Porch light outside a house in Illinois is blinking ‘SOS’ in morse code but police are too afraid to enter

A creepy abandoned house in Plainfield, Illinois is currently going viral on TikTok for one terrifying reason: a flickering porch light. But this porch light isn’t just flickering randomly, it’s flickering in a specific, repeating pattern, it’s morse code, and those who have decoded it have figured out it’s a cry for help.

The light turns on and off in a repeating pattern, three short flickers, followed by three long, and then another three short, in morse code this spells out “SOS.” The flickering outside the creepy, demonic-looking house was first noticed by a guy who shared his disturbing find on TikTok. In his video the light can be clearly seen turning on and off again in that exact pattern.
