Not many of us are fans of spiders at the best of times, but what if one crawled into your bed while you were asleep and blissfully unaware?
That's what happened to one little girl named Kyla, whose mum only realised what had been visiting her daughter in the middle of the night after reviewing footage from her baby monitor.
Emily Stewart, from Bradley, Illinois, USA, recorded the baby monitor footage of the giant eight-legged creature and posted it to TikTok - much to the horror of the 3.2 million people who have viewed it so far.
In the clip, which was posted to Emily's account @emstewie17, the huge spider can be seen crawling across the lens of the camera before dangling down into Kyla's cot while she slept soundly.

Emily captioned the video: "Trigger warning! I think my life would have been better if I didn’t see this. Now I have to burn the house down."
The spider appeared to land near the baby's head, but the angle of the camera meant the monster disappeared from view - leaving viewers on TikTok concerned.
But the mum insisted her daughter was "okay", and said the spider came back up to the ceiling shortly after the footage stopped - and has since been squished.
She added in a comment: "Baby is okay! She was not bitten. The spider came back up a minute later and I killed it in the morning after I saw the video!"
The viral video has more than 10.3k comments, and people couldn't help but joke about the terrifying event - with many telling Emily to follow through with her promise to burn her house down.
One person wrote: "Save the baby, burn the house."
As another added: "I'm so sorry for your loss ... I'm assuming you never went to get your child again?"
While a third commented: "The way it went down to the baby. You've got to throw the room and the baby away now."
Other commenters shared their own spider-related horror stories, as one mum even claimed she once found a dead spider in her son's nappy.
She wrote: "I changed my sons nappy one day and there was literally a dead spider in his s**t."
And another commenter posted: "One time I felt a spider while in bed. I turned my flashlight on and found it on my toddler's face. Smacked him without really thinking about it. Oops!"
