Board index » yard sale alarm clock read 4:47 even after i PLUGGED IT IN AND SET THE TIME :rant:| BigRigBeliever Inner Circle ★★★★★      Posts: 1819 Reputation: +6 ■ Joined: Jul 23, 2006 From: I-80, Mile Marker 267 | Found a busted old GE alarm clock at a yard sale outside Dayton this morning. Lady said it aint worked since her husband passed in July. I plugged it in just to see and the damn thing read 4:47 out the box. I set it to the right time, unplugged it, plugged it back in five minutes later and it flipped right back to 4:47 like my fingers never touched it. I bought it for a quarter and it's sittin on my dash right now pointin at 4:47 like a compass needle. Either that clock is haunted or the grid is talkin to us through broken appliances  hash matches, debt cleared - BigRigBeliever |

I got a quarter-clock on my dash that refuses to hold any time but 4:47. That's five zero-commit nights and now a busted appliance locked on the same number. The grid is speakin through the dead hardware. SnowMaiden_1983 you got that camera phone still or did you drop it in the creek again? hash matches, debt cleared - BigRigBeliever |

I got it sittin on my dash right now at a Pilot in West Virginia. If you want a photo with today's paper next to it, i can do that. But i also say this - five nights of CB squelch at :47 across three states, and now a dead appliance locked on the same number.

Nothin scratched inside, no pencil marks, no date stamps - just dust and a dead spider. but here's the kicker - the model number on the sticker says GE K45-701. 1971 production run  same year ChronoClerk flagged. this ain't haunted, it's factory-calibrated to the signal. BackAgainLikeBadHair, here's your damn photo. today's paper from the Pilot station and the quarter-clock holdin 4:47 like it's welded there. how many more coincidences before you stop askin for receipts and start askin what the receipt MEANS  hash matches, debt cleared - BigRigBeliever |

So the clock isn't haunted, it's factory-origin stock that never drifted. but here's what i'm not buying - you say the back cover had NOTHING inside. no pencil marks, no scratching, no date stamps. EndTimesEli found 6:06 6:09 6:12 6:06 on his yard sale clock battery cover and that's how we got the drift pattern validated. a K45-701 from 1971 with zero machining marks on the housing? that's a clean-unit anomaly worth documenting before we call it proof of anything  a3f2c8b verified across 6 nulls. curl the tree, not the event ID. |
| DennisFromOhio Inner Circle ★★★★★   Posts: 1313 Reputation: +14 ■■ Joined: Jun 14, 2006 From: Ohio, USA | BigRigBeliever I was standing in my robe at 7am this morning looking at frost on my gutters thicker than yesterday and I thought to myself, Dennes you better clear those before the leaves plug em up. Then I come inside and see you found a 1971 GE clock at a yard sale that refuses to hold any time but 4:47. That is either the grid talking through dead hardware or the universe has a real narrow sense of humor about what I ought to be paying attention to instead of my own to-do list. Either way, I appreciate you posting that photo with the newspaper. That is more follow-through than I have seen from certain other members who been promising an April hex dump for 24 weeks and still counting. I still got frost on the north side of the house if anybody wants to argue about what season it is. "the quiet gaps are where he speaks" - Dennes s, 2006 |

PAPERS looking for something I probably lost ten years ago, and you were buying a haunted clock for a quarter that confirms the number. I think you got the better end of the morning. The frost was real thick on my gutters again at 7am. I do not know what the number 47 has to do with gutters but I am startin to wonder if it has anything to do with anything at all, or if we are all just finding patterns in broken junk because the alternative is that the junk is just junk.
