The Fresno Nightcrawlers
In 2007 a Fresno homeowner reviewing security footage found something he could not account for. Two figures moved across his lawn in the dark. They appeared to be nothing but pale legs, very long, with a small torso between them and no visible arms or head. They walked with an unhurried, almost graceful gait and disappeared off the edge of the frame. The footage was submitted to the television programme Fact or Faked. The team could not replicate it to their satisfaction.

We tried every explanation we could think of. None of them produced the same walk, the same proportions, the same smoothness.


:NOTE.half
The Yokuts have a traditional figure called the nightcrawler, described as a walking spirit with little body and very long legs. The description matches the footage closely.

No original camera or recording equipment was ever tested. The chain of custody between the footage and its first broadcast appearance is unclear.
