That last post it looked like it was no more than 120V and rigged to give you a blast and short out across the knob giving a big flash and bang.
When I was younger we actually got our hands on an old 10,000 volt oil burner ignition transformer, and a pile of firecrackers. Basically all we did was set the transformer up out of view with a fire cracker across the secondary terminals and connect it to the switch controlled outlet at the side of the house. Wait until someone walks near the "device", close the switch momentarily and and BANG! Not only did it make all my buddies that came around jump about 10 feet straight up, it stopped the problem with door to door sales people as well.
