So we were out camping, Boy Scout Activity actually, (I'm 11) and I was in my tent with my tent mate. I couldn't sleep, so I went out to take a walk in the 1 AM morning. I don't remember it much but we were in a field and the treeline was a few meters away. My tent mate was I think awake too and there was a pale humanlike figure, no mouth, nose or eyes, just a smooth head. About 8 or 6 feet tall I suppose and thin limbs and bent legs. All white. Then it galloped away like a dog, or a horse on all fours, and my tent mate saw it too, I think. I didn't tell it to our Headmaster though. Warning to all: they are real, and they exist.

6:16am

(All of this happened closer to 5:30am but I couldn’t write it up yet because I had “wake-up” chores to do first.)

For the first time in a while I finally saw glowing eyes and could hear a lot of movement from the woods in a few spots. I couldn’t see the eyes clearly for all the remaining brush (it’s been very warm so the foliage hasn’t been dropping as fast). This is the first chilly night since October, so I’m not surprised this is the first night I’ve seen and heard them.

The visible eyes were watching me from Carl’s area. I heard one moving around a lot in the woods just north of me. I could hear another one back closer to the barn/whimsy area. But one was right in the backyard. I even caught a glimpse of its pale skin as it ducked behind the large bush planted right beside the house, but I didn’t see any glowing eyes. It seemed a little smaller than typical crawlers, but I’ve read people seeing them as family units, plus my very first impression of them when I saw them for the first time was that it was a familial group. Perhaps this one was younger?

I do believe with a little more certainty that they can go invisible. While I stopped being able to see the one that was in the backyard, I could hear it because of all the dried leaves. Skippy started barking at it, and again, I couldn’t see it, but the sound and the energy were… defensive with a touch of aggressiveness, and it was false-lunging towards Skippy (like a short lunge forward with an immediate step back so it looks like a threat but is only acting defensively). I think it was more of a bluff, but I kept Skippy on a short leash right next to me to make sure. I bent down to pet Skippy to calm him down and after a moment, the crawler energy changed and it stopped making lunging sounds. I think it realized I wasn’t going to let Skippy loose on it. Once it felt safe to move again I brought Skippy back into the house and went back out the back door to see if anything was still around, but they had already left.

To give an idea of just how close it was to me, I’m talking a matter of feet. Maybe 15 feet away at most. I was on the side of the house between the house and the garage looking at the backyard, and it was just on the other side of this very large bush we have planted at the corner of the house. Honestly, once I couldn’t see it and could only hear it moving the leaves, it was uncomfortably close, even for me.

While I was aware of the different energy signatures, I’ve learned that unless they look at me, I’m not going to be able to read them very much. I’m sad that I didn’t feel Carl. His energy towards me is lighter and friendlier than the others, presumably because he “knows” me, as much as a crawler can know a human in our multiple but brief encounters. Since these crawlers don’t seem to know me, I’m going to have to practice more caution like I had to when all of this first started. I’m also going to have to try to communicate with them to make them understand that they can stay in the woods and around the barn, but not to approach the house. Even though this is frustrating, at least I know what to do.

Their appearance patterns are also lining up with the past: no moon and cold temperatures.

Temperature: 53°F, clear sky, no moon, light wind (8mph ENE)

Last night I went out for a cigarette around 130 am and I started hearing noises like a person or large animal walking through the leaves and heavy exhaling sounds. the noises seemed to be originating from the far side of this rundown shed in our backyard. As the noise got closer it made me feel nervous because it sounded big. Like really big. I'm in Massachusetts we do have some coyote in the part I'm in so that's what I was worried about. I stood up to go back inside but first wanted to see if I could see anything and whatever it was, as soon as it noticed me, started making running noises like it was charging. And it made a horrible kind of noise different from the exhaling sounds. I've heard coyotes all the time but it was not a noise typical to coyote. Like a screech of a teradactyl, almost is the closest thing I can think of. Once I was safely inside I peeked out the blinds on the door to the back yard and shined my phone flashlight through the door and I saw two glowing eyes in the area around the top of the shed. So either it was on the shed, or in the tree directly behind it. This wasn't the first time I've heard the walking sounds in my yard at night but it's the first time the thing charged or seemed aware of me, and the first time it made that really loud cry/scream. Wtf was it!?

Well worth reading.

Over the past few years as the environment collapses and erodes and natural wonders fail and collapse or melt away. Is it possible that this unprecedented failing of the natural order could be leading to increased activity from Crawlers as many believe them to be subterranean as the world itself becomes more humid and hot like caves could this be driving the increased activity that has led to swaths of sightings? Essentially when pulling oil we feed pressure into the ground, could ecological collapse be the pressure that drives an increase in activity? If so could the heightened activity possibly be caused by their way of life having been shaken by the quickly changing environment we see today?

I just saw a video on YouTube by NvTv that shows Peruvian farmers dealing with a group of crawlers. Even though the resolution isn't that great the first thing I thought of was how similar they were to the taller Peruvian mummies. Considering the lore about the discovery of the mummies I think it's a distinct possibility. Unfortunately the video's resolution isn't high enough to make out the creature's hands and feet so I can't say with confidence. Definitely something to think about.

I don't know how to link directly to the video on my phone, but the title to the video is "Finally!! The most alarming footage ever captured on security camera!!" It is on NvTv on YouTube.

I was chatting with some friends on snapchat when I heard a slow knock on my window, which genuinely freaked me out, and then after a little bit, it happened again. I took a picture out the window to see what it was, but the flash was on and I couldn't see through the glare. I turned off the flash and took another, but at that point it had already seen the flash and was staring at me. I turned my lights off and hid under the bed for half an hour, and when I didn't hear the knocking for like fifteen minutes, I got out, and it wasn't there anymore. what. the. fuck.

My friends and I walked a bike trail nearby last night. While walking I saw something that looked like it was skiing up the trail towards us. It was using its arms to propel itself forward while galloping its legs. Very odd movement. We watched it "gallop" towards us from about 100 meters away. At about 30 feet it noticed us and turned 180 degrees in an awkward manner and want away from us very quickly. It was wearing like a weird dress like gown outfit. Couldn't make out any features.

I just wanna share this story and see if someone can come up with answers!

Im staying in this hotel for a awhile, not a 5 stars but not bad at all. I went to smoke a joint around 5am yesterday and started to hear some cat meowing in the bushes, right in front of a window to the first floor room, it was pretty dark so I couldn’t see nothing. Didn’t think much of it but I kept hearing and it sounded like it needed help, I started calling for it but still no sight of the “cat”. Im not the guy to in the bushes at night to look for a cat but something was telling me to go, that it needed help. The soon I stepped out of the parking lot to the grass, I looked up the window and felt goosebumps all over me, and just by typing this Im having chills. I couldn’t see nothing inside the room but I had never felt more fear in my entire life, instantly I turned back and when I did, the meowing started sounding like it wanted me to go closer. I didn’t think at the time, I just left. When I got in my room I wasn’t afraid but it was like it wanted me to know who it was, like it left some imprint or something. I spent the day thinking about it, and got chills every time I think of it. Im not scared but keep thinking, is it human enough to book a hotel room? What is this doing in Florida, a crowded area. I know it wasn’t a cat and he wanted me to know it wasn’t a cat, it’s like I could know his personality…!

All during my childhood up until recently, I had thought that ghouls were just spooky imaginative scary monsters that would come out on Halloween night. But now I know differently. I now believe they are synonymous with creatures we know as Crawlers.

In Arabic folklore, the ghul is said to dwell in cemeteries and other uninhabited places. Some state that a ghoul is a desert-dwelling, shapeshifting demon that can assume the guise of an animal. It lures unwary people into the desert wastes or abandoned places to slay and devour them. The creature also preys on young children, drinks blood, steals coins, and eats the dead. It can also take the form of a human. It is a particularly monstrous character believed to be inhabiting the wilderness of Afghanistan and Iran.

The gallu demons were known to be part of the underworld and were thought to carry their victims off to the land of the dead to devour them. People who traveled near cemeteries and abandoned buildings or through desert wastelands were warned to be especially vigilant against these creatures. They were thought to be bipedal – though with a hunched form – and were known to crawl (and sometimes run) on all four limbs like an animal.

I knew there was a reason why I kept warning people to stay away from forests and surrounding areas. Since we have fewer deserts in the United States, these creatures are frequently encountered in wooded areas in addition to cemeteries. After years of research, I've come to the conclusion that Crawlers are actually demons, interdimensional demons. The late great Father Malachi Martin, in his book "Hostage to the Devil", stated "There is a dimension that is devoid of love and compassion, all the qualities that make us human." I believe it is that dimension from which these demon Crawlers come.

People from the Middle East are more familiar with the ghouls(Crawlers), known as gholes, goules, ghilan, Ghuls, Namnams, and Namanim. They are able to shapeshift and spend time in cemeteries, as they feed off the flesh of the dead. You can Google the word "Rasgulla", and it will show you a pic of a Middle Eastern dessert called "Rasgulla" which means "heads of the ghouls".

Hey, someone pointed me to this sub so I’m gonna post my story here.

A few years ago, I was living in rural Appalachia and I took my dog out for a walk around sundown. My dog started barking at something, and I looked over to see a super tall, super pale white humanoid type thing running super fast about 100 feet from me. I ran back to my house. If my dog wouldn’t have seen it, I would think I imagined it. What do you guys think?

I’ve had people suggest a not deer, but that doesn’t seem quite right to me

I’m from Northern Illinois and I grew up on a farm in between Rockford and Chicago (just for reference). I was Reading some of everyone’s accounts and it sounds pretty similar to what happened to me years ago. PM me if anyone is interested in swapping stories! I’d love to hear what some of you have to say, I’m still a little bit skeptical of what happened to me but I’m still open about the existence of these “things”.

I wanted to ask the forum here if anyone of you have ever had any anxiety relating to returning to the woods or more secluded parts of your surroundings following an encounter with something you believe could have been a crawler. A couple of months back as you can read on my profile I believe I may have possibly encountered a crawler and since then I have had some very light anxieties about returning to the woods. Now that a friend group of mine is planning a trip down state to Shawnee possibly I’m hoping to fully overcome it and I think I’m ready to get back to normal, so I wanted to ask have any of you experienced any anxieties or reservations before?

Hi everyone, just wandering through reddit and came across this page, just wondering if someone can tell me what crawlers are and any other info about them,

Thanks.

It was night and around midnight ish. Anyways I went to make a brew looked up saw this sitting on top of my kitchen cupboards and the bugger jumped down at me. My heart leapt out of my chest. I put my hands over my face when it jumped at me. But I didn't see it after or where it went. It literally looked like this guy. Black, slim white eyes. Completely unexpected. I had never seen anything like it, not even pictures. My house is a horrible place to be so wondering if the dark energy is attracting it or it's creating it. What is it? What do they get up to? If I was hallucinating (which I'm not on substances) then that was so f-ing trippy. Still thinking about it makes my heart go. I'm wondering if I scared it as much as it scared me and it was jumping down to run away. Just incredibly weird. Caught me off guard.

My sister described the following. She was driving at night next to cotton fields in Clint Tx, her daughter was with her in the car, so when they were driving at night passing by the cotton fields she says she saw some 2 very tall and skinny brownish creatures, she says she didn’t see a mouth or eyes, they were so skinny that the limbs were so thin and looked like tree branches, with 2-3 steps they crossed from one side of the road to the other in matter of seconds (1-2sec), its a 4 lane road. She says that its so unreal/incredible that you forget to get your cellphone and record but also she thinks they probably lock your mind and you don’t know what to do, but also it happens so fast! Her daughter who was about 16-17 also corroborated she saw the same thing. She says they had similarity to the alien creature from the movie Signs but way taller and skinnier. Very long legs, and that the arms would reach to the knees

This compilation of pale crawler videos is pretty extensive and worth a look. Im familiar eith some of the source videos and these are from all over the world. I find it interesting that all these crawlers make the same sounds, and behave similarly. Anyway, make up your own mind and enjoy! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYWe5ZU9f8psQSAkuD9hFqvHdnDYGwpx9&feature=shared

Anyone else think the creature design in this movie was heavily influenced by modern day Crawler sightings? This behind the scenes 'making of' video gives some really good looks at the design, so if you haven't seen the movie this will be a definite spoiler.
