I’ve seen my fair share of prank videos but this new one that is blowing up on Youtube and Facebook has a place near the top of my list. The video was set up on a brazilian variety show called “Programa Silvio Santos” and involves a woman sending random people up an elevator. While in the elevator, the lights begin to flicker and then darkness. Coming out of a secret side panel, a spooky little girl with a doll stands next to the confused individuals as the lights come back on. Screams from the little girl and the individuals follow immediately as their reactions are hilarious. But I can’t point any fingers, I probably would’ve been freaking out too and scrambling to get as fast as I could out of that damn elevator.
How do you think you’d react in this situation?
