Fresno Nightcrawler

The Fresno nightcrawler is a cryptid said to originate in Fresno, California. It is described as semi-humanoid, white in color, long-legged, and claimed to be typically spotted in pairs. They have been compared to "walking pairs of pants".

According to Brian Dunning, the Fresno nightcrawler is an urban legend, "supported by little or no actual belief by anyone that it's a real creature; there's nothing particularly thought-provoking in its backstory; and yet, it has a prodigious community of supporters that is only likely to continue growing". This case remains a notable entry in historical unexplained-event archives and is included here as a curated historical report.
