A narrow hallway, at the very back in front of the wall sits a black creature.
Two tiny eyes stare straight ahead into the camera.
This is how the “scary video” begins, which can be seen

The next moment the eerie creature stands up and takes long strides toward the audience.
The strange thing is: from a distance, its stature and gait appear like that of a cat.
And the eyes and the bushy tail could also come from a velvet paw.
However, during the elegant "catwalk" the animal's contours blur so much that for a few seconds only a jet-black head with funny round eyes can be seen.
Only when the creature gets closer does the enigmatic image dissolve.
It turns out: The mysterious cat is actually a dog that has glued-on cartoon eyes on its face.
