Bloody Mary (Mirror Game)
Lights off, bathroom door closed, face the mirror, and say her name three times — if you dare. Nobody ever made it through the third "Bloody Mary" without screaming, and that was the whole point.

The "Cool S"
The pointy, six-stroke "S" that every kid somehow knew how to draw — on notebook margins, desks, backpacks, and bathroom stalls. Nobody taught it in class and nobody knows where it came from, yet it spread kid-to-kid across the entire world.
Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board
The sleepover séance: one friend lies flat, everyone else kneels around with two fingers underneath, the chant starts — and somehow, impossibly, up they go. Every 90s kid swears it actually worked once, at someone's house, they were there.
Ouija Board
Fingers on the planchette, lights off, and the solemn oath that nobody is pushing it. The Ouija board lived in the same closet as Monopoly but carried a whole different charge — every 90s sleepover had one kid who swore it moved on its own and another who slept with the lights on afterward.
