Sarcone's Dynamic Muller-Lyer Optical Illusion: Though the collinear blue and red segments seem to oscillate up and down, they are always the same length. Nothing moves except the arrows at the endpoints of each color segments.

Is there an optical illusion in this? My dad thinks so but I just think he's being racist /s (really though, can you see it, right under "STES LIKE")

Help finding an Optical Illusion

Hello guys, I've searched all over the internet trying to find this Illusion but I can't find it, please can you help me? From what I remember, you could tell it was one of those htm websites to do the yellow website background and layout, it was set in a garage or some kind of semi-sheltered spare room and it one of those scary GIF illusions where it promised you if you looked closed you would spot the 'illusion', after a few minutes a blurry woman vampire with red fangs pops up at you then disappears again blurrily.

Thank you I really appreciate it.

PS. The Backstory (if your interested)

It was the autumn of '11 and me being my typical self was just chilling, doing what needed to be done. One day I had an appointment to go to a centre and so I went and while I was waiting I saw a book called '3D Illusions'. Fascinated I picked it up and read it and I was fascinated by all these Illusions and how they could trick your brain like that. And from then on I became obsessed with Optical Illusions.

Every day when I had the opportunity to I would look up Optical Illusions that would baffle my mind and I loved it, I only thought there was only a good side to optical illusions... I was wrong.

UNTIL... One day (coincidentally during night-time) I found the htm website (in the description above) and I explored categories then I came across the illusion I described above and it said 'If you look really REALLY closely you will find the Illusion' (or something along the lines of that). Determined to find it I stared and stared and stared... And NOTHING. I was like “surely I'm missing something” so I continued to look. Nothing... Nothing and then a spilt second I saw a blurry image come into play then BAM! The scary vampire came right in the middle of the gif and disappeared in an instant and I SCREAMED (It wasn't any normal scream, imagine a man screaming so loud but with a deep voice lol) OMFG It just caught me so badly it was facking undescribable, legit I jumped out of my chair and I was so shocked I was lying on the floor shitscared for my life OMG lol. lol, I was SO Scared that I had legit had to get someone to turn my laptop off for me and I could not look at the screen lol, had to remove the battery. (What made this quote-on-quote Optical Illusion so scary was that even the vampire face was TERRIFIYING and the speed it approached and disappeared from the screen was immense, the thing that got me the most is just I never expected any of this to happen, I always had a good opinion of optical illusions... until then)

In-fact that optical illusion scared me so bad that me (a grown man) had to sing himself to sleep every night losing several hours of sleep every night so I could get myself to sleep and I could not go upstairs in dark conditions by myself for two straight months (rofl) without being accompanied by someone.

And from that day I promised to never to look at optical illusions again... until now, 5 years later. Then I was scared, but when I look that it low this makes me laugh so much, I cri evry tiem. And I want to show every else about this as well it would be so funny ( Just one more thing, if you do find or think you have found it, please post an image of the supposed background, not the full scary illusion gif, lol I don't want to go through that same experience again :DDD XDXD)

Thank you so much. :)
