Latest Twitter trend 'Charlie Charlie Challenge' has teens trying to summon Mexican demon

NEW YORK (PIX11) — Teens are participating in a new social media craze that attempts to summon a Mexican demon named Charlie.

The Charlie Charlie Challenge surfaced Monday on Twitter and has gone viral across social media platforms.

The challenge includes putting two pencils on a piece of paper in the shape of a cross. The words "yes" and "no" are written in boxes outlined by the pencils. Then the participants say "Charlie, Charlie are you here?"
