“There’s nothing quite like drifting off to the soothing sounds of nature, but it takes a chilling turn when that ‘nature’ finds its way inside your ear.
This unsettling encounter unfolded for TikTok user Desirae Kelly, who recently experienced a nightmarish awakening. She awoke to an inexplicable noise, only to uncover a spine-tingling truth – a spider had taken refuge in her ear.
Hailing from Missouri and aged 29, Desirae shared her ordeal with the world while anxiously awaiting the nurse’s intervention to extract the arachnid, shedding tears as she confessed her embarrassment and disgust.
Her initial video, which amassed over 21 million views, left countless viewers in suspense, eagerly anticipating the rest of her hair-raising narrative.
In a follow-up clip, Desirae recounted the eerie morning when she woke up around 5 a.m., sensing an unusual ‘fluttering’ sensation in her ear.
“At first, I thought it was the tassels on the end of my comforter, so I tried to fall back asleep,” she revealed. “About 10 to 15 minutes later, I woke up again, and this time, I hadn’t quite fallen asleep enough to ignore it, so I actually felt something moving in my ear.”
Rather than attempting a DIY solution, Desirae opted to wait until the urgent care facility opened at 8 a.m. However, as she waited, the discomfort escalated from a mere ‘fluttering’ to excruciating pain.
“It felt like a sizable clump of wax shifting at the base of my eardrum,” she described. “It was incredibly uncomfortable.”
Despite briefly convincing herself that it might be ‘just earwax,’ her worst fears materialized when the nurse examined her and uttered the chilling words, “There is something in your ear.”
Desirae admitted to immediate tears as the nurse readied herself to flush her ear and remove the intruder. “There is a creature in my ear,” she lamented, recounting the harrowing moment at the medical center. “I’m not nervous about the pain; I’m nervous about what we’re attempting to flush out.”
