User blog:BrokenxTears/Have you ever clicked on a nonexistent ad

(I don't know how making a creepypasta here works. I've been having trouble for about a week so I hope I'm doing it right.)

It was a Friday night on November 27th, 2020; I was casually lurking on the Roblox website, which is what I normally do when there's nothing to spare time on. I've navigated from the home page to the catalog and the development page. But what I've noticed was the same top advert every time I went to a different Roblox page. Refreshing a couple of times, the advertisement never changed. It remained there as many times as I've refreshed. I immediately felt concerned about whether it is a bug or the person who displayed the advert wanted to make extra profit. The advert consisted of a 1.0 Roblox girl who looked like a schoolgirl with cat ears and a pink background behind it. No text was in it, which isn't something that I see occasionally. It seemed innocent though. So why am I concerned about it? Since my curiosity grew, I decided that I clicked on it because hey, what could be fishy about an advert? What was unusual however is that it never took me to any game nor group, but instead, downloaded a file onto my computer. I suddenly froze when I noticed, yet still worried about why it would download something straight out of an ad. Did I accidentally save the image? I would click the down arrow of the download and click on "Show in folder" to see where it would lead me to. The file name would show up as "2390133726605.mov". Noticing the type of file it was, it was a video that ended up on my computer. I clicked on it to see if it would play on my screen. The video would somehow force itself into full-screen mode, causing an inability to exit out from it. This was where my adrenaline built up. The video was a minute long. It first shows the capture of a bedroom with a creepy family portrait against the wall and the bedroom door being creaked open slightly. I looked closer into the picture just to see how none of the family members had faces. This segment would go on for about 50 seconds. Up until the 50-second mark showed a figure that peaked through the crack of the open door, which I happened to notice was the same girl that was in the advert that I clicked on. Background music came on at the start of the video which sounded a lot like an old jazz song that I couldn't recognize. But I did acknowledge that it was playing in reverse. Sounded cryptic if you ask me. The girl between the crack of the door would remain standing coming to the end of the video. At 0:59 was when the video started to distort. The figure popped up closer to the camera with one eye open that took up her whole face. The video finished, which made my computer battery drop to 0%, force shutting down on its own. I felt nothing. No words nor sounds forming from my mouth. I even began to develop shortness of breath right after. I plugged in the charger and turned back on my computer to see if anything else had happened. Nothing changed. I went to search back for the video and see if it was still in my file explorer. No sight of it being there anymore. Am I losing it? Was this some sort of sick prank? Because it wasn't a funny one; It only led to my paranoia growing worse. Taking myself back to the Roblox website, everything was normal as well. I tried searching more through the site if there were any signs of the advert still being around. This of course took a while.

I thought I could contact Roblox about it and see if the advertisement is still published. I emailed them along with proof. I got a reply back a few days later from one of the workers informing me that they never received any advertisement like that in their system. Apparently, the advert never existed before. I didn't want to budge with clicking on anything anymore. This all seemed to be part of a hallucination.

The cause behind this incident remains unknown.
