Creepy trail cam video shows weird white 'skinwalker creature' lurking near home
Eerie trail camera footage captured in Arizona has captivated its viewers who are convinced what they're looking at may be otherworldly. Posted by Fort Apache local Danny Pusher on March 26, the clip showed a wispy figure walking through open land, seemingly appearing - and then disappearing - out of nowhere. 'I heard howling/crying the other day at 5AM, so I set up trail cam in the drainage/wash,' the caption reads. 'At 2:22AM this morning Trail Cam caught something walking in the drainage, not sure if it's skinwalker/bigfoot/lurker/someone walking the drainage/wash alone at 2:22AM with no light. I have no idea what it is, if you know let me know.' The unusual footage drew hundreds of comments — with many sharing similar experiences. 'I heard things right in the back of my shed,' one viewer wrote. 'That drainage, something always happening around that time too. Dogs crying all weird. So we are thinking to put up a security camera.' 'Last night at around midnight the dogs on our neighborhood were going crazy! When I saw this video I was like "That's what it was,"' added another. 'Last year my son and his gf saw a man running with coyotes by stago pit,' said a third. 'They said the man was running like a dog and look like he had either fur or a coyote pelt on him.' The term skinwalker comes from Navajo legend and folks tales that describe a malevolent witch or shaman who can transform into or disguise themselves as animals. In Navajo, the word is yee naaldlooshii, meaning 'by means of it, it goes on all fours.' Often linked to death and misfortune, skinwalkers have become pop culture fixtures in paranormal media and horror stories. The sighting follows a similarly strange encounter in Texas in September, when a trail cam near Dublin captured a creature that baffled experts and locals alike. The black-and-white footage showed a small animal with uneven legs and strange lumps on its back. Some viewers believed it was a skinwalker, alien or chupacabra. Michael 'Dumas' Demel, 49, from Schulenburg, shared the image widely. 'I have three different cameras at three different hunting areas – they catch coyote, deer, bobcats, rabbits, raccoons, foxes,' Demel told Pen News. 'I look at approximately 100 plus pics from the three cameras daily, but that was the only photo it showed up on.' 'My first reaction was something didn't look right, so I stopped on the picture to zoom in. My first instinct was that it was a monkey.' 'I showed it to neighbors, family and friends. I got everything from a skin-walker, a monkey, a chupacabra, an alien,' he added. 'You hear stories of chupacabra in south Texas areas.' The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department said the creature was 'too small to be a whitetail deer fawn,' but couldn't make a positive identification due to image quality. A chupacabra — Spanish for 'goat sucker' — is a mythical beast said to drain livestock of blood. Sightings date back to the 1980s in Puerto Rico, with later reports in Texas, including one in 2017 from Cuero rancher Phylis Canion, who described a bony creature with large teeth and long back legs. Demel, who's used trail cams for a decade, said the creature he captured was like nothing he'd ever seen. 'It's just out of the ordinary,' he said. 'I've seen hundreds of thousands of game pictures over the years and spent my whole life in the woods hunting – and this was a first.' Whether cryptid or coincidence, the mystery remains unsolved.
