Lucknow, Tuesday night — A late-night scooty ride in Uttar Pradesh’s capital turned into an unexpectedly funny and frightening moment for a man in Lucknow, and the video has now gone viral across social media.
The clip instantly resonated with viewers who have experienced sudden fear while travelling alone on empty roads at night.
Statues Appear Suddenly on Empty Road
The video, reportedly recorded around 1:30 AM, shows the man riding through Lucknow’s Green Corridor. With no traffic and very little lighting, the road appears calm until the massive statues at Rashtra Prerna Sthal suddenly emerge from the darkness.
The towering structures appear without warning, completely changing the mood of the ride and startling the rider.
Man’s Reaction Becomes the Highlight
The rider can be heard reacting in shock and humour, comparing the statues to characters from the popular anime Attack on Titan.
He says,
“Lucknow Sarkar ne ye jo Attack on Titan banaye hain, thoda lighting ka to dhyaan rakho bhai… 50-50 feet ke 3 aadmi khade hain bhai. Main abhi scooty se gir hi jaata.”
The mix of fear, sarcasm, and relatability is what made the clip so popular online.
‘Attack on Titan’ Reference Wins the Internet
The anime reference struck a chord with viewers. Many joked that the statues looked like Titans assembled, while others filled the comments with dramatic captions and memes.
One comment read, “Colossal, Armoured & Attack Titan assemble.”
Another joked about waiting for a dramatic announcement, turning the moment into instant meme material.
Social Media Flooded With Reactions
Users shared their own late-night road scares, laughing at how ordinary structures can feel terrifying in low light. The clip spread rapidly across platforms due to its relatable humor and genuine reaction.
When Monuments Feel Different at Night
Rashtra Prerna Sthal is designed to inspire awe and respect during the day. However, the viral video shows how the same monuments can unintentionally scare passersby at night, especially when visibility is low.
The video serves as both a laugh and a reminder of how lighting can completely change our perception of familiar places.
