Can you imagine being trapped in your home because of a humongous spider on your way out? That must be just extremely horrifying… something you'd see in a horror movie or a sci-fi movie…
That's exactly what happened to Lauren Ansell from Queensland, Australia… here's her story:
Queensland, Australia resident Lauren Ansell was cooking dinner with her boyfriend the other night when an unexpected visitor turned their quiet evening into a night of terror. It was a huntsman spider, a horrifying dinner plate-sized beast, and he wasn’t in the mood for any funny business.
Though not extremely dangerous to humans, huntsman spiders will bite if aggravated – and you better believe the bad boy holding this couple hostage was unhappy when they tried to move him. Even their poor cat was too afraid of the demonic creature to make a move. Would they be doomed to forever cower inside their home at the behest of a menacing arachnid?
After the bitter stand-off culminated in Ansell’s partner attempting to crush the eight-legged aggressor using the glass door, the enemy retreated with minor wounds. “We nicknamed the spider ‘Aragog’ from Harry Potter, and feel the spider has run into the forbidden forest,” Ansell told local media in conclusion. Though it’s unclear whether Aragog is gone for good, or simply lying in wait until his next attack, at least everyone involved in this harrowing drama came out alive.

“We nicknamed the spider ‘Aragog’ from Harry Potter… “
The name is surely well fitting, just look at his huge long legs!
People were shocked to say the least
Isn't that terrifying?! I totally agree with the comments above! …and I know I'd be squirming like crazy and paralyzed if I encountered such a gigantic spider in my home!!
