Photo of an active Washing Machine.
Washing Machines are hostile entities which resemble Washing Machines of the Frontrooms. When disturbed, these entities will spring into motion, pulled along by wires and cables that pierce into walls and heave the entity towards any living beings in their vicinity. The hatches of the Washing Machine will swing open, revealing a cognito-hazardous swirling chaos that deals severe damage to the mind of anyone who observes it for any amount of time.
Description
As has been previously stated, what lies within the "gaping maw" of the Washing Machines can hardly be described, though a few who remained sane enough after witnessing it have tried. According to them, the inside is like watery, distorted vision; some amalgamation of distorted matter and wave like ripples that echo on like an endless tunnel which leads to another horrifying location deep within the Backrooms.
Wanderers who observe the insides of a Washing Machine will often begin to wander closer to the machine and allow themselves to be "sucked into" the distorted matter within. From the perspective of someone else viewing this event, the wanderer will silently enter the maw and be visually scattered and dispersed into the amorphous slurry swirling within the machine as the hatch snaps shut. After a moment, the Washing Machine will become absent of the residue within as though it is has been flushed away, and on the other side of the glass, there will be the wanderer who was sucked in, apparently transported to another location within the Backrooms. After this point, the hatch will not be able to open.
Those who have actually survived being flushed by a Washing Machine will describe the experience as beginning with a feeling of heavy pressure, nausea and fatigue that instantly sets in the moment you observe the swirling chaos inside the Washing Machines. Despite feeling an impending sense of dread, looking away from the swirling chaos will be incredibly difficult if not impossible. However, instead of walking themselves into the gaping maw, those who have been sucked in report it as appearing as though the other room inside the Washing Machine began to "reach out" towards them and envelope them until suddenly they felt a strong, ejecting force that yanked them through and spat them out into said room.
Individuals who have observed the insides of a Washing Machine will temporarily be unable to view the facial features of any individuals or be able to decipher what they are saying when they speak, and will remain in a state of mild to severe dizziness for a period between 1 and 3 hours after the event They will also be unable to perceive doors or text of any fashion, viewing all of these as nauseating swirls and distortions until the effect dissipates. This can make assisting a traveler difficult even if they are somehow pulled away from a Washing Machine before being devoured.
