The Midnight Man
The Midnight Man is an elusive entity that can be summoned by playing the Midnight Game. Many people fear the Midnight Game and it is said to be one of the more dangerous paranormal games to play. Fail to hide from the Midnight Man during gameplay and you could pay the ultimate price, your life!

How to Play the Midnight Game
To play this game you will need to gather a few basic supplies. These include a candle, pin, lighter/matches, piece of paper, writing implement, salt and find an appropriate wooden door.
Step 1:
Gather all of your supplies and get ready to play the game. You will need to begin just before midnight.

Step 2:
Write your full name upon your piece of paper. This must include all given names such as your middle name. Use the pin to draw a drop of your own blood and place it upon the same paper. Now, proceed to turn off all lights within your house.
Step 3:
Head to the wooden door you have selected to play and put your piece of paper down on the floor in front of the door. Light your candle and place the burning candle on top of the paper.

Step 4:
You must time this next step carefully. Close the door and proceed to knock upon it 22 times in a row, making sure to deliver the final knock at precisely midnight. You must now open the door and immediately blow out the candle. Now, close the door and relight your candle.
Step 5:
If you have followed these steps correctly, you should have now successfully invited the Midnight Man into your home. Your goal now is to avoid running into the Midnight Man. Ensure you keep your lit candle, salt and matches/lighter on your person throughout this entire game.
Step 6:
You must begin to walk quietly around your house holding onto your lit flame. This candle must remain your only source of light. Make sure not to stay in any one place for too long as this increases your chances of being captured by the Midnight Man. If at any time during the game your candle is blown out, you must immediately relight it within 10 seconds. Continue this step until 3.33 am. If you fail to relight your candle, you must immediately surround yourself with a circle of salt and remain in the protected space until the end of the game.

Step 7:
3.33 am marks the end of the game. At this time you may stop walking around your home or exit your salt circle. It is advised that you also turn on all lights within your home. But, remain vigilant as the Midnight Man may not have left your house.

Anyone can play this one. Don’t be scared, it likely is not real. The game was probably invented and passed around through internet to invoke fear in young people. It likely holds no real danger to anyone. I played it and I was fine.

This is a paranormal game largely based on legend, so there is no definitive proof that it is real or poses any harm. If you are scared though or it makes you feel uncomfortable, then best not to play.

What Exactly Happens If You Exit Your Home After The Midnight Man Is Invited?

The tales aren’t clear, but in any case I would take this game with a grain of salt. There are no known, confirmed cases of anyone being harmed playing this game. Mind you though, you should always be careful when using candles as the risk of fire or injury with candles is definitely real.

Take the game with a grain of salt. I don’t believe there have been any instances where a paranormal game has caused physical harm to anybody.

I played the game and I think I got caught. I could feel cold air on my feet and breath, I tryed to run and every mirror i looked in I could see him looking right back at me, i poured one entire salt shaker on the floors of my house: I have been having nightmares of my worst fears ever since. Hallucinations havent been getting any better, honestly, DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME OR ELSE you will end up like me, every night, NIGHTMARES, HALLUCINATIONS, ALL OF YOUR WORST FEARS. K! BYEEEEEE
