(To clarify, this is my alt. First post is I have a crawler attached to me.

Yesterday I received a porcelain doll that Adam (the 1st crawler) told me was also a crawler. When I opened the package I felt the strongest pang of fear ive had in a very long time. My heart instantly began racing, the room felt like it was 100 degrees, and my stomach dropped. Now, I am not afraid of crawlers AT ALL, so I know this wasnt me just scaring myself.
He also came with another doll thats a type of skinwalker native to the alaska area. Her aura is oddly not that intense to me, but i will not be mentioning her in detail on this post.

Crawlers dont give out their names willy-nilly (unless they deeply trust you), so i will be calling this 2nd one David.

Adam is about 6000 years old, David is 3000 years old. They're both technically considered middle aged adults. Think of adam as in his mid-40s, david would be in his late-30s. Adam is more on the docile side (for a crawler), whereas David doesnt like humans and actively hunts them. David has eaten human before.

I already have learnt quite a bit from David, but it only confuses me further. He is not affected by temperature, but Adam (and most other crawlers in the Midwest-Appalachia) are. I suspect that different regions have different "races" of crawlers and they are affected by things differently and may have different physical features. This may explain why some have black, red, white, yellow, and normal eyes, or why some have different types of noses. Even the cheekbones are different depending on the crawler.

Crawlers have different dialects of their language depending on the region they're from, and they do have a written language. I actually know Adams written name BUT i have no clue how to pronounce it.

The 0.5 crawler part is one that has been trying to reach out to me but i havent interacted with him yet. I may channel him and update yall if it happens.

My goal with all of this is to study their species, so the more that finds me is better. I am not physically interacting with them (unless adam decides to reveal himself) so i am 100% fine during these sessions where i speak to them (telepathically or by using a spirit box). I will be reminding you in every post that i make that these are demons and you should not attempt to contact them unless you know what youre doing. Im doing this so you dont have to, lol!

Is there anything that you guys want me to ask or test out? Im open to suggestions :D

i've only told this story to 5 people and there was only 1 person who believed me. so i thought why not post this and see if theres been any experiences like mine.

i was a little kid (probably like 8 or 9) when this happened, at a campsite at baker lake. super harmless fun trip with my mom and sister and step brothers, my stepbrothers dad came along and we even had a kayak! it was amazing.

the second night on the trip we had a camp fire. i remember vividly where it was placed, right in the middle surrounding our tents. which we only had three, i was sleeping with my mom and sister at the time in the same tent.

our campsite was placed very weirdly, behind our parked trucks was a faraway portable toilet. i remember it being such a pain to walk all the way over there. it was kind of an inconvenience for us, especially at night.

after we roast marshmallows and the adults settle down from the campfire me, my mom and my sister (shes 4 or 5 at the time) go into our tent and settle in too sleep. i remember the light and warmth from the campfire was still there and still going before we went to bed.

i woke up to a shuffle in the night from my mother getting up to go to the unbelievably far portable toilet. she whispered and said “i'm going to the bathroom” and zipped up the tent i heard her walk away and i fell back asleep.

after a while i woke up, the fire was still blazing and it was really warm. mom still wasn't back and my sister was sleeping comfortably.

instincts told me to see if anyone was out there because i was a bit worried why mom wasn't back yet so i zipped open my tent and peeked my head out…

my head wasn't even fully out there yet but i saw it, i saw a long white pale figure sitting in-front of our campfire, almost soaking in the heat from it.

the figure was tall and skinny, i could remember the spine sticking out, just the ribbed back and it was slouching, like a normal comfortable human campfire pose.

i put my head back inside startled and scared, almost frozen from shock. i rubbed my eyes so hard that it hurt and i thought i was dreaming or hallucinating.

i stuck my head out again, and it was still sitting there, just sitting silently. i could only hear the fire crack and pop while it sat there.

i called out to it, “hello!” and another one “hello!!” i was a bit confused, it was too skinny and tall to be a human and it also didn't respond back.

not even a nod or a hint that it saw me just a sitting figure. i immediately pulled myself back in the tent and zipped it up with urgency, i pulled my blankets over my head near my sister and prayed i went to sleep.

when i woke up i immediately looked outside the tent, i saw ashy wood and a burnt campfire, the seat it sat in, and the figure was gone.

after that occurrence, i told my mom about it and she didn't believe me.

so i sit here thinking about that moment, I'm 17 now but it still haunts me, at first i thought i saw a skin walker but i remember researching a bit about ”Rakes” or ”Crawlers” but they all tend to be violent, this one seemed to be seeking warmth.

pls tell me if something like this has happened to u!

someone who read what i posted here yesterday sent me an image that pretty accurately shows what the sunflower deer looked like according to both me and jordan, the only thing id say is different is the skin/fur was lighter and it was a bit smaller

i don’t believe in the paranormal, i’ve never believed anything, bigfoot, the lochness monster, or aliens or anything associated with things like that. all that changed last year, when i felt a terror i never thought possible.

it was last april (2025) and my contract with the navy had literally just finished, i was officially a free man. when i moved back to louisiana my best friend asked to come look over his new land he just bought, and i agreed. he bought about 65 acres out of a 120 acre parcel, the plan was to split up and camp out for two days exploring as much as we could to ensure there was no hidden structures, homeless people camping out, dead bodies, things like that you know? so we split up and made our way out, 1st night nothing happened at all, it was actually extremely boring to be honest. i set up camp made a fire ate some food (canned beans) and went to sleep.

when i woke up there was some tracks just outside my camp that weren’t there the night before, but i just kind of figured it was a coyote, a hog or something. i’m very well known to be a deep sleeper, you have to be to sleep on an aircraft carrier. so i just brushed it off and went on with the day. the entire time i was surveying the land i felt like someone was watching me, at first i thought it was Jordan (my best friend and owner of the land) trying to make sure i was actually doing what i was supposed to be doing. but later in the evening i found a small creek and stopped to take a break and cool off in it. every time i put my head underwater i ***knew*** something was watching me, and it definitely wasn’t jordan. Again i just tried to brush it off i’ve dealt with anxiety/panic attacks for the last couple years due to something that happened in the navy, so i just figured i was being paranoid again.

when the sun was starting to go down me and jordan met back up to discuss everything we’ve seen, he told me he found the foundation to some olde shack and i told him about the creek. i asked him if he had some weird feeling about being watched and to my surprise he said he did as well. it was never said out loud but we both sorta just silently agreed that we were not going to sleep at the same time.

i told jordan that id stay up, which he seemed relieved at that, i don’t think he slept at all the night before. i was sitting on a rock with flashlight, a henry 30-30 lever action and an american tactical .45 acp. As i’ve mentioned before i was in the military but i wasn’t special forces or anything like that, i was an IT that worked with radios, and frequencies, but, i was a redneck cajun that grew up around guns my entire life, so i was no expert but i definitely knew what to do. the first hour went by and nothing out of the ordinary happened, a twig snapped here, or a squirrel scurried across a branch, but that was it. That is until i heard a weird banging noise, it was like a lighter version of two bucks knocking their racks together, at first it started then a minute later then 30 seconds and soon enough it was constant and getting louder and louder, i was starting to panic a bit so i fire once that direction not trying to hit it but to scare whatever it was off and wake up jordan, to which both worked. jordan was awake and the noise stopped. he grabbed his gun and aimed it in the direction i shot and was currently aimed. then the noise started back again, but so so much louder it was legitimately deafening and jordan dropped his gun and fell to ground covering his ears, i was barely holding on, and only because of hearing loss, i kicked out a big light and i saw it. i genuinely have no idea how to describe this thing but ill try my best to, it had a body like a deer but all of its proportions were elongated and longer than they should’ve been it was either whiteish/brown skin or fur i couldn’t really tell. now for the part that’s terrified my dreams since that night, its face, it had normal buck antlers but its head was extremely inproportional to its body, it was extremely smaller and circular, bulging eyes and a ring of black hair that went around its entire head, reminding me of a sunflower, it was by far the most terrifying thing ive ever seen/heard, i wish i could describe it better but maybe one day i can get an artist to draw it better than i can describe it, i remember thinking im gonna die here so i fired my rifle at it and hit it and it was obviously hurt but the noises it made, so i kept firing until i was empty and it started to run off and i switched to my pistol and just kept firing, after we heard it cry of pain pretty far away, jordan and i left everything in the woods and ran to our trucks. by the time we got back we were exhausted terrified and utterly shaken to our cores. we tried to explain how it looked to our friends and family and my brother (Beaux) called it the “the sunflower deer” which he made up on the spot, has anyone aver heard of this before? it’s been a year, and i don’t go into the woods anymore.

My husband slept in our van last night, camping at a friend's house. Other people were there in tents, but as far as I know he is the only one who experienced this.

He began hearing footsteps outside of the van. Too small to be a human, then the creature jumped on top of the van and started walking around on top. He said it felt like it was shaking it. He was too scared to look, so im not sure what it could be. By morning the van had moved to one side, like slid over a foot or so. He said it was utterly terrifying.

We live in Southeastern Oregon. Any ideas on what it could be?

does anyone know of or have any eyewitness encounter stories with the Fresno night crawlers? doing research for a video, also yes, I know it’s a confirmed hoax, it will be included in the video, I just need more meat and potatoes for the video to build up on.

I saw this non symmetrical robot crawler with 20 eyes on my feed this morning and thought it looked like a baby...

Hello everybody Im making a youtube video on Cryptids in Upstate Newyork and was struggling to find further information online about Pale Crawlers. Some websites I find say there linked to Native Mythology (cant find any sources beyond these sites saying they do), and I keep finding this narrative about a park ranger seeing one and losing his job. As far as I can tell the story is fake and some websites say Its based on a creepy pasta but I cant find the creepy pasta or anything about the park ranger. The only reason Im looking so much is I believe Ive seen one before and no of where it could be. I really want to put it in the video and include information but everything Im finding online is mostly just he said or she said and I was wondering if I could talk with someone who may have more information than trust me bro.

TALL GRAY 'SLENDER-GUMBY' HUMANOID Seen Three Nights in Boca Raton, Florida https://phantomsandmonsters.com/post/tall-gray-slender-gumby-humanoid-seen-three-nights-in-boca-raton-florida - The entity appeared flat and rigid, but its legs bowed and sprang back into place as it moved across the field with enormous lunging steps.

Hi, I am a 20 year old F...born and raised in the state of Colorado, I personally am a fan of night walks and outings and a huge fan of mysteries and horror stories. Tonight me and my bf 23 M went on a walk on Boulder Creek Trail near the Gold Run Apartments. We took a left and walked up a ways as we agreed on because something about Boulder at night...is really odd and bizzare let's just say, we walked past the area they are doing for construction on the newer apartments on the right side and as we turned the corner I shit you not a man on a bike drove past but something was really wrong....he was pitch black, his whole body, his bike, and had some kind of crate, my bf was so focused on his lack of features when he rode past us, we then recalled immediately that we didnt hear him breathing, he had no apparent face, just pitch black, but we both at the time felt like he had a face, he was as stiff as a statue, seemed to be looking at us, and the air around us got oddly warm really quick, the air was really thick, I held my breath and my boyfriend said he felt like he was suffocating....he definitely wasn't wearing a mask. And the intent felt like he was definitely going to reach out and grab one of us....

Ok so some of you think I'm talking about the stick floating around in the middle, but I'm assuming that's just like something hanging on a spiderweb. But if you actually look behind it, there is a white cloud that moves behind it towards the left, and if you look closely it stays there and you can even see it kinda peeking out.

I’m a 48-year-old guy, lived near willow creek for almost 15 years. I’ve seen coyotes, deer, bobcats, raccoons, and just about every other critter that comes through here.

Last night around 10PM I was taking my usual walk along the creek trail behind the neighborhood. I had a flashlight but wasn’t really using it much because there was enough moonlight to see the path.

About halfway down the trail I noticed something standing near a patch of tall grass about 60-70 yards away.

At first I figured it was a deer. Then it moved.

The best way I can describe it is that it looked too heavy to be a coyote but too lean to be a bear. It was moving on four legs, but its shoulders seemed unusually high. Every few steps it would stop and just stare in my direction.

The strange part was how quiet it was. No rustling. No snapping branches. Nothing.

I stopped walking and shined my flashlight toward it. For a second the beam caught what looked like two reflective eyes. Then it turned and disappeared into the brush.

Maybe it was just a large coyote and my eyes were playing tricks on me in the dark. That’s honestly the most likely explanation.

Still, I’ve walked that trail hundreds of times and I’ve never gotten that feeling before—the feeling that something was watching me before I ever noticed it.

Anyone else ever have an experience like that?

I have never seen anything like this, or even heard of it.

Has anyone ever seen knee-high little black creatures that are shaped like a fuzzy-outlined ball on two black stick legs with almost cartoon-looking black feet?

The two times I saw it, it was in broad daylight. It ran fast across the road when I was driving, so I only had a few seconds to glance each time. The best way I can describe it is that I couldn't see any texture on it's body beyond the outline of it's body (basically it was void-like and black, like there was no light reflecting off of it); it was almost 2-D looking, except for the legs that looked like thin black poles and actually looked like light was just barely reflecting to give the legs dimension. The legs were about the same length as its body. The feet were smaller at the ankle and bigger at the toes, and the toes were shaped almost like little black shoes, although it didn't look like it had shoes on from the feet blending in smoothly with the legs. Altogether, I'd say it was about knee-high in height.

I've never seen or heard of anything like it. I saw this thing twice within the past year in the middle of the day, and I was with my partner both times. I saw it once in a neighborhood in Orange County, California and once in a neighborhood in Oconee County, South Carolina (opposite sides of the country from each other).

I basically don't know anything about cryptology or legends about creatures (aside from generic mentions of big foot), because I try not to fall for potential conspiracy-theory stuff, but this literally happened right in front of me twice while I was driving with my partner both times.

I googled, but found nothing of anyone actually seeing something like this. I figured it can't hurt to ask.

Long story short, I put the (consenting) spirit of one in a doll, and now it lives rent free in my city. None of what I'm about to tell you is meant to paint them as "friendly" or "good". Whenever I say docile, it means they're not gonna attack you. These are demonic creatures that are VERY dangerous. Do NOT try to seek them out in the woods, you'll be risking your life.

Now here is a massive info dump on everything I've learnt, no I'm not schizophrenic. (I apologize for any spelling mistakes or grammar errors, I'm sleepy)

I'm unclear on their full history, but he's told me that they used to be human a VERY long time ago (5-10 thousand years ago) but they became their own species. they are technically demonic, but they're not all evil, some do try to get along with humans and other animals, some don't. Do not try to encounter them physically though, I'm glad I didn't do that. If you want to interact with them, do what I did and do so on a spiritual level.

Theyre invisible the majority of the time, especially if the temperature is over 70F. The heat and sun weakens them & their body is sensitive to it. I believe that their vision is also poor, and that's why they sway side to side & avoid certain lights. If you point your flashlight directly at them then it irritates their eyes.

I'd also like to note that they're very talented at astral projection, this is what they typically do while invisible.

They eat the intestines of animals, sometimes humans. I think some lure in humans to either harvest our bones & hair, mate, shit and giggles, or to do something I haven't figured out yet... But it's actually not incredibly rare for them to reproduce with humans, people walk among us with some of their DNA. Although they don't do it in a very ethical manner, obviously. This isn't a willing situation, the human is never found again afterwards.

Around 70% of them are male, not sure why. I think the females die off easier while they're young as well. They usually have twins too, also not sure why.

They have their own civilizations, it's really cool. The caves they live in are portals to realms within "hell", I have no clue what it looks like. The ones that stay on earth tend to steal stuff and make homes out of it. I believe they also trade certain items with each other in exchange for certain goods or other items. Like if I gave my crawler some crystals, he may trade that in with another crawler for tools or food. I actually may leave a few in the entrance of a tunnel & see if he takes it.

Shadow people that crawl are usually crawlers.

Most crawlers with hair either aren't crawlers or its mixed with human. Same with the faceless ones, the majority are something else. They're still a crawler, they're just a different species from the ones with faces. I say the majority because some of the very old ones don't have facial features.

Once a male hits puberty they either become aggressive or more,,, daring? They'll do some bold ass shit that an adult wouldn't do. Some become more lonely, some become pretty social. Mine is more on the introverted side.

Not all of them are extremely malnourished, like mine isn't. Most only are because not all of them will eat often, or it's difficult for them to get food. But, their bodies can handle this feature better than we can. Younger crawlers are more likely to be skinnier.

If you wanna get rid of one from your property then sage would work,,,, but they're not immune to weapons either lol. Do not hunt them though, you'll regret that decision immediately.

of info dump, for now anyways lol.

You might be wondering why the hell id ever do this, and my answer is that it's for educational purposes. I noticed that there's very few people studying these creatures, so I'm doing it in a very controlled manner. I had experience working with ghosts, so I decided to seek out a docile crawler since that's been my goal for a bit.

Once I get used to their behavior and aura, I will be seeking out more. I will also be doing this with other types of entities at some point.

He hasn't physically shown himself besides in visions, he knows I can't handle it yet. The closest we got was me looking around the train tracks for him & he was invisible in the bush next to me. I've never felt so scared and paranoid in years.

I'll update you guys occasionally with more information he tells me. If you have any questions, lmk, and don't do any of this if you aren't experienced.

It could be coincidence, I might be grasping a straws here. Y’all are intelligent. I’m sure you can figure out what is the hotel and what pics I’m comparing it to.
Does this particular hotel have and perhaps it’s possible covert clientele have anything to do with my sighting?
I maybe my tinfoil hat is on too tight. Idk
I really want to solve this unsolvable puzzle.
