Clockman
A piece of missing media you consumed when you were very young, was extremely memorable and has left a lasting impression on you, but you cannot find it now no matter how much googling and asking people you do. You've tried for literally years and years, if not decades, to find this media, but you've not been able to find it at all.
The name of this phenomenon is inspired from one of the most high-profile searches for lost media throughout many years in the 2010s, when a man on a forum posted that for 28 years, he'd been looking for a short film, the "Clockman", he'd seen when he was 4 that he found to be extremely scary but had never been able to find or see again since. The search for the Clockman film gained traction and soon had hundreds, if not thousands, searching for it. After many years of searching and hundreds of dead leads, the film was finally found in late 2017.

"This story of two kids going really far underground I read when I was 5... I've never forgotten it, I've been looking for it for 20 years, I've never found it. It's my Clockman.
