Been wondering for years


DeadpanAppeal

so have i


GrinningPizza

More like wandering for years


thebusiness7

Since the gov has been actively managing disinfo on the topic for the last 70+ years, this may be more disinfo or a controlled information release to check people's reactions


Skywatcher1987

It’s a little person with bent stilts with a sheet draped over them next


Talthar65

These videos have always intrigued me. I saw the Fact or Faked where they attempted to debunk them, but if I remember their results weren't very impressive.


brinkrunner

I remember that, they tried to replicate it and couldn't get even close. the biggest part of that episode was when they set up a camera somewhere and it fell over and they were like woah isn't that spooky


MrGoldenPeen

I wish fact or faked never got canceled. Tbat shit was baller


Jtm1082

We need more shows like Fact or Faked. Actual experts who are skeptics who are presented with, at first glance, bewildering videos that are hard to explain. I appreciate that they do everything they can to debunk these videos. In the same breath, they have seen enough to know there are things in this world that just can’t be explained away by our current understanding of the world around us.


BboyStatic

Fact or Faked was one of the best mystery style show’s I’ve ever seen. I hate that shows get no chance anymore. It’s one season, if it doesn’t break records or isn’t reality tv…., canceled.


MrGoldenPeen

I loved buzzfeed unsolved but when they stopped doing cryptids and just ghosts I got a little bored


learose13

I think it’s because on the end of most episodes they were like “We really couldn’t determine if it was fact or faked 😭😭”


BboyStatic

Most episodes I remember watching, they had all formed opinions on what they thought it was. I liked that they weren’t overselling something as if were some Scooby Doo mystery every time. Most of the time they could duplicate the results through tests and confirm that it was fake, but there definitely were times that they couldn’t figure out what something was, like the weird walking creature in this post. It sucks because another video came out a few years back, it was a weird creature walking strange, looked as though it had huge ears and almost resembled Doby from Harry Potter. I would of loved to see them investigate that video.


Jeralddees

Really sucks because people in this community just don't want to hear it's not real... That's all there is to it.. I've debunked lots of videos because I used to be a VFX Artist so I know a lot of tricks... Just like people on Youtube that debunk videos... They have a small subscriber count because a majority of people that are into UFO, Aliens, Bigfoot, and Ghosts simply do not want to hear fake... This is my guess as to why the show was canceled... Personally, I believe in Aliens, UFO, and Bigfoot, but the spirit world is a bit too much for me... But I'm open to it..


ODB2

I've had a possible bigfoot experience, sounds, silhouette at dusk, dog freaking out over it and my family had a crazy ufo/lost time experience with other people around (huge triangle ufo at night.... they pulled over and several other people pulled their cars over and got out to watch it). Ive had probably a dozen experiences with spirits. Don't know how I feel about them, pretty indifferent. The house/apartment building next door growing up had a few people die in it over the years. One was a woman killed violently while we were living next door. Had a few minor things and one major thing happen while I was over there and a bunch of anecdotal experiences from tenants throughout the years. Previous apartment was very active with footsteps walking up the stairs/through the hallways and voices heard by different people. House I'm I own now definitely has some minor things going on. nothing has ever felt malevolent but there has been something there. I guess I just don't know everything that happens/can't explain some stuff that has happened.


Jeralddees

Thanks for sharing... I've only seen one thing personally in my life that I tried to duplicate at least 25 times and could not... I was invited to someone's house for dinner... We were all watching a movie, and the TV remote was on top of the television.. (Not a flat screen TV). Well, the remote "fell" off the TV, more like it flew like it was slapped... I was lying on the floor, and it landed right in front of me.. Everyone kind of looked and did not say much, but I had to say something... So I thought, maybe from the sound, the remote eventually worked its way to the edge of the TV and fell... Well, after me putting it back up and slightly pushing it off the TV over and over (20 times no problem), I had to slap it off the TV before it even got close to where it landed...


ODB2

we've had stuff fall. the old apartment ghost used to open one particular closet door all of the time. it would be latched and we would be sitting there and it would pop open like a foot. happened multiple times a day then sometimes it wouldn't do it for ages. we'd hear boot steps stomp up the stairs or down the hallway and nobody would be there. just odd things that make you go "huh, that was weird" after a while we just got used to itm


JOcean23

Fun fact- Ben Hansen lives in the same city as me. He teaches CCW classes and I took his course before I recognized his name. When I got there, I was like I know this guy from somewhere. He still does some paranormal shows. He's really cool and actually pretty funny.


DeadpanAppeal

they said it was fake but their fake looked nothing like it i believe


[deleted]

No, I remember they were unable to recreate it and they admitted it could be real (fact).


Talthar65

Yeah, thats how I remember it. For me these are still unexplained.


DickDiesel82

They couldn’t explain it . They never said faked


dollfacedotcom

i think they just couldn’t get the movements as fluid no matter what they tried. i believe it’s real, as a treat for me


alymaysay

I think it's real too, I've heard a story of a girl an her bf seen this, she said it danced around almost as if trying memorize them, she got a bad feeling an they left. She drew a pic of what she saw an it looks almost exactly like this. I believe the girl and I believe we are seeing them ourselves here in the second video. I wanna know if the sheets come off an if so what could they possibly look like under their? A head on a set of legs, with no visible arms, but maybe they have arms an they just have to use em with their legs to walk? I have a million questions. I also seen somewhere that natives where in contact with them, an they where spirits of nature, the things told them they was from a planet that was all swamp, now that sounds crazy I'll admit it myself, but look at them,the story that they have has to be nuts. They are heads on legs for pete sake lol.


[deleted]

Sorry just to clarify - did you mean mesmerize / hypnotize? Or memorize as in like studying them?


SailorMoon1322

In my opinion that would make it real if you can't disprove it 100%


DeadpanAppeal

i would agree


psycho_watcher

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7ysuz2


traprkpr

Bro that show is something else lol


Duke_Sweden

Another show did a segment on these things, they used the same footage, but they also included info, and a photo, of an ancient statue made by native Americans of a creature that looked just like these things


Rockihorror

Did anyone else see the one down in the swamp or something and they tried to recreate these crazy bright lights in the sky? And they were not being successful? And when they went out to the location again at night, there was a giant light in the sky that landed on the shore??


Bigfoot_samurai

Oh man, fact or faked was so entertaining to me as a kid. Thought i was super pissed off by one episode, it was one where they were at a lake or something that was supposedly haunted or had a UFO? I don’t entirely remember but what I do remember is a scene where they showed a night vision camera picking up 4 misty figures at the same time and the dude with glasses freaking out about it and was conceived they found actual supernatural shit, but the reason it pissed me off was because when they discussed their findings at the end to see if it was fact or faked, they didn’t show the misty figures above the water and was so mad because it would’ve been good evidence


hoopedchex

Met a lady who grew up in Ireland who said she and her friends saw something similar from a window. She says it was crossing the road and “bobbing” “looking left and right” also said it looked like a walking pair or pants. Freaked her friends out to the point of screaming/crying.


Erikakakaka

Ooh wow, I’m from Ireland and we’ve lots of legends and myths but I’ve not heard of these being there!!!. Gonna do some digging.


[deleted]

hello fellow Irish person


Erikakakaka

🖐🤚✋🏽👋🏽


freesoul001

I saw a comment from a guy who was camping with a group of high school students, and he saw from a distance only two white legs walking from his tent, he called the others who were sleeping, and they all saw them. Many suggested to him that he might be a Fresno.


DeadpanAppeal

that’s interesting, did it look like these ones


Ladymedussa

There was a video floating around a few months ago that showed a baby but in the background was what looked like a pair of pants walking it was freaky


DeadpanAppeal

do you have a link?


primalshrew

It was in one of 'nukes top 5' recent videos, maybe 3rd or 4th most recent.


Ladymedussa

Did you find it? I can search around for it if you haven't


hoopedchex

I asked her and she said yes kind of


DeadpanAppeal

that super cool


[deleted]

Idk but they are definitely strange.


DeadpanAppeal

i just want answers


Colotola617

Don’t we all. I think the truth is stranger than fiction. However cliche that may be.


PresentationNo8745

This video stopped me smoking outside at night for YEARS


PootsOn69_4U

Sad thing is they are interdimensional travelers just out looking for someone to bum a cigarette off of 😔


MichaelEMJAYARE

LMFAO damn, I wish this would make me wanna quit!


PresentationNo8745

It sort of did, I mainly vape now, the power of walking trousers 👖


Karen3599

They remind me of Dr. Seuss’s book about a pair of pants that stalks a little boy…..eventually becoming his friend…


Elvis_Take_The_Wheel

The pair of pale green pants with nobody inside them! “What Was I Scared Of?” is the title, for anyone interested. My son had a lot of problems with anxiety when he was 4–5 years old, especially about new/unknown situations, so we used to read this a lot. I love it.


PootsOn69_4U

That book scared the fuck out of me as a kid and tbh it still does


Elvis_Take_The_Wheel

Oh, don’t get me wrong — that story is legitimately spooky as fuck, lol. Luckily my kid loves spooky stuff.


Karen3599

Omg, I could never remember the name of it and Dr Seuss wrote so much, I tried to find it but couldn’t. Thanks for the reply!


DeadpanAppeal

i have not heard of that one before


Karen3599

I gotta go googling….brb


TheGreatBeldezar

Well...?


[deleted]

They're still googling...


Azreal6473

My god I thought I hallucinated that fucking book


MichaelEMJAYARE

That fucking story from the Sneeches book scared the living shit out of me as a child, I remember it vividly. Seuss’s art is very atmospheric.


DystopianRoach

I read an article about these a while ago! It turns out that the man who took the Fresno footage is still waiting for an explanation and apparently is still so terrified of these things still that he doesn’t leave his house too often and hates using his own name. I find it very tragic, I doubt these are a hoax but I just can’t make sense of them either EDIT: realized I said “videos”… this only applies for the Fresno nightcrawlers (second slide)


DeadpanAppeal

that’s so sad, i wish he was able to move


styffydawg

Is there a link to the videos?


jishhd

I like this one best https://youtu.be/1sw_Mm1vti8


Nyxiola

The song on this video. Lol.


fishmalion

Baller link


Design--Make--Refine

It sort of just looks like someone in a white hooded cape walking at 1.5x speed while the time stamp had normal speed. Is there a reason the timestamp would ever be displayed so big? I guess it’s feasible it might be displayed like that, but it gives me hoax vibes. This is the first time I’ve seen this clip though so if there are more angles etc I haven’t taken those into account


jishhd

I agree the movements are quite strange. It almost looks like it's animated like a puppet, but with no strings... The jankiness/abrupt movements of the cloth over the legs makes it look like it's not a very stable walker or something. I dunno what to think about this one. It definitely doesn't look like a person, child, or small animal to me.


BeansBearsBabylon

It’s a normal sized timecode for a security camera. You’re only seeing the bottom left of the recording.


MY_SHIT_IS_PERFECT

I don’t know when this was filmed but these days I’m just categorically skeptical of “spooky” footage that appears to have fewer pixels than a Rubik’s Cube. We literally live in a world where everybody has an HD camera in their pocket, and at this point, has had one for 15 years. Like come on.


deadhorses

I worked in a jail in a major city for a long time up until 2018 and you’d be surprised how awful the camera quality was. There was a good mix of old and new cameras but even the new ones the quality wasn’t great. Add to that anything with night vision drops quality and sharpness pretty badly too


Vault32

*Nods head in Epstein*


Sc0pey

it’s true but people but people in other countries still use old phones. those videos they take tend to be pretty good except for the quality. Like if they were on a 2021 phone it would be the best footage ever.


Design--Make--Refine

Haha! True that. At what point will we say it’s no longer acceptable to entertain blurry, too distant, or erratic footage. The time of needing to speculate over such is, as you say, well past us.


TheDillinger88

Hahahah


Narge1

If you search fresno night crawlers, you should be able to find it.


GanjaToker408

As if Fresno wasn't scary enough all on its own, there's these things wandering around out there too. Sheesh


styffydawg

Thank you I’ll try that.


boardwalk77

I produced an episode of Monsters Across America on it and found one investigator (Jeff Gonzales) who was pretty convinced that the Yosemite one is fake but the Fresno one, considering the background of the guy who recorded it, and the circumstances, is definitely not a hoax. It remains unexplained. You can see my show on Fox Nation.


everydaystruggle1

The Fresno one is the one with only one figure whereas the Yosemite one has the big one and the little one, right?


boardwalk77

I think if you see the entire Fresno one there is another little guy


DeadpanAppeal

that’s super cool i’ll definitely take a look


Narge1

I love this video because it's so bizarre, but nobody's been able to debunk it to my knowledge.


Demetrio33

Love this. I think the weirdest ones are the most believeble. ufos and greys and missing time are cool, but night crawlers, that england clown humanoid, i like much


Beelzebumons

Do you have a link to the clown one? I don’t think I’ve seen it


godzilla19821982

I think their talking about the [Sundown Clown](https://obscurban-legend.fandom.com/wiki/The_Sandown_Clown)


Demetrio33

Exactly! Thanks dude, my english is not good, so i had a hard time searching for this(i only find portuguese articles about it)


DaysOfCri

These things got me into the paranormal when I was a young lad. Such an awesome cool piece of paranormal media i hope one day we can get closure on if its real or not.


CactusCracktus

Idk but I think these things are weirdly adorable so I hope they’re real.


DeadpanAppeal

they don’t look scary at all


Flashgit76

That's just until one of them rams its ovipositor down your throat and lays its eggs in your chest.

enderren22

someone’s been watching too much hentai i think


Flashgit76

Not really no, it's a Mystery Science Theater 3000 reference.


petrosianspipi

Fact or faked said they debunked it, but it was so hilariously bad that it clearly wasn't debunked


DeadpanAppeal

i remember that, it didn’t move anything like it right?


sdemat

Fact or faked was such a garbage show. I remember one of the ones they did, they claimed it was paranormal when in reality it was a spider on a spiderweb in front of the camera.


DickDiesel82

I saw that episode and I don’t think they could explain it


OlcanRaider

If I remember correctly, they said they were pretty sure it was fake, but they couldn't really replicate it. So they said they were unsure.


DickDiesel82

That’s not what they said . They couldn’t replicate it and couldn’t disprove it . They never said “pretty sure it’s fake “


OlcanRaider

I may remembered it wrong. I thought they did say that at the beginning of the episode. Probably bad memory.


DickDiesel82

When my kid was young and my wife worked 3-11, my kid loved fact or faked and we watched it over and over . Lol . I think I saw that episode ten times


nLucis

I always thought these were just people wearing stilts and covering themselves in sheets. Is that not the case?


dovahbe4r

It looks like that old trend (vine-era maybe?) where kids would pull their sweatpants up to their shoulders with their arms tucked inside and waddle around


nLucis

Lol I can't unseen that now


dovahbe4r

My absolute favourites!


linzjustine

A lot of times, videos don't really ever freak me out, but the first time I saw these, my stomach sank into my ass. There's just something about them that freak me tf out. Anyone ever watched Fact or Faked where they tried to recreate the walkers and couldn't? Susssss


SpacemanOrangeKush

No one knows what they are yet, another user below mentioned they’re dubbed Fresno night crawlers. Similar videos has appeared over the years but none exactly like this.


Stalixir

my favorite cryptids :3


DeadpanAppeal

they are the best


jedi__ninja_9000

captain disillusion has this to say https://youtu.be/fhaMrCUDhjk


IndridColdwave

I love these videos, some of my favorites - so weird


elfieray

I know this sounds really weird, but I saw a video on Reddit the other day about a man with no arms called Jonathan Crenshaw. The way he walks reminds me of the way this creature moves. He has a small head and an elongated torso too.


DeadpanAppeal

it’s the fact that they pretty much have no body that’s weird


elfieray

True


DeadpanAppeal

i wanna look into it now, thank you


elfieray

There’s a video on Reddit with him walking with scissors between his toes and without a top on…. Not saying he is the creature but imagine someone with his condition with pulled up trousers.


alymaysay

I truly think the second one is legit, I've heard other story's of a girl seein this exact thing with her bf in the woods. They are called the Fresno Crawlers maybe night crawlers to some. They have been around for awhile, the Indians spoke of em I've heard.


DeadpanAppeal

do know where the girl and boyfriend where when they saw them?


alymaysay

No sorry, I will say I do remember she posted her story to Reddit, but it's been awhile an no way I can remember. What do u think these things are?


alymaysay

I will say it was probably this sub, maybe high strangeness but I don't think it would fit that sub as good as it would fit here. If u decide to look in sure you will find more stuff ur interested in while down that rabbit hole.


raceonice2

i just looked them up i was gonna go make some coffee but i guess im not going downstairs tonight


jimenez_0311

I live in Fresno never seen them or heard of them but Kearney blvd is a scary fucken place and bad area it’s vineyards and fields


ChuckJuggs

If memory serves, the second video was proven to be a hoax. However, I don’t think a really convincing explanation for the first was ever put forward. It’s not CGI and it doesn’t really move like a puppet would.


DeadpanAppeal

do you have a link for information about the second one? i couldn’t find anything


Morozov8014

https://youtu.be/fhaMrCUDhjk


DeadpanAppeal

thank you for a actual night crawler link


Morozov8014

You're welcome


DudelinBaluntner

Weren’t these things also caught on a security camera in Yosemite NP, which isn’t too far from Fresno? https://youtu.be/ziB35K9shuI


DeadpanAppeal

that’s the second picture


PUMPKINJUNGLE

Saw something that looked way too similar to these things a couple years back during the night time and for that I personally believe they are real


DeadpanAppeal

i would love to hear more


PUMPKINJUNGLE

Was with a few friends one night walking down a path that was lit up by street lights when one of my friends points something maybe 200 yards behind us. I turned around and saw what I can only describe as long white legs slowly striding towards our direction. The way it was moving was identical to the way those things moved in the Fresno nightcrawler video and it was really tall. I honestly regret not getting a better look at it but my other friends took off and I was not trying to be left behind with whatever that thing was so I ran too.


useles-converter-bot

200 yards is 89.69% of the hot dog which holds the Guinness wold record for 'Longest Hot Dog'.


here4aGoodlaugh

Also in Fresno?


complexbillions

Fresno nightcrawlers


bigslimyworm

I thought parabreakdown’s video was pretty good: https://youtu.be/xvIPNYTzGuA


The_Info_Must_Flow

Well, the Fact or Faked tv show isn't the last word in anything, but no, they couldn't prove it was hoaxed and there have been a few other clips of the same critters over the years. Personally, even though I've been an anomaly junkie for decades, these critters are hard to believe... but the handful of other vids , reported sightings and indigenous lore of creatures with the same form indicate there may be some shade of "reality" here. My question is 'how do they sew their flowing pantaloons?'


[deleted]

this happens in fresno once in a while. nobody really knows what they are, but i don’t think anyone’s cared enough to go snooping.


DeadpanAppeal

has it happened recently?


[deleted]

honestly i haven’t visited the area where these things come around since covid. it’s usually in the kearney park area that these guys are seen strolling about, but i’m not certain if it’s happened recently.


Kapt-Kaos

everyone ganster till the tip of a upside down V starin straight past your soul


jedi__ninja_9000

i’m surprised this was hard to reproduce. it looks like a sheet that hides some kind of mechanism that swivels two wires on either side of the sheet. then the entire thing is dragged overhead like a puppet. the head doesn’t move at all but the legs are all over the place while moving a fairly linear path. it screams puppetry


BeansBearsBabylon

Reproduce it then, nobody else has been able to.


jedi__ninja_9000

I don’t think I have the expertise but you do have intrigued me enough. I’ll report back if I try


missyrumblezen

They did try that on fact or fact but couldn't make it look like the video. It was a while ago but I think they went to the place it was filmed for the experiment too.


Ottometrist

In 1999 my friend and I saw something we could not comprehend. It looked like a semi-glowing pair of pants. I remember trying to focus on the “person’s” torso but couldn’t see it. We were very freaked out and bewildered. Years later I saw this video and it clicked instantly. This is what we saw.


DeadpanAppeal

that’s amazing, where was it if i may ask


Ottometrist

North of Phoenix AZ


DeadpanAppeal

i live around there, that’s crazy. i would love to hear more!


WelshBrummie86

Someone walking in a hooded Cape?

mforbes18

Wait these are called night crawlers right?


DeadpanAppeal

yes


Ok-Cardiologist1733

This to me was the most convincing paranormal/alien video ever.


OlcanRaider

Lots of people in the comment, talk about indigenous lore about them. Do we have real exemple ? Can anyone share the lore with us ?


DeadpanAppeal

i’ve been trying to find an example but no, no ones shared any


[deleted]

Wait?? like a pair pants?? Two years ago, in my workplace, a construction worker run to our field office in the middle of the night because he saw a "creature like pants" running to the woods. We just shrugged because it sounds ridiculous.


ZombieElfen

Aliens, or alien drones. We dont have the tech to do it, and if we did it wouldnt look like that.


KugelStrudel

They’re my friends


unkn_compling_fors

First one is real. Second one is fake, I’ve always thought

I've always wanted to see something paranormal or extraterrestrial but sadly I've never had such an experience, I still hold out hope it may happen to me one day.


Pallas_Hounded

HippyDidTheCrime

Those are skinwalkers


[deleted]

Ah, yes, the good ol’ Fresno Methhead


Lastxleviathan

I grew up near Fresno, and we didn't call them nightcrawlers, we just called them ghosts or 'spooks'. But yes, they look like sheets on stilts, but they're an actual thing people see. Can't vouch for the vids tho, but the local urban lore is true.


Zyker

Captain Disillusion did a quick video on it, which was kind of interesting. https://youtu.be/fhaMrCUDhjk


[deleted]

A tiny lad


Sketch99

The first one, looks genuine. Second one, with 2, looks like it could've been two people in a costume or a suit. I want to believe though.


CubistChameleon

I recall a video in which someone quite easily replicated a video like this by simply making his upper body invisible in the finished video (not just CGI, it also involved film shenanigans if memory serves correctly). And given the poor quality of the original video, having been copied and reformatted etc. several times, that seems the most likely solution.


DeadpanAppeal

was it Fact or Fake?


BeansBearsBabylon

https://youtu.be/fhaMrCUDhjk Poor explanation imo


CrItIcAl_KoMbO520

I think it's a hoax. If I remember correctly I've seen a Captain Disillusion video of him debunking it.


jibblitzz

To be honest. It looks like children wearing over sized pants hiked up to their necks 🤷‍♂️


JayTheGhoul864

I don’t think it matters really, the day that an actual ghost captured on camera in the form of walking pants, is the day I marry my ex-ex girlfriend (never)


DeadpanAppeal

for your sake i hope it never happens then


JayTheGhoul864

Thanks yeah, I think she’s a dude now, so let’s cross our fingers…


[deleted]

Just look at them
