I recently had a dream that reminded me of the “Midnight man” / “Midnight game” from a couple of years back. If you don’t remember, maybe this will jog your memory. 

HOW TO PLAY

*Items needed: -Something to keep accurate time

-Your own blood (From a pin prick to the index finger, for example)

- A piece of paper

-A pen

-A single candle that is comfortable to carry around and has a burn time of at least 3 and a half hours and something to light it with

-A can of sea salt

-Front door (must be wooden)

Instructions: As the name implies, players must start the game at exactly midnight (Give or take a minute or two for preparation) but cannot end it until 3:33AM.

First, go around your home and turn out every single light until you are completely enveloped in darkness.

Take the pen and write your full name clearly on the piece of paper, then prick your finger and add a drop or two of your own blood.

Put the piece of paper on the floor before the front door of your home, light your candle and set it down in the middle of the paper.

You will need to time the next step perfectly- knock on the door 22 times consecutively.

Open the door to allow the midnight man to enter your home, extinguish the candle flame and shut the door. Now that the midnight man is in your home, you must quickly relight your candle as it serves as not only a small amount of light to help you walk around your pitch black abode, but as an indicator that the midnight man is near.If the flame goes out, this is a warning that your guest is close by. 

From midnight to exactly 3:30AM you must steer clear of the midnight man and keep relighting your candle whenever it goes out. If at any point you cannot relight, you must pour a protective circle of salt around yourself making sure there are no breaks in the circle. You must stay within the circle until the game is over. If you manage to light the candle, keep moving and do not remain static no matter how afraid you are.

Failure to light your candle or form a complete protective salt circle will allow the midnight man to meddle in your mind and know your weaknesses and fears which he will project into reality in the form of horrific hallucinations that will not cease until the challenge is over.

Remember, keep your candle lit and do not attempt to use a substitute item to illuminate your path, have your salt at the ready and KEEP MOVING.
People who have played the game have experienced drops in temperature before their candle light was extinguished, the sound of whispering and the sensation that someone was behind or beside them. Many report seeing shadow people, looming dark silhouettes and figure standing in hallways and behind them in reflections.
