What creates that weird, creepy sensation is slight contractions of the muscle fibers in the inside surfaces of the ear, mostly in the middle-ear. When one has an excessive build-up of ear wax, this may trigger these quick, fluttery spasms that try to move the wax out (and sometimes succeed); these sensations can seem as if something is slithering inside the ear.

It's another case of Nature taking care of things for us.

Rule: NEVER ram an object into your ear to extricate wax. Buy and use an ear-wax-removal kit instead, or go to your doctor to have your ear flushed out by a nurse-practitioner, with their equipment.
