This will definitely make anyone’s skin crawl.
Hundreds of feet long snakes draped over the outside of a backpacker’s tent in Alaska’s remote Lake Clark National Park, a video recently released by the state park shows in terrifying detail.
Arachnids – known as harvestmen that aren’t actually spiders – crawled over every inch of the tent’s screen just above the heads of the people inside, the footage showed.
The camper zoomed over the tent with a flashlight, illuminating hundreds of feet of moving dad covering the tent in a thick pile.
Lake Clark National Park & Preserve shares a bone-chilling Halloween video along with a spooky poem.
“In the remote depths of Clark Lake’s vast wild landscape, a weary hiker settles into camp overnight after a day of exploring,” park officials wrote in a Facebook post. “Little did they know, creatures of the night lurked in the woods, waiting for the right moment to strike fear.”

Real-life horror is not for the faint of heart, officials warn.
“Cuddled into their warm sleeping bags, the weary explorers nod off to dreamland…suddenly they wake up feeling enveloped by creepy crawlies in the forest, only to find their nightmares have come true,” the post said. “Hundreds of feet long father has swallowed the tent!”
Many commenters said they guessed the next camping trip.

One called the clip “one of the creepiest Halloween videos” they’d seen online that day.
But national parks are not done to scare people.
The next day, officials broadcast a second clip from inside the tent during the day with a group of harvesters gathered on the other side of the tent screen.

The park service explained that scientists don’t know for sure why dozens of foot-long papayas gather closely together in packs called “aggregations” but they have some speculations about common behavior.
“This behavior is common among these long-legged creatures, but there is no clear explanation as to why they do it,” Lake Clark National Park & Reserve said in a Facebook post. “Researchers speculate that aggregations form for mating, moisture control, or to deter predators.”
Harvesters form aggregations more often in the fall when the weather is often dry.

The small, long-legged design makes them dry easily and bunching up helps retain moisture, park officials said.
Daddy longlegs lack silk and venom glands — which distinguish them from spiders — and are not known to bite humans. They are actually considered beneficial because their diet includes bugs and other pests.
The strangely shaped arachnids are considered cousins of spiders and are actually more closely related to scorpions.
