The Nightcrawler, also known as the Fresno Alien, is a mysterious cryptid that has so far made two appearances, both of which took place in Fresno, California. On both sightings, it was only seen in video footage.
The Nightcrawler is best known for being one of the two featured video cases on the second episode of Syfy's Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files.
Appearance[]
It appears to be a relatively short creature (approx. 4 feet in height). It is an extremely thin, white humanoid with no discernible arms. It also appears to be wearing a white gown or cloak of some sort. It is thought to be similar to a classic grey alien.
Possible Explanations[]
There are several explanations as to what the creature could be. Theories include:
- An undiscovered species (a Cryptid)
- A paranormal or supernatural creature
- Extra-terrestrial
- A pair of white pants being puppeted
- This theory has some holes in it. A pair of pants 4 feet tall would be quite the pair indeed and it would be very difficult to manipulate said pants to make them move the way they do in the videos.
Trivia[]
- There are claims that Native Americans have seen or made contact with these beings, allegedly supported by wood statues. However, no location, specific tribe or estimate date of creation of the statues has been ever attached. Furthermore, both pictures seem to be of the same location. Thus, such claims cannot be considered reliable.
