We’ve all heard of hypnotists convincing humans that they’re chickens. But what about hypnotists putting chickens in a trance? You’ll see this and a couple more amazing hypnotisms in this fascinating clip.

In this video we see pigeons and even an alligator go into a hypnotic state. You can even learn how to do it yourself!

However, I don’t recommend seeking out alligators to try out your animal hypnotism skills. If you don’t have the technique down, the results won’t be pretty.

I found this video incredibly creepy to watch, yet somehow I couldn’t look away. It’s just that fascinating and intense.
