“I’m Scared”: Nigerian Man Cries Out Over Rare Creature He Found Beside His Generator, Shares Video

A Nigerian man has stirred reactions on social media over a rare creature he found beside his generator.

Taking to TikTok, the man, @timitrey, shared a video of the creature, saying he was about to put on the generator when he saw it.

The young man said he was scared and cried out for help. In a follow-up video, a bold fellow appeared on the scene and helped to take out the creature.

The creature is a barn owl

A look at the clip showed the creature is a barn owl. According to Barn Owl Trust, barn owls are birds of prey, hunting and catching small mammals.

They have some extraordinary specially adapted characteristics to help them hunt for food at night, such as incredibly sensitive hearing and the ability to see movement with very little light. Many netizens, however, thought the creature was a ‘witch’ or something diabolic.
