If your nightmares have become predictable lately and you want to up the horror factor, you’ve come to the right place.

Spiders are now nesting in human ears.

Which is proof that they ARE out to get us, and my fears are entirely rational.

According to VICE, the spider was found holed up near the man’s eardrum by Zhang Pan, a doctor at the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University in China.

Pan captured the spider on film using an endoscope, according to Live Science. An initial attempt to remove it with pincers failed because the spider was too quick to grasp. But the squatter abandoned its hideout once Pan flushed the ear canal with a saline liquid. Its dramatic escape from the flood was also captured on video and fortunately, no damage was done to the man’s ear.

So if the above video wasn’t enough for you, here’s another one of that case in India:

Again. Nope.
