Firstly, I have no freaking idea if this can even be found. It's so obscure, I often wonder if I and my mother are the only two people who have ever seen it. I also have no idea if it was local or national. I don't know if it was a legit ad or a hack of some sort but this has haunted me for literal years. Whenever I see lost media content on the internet, I always come back to this scary commercial from my childhood. I don't remember what year it was but when I was a kid, my mother and I were watching TVLand, which is a TV channel that plays reruns of really old shows (I was raised by a a baby boomer 😂). This was in Washington state, for context. During an episode of the old show "Green Acres"(pretty sure this was the show although I sometimes suspect Beverly Hillbillies as well), during a mostly normal commercial break, there was an ad that came on. It displayed scenery images like lakes, rivers, mountains, etc. I believe there were birds singing as well and sound effects like the sound of water. Just ambiance, mostly but at the end, a woman popped up on the screen and from my memory, her hair was standing on end like in a cartoon and she let out this out an ear piercing scream and the ad ended and went back to normal commercials. There was never any context or explanation and it never aired again. This was my first experience with a jump scare and it was traumatizing. I have done pretty heavy research into it and dug as deeply as I feel possible. It wasn't that ad with the car that scared everyone else in the 2000s and is everywhere, that I'm sure of. The closest I've gotten to finding anything similar is when I discovered through a random YouTube video that the infamous car ad was actually for a coffee company from some country somewhere that has made similar ads to the car one. So I watched all of those ads and the one I'm looking for was not there but the vibe is similar. Seemingly innocent ad ends with scary jump scare. It would sound to anyone else I've simply gotten it confused with the car one or something else but I know I haven't. The fact that it aired on TVLand of all channels. Of course it couldn't air on Cartoon Network or Nickelodean or all the channels everyone my age watched in the 2000s. Who else would be watching Green Acres reruns in the middle of the night? Thank God my mom was there and remembers it, too or I'd think I was crazy or I dreamt it. I guess my hope is that somehow it may have aired somewhere else, too or on another channel and that it was maybe recorded but never uploaded to the internet or at the very least, someone else experienced and can validate my memory further. But I have a lot of doubts. I figured if anyone can find it or figure out what it was, it'd be someone on this forum. I don't have much experience looking for lost media, just watching videos about it.
Edit: Okay y'all its been a few months. I want to edit this because I have been accused of faking this by a few people. I understand that completely. I didn't even realize how sus I would look back in February as a new member. I unfortunately have no updates on the matter but I want to leave a little note here about the accusations for anyone who might find this later. As LSuperSonicQ mentioned, I have been in direct communication with him on twitter and commented on his YouTube video about featuring my post. I am "mskittenlover12" on YouTube. I actually did find this forum through LSuperSonicQ. I just procrastinated sharing my story because I get anxiety about this kinda stuff for some reason and I wasn't sure anyone would be interested. I'm surprised at how much attention this has received over the last few months. I'm still interested in any information anyone has and I will come back to check this thread periodically. I'm not confident in ever locating it but you never know. As someone said in the thread, don't rule out other channels and expand the search if necessary. I'm still VERY interested in this and swear on my mother's life it is 100% legit. I wish I could prove it but if I could, I wouldn't be here. This truly has been a plague on my life for years. I wanna thank LSuperSonicQ for having faith in my story and bringing more attention to it. Maybe there's hope yet. ❤
