A strange piece of security camera footage from a home in California shows a pair of mysterious creatures scurrying through a backyard and some have likened the odd interlopers to gnomes. The very weird scene was reportedly captured last week outside of the home of Debbie Bernard in the community of Bonadelle Ranchos. In the admittedly difficult to discern video, two seemingly bipedal creatures run past a patio set in view of the security camera before disappearing into the darkness and leaving the bewildered homeowner scratching her head.
Conceding that "this is a terrible video," Bernard shared the footage online in the hopes that someone could identify whatever has crossed through her backyard that evening. In keeping with the nature of social media, the veritable Rorschach test resulted in an array of suggestions from viewers online. The theories offered ranged from the fantastic, such gnomes, elves, or aliens, to the prosaic, including ducks, squirrels, or owls. What do you think popped up in Bernard's backyard last week?
