WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- A viral video spreading heebie jeebies across the Internet features dozens of tiny, human-like raccoon hands reaching up through a wooden deck to take food.

The YouTube video shows a woman putting food into the dozens of little raccoon paws as they reach up through the wooden slats of a porch.

The woman, and the man filming the scene, laugh at the tiny hands poking out from between the boards, but the video gave numerous online commenters a creepy and menacing vibe.

"I don't know why but this freaks me out," one YouTube user wrote.

Another compared the video to "an outtake from 'The Walking Dead.'"

The location where the video was filmed was unclear.
