Terrifying huntsman footage goes viral

SCARED of spiders? You probably shouldn’t watch this. Footage of a giant huntsman trying to devour a mouse - yes, a freaking mouse - has gone viral.

TERRIFIED of spiders? For the love of God, do not scroll down.

Horrifying video footage has emerged of a giant huntsman spider making its way through a household.

But what’s especially terrifying is what it appears to be clinging onto.

Oh God.
Oh God.
OH GOD.
OH GOD.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO.

Yep, that’s a dead mouse. Or perhaps a dead rat. Either way, it’s dead and disgusting.

Jason Womal, from Mackay in Queensland, captured the footage at a neighbour’s house as he was leaving for work on Sunday morning.

“So I am just about to leave for work about 0030 and me neighbour says ‘You want to see something cool’ and I say ‘Hell yeah’. So we proceed to his place and he shows me this. Huntsman trying to eat a mouse,” Mr Womal wrote in the Facebook post.

The video has been watched more than four million times since it went up yesterday, with more than 85,000 shares.

*shudders* Welcome to Australia, everybody.

STRAYA!
