lit candle. "Bloody Mary," well the real Bloody Mary, would essentially use her noble powers to get virgin girls from local towns to be her servants. Now, once they were there oftentimes, stripped, tortured and drained of blood, so she could bathe in an attempt to remain young and beautiful forever, hence the name Bloody Mary. Go into your bathroom alone, late at night and look into a mirror. Say "Bloody Mary" 3 times Turn off the lights and repeat "Bloody Mary" another 3 times and turn on the lights. If the plan goes horribly, the ghost layer will appear behind you and you are all horror junkie types, i'm pretty sure you can guess what happens from that point on. Understand, this ritual has many variants and many variations because it's changed over the years and times. So if you heard it in a different way, it's because you probably did 'Kuchisakeonna' which translates literally to "The Split Mouth Woman," is a toshi densetsu, or in English an urban legend, that recounts the horrific tale of a woman who stole the heart of her rivals love who in turn faced her down in a dark alley one night and in a mad rage mutilated her face by ripping her mouth ear to ear. The "Split Mouth Woman," was driven mad by the fact that she was once beautiful in that she now wears a med mask at all
hours when she spotted beautiful children. She envied them and it was said that she would ask: "Do you think I am beautiful?" Respectfully and mostly just nod or approve of what little of her face they could see. 'Kuchisakeonna' would then remove her mask, allowing her jaw to flop open hideously. she would then ask the same question and if the victim answered yes, then they would have to suffer through their own mouth being slashed open in the same manner. If they answered no then they would be simply killed on the spot. This urban legend grew so strong, in the early 1990s era of Japan, that school children were asked to be walked home by teachers. Prevention of "Kuchisake's attack is said to work as follows: When approached by her, she will ask the
victim: "Do you think I am beautiful?" A response
of yes will cause her to drop the mask and show her mouth. She will ask that same question again Answering yes, will cause 'Kuchisakeonna to carve a slash in the victims mouth similar to hers; and answering no will cause Kuchisake to kill the victim right on the spot. Victims have apparently thought of an ambiguous answer of: "I don't know" or by throwing candy at Kuchisake causing confusion. It distracts her long enough to escape. "The Devil's Game" is an incredibly dangerous game that some say is rather difficult to pull off or even make work. The Devil is a rather odd supernatural being, rooted in many different religions and occult rituals. "The Devil's Game" is one ritual on how to contact him. The ritual explains that, by entering a church at 11:30pm; you'll need a wall sized mirror, red string, red or white candles and salt. Once you have the mirror in place, wrap the string around it and tie it together. This is to bind the spirit and simply protect yourself from him. So he won't get out. Place the candles evenly apart. Now they need to be red or white, because those symbolize purity and protection. As you can tell, most of this is for your own protection; and most of this protection is usually based on belief. So you may want to experiment if you wish. Now put a circle or half circle of salt around the mirror. Finally you'll need to sit down and simply pray or believe the Devil to be present. Keep in mind, this part of the ritual must be done between the time of '00:00am' and '00:15am.' It's been rumored he will show up. However he's more likely to appear on days such as 'Friday the 13th,' 'Halloween' or simply a day that has a dark psychological effect. This is again, a belief based system. If all goes according to plan he will be looking at you through the mirror. It is of vital importance to never look into his eyes; but rather your eyes focused on his face. As looking directly into his eyes will cause him to suddenly appear.. outside the mirror in this realm. Now "The Devil's Game" is played between you and the Devil. One will ask the question and the other will answer it. you will need to answer what question he asks, truthfully and honestly and he will be forced to do the same. But remember.. "The Devil's Game," can go horribly wrong and can be incredibly unpredictable should you decide to stumble on a question or take too long to answer. "The Midnight Game" is an old pagan ritual used mainly as punishment for those who have broken the laws of the pagan religion in question While it was mainly used as a scare tactic not to disobey the gods, there is still a chance of death to those who attempt to play "The Midnight Game." So let's begin the actual ritual. It must be exactly 'Midnight' to begin performing the ritual, otherwise it won't work. You'll need a candle, a piece of paper, a writing implement, matches, salt, a wooden door and at least one drop on your own blood. If you are playing with multiple people they will need their own aforementioned materials and they will have to perform the following steps: Write your full name, first middle and last on the piece of paper. Put at least one drop of blood on the paper Allow it to soak into it. Next turn off all the lights in the place you're doing this. Go to your wooden door and place the paper with your name on it in front of the door. Knock on the door "22 times." the hour must be 'midnight' on the final knock. The door may open by itself. The entity you have just summoned is called "The Midnight Man." This is where the game begins. You must now look around your own completely dark house with the lit candle in your hand. Your goal is to avoid "The Midnight Man" at
all costs till '3.33am.' Should your candle ever go out, that means "The Midnight Man" is near you. You must relight your candle immediately. If you're not successful in doing this, you must immediately surround yourself with a circle of salt. if you are unsuccessful in both of your actions, "The Midnight Man" will create a hallucination of your greatest fear and kill you If you are successful in creating the circle of salt, you must remain there until '3:33 am.' Afterwards "The Midnight Man" will disappear. If you are successful relighting your candle, you may proceed with the game. To win the game, you must avoid being captured by "The Midnight Man" until '3:33am.' "The Midnight Man" will leave your house afterwards and you'll be able to proceed with your morning. "Hide and Go Seek Alone" is a famous game in Japan and Korea. Originating from Japan, where you let a
spirit possess a doll and play a game of Hide and go seek with it. Essentially, it's a form of necromancy and it goes without saying that it's very dangerous. But i highly doubt that any of you are going to listen to me; so why don't we start off with what you'll need. A 'stuffed doll with limbs.' it's recommended to use a human doll as there's a huge chance that the Spirit will not leave it. if you have an animal doll with limbs, it can be used as well. 'Rice.' Now rice is said to attract spirits and is supposed to be more attracted inside, that usually would reside in your doll. 'Something from your body.' Now usually fingernails for the doll to represent you. This means if you do something to the doll.. the same thing will happen to yourself.
Never use someone else's body parts, this will result in the doll replacing that person instead of the doll and the game will not work correctly. "A sharp-edged object to anger the spirit within the doll, usually by stabbing it" Now be sure not to use a knife or scissors as the doll will potentially stab you with it after it finds you. Use a pencil or small needle instead. It's recommended that you use a wooden toothpick. "Red thread to sew up the hole you made with the doll." This later symbolizes blood vessels and acts as a restraint later in the game. "Salt water or salt." Now this will be used later in the game to get rid of the spirit inside the doll. A bathtub with water." If your home does not have a bathtub, a basin large enough to put the doll in with water in a bathroom works too. "A very safe sanctuary or hiding spot." When its the doll's turn to find you; if you have a room with statues and things related to your religion, it's recommended you make that you're hiding spot. You must turn off all lights and leave the television on static. Head to your hiding spot and then count to 10 and return to the bathroom with your sharp edged object. After stabbing the doll to declare that the object is "it" Again and then return to your hiding spot where you're able to sip half a cup of salt water without swallowing. Now after counting to 10. They must find you. The television static is said to flicker
on and off when the doll is near you. If it has moved, if it has found you, spit the salt water on then pour the leftover contents of the cup ending the ritual. It is a vital importance that the doll is dried, burned and stuffed with salt afterwards or the demon or spirit may have not have completely left it.
