History

Location of Fresno, California

While the exact date of the first known footage said to depict Fresno nightcrawlers is unknown, The Odyssey Online reported that the footage dates back to the 1990s.[2] The footage is claimed to have resulted from an anonymous home owner in south Fresno, California having installed surveillance cameras to capture evidence of neighborhood dogs trespassing in his yard.[3] The video, which was obtained from one of the individual's security cameras, shows two pale, long-legged entities striding across the lawn.[2]

In 2011, when security officials of Yosemite National Park were reportedly hoping to identify a group of vandals who had been damaging and thieving private property, a pair of bipedal humanoids with similar appearances to those shown in the original Fresno footage were captured on park security cameras.[2][4] The beings have reportedly been recognized by at least one local Native American tribe, and certain Native American wood carvings have been noted as bearing a significant resemblance to the Fresno nightcrawlers.[2][5]

The original Fresno surveillance footage was featured on the second episode of the first season of the paranormal investigation television series Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files, which originally aired in 2010.[6][7]

In 2018, the Fresno nightcrawler was included as a vinyl figure in Cryptozoic Entertainment's Cryptkins blind box toy line.[8][9]
