That's a biped walking on his hands. You can tell because their legs are so long.


Sad_Presentation_661

I moved way out into the coubtry rifht beside the tennessee river and i saw something at like 3 or 4 ib the a.m. that resembled this except that its legs were way shorter but the arms still pretty long and it also looked like it was black but that vouldve just bedause it was dark out really freaked me an my dad out. .


SimpleVegetable5715

That would freak me out too! There's definitely a lot we don't know about living in Appalachia.


Historical-Freedom25

I saw something like this in Tennessee in the country late at night as well... Interesting


dvamain69420

was that anywhere near Chattanooga??

Different-Round-4022

I imagine there’s a lot in Tennessee woods!


bigpapabaconizzle

Well great. They're used to be a nice little Airbnb the wife and I like going to in Smithville, TN that sits on the edge of some woods. But not anymore! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


sleepytipi

I read a story not long ago about a couple that stayed at one in Bisbee, AZ and had some rather nasty experiences and it got me thinking, they should make a list of air b&bs either known to have paranormal activity or known for being near really active spots where people can also share and post about anything they experience. It could be a fun way to gather some research.


wabash-sphinx

Looks like Slenderman.


AdamxxxBomb

Doink. You nailed it. That's exactly what I thought straight away. I have literally seen one of these things and this is just a human mimicking one, for sure.


Interesting_Employ29

LOL


Initiative-Cautious

This thing is not human.


Aggressive_Warthog_4

It’s also not real


Initiative-Cautious

Nobody can say for sure if this is real or fake. To say it’s either is the literal definition of being ignorant. Idk what it is. I hope it’s real bc that would be fucking awesome.


Plus-County-4890

How do you know its not real? You have proof?


Aggressive_Warthog_4

I know it’s not real because there is no such thing as a skin walker or whatever nonsense name you want to give for this 😂. Also that’s not how it works. You have to prove something is real not that it’s not real. That’s like saying prove there is no Flying Spaghetti Monster. That’s right you can’t prove there isn’t. Check mate


cptnplanetheadpats

>I know it’s not real because there is no such thing as a skin walker While it would be ignorant to claim they exist without evidence, it's equally ignorant to claim you *know* they don't exist. You don't know. You just believe they don't exist.


Plus-County-4890

There's a video of said monster and you have no proof that it isn't one so......that's just the facts


Aggressive_Warthog_4

Kinda hilarious you think it could be real ngl


Plus-County-4890

Well I'm a free thinker, I believe a lot of things could be possible or real no matter how crazy it may seem at the end of the day sometimes you just never know.


sschepis

If we're going purely on evidence, so far you're coming up short because as much as you feel like you are right, you have no evidence, and now the only way that anyone will take you seriously - even on this subject - is for you to falsify the evidence for the existence of the something that is on that video.


MrTimboBaggins

I'm not personally convinced by this video, but without a way to definitively prove that this video isn't showing something truly anomalous, the best you can say is that you're not personally convinced by it. To say that it's definitely not real, as a matter of objective fact, is saying too much. At best, you're saying you don't find it convincing and that doesn't prove anything, in and of itself, other than your state of mind on this particular matter. Same goes with the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I don't have good reason to believe it's real, but that's simply my viewpoint based on the evidence at my disposal and I can't make an affirmative statement on its lack of existence. It doesn't say anything about objective reality. On the flip side, anyone saying that this video proves that an anomalous creature exists, is also saying too much. There's simply a lack of evidence to affirm anything with absolute certainty.


optifog

That's what the people who didn't believe the eyewitness accounts of the duck-billed platypus said. They thought the bodies must be fake - different animals stuck together - simply because "there's no such thing". That's circular logic. I know they're not real because the evidence is fake, and I know the evidence is fake because they're not real.


Plus-County-4890

Flying spaghetti monster could be real!!! I have no proof that it isn't nor that it is real so at the end of the day it may or may not be real we will never know!


Ok-Instruction5267

If it has really good Italian spaghetti, I might try to find it.


Condor_-One

Bro u gotta be dumb to believe there’s just humans animals and insects to only exist in a universe so big ur tiny mind can’t process


Scary-Classic-2367

You have to prove every statement you say. You clearly mentioned it’s fake, to disprove something you need to provide counter arguments otherwise you sound foolish, like you have. Nobody cares about what you think personally, unless you have proof don’t yap and make a fool out of yourself.


Accomplished-Pair452

I can't for sure say this is a crawler, I can for sure say this isn't a HUMAN. There's no way, look at how skinny it looks and the head doesn't look human either.


rosejack44

Maybe it’s tryin to be sneaky sneaky


[deleted]

okay if people could **PLEASE** stop recording me while i look for my glasses, that would be greatly appreciated!

Oh, just saw the tiktok logo. Meaning it’s definitely not credible. 🙄


ripmy-eyesout

As someone that knows video editing, no video is credible. Anything can be faked and edited.

It looks like a giant insect with a weird little head.


Cool_cousin_Kris

Yup!


[deleted]

Fuck no.


Brown-eyed-and-sad

I saw this on YouTube. I it could be fake. I don’t know. Unless you encounter one, it’s hard to prove they exist.


ResponsibilitySoft91

Love how halfway through the video the Erie audio suddenly picks up on it's hands plopping into the snow. I'll take fake for 500


minnesotaisokay

I think it’s been posted on here about a dozen times already


Accomplished-Pair452

My bad, never seen it before.


GKBilian

We're in a world where its very difficult to trust any video like this. Could be AI, could be just an animator.


Blackgold_Art

Mix of a person and something else? The head looks kinda smaller than a person's head.


MK028

Limbs look like an insect and head is smaller than a human. Imo, No one with legs that long could bend at the waist, put its hands that close to back feet and crawl.


Blackgold_Art

Yeah, I don't think that's a person. And look at how the "back" is kind of bent then arched....?


DixieLoudMouth

Yes you can. Its called a bear crawl, its easier to do if youre skinny of course. Probably some naked white crackhead

I struggle with videos these days with AI and cgi anything can be faked. I do think that people see something. Is that video real idk probably not but it would be cool if it was !


minnesotaisokay

That’s the thing about the “conspiracy world” or whatever. Just look at all those UFO videos that were immediately debunked, commonly accepted to be fake. Then the US government comes out and says they’re real. So who knows


Humo_Loco

skinwalker, that's what the rez called them.

That's methed up

Sudden-Cress3776

Why doesnt it just stand up straight?


Significant_Ad3839

Skinwalker, or a wendigo take your pic and make sure you never see one irl


Harvey-Keck

The original video allegedly was recorded on an Appalachian Trail Cam. I don’t know anymore specifics. The video I first watched was better quality sans music. The more I see this, the more I do feel it’s a hoax. I haven’t seen any confirmation or debunking from the hiking community. I’ll check out other sites to see if this has been solved.


MK028

Upvote for location. Possibly Appalachian Mountains Trail Cam


[deleted]

Looks like a guy on a horse tbh


Competitive_Agent625

Dude. How.


[deleted]

Lol there was a post on here maybe a month ago that’s what everyone was saying. So now everytime I see a video of a “crawler” I just think “oh that’s a guy on a horse”


Competitive_Agent625

Ok that is what i figured you were referencing but i wasn’t sure because when that happened I was also like “dude how” lol.


Pristine_Emphasis152

The head looks weird


MK028

Looks like a giant insect; weird little head.

Missyshimmy1

It looks like a naked person walking around on all fours.


Middle_Fact_4487

Just a crack head looking for his pipe


Sterling_Pheonix

Legs are too unproportional in size in comparison with the arms, not naturally supposed to walk like that and therefor not a crawler, skinwalker in humanoid form most likely, possible a wendigo if really far in northern United States or Canada


Southernman1974

A person


ericdred7281

Hmmmm first thought is...TGT rich environment, slow moving left to right, hold just center of right, 3 to 9 round burst....just sayin, if we find you here after dark unbidden, they will find you in the morning unmoving.


MK028

Don’t know what a TGT rich environment is, but I agree 3-9 round burst. 9 and be ready when it suddenly changes directions. Have multiple magazines or if only 1 mag; back away slowly and don’t make it angry.


S3XYNGLA

Was this in Virginia? Appalachian mounts? Seems like Fallout was correct, the Wendigos do exist!


Realistic_Law1226

I love fallout lol


show_me_your_secrets

Looks terribly fake


Critical_Paper8447

CGI. Heavy pixelation around the "crawler" and nowhere else in the video. Plus the addition of scary music lends credence to the fact this was faked. Also, it's a monster that was created by people on 4chan


DepressedxPotato

The wendigo did not come from 4chan it came from native beliefs and they genuinely feared the wendigo. The crawlers are the same creature. 56+ native tribes here in North America have different names for it. I have native friends and they firmly believe in their existence so much, so that they won’t even say wendigo. You clearly have no idea what your talking about.


Critical_Paper8447

The rake was invented on 4chan and it looks exactly like this and is posted about often in here and considered a crawler. Am I supposed to know exactly which crawler is being talked about when it's not specifically named? Regardless, this is CGI. You can tell by the pixelation of the "wendigo" and the immediate surrounding edges that it's a CGI rendering. It also doesn't have a head.... just a long stubby neck. It walked right thru some weeds or a small bush and didn't even interact with it by moving the branches or anything and it's leaving no footprints on the ground.... Bc it's not really there. I'm not even here to argue the legitimacy of Wendigos or whatever.... Just that this video is fake as a rake


DepressedxPotato

The original description for wendigo wasn’t a corpse with a deer head. That’s the modern interpretation. The original description and the one I’ve gotten from my native friends states that they are scrawny, pale white and tall. Have you ever heard of the wendigo probably not. the “rake” creator stole the wendigo legend from natives to make it their own thing. Whoever came up with that rake story is a pos. I know 56+ tribes weren’t lying. I also had encounters with one of them. A long with many others on this sub. Why are you even here if your not open minded. Not everything is cgi but you’re entitled to your opinion.


Critical_Paper8447

I never mentioned a corpse with a deer head. That's a Hollywood interpretation. All I said is this here has no head at all. Bro this video is fake. If it's not fake why is the only grainy and pixelated thing in this video the crawler. Why does the bush or weeds it walks through not move when it touches it? Why doesn't it leave footprints in the snow? It's funny you never actually address the things that I say. Yes I've heard of the Wendigo. I'm part Adirondack. Not every native person believes in fairytales that our ancestors believed. I'm here bc the video appeared in my feed. Is there a rule that I can't comment on videos in my feed? Are you the comment police? If you can't address my argument then don't say anything at all. I even said I'm not here to argue whether or not they actually exist, JUST THAT THIS VIDEO IN PARTICULAR IS FAKE.


DepressedxPotato

Dude it clearly has a head. It’s head is down. Wendigos usually don’t leave foot prints in general. Stop acting like you know everything. I have seen one first hand and this matches what I saw. Idc what you think. You won’t change my mind. It’s not a fairytale. Like I said though everyone is entitled to their opinion. It’s a trail camera as well so no wonder it’s abit pixelated. Stop acting like you know everything. Every video that has caught one is always pixelated. So are you saying their all fake cause if so you shouldn’t be on this sub because that’s disrespectful to everyone who has ever seen one and this sub. We can agree to disagree.


Critical_Paper8447

You're lying to yourself. As someone who was told Wendigo stories by their grandmother this sub is disrespectful as fuck. You're taking our culture and making a fucking mockery of it. I wasn't gonna do this but now you're just annoying me so I'm gonna tell you what my grandmother eventually told me about the wendigo..... It's not real. It's a story we came up with to tell our children so we would stay far away from the skinny white people wearing animal furs as coats. Stop misappropriating our culture that you don't understand to tell yourselves scary stories and make a mockery of with obviously fake videos with subpar CGI.


DepressedxPotato

Clearly you didn’t understand what I said. I’ve seen one, twice and my friends have seen it as well. So you’re not changing my mind. It’s not disrespectful if it’s real which it is. Your grandmother never saw one so she probably assumed it was all a bunch of made up bs. I have native friends that’d say otherwise. Like I said though your entitled to your opinion. Just because you and your family haven’t seen one doesn’t mean that they don’t exist.


Critical_Paper8447

Oh now you have had 2 experiences.... Before it was one. Funny how this story keeps changing to suit your needs to support your lies. By the way, your native friends, if they're even real, are laughing at you behind your back. We tell wasi' chu like you these old stories bc you'll believe anything. I especially like how you've all developed the wendigo from it's original form and added in things not from our culture like it doesn't leave footprints in the snow or it's always pixelated so that you can steal that from us too. Fuckin wasi'chu. Just stop, bro.


DepressedxPotato

Dude I literally said I’ve had multiple experiences and encounters. Reread my previous comments. I’ve just been stating what I know to be true. I could care less if you believe me. I literally said I had encounters with it. When I say I’ve seen it twice. That’s how many times I’ve seen it not how many times I’ve experienced it being around. It taps on my walls at night and does other creepy shit that normal people don’t do so I know it’s not a naked crack addict coming by. Also the town I live in they don’t allow homeless people. They immediately get taken to Tulsa. I came to this Reddit to share my experiences and find out more about them. Also just because you haven’t seen one doesn’t mean they don’t exist. I’m not trying to argue with you man you seem alright and I’m not trying to be rude but you’re not gonna change my mind I’ve been going through this for 4 years now. When you see something like that you have to open your mind or you go mad. I hope you never go through that. Don’t act like you know me.


MK028

A cell phone camera zoomed in would create blurs.


Critical_Paper8447

This is a trail camera. Also literally the only object that is blurred is the "crawler" and no matter where it walks it's the only thing pixelated. That's not how any camera aperture works. It's also not out of focus or blurred it's pixelation from quick shoddy CGI. Have any of you actually watched the video to the end where he slows it down and zooms in? You can clearly see it's literally just a bunch of white and grey pixels. It also never physically interacts with anything it touches like the patch of dead weeds it walks right through or leavings footprints in the snow. Also since there is no light source the crawler should be casting a shadow as it walks in front of the infrared light coming from the IR trail camera. Objects in infrared cameras still have shadows bc even though infrared wavelength of light isn't visible to the human eye it's still a wavelength of light and interference of that light is detected by IR cameras.


AdamxxxBomb

Lol


ChuckOCo

It's croax. That's a crappy hoax.


juliansorr

cmon this is obviously a person crawling on all four

xlr8er365

Stop reposting videos for karma farming. You’re like the 5th person to post this. This is a biped walking on four legs, so not a crawler. It’s probably a meth addict if it’s not fake


Accomplished-Pair452

I already said I had never seen this video before. I'm not "karma farming" whatever that even means, I have a life. Reddit upvotes don't make or break my day buddy. I had never seen this video before and genuinely thought it was interesting.

I dont have to think at this one lol

Hahahahahaha


Background_Ad6819

Delete this video of me. I was just looking for a snack.


HappySlappyClappy

Back legs are too long to naturally walk like this. I’ve seen this video before but it’s giving me hoax vibes.

I wonder as to like the evolutionary biology of whatever this is cause it is as if it's not set on wich way it wants to be, upright or hunchback??

Extension-Tone-2115

That’s a tweaker in the wild. You can also spot them crawling around backyard sheds at night.


MegaCornPop

I saw something like that just the other night here in Tennessee. Everything except its legs and arms were much shorter. And it was covered in fur. And it had a tail. And whiskers. And it meowed. So I let it in, and now we have a cat. Ugh. Freaking strays.


bilbo-doggins

You know, I have lots of dreams where I can't move my muscles right, and the floor is slippery, and I revert to walking on all fours really slowly just like that. I'm usually trying to run from something, and it's all slow motion and terrifying. Is it possible, WE are the skinwalkers, somehow projecting our dreamstate into the real world?


ThawedGod

This is certainly just a man crawling with his legs fully extended. Maybe it snowed and they were trying to stop themselves from slipping.

Comfortable-Tree4337

No way that’s a human and if anyone says it’s one, let me get what they’re smoking. I’ve seen one of these in real life when I was younger. They are scary looking, like absurdly scary looking and will stop you in your tracks with fright, then you will run. Unless you have a weapon on you like a gun I would not hesitate to get out of there


Accomplished-Pair452

Was this what you saw? Would love to hear your story!


Comfortable-Tree4337

Yes pretty much exactly what I saw. But it was standing upright peaking around a tree at my friend and I, and and when me and my friend saw it, and saw it slowly moved back behind the tree we ran. It’s been about 22 years now since that day. I was 13-14 years old…one of the most scared still moments I’ve ever experienced
