Since television has become a more interactive medium through the Internet, there have been lots of great benefits, like the ability of a show to post varied clips of footage which may otherwise have went unused to ran too long for the final cut. These scenes and pieces of footage are slowly making their way to the web. Today’s example is a very interesting case which was featured on “Fact or Faked,” a fairly annoying ‘paranormal investigation’ show.
In this show, they review footage they find online, then determine if there is enough evidence they could obtain in order to scientifically evaluate the probability of the event ever occuring, and perhaps even get the jitters a few times along the way for good viewing pleasure.
This case details a family who was having the dogs bark during the night for some time, so they installed security cameras to identify the kids or other problem which was getting the dogs upset. What they caught on tape, was not expected.
The clip, below, depicts a very thin upright creature with some type of cape which covers them slowly walk across the back yard, in front of the security camera. Watch it – several times – and see what YOU think it could be. Varied stories around the internet say they are aliens or another visitor, while others, and the investigation, speculate it’s something from the deep woods.
During the show, they ended up chasing what they thought may be the culprit, and basically saw two very thin trails through the weeds where it was traversing, leading straight to a pond or lake. Without spoiling the whole episode (which you can watch on Hulu here), it’s pretty freaky what happens during their investigation.
Freaky!

I wanted to comment on these Nightcrawlers, or as one eye witness called them “Walk walks”.

This is one of the few “entity” videos I’ve seen that really creeps me out, no matter how many times I re-watch it. The reason being is that I have a very emotional recurring memory of seeing something like this outside our house in broad daylight, when I was very young.
The memory goes like this: I was drying the dishes with my older brother washing them, one morning after our Mom asked us to. I must have been younger than five, and I remember thinking it was fun, getting to do this grown up helping thing. Still clearly remember not being able to see over the linoleum sink counter, trying not to let the soapy warm water run over the edge with the metal lip, and having to stand on some kind of stool so that I could reach high enough. All of a sudden out of nowhere I was struck by this absolute feeling of terror. Something compelled me to turn around and look through the kitchen and the living room, to the main window facing our street.
I was strunned in horror to see walking down our sidewalk in broad daylight, something that looked like a giant man sized, insect like stick figure, just striding purposely and authoritivly along like it belonged there. It was wearing some kind of robe, or cloak (might of had a hood, or old fashioned hat on its head, but that’s not clear anymore). It was carrying a walking stick with something (a crystal or a lantern light?) on top. It looked very ancient, very old, and very powerful, even though it was just an impossible grayish stick figure. I had the feeling that somehow I knew this thing. Suddenly, it stopped in its tracks, like it could hear my thoughts, and TURNED AROUND AND STARED AT ME. It had an ancient little insect face and was looking at me in complete indignant rage because it knew that I could see it. It was like it overloaded my head. I instantly fell on the floor, screaming and crying in absolute spastic terror.
I kept shouting for my brother to turn around and look at the WALK WALK! That was my name for it. (How stupid, it still creeps me out to this day even remembering that dumb name). My brother was still laughing from us joking around with the dishes, and just looked at me confused. No matter how much I screamed, it was like he either wouldn’t turn around or couldn’t see it right there in front of our house. I felt like an old man while I laid there crying and pointing at it in frustration – just the worst almost indescribable feeling of despair. It finally turned around stiffly, and just strolled on down the sidewalk out of sight. I think I might have passed out after that. My Mom came running in freaked out at what was happening to me, and couldn’t calm me down for hours. My brother just sheepishly laughed and told me for months afterward that the WALK WALK was going to get me. (That’s how I know this wasn’t some isolated bad dream).
Sometime after that, my Dad found a picture in a book about insects, of a either a praying mantis, or a walking stick. I pointed at the picture and screamed, THAT”S IT! I became obsessed with finding a walking stick insect after that.
I had one more absolutely horrifying childhood episode after that, not involving a creature, but with lights in the sky that followed our car after a night time church service, and hearing a voice in my head when we got out of the car. I think it still affects me to this day, I was so terrified. I don’t think a five year olds dream stays with you in life like that. Anyways, this happened in the 60′s and I still get the creeps whenever I drive back to our hometown and see that innocuous little neighborhood house that I spent half my childhood in.
PHEW – this isn’t the kind of thing you go around telling people you know. Thanks ATS for listening.

What are these? Sculptures? Ancient relics?
Actually, they are in front of a post office … weird huh?
New video surfaced, this time from Yosemite.
Hey Daniel,
Been following this latest Yosemite video. Have to admit it freaks the shit right out of me. Anyone and their mother can fake a bug-eyed grey, right? But these ‘things’… WTF?!?!?!
Saw your pics reposted on a forum for weird stuff like this and had to ask where were the statues located? I’m just wondering if this a California-based thing going on here?
Many thanks,
Darren.
It looks like it’s a California, Texas and South America thing, not sure why. My wife and I have been following the “walk walk” phenomenon lately… seems these things are coming out of the wood works.
