Real or fake: Weird and wonderful viral videos
The internet is full of weird and wonderful videos and images which often leave the viewer wondering whether they were real or fake.
The latest viral sensation to turn out to be totally fake was the disgusting and shocking video of a spider living inside a man's ear.
Creator Bruce Banit confessed on his blog that he used special effects to make the horrifying video.
Let's be honest, he had everyone going with his convincing masterpiece.
Mr Banit claimed he felt like something was in his ear after he went for a swim at the Lake of Ozarks, a large reservoir in central Missouri in the US.
He described feeling a ‘super painful ear infection’ and a ‘totally blocked ear canal’ after going for the dip.
When he filmed the inside his ear on his phone, he found something truly horrifying, or so we all thought at first.
Mr Banit’s prank is not the first viral video that viewers have questioned the authenticity of.
