A strange piece of home security camera footage circulating online appears to show a pair of bipedal humanoid creatures lurking in the driveway of a home in Texas. The curious video was reportedly filmed outside of a residence in Dallas late last month and was posted to Reddit this week by the bewildered homeowner who was hoping that someone could identify the oddities. In the footage, the diminutive 'visitors' can be seen seemingly scurrying around on two feet at the end of a driveway before disappearing behind a car.
Some observers online have suggested that the anomalous forms could be small humanoid creatures which exist in the folklore of cultures around the world. Known as a Chaneque in Mexico, a Tukoloshe in Zimbabwe, and a Puckwudgie among some Native American tribes, these mysterious dwarf-like beings exist in a realm somewhere between cryptozoology and the spirit world with many legends ascribing sinister motives to the entities.
Meanwhile, skeptical viewers have offered a more down-to-Earth explanation for what was filmed by the security camera by arguing that the creatures are probably just birds hopping around in the driveway late at night. Others have suggested that the anomalies are, in fact, merely a CGI creation and that the puzzling footage is simply a clever hoax. What's your take on the weird video?
