Weird bug scares Animal Crossing: New Horizons player with a haunting jump scare in the museum

According to the Reddit user, lili-grace, they saw a scary sequence in ACNH recently while playing the evergreen title on their Switch console. They shared a very brief clip of encountering their friend. Basically, they decided to open their island in order to spend some time with their friend at Brewster’s cafe in Blathers’ museum.

As you can see, the player enters from the lower right side of the museum, in front of the Blathers. Just when everything appears to be normal, the friend pops up suddenly, without moving, and occupies a large portion of the screen as well.

However, the biggest scary moment was when their friend vanished as soon as they appeared. This jump scare really added even more creepiness to the entire situation. It’s seriously a weird and nightmarish bug to witness inside Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
