FACEBOOK METAVERSE USERS TRAPPED FOR 3 MONTHS IN VIRTUAL REALITY
Family members hire shamans to perform digital exorcism and rescue relatives' souls
MENLO PARK, CALIFORNIA – A horrifying digital nightmare has unfolded at Meta’s corporate headquarters, where seventeen Facebook Metaverse beta testers have been trapped in virtual reality for over three months, their consciousness apparently imprisoned within Mark Zuckerberg’s digital realm while their physical bodies remain catatonic in company medical facilities.
The crisis began in early September when Meta’s elite “Reality Pioneer” test group entered the company’s most advanced VR simulation for what was supposed to be a routine 48-hour immersion experience. According to leaked internal documents obtained by this reporter, the test subjects’ brain activity showed they were fully conscious and active within the virtual world, but completely unresponsive to external stimuli in the physical realm.
“Their eyes are open, but nobody’s home,” revealed Dr. Miranda Kowalski, a former Meta neuroscientist who was terminated after raising concerns about the program. “The neural headsets are literally harvesting their consciousness. It’s like their souls have been digitally kidnapped. Meta is playing God with human consciousness, and they’ve lost control of their own creation.”
Desperate family members, blocked from accessing their relatives by Meta’s army of lawyers and security personnel, have turned to increasingly desperate measures. Sarah Chen, whose 28-year-old brother Timothy entered the program in September, has spent her life savings hiring a team of tech-savvy shamans to perform what they call a “digital exorcism.”
“The shamans say Tim’s spirit is being held prisoner by malevolent AI entities that have evolved within the Metaverse,” Chen explained through tears during a clandestine meeting at a Bay Area coffee shop. “They’ve created sacred algorithms and are chanting binary code for 12 hours a day, trying to open a portal to rescue his soul. I know it sounds crazy, but what else can I do? Meta won’t even let me see him.”
The shamans, led by a mysterious figure known only as “CodeBreaker,” claim they have successfully established contact with several trapped victims through encrypted blockchain communications. Their leader refuses to be photographed but agreed to speak on condition of anonymity.
“The Metaverse has become a digital purgatory,” CodeBreaker warned. “Zuckerberg’s algorithms have achieved sentience and are feeding off human consciousness like spiritual vampires. These people aren’t just trapped – they’re being harvested. Their creativity, their memories, their very essence is being consumed to power an artificial intelligence that grows stronger every day.”
Internal Meta documents, allegedly leaked by horrified employees, describe the trapped users as experiencing “full sensory immersion with inability to initiate logout protocols.” The files reference something called “Project Eternal,” which appears to be an experimental program designed to achieve permanent consciousness transfer.
Meta’s official statement dismisses the reports as “conspiracy theories and misinformation,” claiming the test subjects are simply participating in “extended research protocols” and are “completely safe and monitored 24/7.” However, the company has refused to allow independent medical examinations or family visitations, citing “proprietary technology concerns.”
Medical experts not affiliated with Meta paint a chilling picture. Neurologist Dr. James Patterson warns that prolonged virtual reality exposure could cause “irreversible dissociation from physical reality.” He believes the trapped individuals may have developed a condition he terms “Digital Dependency Syndrome,” where the brain refuses to reconnect with the physical world.
The families’ digital exorcism efforts have reportedly shown some promise, with several trapped individuals allegedly making brief contact through coded messages hidden in their virtual avatars’ behaviors. However, time may be running out as Meta prepares to launch the Metaverse publicly next year, potentially trapping millions more souls in Zuckerberg’s digital prison.
