I just did this the other day. Sadly I died, and am posting this from my ghost phone which I bought with my hard-earned ghost bucks.

On a more serious note, this calls back to the old "ritual" type creepypastas that flared into popularity at one point. They were interesting for a reason, although tye always had the common pitfalls of being extremely specific instructions that still managed to be vague enough that no one in a thousand years would be able to actually pull off, which takes away from the spooky factor of a story. That, and the lingering question of how the hell anyone would know this stuff to begin with. This story does somewhat skirt those issues, but is still overall pretty cool to read.

One thing that does peeve me is when authors go like, "this thing is so terrifying and extreme that anyone who sees it would die." It's a strong point to leave certain things up to the veiwer's imagination, but when you get to a certain point, it just becomes a lack of cretivity, when people are deadly curious to know just what would be so awful to see (referencing the hell portion).
