Watch: Mystifying Three-Legged Man Filmed at Canadian Railway Crossing

By Tim Binnall

A strange video circulating online shows what appears to be a three-legged man casually strolling around at a railway crossing in Canada. The peculiar scene was reportedly filmed earlier this month in the community of Peterborough when a passing train caused a motorist to stop their car. While waiting at the crossing, the witness said, "this guy hopped out of his car and it took me a second to notice, but for some reason, he had three legs." As seen in the video captured by the motorist, the mystifying man was even wearing what one presumes were specially-designed three-legged pants and a shoe on each foot.

According to the witness, the odd individual eventually "just casually hopped back in his car and we went on our way," wondering what they just saw. To that end, given the circumstances surrounding how the sighting unfolded, perhaps the most plausible scenario is that the 'three-legged' man was a well-crafted prank that just so happened to wind up going viral because the motorist managed to film their brief encounter with the 'wondrous' individual.
