Holiday nightmare - this giant spider scuttled towards tourists in the Dominican Republic

A woman can be heard shouting 'Oh my god' and screaming as the giant spider scuttles at speed towards her.

The video was filmed in Cruce De Rio Verde in the central Dominican Republic. 

The British tourists are not the only ones to be terrified by spiders at the popular sunshine holiday destination - a thread on the Tripadvisor website lists frightening encounters. 

One woman wrote: ' Never saw one in five years of traveling to the Dominican Republic, but another guest on our first trip had one crawl out from under the bed.'

Another wrote: 'My sister-in-law saw one and said they are quite large...yuk.'
