Pyro's Face

This happened just before the Halloween update for TF2. I was playing around a CTF map as Pyro when I heard some random sounds from it. The server was empty (I should know, I made it), and thought nothing of it. Then I saw the text chat box pop up with the words: ‘Want to see my face?’ The person who wrote it didn’t have a name. Of course I thought it was a bug and I went to report it.
The ‘report bug’ button was disabled.
The person wrote again: ‘Do you want to see my true face?’ I was confused and somewhat scared. I had no idea what was going on or who was contacting me so I wrote back: ‘Who are you?’
‘I’m the Pyro, silly woman.’ I started to freak out. There could be no way this person talking to me was the same character I was playing as…
‘I mean it. Who are you really?’ I started to move my character towards the intel, but he didn’t move. He wouldn’t even switch weapons.
‘I told you already… I’m the Pyro. And I refuse to play with you until I have my answer.’ I tried to disconnect, but the disconnect button was disabled.
‘Do you want to see my true face?’ Giving up, I wrote back: ‘Yes. Fine. Lemme see your face.’ Soon the loadout menu came up. The things I had equipped (Backburner, Flare Gun and Homewrecker) were gone and so was the taunt I had. The character model was facing away from me but it slowly turned away on its own. Pyro’s mask was gone and I saw his face: scarred… his nose was burnt off. There were only two holes were it should be. His left eye seemed to be lower than his right one. His lips and tongue were gone as well. He stared at me and I felt a chill go down my spine.
‘Do you like what you see?’ I tried to turn him around but it didn’t work. He kept staring towards me before I saw him grin creepily and jumped towards me.
The game crashed the moment he got his face close to the screen. I left the game alone until the Halloween update was done, but I’ve never played as Pryo again.
