Do you like scary stories? Would you like to live one out? Would you give your life to hear the scariest story you have ever heard? Well then you wanna try the campfire ritual. Like all rituals be ABSOLUTELY SURE you want to try it before attempting it. Now with all of that out of the way you may proceed.

Requirements:

A dark forest

Something to light a fire with (flint fire starters produce the best results)

Something to set on fire (can be obtained later)

A bag of marshmallows and roasting sticks

Some camping gear (you might be there for awhile)

A object that makes you feel safe (if you are easily scared)

A scary story

The setup: head into the forest on a moonless night and setup your fire (you may use materials from the forest). Start roasting one your marshmallows and shout very loudly, “does anyone want to hear a ghost story,” three times. Soon a man in a black cloak will emerge from the trees and sit by the fire. Once he removes his cloak you will be able to see his face, but whatever you do DO NOT LOOK INTO HIS EYES or you will see unspeakable things and die of fear. Once he is seated he might ask to “see” the object (if you brought one) do not give it to him. When he asks for a marshmallow give him one he will then ask you to tell him a ghost story, proceed to tell your story and pay attention to his marshmallow.

If it does not roast: he will get up thank you for the marshmallows and the story and leave (he did not like your story)

If it burns and falls in the fire: he will leave without thanking you (your story upset him) stay in the fires light until the sun rises

If it roasts: he liked your story and will start to tell his own story this will be the scariest story you have ever heard but no matter what happens in the story DO NOT SCREAM, DO NOT SPEAK TO HIM, DO NOT INTERUPT HIM.
