I saw this the other day, but thought it was a fake along with most of the rest of the internet community. Well it turns out that whatever the hell it is in this video is indeed real and we should all probably be worried. The video takes place in a sewer in North Carolina, and its filled with creatures that in my opinion should not exist!
When the video first came out, people thought it was all trickery, however the video was sent my the makers to Dr. Timothy Wood, an expert on freshwater bryozoa. Here is a direct quote:
"Thanks for the video – I had not see it before. No, these are not bryozoans! They are clumps of annelid worms, almost certainly tubificids (Naididae, probably genus Tubifex). Normally these occur in soil and sediment, especially at the bottom and edges of polluted streams. In the photo they have apparently entered a pipeline somehow, and in the absence of soil they are coiling around each other. The contractions you see are the result of a single worm contracting and then stimulating all the others to do the same almost simultaneously, so it looks like a single big muscle contracting. Interesting video."
Be afraid, be very afraid...
