A strange piece of footage circulating online shows a nightmarish mystery creature that resembles some kind of horrifying cross between a rat and worm. The jaw-dropping video was taken by a British woman named Bex Deen who was aghast when she noticed the oddity seemingly slithering around on her backyard porch. She subsequently posted the footage online in the hopes that someone could identify the weird creature.
For those who may be understandably afraid to watch the unsettling video, the footage shows a strange creature that appears to be about five inches long and sports a tail which is nearly the same length. As Deen looks on in horror, wondering what the monstrous thing may be, the little beast proceeds to slither along the sideboards of her porch in an undulating fashion that is both riveting and repulsive at the same time. Remarkably, rather than whack the creature with a rolled up newspaper, she reportedly decided to let it live, saying "I let him slither off to join his alien friends wherever they may be."
There you go, the secret’s out. These will be the rage in San Francisco.
LOL!
I am so sorry, Yaelle :-)
Why. Why. Why did you share this. Why did I go look. Now I am creeped out possibly permanently and I am imagining these things on my porch.
><><
Or, as my 10 year old son told his 8 year old sister who was afraid something was in her closet:
“Don’t worry, that thing won’t come out as long as you’re awake”.
Looks like a land eel.
Do you have a dog?
Don’t search YouTube for “mango worms”
Rufus!
I don’t have a dog but I do have mangoes on my shopping list. Maybebetter strike them.
Ha!
The worm is unrelated to the fruit.
some kind of larva, I’ve seen similar, sans tail. Caterpillar of some sort. Also, we dont have an idea of scale, that thing doesnt look that big.
Back onto the list
Chucky Schummer without his disguise?
According to the article, the body is approximately five inches long. That's a BIG bug in my book.
Just add the drooping spectacles, and you'd have a perfect match!
I gave him a swat on the butt for that one.
Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
But...But....look at the pretty little ‘not-bee’ that it turns into!
Fake news, from the looks of it, it could be maybe 1 or 2 inches. I have seen caterpillars 3 inches long or more.
I don’t know if I want to see the 7 inch wide bee it turns into!
