Hikers Observe 'FRESNO NIGHTCRAWLER' In Yosemite National Park (VIDEO REFERENCE)

A hiker in Yosemite National Park recalls his sighting of, what he describes as, the Fresno Nightcrawler while on the John Muir Trail. Another hiker verified the sighting as well.

I received the following account:

"In the late summer of 2022, I had the opportunity to hike Half Dome in Yosemite. But near the end of my hike, I had a rather strange encounter. I was coming down the John Muir Trail around 6 pm (it was still light out), right after you cross the Vernal Falls Bridge, and had a clear view of the massive granite cliffs below Washburn Point, when I noticed an out-of-place object nestled in an alcove roughly half-way up the thousand-foot-tall cliffside.

It was a bright white color, whiter than any of the naturally occurring patterns on the rock, and it was shaped like two big, billowy pant legs (think MC Hammer pants) connected at the top with some sort of odd white shape where the "legs" came together. The object didn't appear to be made of any sort of fabric, however, as it didn't move or ripple in the high winds like you'd expect of a fabric. It's also worth noting that this was in September, so no snow anywhere on the mountainside. It was quite far away, but even so, I would estimate its height at around 7 or 8 feet.

I stopped my descent to stare at it for a second when another hiker passed me and stopped to strike up a conversation. I asked her if she saw "that thing" up on the cliffside, and IMMEDIATELY she pointed up at the white object and said, "Yeah, that thing that looks like a kid in a white bath towel? I was wondering if you were looking at that when I saw you stopped."

Mind you, this mountain we're looking at is HUGE. It's big enough to fill your entire field of view from where we were standing. And out of all that, she knew even before I said anything exactly what I was looking at: the weird white pant thing up on the cliff. She described it as a child in a towel I suspect because the gap between the white "pant legs" made it look like a white object wrapped around a dark object (though the dark was the same color as the rest of the recessed alcove in the cliff).

I asked her if she had ever heard of the 'Fresno Nightcrawler,' which she hadn't, and as I explained to her what they look like she kept staring at the thing on the cliffside and declared "That's exactly what I'm looking at." I kept stopping to look back at it from different angles as we descended farther down the trail, and each time the perspective shifted in such a way to confirm that it was some sort of solid object, with no markings on the granite.

I have to believe that it's some sort of strange foreign object that was planted up there or an optical illusion created by a particularly stark white piece of a granite cliff, but it was eerie how neatly it appeared to match the Nightcrawler security cam/trail cam footage." S
