An American joined the discussion and was terrified after reading many spider stories Australians had shared in the thread.
‘As an America, reading this thread is f***ing horrifying. Half of you are telling stories of these things living in the house, the other half are talking about how these monstrosities feel when they bite. Holy f**k, Australia is another world.’
