This is a very clever [advertising campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darkest-campaign-yet) for 13th Street Suspense Channel. A bar in Hamburg, Germany installed a bloody crime scene in the bathroom that can only be seen with a special black light. When a person enters the bathroom, the regular lights are turned off and replaced by the black light.

All of a sudden the messy crime scene can be seen all over the floor and walls and the message "See what others don't see. 13TH STREET. The [Action and Suspense Channel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-suspicion)" becomes visible. Very clever promotion.
