The legend of the entity known as the Fresno Nightcrawler originated from two videos captured of the creature back in 2oo7 on security cameras in Fresno CA and nearby Yosemite National Park (see below). As can be seen from the videos, the creatures appear like two stick-like legs walking robed in a cloth with no apparent torso, arms, or head. Since the two sightings the creature has attained official cryptid status and gone viral, prompting all sorts of artwork and fiction and products based on said entity and even additional sightings. It is one of the latest examples of a modern folklore legend being generated almost entirely by the Internet. (See also Slenderman and rakes.) As of this posting, no convincing evidence or claims of a hoax has yet surfaced afaik. What the hell is it?
