Horror video shows massive spider dropping onto sleeping baby

What would you do if you saw this on your baby’s monitor? One mum rightfully took matters into her own hands.

Chilling footage shows the terrifying moment a huge spider dropped onto a sleeping baby.

Emily Stewart, of Bradley, Illinois, captured the ordeal from the baby monitor while her daughter Kyla was asleep in her cot, The Sun reports.

The eight-legged creature wiggles across the lens of the camera before dropping down.

Its huge shadow can be seen on the lens before it makes the plunge.

The spider then appears to land near the toddler’s face.

Emily uploaded the footage to TikTok on January 4 and it has been viewed more than 1 million times.

One person on Facebook wrote: “On the next video. Dat toddler becomes Spider-Man.”

A terrified user commented: “Nightmare, I can’t stand spiders or any creepy crawlies – ugh.”

While, another said: “Totally creeped me out!”

Meanwhile others called on the parent to save her daughter.

TikTokers were baffled that the spider chose to drop onto the toddler when it had the entire room to spin a web.

The mum later revealed that the creature left her daughter alone and it crawled back up to the camera.

She said: “Baby is ok! She was not bitten. The spider came back up a minute later and I killed it in the morning after I saw the video.”
