History
The Fresno nightcrawler was first popularized by CCTV footage shot in 2007 by a man in south Fresno, California featured on the television network Univision. The video is claimed to show a white figure like a pair of legs without a torso walking from the top left to the bottom right of the screen, followed by a second figure walking in the same direction. The Fresno nightcrawler was featured on the History Channel program The Proof Is Out There.Subsequent footage claimed to be of similar creatures was shot in Yosemite Lakes Park in 2011, and there have been claimed sightings as far away as Poland. The SyFy program Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files coined the name "nightcrawlers", and said its attempts to investigate if the footage was a hoax proved inconclusive. Claims to relate the Fresno nightcrawler to Native American legends have been debunked.
