The Ever-Burning Light Bulb

In a fire station in California, there is a light bulb that is always on and has never, ever burned out. If you read numbers 16:41-45 from a King James Bible (other versions don't work) in the same room as this light bulb, it will dim significantly. If you keep reading until Numbers 16:48, the light bulb goes back to its original brightness.

The trick is, if you hesitate too long while the light is dim, you start seeing a weird light show in front of your eyes; it is most similar to what happens when you rub your eyes for a long time while they are closed.

If you wait for longer still, the light show starts forming patterns, like circles and triangles. Still longer, and the light show starts to form words. The people that have read these words are reluctant to talk about it, but are often obsessed with the year 2112 and are very interested in what countries are producing biological weapons...

  3. The lightbulb is real, it's in a fire station in Livermore California, and I happen to live a block away from the fire station. I could actually try this as I work for the city and could get in for at least an hour. But this one was really bad, so no haha

  4. Hey, try it without hesitating. At least then we'll know if it works. LOL There won't be any harm to you as long as you don't hesitate.

    1. Hell, I'd try it. In fact, I've been wanting to get a group of friends together and try everything on here, such as The 50's Restaurant, The Abandoned Vending Machine, even The Elevator Incident. It'd be a bit costly, but it'd still be fun!

  7. I just looked up Numbers 16:41-45. It has no relevance to a light, lightbulb, or really anything to do with this story. It would have been really cool if you had a assage that was relevant, but sadly, this one isn't.

    1.5/5

  9. To all the people saying that it was 2012... You're wrong. The words that formed were Rush lyrics.
