Crawlers | True Paranormal Stories

Crawlers

Crawlers are said to be extremely thin, unearthly, humanoid creatures. With very pale, almost translucent skin, they stand at least 8 feet tall and lurk in the shadows of the night. Sometimes travelling on 2 legs, sometimes 4 they have shiny, reflective eyes and will often feast on the animals of the forest. Appearing as if out of nowhere, they are known to intimidate and in still a sense of dread in those who are unfortunate enough to see them. In 1994 a victim of such a sighting in Willow Creek, California was spending the evening in his sleeping bag, in the sunroom, under the stars at his grandparent's home. The house was a two bedroomed property situated out in the wilderness and the Trinity River almost ran through the back yard. He was awoken suddenly and for no discernible reason. Shaking off the last remnants of sleep, he was overcome by a sense of pure terror. At first, he could see no reason for this reaction but slowly lifting himself to get a better look outside, he saw a lone figure, staring at him. The creature was tall and gaunt, with human like features that looked as if they had been squashed flat. It had shining white eyes and stood around 7-8 feet tall, which the witness deduced as the chain link fence had come up to his armpits.
