This spine-tingling video shows a toddler crying while balancing precariously on the rim of a cot, prompting claims he the might be POSSESSED by a supernatural being.

And it's left millions of people well and truly spooked.

In scenes resembling a Paranormal Activity movie, the infant, Conner, is grumbles as he gets to his feet and balances himself on the edge of the side rail.

The tiny tot then stands up quickly, screaming, the night vision camera adding an eerie green glow to the boys' wide open eyes.

After a few seconds, the boy falls backwards back into the cot, as if pulled down by an invisible force.

A caption beneath the video reads: "Caught on Nanny cam in the middle of the night... No children were harmed. This is not my child in the video."

One viewer said: "This will end up being part of a new horror movie I guess."

Others have pointed out that the moment the boy falls looks particularly unconvincing, with some claiming it appears to be the work of special effects.

However, a handful of people have said it was perfectly possible the toddler could have stood on the rim as he appears to, as the edge looks unusually thick.
