Real-Life McDONALD'S 'HAMBURGLAR' Character Seen in Downtown Edmonton! OZ EFFECT?

An Edmonton, Alberta girl and her mother are downtown when she notices an individual that looks like 'The Hamburglar' character from the McDonald's ads.

1978 / Edmonton, Alberta, Canada:

Patti was in downtown Edmonton, Alberta with her mother and sister during the day. She claims that she encountered an entity that reminded her of ‘The Hamburglar’, a McDonald’s character that appeared in commercials and print advertisements starting in 1971.

“Me and my mom and my sister we were walking down the street in this old neighborhood (in Edmonton) and we turned the corner and in front of us was this man running, like, not in a pinstripe suit but in stripe pants and shirt and a black cape and a big black hat and the mask on his face and he was kind of running and I pointed to my mom, or I pointed, I'm like, ‘Mom, it's the Hamburglar!’ and she was like, ‘What are you talking about?’ He was right in front of us, not very, right in front of us but we turned the corner and he wasn't far in front of us. He was running in front of us and kept looking back and I'm like, ‘Mom, it's the Hamburglar! It's the Hamburglar!’ every time I said it, she was getting mad, like, ‘What are you talking about? Stop!’ So I didn't know what her problem was, like, why what was a big deal about me pointing out the Hamburglar?

I stopped bugging her, and I just started watching this guy. He was running down the street and he did look like ‘The Hamburglar’ but like, a man (like a live version of the cartoon character), he was running but he was running in slow motion and he'd look back at us every once in awhile while he was running. He's running in slow motion and he was even running almost side by side, I remember, with two women on the sidewalk and they didn't even notice him and it looked kind of miragey where he was, so I just kept watching. I couldn't understand. I didn't know anything about physics or anything then but it just seemed very weird to me.” He looked at them one more time before rounding the corner and vanishing... It was in slow motion and it was a mirage and there was, kind of like, he's laughing, but there was no sound and nobody else seemed to notice him.”

Patti also later mentioned that the street seemed to get quiet [editor’s note: this coupled with the mirage appearance, the slow motion movements of the entity, it sounds like the 'Oz Effect?'] when he appeared and she clarified if he was wearing a mask or not. Given her age, she was not 100% certain that he was but she believed that he might have been. The rest of the details she believes were accurate.
