The One Man Challenge??

Tweet

Well, this actually came to mind after @celticeagle posted her most recent discussion... I was sitting at the kitchen table the other day, when my niece started to tell me about videos she was watching. Apparently she's been found herself fascinated with youtube a lot lately. There is a challenge, apparently, where a person is to take their (or someone else's DNA) and fill it inside an unstuffed bear.. I think, in her example, it was people's hair. They would then take the bear, sew it back up, and use any instrument to stab into the bear. She said you could use a knife, but she didn't think that would be a good choice... Why she thought that? well because supposedly after stabbing the bear with this implement, you are supposed to set it down and (if my memory serves) leave the room... The bear will then supposedly come alive and try to kill you with whatever tool you left on it. I think she said the means of which to dispel the thing, but I can't recall... The whole idea is ridiculous and the "bloody mary" challenge / legend comes to mind.. However, regardless, I still find the whole thing disturbing. It is akin to some sort of black magick, if one can believe in that. I had to burst my niece's bubble, letting her know that it wasn't real. She seemed crushed by the revelation, though she wouldn't admit to being upset over it. I fear that someone will try this, and then thinking to scare their friends, turn the lights out (as I think might've been a requisite to the challenge) and then proceed to stab the friend with whatever implement was left on the stuffed animal. (It didn't necessarily need to be a bear, so my niece says.) Can we go back to the days when "Bloody Mary" challenges were the worst of it?
