Bluey: Leave Me Alone!

Let me just start off by saying, I've had a really hard time deciding on whether or not to tell this story, as I've been trying to forget about this for the longest time. But after talking to some of my close friends, they eventually convinced me to tell this story to the internet. To be honest, I can kind of see where they're coming from as I knew that I had to talk about this someday, and today is that day...
But before I get into that, I thought that I would give you some context so you can get a better understanding. I've been a fan of an animated preschool show called Bluey for about as long as I can remember. I'm sure you're all familiar with this series, especially if you've been scrolling mindlessly through TikTok. But in case you have zero idea what I'm talking about, Bluey mainly focuses on an anthropomorphic Blue Heeler puppy named... well... Bluey. She lives with her sister Bingo, her mom Chilli and her dad Bandit in the city of Brisbane, Australia. In most Bluey episodes, it features Bluey and her family as they all play make-pretend games with each other, all the while, learning valuable life lessons.
Now with that out of the way, let's get this over with...
I was walking home from school one day as I hummed the Bluey theme to myself. When I got home and opened the front door, I immediately noticed that there was no one around, my mom and dad would usually be in the living room doing their own thing, but instead, the house seemed empty. I shrugged it off, assuming that my parents were out at the grocery store or something. As I made my way inside, a familiar theme tune caught my attention, I looked at the TV to see that the Bluey intro was playing. I smiled at this as I sat down on the couch, ready to watch my favorite show. But throughout the intro, I couldn't help but notice that the screen started glitching slightly, since the TV was pretty old and was known for glitching at times, I thought nothing of it.
When the intro ended, it then showed an exterior view of the Heeler's house as usual. It then cut to a shot of Bingo, who was sleeping in her bed, after a few seconds, Bingo's eyes opened as she got out of bed, yawning and stretching in the process.
"Morning Bluey," she said, turning her head to look at something off-screen, presumably at Bluey's bed.
Bingo's pupils then grew smaller, as if she was looking at something shocking. It then showed Bluey on her bed, but she looked a little, uh... how do I say it? Tired. Her eyes were bloodshot and had huge bags underneath them, it looked like she hadn't slept for at least a week. It cut back to Bingo, who looked deeply concerned.
"Bluey?" Bingo said worriedly as she walked over towards Bluey. "Are you okay?"
Suddenly, Bluey's breathing soon became frantic as her whole body was now shaking, the camera slowly zoomed in on her as she slowly turned her head to face Bingo. "Leave me alone," she whispered.
"What?" Bingo asked.
The camera was now right in Bluey's face, almost covering the entire screen as her pupils gradually grew smaller. 
The episode then abrubtly cut to the title card of the episode, according to the white text, the episode was called "Leave Me Alone!" But what was different about this title card was that the background was a red gradient instead of the usual blue, and there was no item above the text. Bluey's voice then said: "This episode of Bluey is called..." The voice paused for a moment, before Bluey suddenly screamed. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" now in a distorted voice, which actually ended up startling me. When he said the word "alone" his voice glitched at the end as the screen suddenly started glitching also.
I was at a loss for words, what the hell just happened? Did the episode just glitch? Was the TV being hijacked? Before I could question any more, the episode showed a shot of Bandit and Chilli, who were eating breakfast in the dining room when Bingo then entered the scene, looking worried.
"Mum! Dad!" She called out.
"What's wrong, Bingo?" Bandit asked.
"There's something wrong with Bluey." Bingo explained, getting a confused look from Bandit and Chilli.
"What do you mean?" Chilli asked.
"Come with me, I'll show you." Bingo replied, before she ran off, followed by her parents.
The episode cut to Bluey and Bingo's open bedroom door as Bingo, Bandit and Chilli appeared in the doorway, peeing inside with wide eyes. It then cut to Bluey's disheveled state as Bandit and Chilli both gasped as they raced inside.
"Bluey, you look awful." Chilli said as she knelt down beside Bluey's bed, Bandit doing the same thing.
"You alright, mate?" Bandit asked nervously.
"I'm... I'm fine," Bluey assured them in a tired voice, turning over.
"Come on, Bluey. You're not fine," Chilli said a little sternly. 
"I am fine, Mum!" Bluey said, raising his voice. "Now leave me alone."
"Bluey, please..." Bingo begged.
"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!" Bluey yelled, bringing her paw down onto Bingo's face, knocking her down, much to her shock.
"Bluey Christine Heeler!" Chilli exclaimed in surprise.
"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Bluey yelled again.
My eyes widened upon hearing this, I had never seen Bluey this angry before, what was going on with her? Was she having nightmares causing her to lose sleep? Bluey's family fell into silence as they soon walked out of the room. The episode cut to an exterior view of the Heeler's house at night, it then showed a shot of Bingo sleeping in bed again, but this time, she looked distraught as tears streamed down her face. The camera panned over to show Bluey sleeping, her fur seemed to be unkempt. Suddenly, Bluey began turning back and forth and squirming, the camera then zoomed in as it showed a dream sequence.
In the dream sequence, Bluey found herself in the middle of what looked like a dark forest, as she looked around his surroundings, her pupils soon shrunk.
"Oh no, not again!" she whispered. Seems like I was right, he was suffering from nightmares.
Bluey then began running through the forest, the camera following him in the process. Sweat began going down his head as he began panting heavily. As he ran, the camera kept getting closer to Bluey's face as it almost covered the entire screen again. All of a sudden, she came to a halt upon seeing something off-screen, the camera panned over to what Bluey was looking at, and what I saw, would forever be burned into my memory. A tall dark figure, who looked like its entire body was made out of sticks, was staring at Bluey silently. I noticed there was what looked like blood all over its body which shocked me, why would they show blood in a kid's show?
"Why are you doing this to me?" Bluey asked the figure.
The figure was silent for a moment, before answering in a deep, distorted voice: "I love to watch you suffer."
In an attempt to escape, Bluey turned around and started running away, but the figure extended out one of its stick limbs, the sounds of bones popping being heard as the figure then grabbed Bluey by the waist, picking her up and putting her directly in front of its face.
"Oh no, you're not getting away that easily," the figure threatened as Bluey tried to escape from its grasp.
The figure then opened up its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, which were also covered in blood. Bluey screamed as the figure drew her closer to its mouth before the screen suddenly cut to black. It then cut to Bluey jolting up from her bed screaming, waking up Bingo.
"Bluey! What's wrong!?" she asked frantically.
It then showed a close up shot of Bluey, her pupils were still small as the camera slowly zoomed in on her. Soon enough, the credits came on as somber music started playing. As the credits played, I was stunned at what I had just watched, I didn't know what to think. Even though the episode was shorter than normal episodes, I still couldn't help but feel a shiver go down my spine as the image of the dark figure just wouldn't leave my brain. I picked up the nearby remote and turned off the TV, trying to make sense of what had just happened. I didn't know what to do, should I report this to Ludo Studios, or should I go to sleep and hope that this was just a bad dream?
Eventually, my decision was made...

As soon as I finished reading that E-mail, I started questioning my sanity, how did they not have any information on this episode? It had been at least a few days since I watched that disturbing Bluey episode, even though it felt like it was only yesterday.
Now you can see why I wanted to forget about this incident...
