Huntsmen are harmless and are fairly tame. If you leave them alone they soon get used to humans and don’t even get twitchy as you walk past. The one in this vid is a fairly big specimen.
I used to chase them out of the house but I don’t bother now, I figure we can live in relative harmony.
I live in an old house, we have huntsman wandering round all the time. They’re big, sometimes, and they’re fast, all the time. I only chase them out if they’re over my bed. I’ve had them on and in my cars as well, it takes an iron will not to freak when one runs across the dash and disappears under the steering wheel. Best hunting is done with a stick with a towel on the end, with a cat for a hunting companion. If you miss, they don’t.
The only time I ever had trouble with a huntsman was when about 2 or 3 hundred of her babies gave birth right behind my bed. It really was like a scene from arachnophobia.
Otherwise, these creatures are harmless. I never thought I’d say this on the internet, but it’s clear this video is fake.

I have made a pact with spiders, in particular huntsmen. If they stay out of my personal space, I will leave them alone.
