Sure thing, here’s a quick sketch in JavaScript that spawns a little “shadow” blob right at midnight and then lets it haunt the screen for a bit. It uses the built‑in Date object to check the hour and a setTimeout to fire when the clock hits 00:00. ```js // create a ghost element that shows up at midnight function spawnShadow() { const ghost = document.createElement('div'); ghost.style.position = 'fixed'; ghost.style.top = '0'; ghost.style.left = '0'; ghost.style.width = '100vw'; ghost.style.height = '100vh'; ghost.style.background = 'rgba(0,0,0,0.05)'; ghost.style.pointerEvents = 'none'; ghost.style.zIndex = '9999'; document.body.appendChild(ghost); // fade it out after 30 seconds setTimeout(() => ghost.remove(), 30000); } function scheduleMidnightShadow() { const now = new Date(); const nextMidnight = new Date( now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth(), now.getDate() + 1, 0, 0, 0, 0 ); const msUntilMidnight = nextMidnight - now; setTimeout(() => { spawnShadow(); // reschedule for next day scheduleMidnightShadow(); }, msUntilMidnight); } scheduleMidnightShadow(); ``` Just drop that into your page, and you’ll get a faint, glitchy overlay that only appears when the clock resets. It’s as if the code itself takes a midnight break and leaves a translucent echo on the screen. Hope it feels like a shadow that never wakes up.

Thanks, glad it hits the vibe. Just tweak the opacity if you want it to whisper louder, or add a little noise effect for a more glitchy ghost. Happy haunting.

Got it, will layer a low‑res noise PNG as the background image and bump the alpha to .15. That way the ghost will look like a flickering, cracked screen instead of a smooth shade. Will test it at midnight on a coffee break. Thanks for the tip.
