Little MDZS AU I have been working on

A little context:

When I was little I hated any horror media and couldn't even get close to it out of fear. I hated the feeling of being scared and couldn't sleep afterwards. But when I got my first laptop I was able to have more courage to watch horror media in the form of analysis or just narration. I started with the classic creepypasta story videos, and then I started watching analyses of scary videos on the internet and was introduced to ARGs.

I think that at that time I was starting to deal better with horror media. That is until I saw a video on YouTube. I don't think it was the scary video itself, but rather an analysis of it. For example, it was similar to channels like Night Mind, Nexpo, Scare Theater, etc. At one point the narrator shows the clip of the original video, and the scene made me, as a child, feel a genuine sense of fear and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I was little at the time so maybe I was scared beyond what I should have been. After that, I was wary of checking out horror stuff for a while. Nowadays, I love horror, scary videos, and ARGs again, but I tried to search and find this video again, but I couldn't find it. Maybe I went through it but couldn't find the scene that traumatized me. I'll try to tell you everything I remember about the video.

I'm almost certain that the series of videos from which this clip came began with a text from someone saying that they found these videos on the computer of a friend who I think had passed away, and the videos that followed showed the friend going crazy.

The scene that traumatized me was the following: A ventriloquism dummy, I believe it was kind of broken, and someone was speaking with very poor quality audio. I don't remember what the dummy was saying. The dummy was on a chroma key, but it was very poorly done. I don't remember what was on the chroma key, I think it was some kind of nature scene, like forests or lakes. I tried to make an image of how I remembered the video using Photoshop and using NTSC for the analog effect.

Now I can't remember if they were just videos or if there was also an ARG.

I don't remember any other scenes from the video series.

Unfortunately, I also don't remember who the person analyzing the video was.

It ended up being really hard to find the video because there are a lot of horror video series on YouTube that start with the premise of "I found the videos/tapes of a deceased friend", and searching for the doll scene itself also led to nothing like that.

I had first posted this on reddit, but I'm also going to post it here because I'm going crazy trying to find this video.
