The worst has happened.

Forget pimple-popping videos and ghostly apparitions, the Internet has gifted us with a new video to make  stomachs turn and goose pimples rise.

The story begins so innocently.

A man by the name of Bruce Branit was left with a seemingly painful ear infection after swimming in a lake in Missouri, America.

Normal enough, right?

Bruce decided to use his phone in an attempt to investigate the pain.

Still normal.

But the he saw the spider.

Warning: watch this video at your own peril.

, sorry YouTube views, since Mr Branit’s ordeal.

Will you ever sleep again?
