Though the family is used to “creepy crawlies”, this large spider gave them “quite a scare”
A family in Western Australia got the shock of their lives a few days ago when a large huntsman spider climbed out of their child's school sneaker. The incident occurred on December 21. In a 29-second video uploaded on the YouTube channel ViralHog, we can see the spider climbing out of the shoe, revealing its large size, even as squeals could be heard in the background. The family that resides in a small farming town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia is used to “creepy crawlies”. However, this big spider emerging from the shoe gave them “quite a scare”.
"We live in a tiny little farming town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. Creepy crawlies are always coming in from the bush. We stumbled across this huge huntsman spider in our shed and it gave quite a scare," mum Ruth Tinley said.
The family also stated in the caption that they kept their shoes “outside and the kids all know to check their shoes before putting them on”.
The video has been viewed over 5,000 times on YouTube. Many people have even commented on it. The comments ranged from amused to concerned.
