Residents in Virginia have been left spooked after footage appeared online showing an ice cream truck roaming the streets well past midnight.
The video, which quickly spread on TikTok and Reddit, shows the truck crawling through a quiet neighbourhood, music playing at a slowed-down, eerie pace. Some locals claimed it was “the creepiest thing they’d ever seen.”
What’s made it even more unsettling is the timing. Just weeks earlier, local reports mentioned dozens of missing children cases in the state, leading some to connect the dots — though authorities have said there is no evidence linking the truck to any criminal activity.
That hasn’t stopped people online from speculating. One Reddit user wrote: “Why is an ice cream truck out at 2am? That’s straight horror movie energy.” Another added: “This is giving me IT vibes.”
Police have since urged residents not to spread panic, confirming that while the truck has been reported, no crime has been tied to it. Still, with creepy videos circulating and conspiracy theories flying, the mystery has only added to the sense of unease.
Whether it’s just a prank, a late-night business idea gone wrong, or something more sinister — the internet has already decided this ice cream truck is the stuff of nightmares.
