TikTok Baby Blue trend: Know all about the dangerous trend

Chinese social video app TikTok has a new challenge that is rather spooky. Among its unique and sometimes fun trends, comes a new, dangerous challenge called the "Baby Blue Ritual".

Be careful before you read further. The trend could be fun for some but may be triggering for others, especially those who have experienced ghostly patterns, or maybe have lost a baby. This is because the Baby Blue Ritual involves an imaginary ‘ghostly baby’ in a bathroom.

What is Baby Blue Ritual on TikTok?

The Baby Blue Ritual, or Blue Baby Blue, is a TikTok legend about a game that is played in bathrooms. If you perform the Baby Blue Ritual, apparently a "wicked ghostly baby" will appear in your arms.

How is the Baby Blue Ritual Performed?

For the Baby Blue Ritual, a TikToker has to go into a bathroom, lock the door and turn off the lights. He or she then has to stare into the mirror, and hold their arms as if rocking a baby. Then, the TikToker has to chant "Baby Blue, Blue Baby" 13 times, without fumbling.

If you get it right, you may feel the weight of an invisible newborn in your arms. The baby will get 'heavier' as it grows bigger, and may scratch your arms.

In a sick imaginary ritual, you have to quickly take the imaginary ‘ghostly baby’ and flush it down the toilet, before it gets too big. You then leave the bathroom, and the Baby Blue Ritual is over.

If you don’t do the ritual fast, a woman will appear in the mirror of the bathroom and shout, “Give me back my baby”. She will break the mirror with her screams. If you don’t let go of the baby, she may harm you.

TikTokers have taken to the trend, performing the Baby Blue Ritual and claiming to have summoned ghosts, while some others have said that it’s just a fun and harmless game. The trend’s videos on TikTok have not revealed any "ghostly baby" or "woman in the mirror".
