Video Captures 'Giant' Spider Approaching Police Officer

October 22, 2018

Members of the Fulshear Police Department in Texas did a double-take while reviewing video footage from a routine traffic stop. In the dashcam footage, it looks like an enormous spider is crossing the street as an officer talks to a motorist.

Of course, it wasn't actually a huge spider - it was just a small one crawling across the car's windshield, but it created a perfect optical illusion.

"Who needs Hollywood special effects? This little guy was positioned perfectly on the windshield of the patrol car and gave our clerk, who was reviewing the video, quite the 'Halloween scare'," the department wrote.
