The Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, and the Mothman have all been around for more than 50 years. They are the OGs of the cryptid community. (Btw, does it sound pretentious using the word ‘cryptid‘ instead of “paranormal creature” or “weird ass thing someone caught on their outdoor security cam“?) Anywho, over the past 20 years or so a new creature has popped up that has the paranormal community talking.
These creatures, that look like a ghostly 3-7 foot tall walking pair of pants, have been appearing in various locations sporadically over the last 19 years. Unfortunately, they are not Hammer pants. Those were scary in a different way.
MC Hammer and his pants. It can’t be confirmed that they don’t walk on their own.
The first sighting of this kind of being was initially reported in 2004 in Indiana. It was only a witness report with no footage. The first incident with film occurred in the Fresno, California area in 2007. The original footage was from a guy taking video on his cell phone of the little indoor screen connected to his outside security camera. It’s very poor, and almost impossible to get a decent look at the creature.
The following, in the video below, is better footage from a Yosemite Park sighting in California and has commentary from paranormal experts.
There are many theories as to their origin. Some believe that they might be aliens. Others think they may be creatures from another dimension. Some theorize that they are a special effects stunt that proliferated because of the internet.
I for one want to believe in these creatures. Thus far they’ve been entirely harmless and appear far less often than UFO’s. There has only been about a half dozen sightings over the last twenty years which leads me to believe that they are either real reclusive nighttime creatures, or they are a hoax that keeps getting copied.
Have you heard of the Fresno Nightcrawlers? What do you think?
Thanks for reading! ~Phil
Good grief, this is the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen! I was about to call fake news until I saw where it was filmed. You don’t get random jokers staying overnight there, do you?
I’m not sure if just anyone can hang around that park all night. I did look up and discovered that the park does have campgrounds and a hotel there, but I would assume that people can’t run amok all over the park at night
Yeah, I imagine they’d be under strict lockdown in case they are mauled by a bison or something!
I’d love to see one of those things sometime, but I’m kind of leaning towards it being a hoax.
The legs do look like they’re made of floaty fabric. It’s still a good hoax, though!
I have not heard of the Fresno Night Crawlers before. I agree it looks like a hoax to me.
To me those eerily resemble the old style turn-of-the-last century one piece LDS skivvies. I read that Under the blessing of God, Secrets Unsealed and SUM TV have a huge warehouse in the Fresno area, meanwhile the LDS built a Temple their too. Strange bedfellows making strange? The coincidence is keen, I would line up the other sightings with similar facilities. Follow the money.
That’s an interesting theory. I’ll have to look into that
