THE SPOOKY PORCH — When I found this video, I saw the title and couldn't bring myself to watch. I knew what I was going to see, but I didn't want to see it. Sure enough, my curiosity got the better of me and I watched it. I had the exact reaction to it I thought I would and I'm guessing you will too.
There isn't a lot to say about this video because it's exactly what it's described as: a snake rings a doorbell.
A Ring doorbell was pushed, and naturally the owner looked at the video; but what she saw was not the visitor she was hoping for. It was this snake that is apparently quite an acrobat as it is balancing between the wall with the doorbell and a pillar opposite. That also means this snake — a rat snake, one of the YouTube comments claimed — is long enough to stretch that far and have some body left over.
It's creepy enough this snake is giving a big middle finger to physics as it suspends above the ground, but for a while you can't see where it begins or where it ends. There is something extra disturbing when you can't see the snake's head and have no idea where it's located.
Then as one final "got ya," the snake's head appears and heads right for the camera. It was at that moment I thought maybe I preferred not knowing where the head was.
All I know is with the recent videos I've found, snakegeddon is either teaming with bearpocalypse, or they are competing for supremacy for who will eventually be our overlords. All we can hope for at this point is the two factions destroy each other before they destroy us.
