Read on, if you dare...
In case you need a little inspiration to get your creative juices flowing, check out these scary submissions from last year.
One stormy night, @BlakeRichardson was fixing an external comms cabinet when he discovered this creepy crawly sight 🐜🐜🐜 A Meraki switch full of ants!
What about this poor soul? He's being eaten alive by the dreaded cable monster! 👾 Luckily, this is the before photo. @Jagatiya143 lived to tell the tale of how he wrangled this monster into submission after installing Meraki.
Now, it's your turn! What scary scenes have you seen?
