The Creature of La Crescenta
The Mothman of West Virginia, the Jersey Devil of New Jersey and now the creature of La Crescenta?
Jay Gardiner, who works near hiking trails in La Crescenta, Calif., was taking his afternoon break when he felt he was being watched and heard something out of the ordinary. Of course, he immediately grabbed his cellphone and when he reviewed the footage later, noticed some sort of animal moving through the trees. “You can definitely see a torso and four limbs moving around and swinging around … it’s a pretty obvious kind of motion,” Gardiner said.
Though the creature isn’t identifiable, Andrew Hughan, spokesman for the Department of Fish and Wildlife, remarked, “It could be some kind of ape. It also could be a bear. It could be a large bird.” He said it is hard to determine anything from the “12 frames of cellphone video” that Gardiner shot and there hasn’t been any evidence left behind to even give an idea of what it might be. While it could be some kind of exotic pet that has escaped, Hughan continued, it’s rare for that to happen in California. “It’s an interesting mystery right at the moment and we’ll see what happens,” he added. Hughan did caution people to “not go out and look for this animal or mystery,” indicating the creature has the potential to be dangerous.
