A mother named Emma Snell was trying to film a cute video with her children when she was startled by something scary on the camera. The story went viral on social media.
A TikTok video shows Emma Snell trying to capture a sweet moment with her 1-year-old twin daughters, Evelyn and Elsie, when she was surprised during the filming. The story quickly went viral on social media.
With over 40 million views, Emma, from Dayton, Ohio, was filming her daughters playing inside the house. Evelyn was in the living room when the camera moved downward to Elsie’s face. The mother screamed when she saw what appeared on the screen.
“My soul left my body for a second,” Emma wrote in the video’s caption. Elsie’s face was distorted due to a filter. She appeared as the character Gollum from *The Lord of the Rings*.
The mother told *Newsweek* that she accidentally recorded the video on Snapchat, which triggered the filter. “I use Snapchat because of the flash. They love it, and it keeps their attention,” she commented.
“Oh my God, I almost jumped out of my seat!” wrote one user in the comments. “Girl, you scared everyone on TikTok,” said another.
