The Lore
In 2007, a Fresno, California homeowner captured bizarre footage of what appeared to be a pair of white, stilt-like legs walking through his yard with no visible upper body. A second video from Yosemite in 2011 showed similar figures. The Nightcrawler has become a beloved internet cryptid with a uniquely eerie silhouette.
