The Thumb Game
This is a game that comes from Japan for a group of three or more players. Apparently, if you "win" this game, you get a wish granted. On the flip side, if you lose, you could become a homicidal ghost trapped on another plane. Damn, there's always a catch, isn't there?
There's a story behind this game. A 20-year-old woman was murdered and dismembered in a villa. Police rounded up all of her body parts, except for one: they could not find her left thumb... charming.
To play the game, the players sit in a circle. Each player grabs the thumb of the person to their right (so you are holding their left thumb). Everyone closes their eyes—and must keep them closed for the whole game. Seriously, no peeking.
Players imagine the villa very vividly. There is a Japanese chant that transports the group to the villa where they much search for the thumb. If you feel any taps on your shoulder at any time, ignore it—whatever you do, don't turn around! There is a single candle in the room. If you blow it out, it will transport you back to your own dimension.
Now, if you find the thumb, blow out the candle and you win—your wish is granted. Shiny! If you don't find the thumb, you can simply go back, and you're no worse for wear.
However, many dangers abound. If someone lets go of your thumb, you lose your digit. If you open your eyes, if you turn around when you feel a tap, or if you let the candle go out on its own, you will be killed and your spirit will be bound to the villa where you will tap and kill other players for eternity.

The Ouija Board or Spirit Board
The Ouija or spirit board is basically a tool for spirit communications. The spirit uses you—your eyes and your body—as a vessel to move the planchette around on top of a board during a séance to spell out words and answer questions. Think of it as old-fashioned, cross-dimensional text messaging. Only instead of with your friend, you’re exchanging messages from beyond (cue sudden lightning bolt and ominous orchestra flourish).
Some people will tell you that the board is just a toy. Well, Parker Brothers did make it into a game, but they didn’t invent the concept. Techniques similar to this board have been used for ages to communicate with spirits.
It seems everybody and his mother has a Ouija board story to tell. Some people experience nothing at all. Many people will attest to odd happenings, such as knocks, scratches, falling or flying objects, or odd messages. Some people have complained of spirits following them or haunting them after using the Ouija board—a danger mostly faced by those using it improperly. Mocking spirits, asking when you or someone else will die, or inviting spirits to show or "prove" themselves are said to be the worst mistakes a person can make.
If you’re familiar with the movie The Exorcist, you may or may not know it was based on an actual possession case of a little boy who "played" with the Ouija board. I don’t know about that, but I can attest to one thing from personal experience: pissed-off spirits are not above chucking both the board and planchette at your head.
The Librarian Ritual:The Librarian' is the term given to an entity which appears under a very strict and specific set of rules. No one knows exactly what it is or why it appears under the conditions it does. However, I do know one thing for certain, that it has a higher chance of appearing in a library.If you ever decide to attempt this ritual (NOT RECOMMENDED), be sure to properly follow the rules. Failing to do so will enrage The Librarian and you can be certain that the results will not be pleasant.You will need: *Three candles
*A book which centers around some ideology which led to the death of people. This could be the idea from a religion’s holy book to anything else. It must, however be the cause for a killing or mass killing of historical significance. If not, then at the very least, the ritual won’t work. At worst, it will be seen as an insult to The Librarian.
*A quill. It can be from any bird as long as it’s a feather that you can write with.
*Drops of your own blood, enough to write with and to draw a circle.
*A small desk or table.
*A sharp knife, good enough to pierce through the book.
*Matches.
*A handgun with two or more rounds of ammunition. If you’re with people, then they must individually see to the requirements for themselves. Keep in mind that this ritual can be done in any space, from 12AM to 4AM. It hasn’t been observed to happen at any other time. If you choose to carry this out then it is advised that you do it with a group of people, for safety reasons.
Carrying out the ritual
Step 1: Find a spacious area with many exits so that you can escape easily if anything goes wrong during the proceedings of ritual.
Step 2: Place the candles in a circle in the center of the room and light each one with a six second delay after lighting the last one.
Step 3: Position the desk or table in the center of the circle.
Step 4: Place your book of choice on the desk or table.
Step 5: Take the quill and draw a large circle with your blood on the first page of the book.
Step 6: Write your name (or names) clearly within the circle of blood.
Step 7: This is where you must ask boldly, ‘What is the most powerful weapon?’ ‘Knowledge’ will be heard echoing through the halls, room or space, depending on where you are. It is believed that this is The Librarian’s answer to your question.
Step 8: Stab the book where you drew the circle. Ensure that your names are touched by the incision.
You will not be able to see The Librarian but you will feel the cold pressure of its presence. You may see a shadow from the corner of your eye. There is no need to look because if The Librarian has appeared, then it has already deemed you worthy. You’ll only ever truly see The Librarian if it wants to attack you.
After feeling the presence, extinguish all of the candles and burn all of the materials that you used, including the desk and the book, for they are now cursed.
As a result of the ritual, you will have an enhanced mental capacity beyond most. You’ll be on par with the most blessed and sharpest minds. The catch is, by doing this ritual, you have signed a blood contract with The Librarian. You will feel its presence wherever you go. On hot summer days you will cast two shadows and on long winter nights it will loom over you, unseen but present. Other people will not notice this and you will likely be driven insane by it.
This will apply to all the participants of the ritual. Remember, you must NEVER contact each other after performing it.
Oh, and you must’ve guessed by now that the handgun is to be used only if something goes wrong. If The Librarian decides to attack you, then by all means, do not hesitate to shoot it. If a single round has no effect, then the rest of the rounds are for you, for death is preferable to what it does to its victims.
NOTE: As many of you may already know, blood in a ritual can be used as a binding contract, which is why such rituals should be generally avoided. I’ve noticed that several rituals casually throw in the use of blood without mentioning the true consequences of it. Whether this is meant to lure in an unsuspecting individual or if it’s a result of just plain ignorance, is up for debate. I like the fact that this particular ritual clearly states the consequences of attempting it. Consequences, that should be enough to discourage most, in spite of the reward it promises. Regardless of whether this works or not, I wouldn’t recommend trying it out.

The Triple Mirror Game
A psychic friend of mine first showed me this game long ago. In folklore through the ages, thresholds and mirrors were believed to form windows into the spirit world when they’re used together.
To play this game, a person first needs to protect themselves by spiritually cleansing the room and putting a line of salt across all thresholds and windowsills. The person then lights a white candle in the room and sets it on the threshold to attract the spirits in the building. Spirits are apparently mega-curious about white candles for some reason, kind of like the way a laser pen used on the wall attracts cats.
You’re supposed to arrange 3 mirrors in the room so that you bounce the reflection of the door from one to the other. It is said that if you gaze into the third mirror, you can see the spirits that might be hanging around the home.
