Small Mysterious Humanoid Creature Photographed In West Virginia

The paranormal investigation group “Wild & Weird West Virginia” recently received a photograph showing a pale, humanoid figure walking through a cemetery in West Virginia.

According to local UFO researcher Stan Gordon, the photograph was taken by a child, whose identity remains undisclosed for privacy reasons.

The incident occurred on July 31, 2024, when the child was visiting a local cemetery with their mother and a group of other children. The exact location of the cemetery has not been specified.

While near the cemetery, the child noticed something unusual—a figure moving through the grass near the tombstones. Upon closer inspection, the child saw two small, pale figures, which they described as “skeleton children.”

These figures appeared to be playing, running, and jumping around, much like ordinary children. However, the absence of any accompanying adults struck the child as odd. The “skeleton children” seemed to be alone in that section of the cemetery.

The child pointed out the figures to their mother, who found them amusing at first but soon became uneasy the more they observed. Although the adults in the group dismissed their concerns, other children around 7-8 years old also noticed the strange figures and began watching them too.

The group observed the figures for a short time as they moved through the cemetery, and the child managed to snap a photo of them. It’s unclear why a video wasn’t taken. The figures eventually ran behind a tree and disappeared without a trace.

Afterward, the child’s family reached out to Ron Lanham, a researcher with Wild & Weird West Virginia. Interestingly, Lanham and his team had been investigating a nearby forest on the same day, following up on a strange signal that could have been related to a UFO sighting.

Lanham carefully examined the original photo, which was taken with an iPhone 15, and confirmed that the image appeared genuine. The EXIF data verified that the photo was taken at the reported time and date.

Lanham is confident that the photo wasn’t manipulated and that it does not depict a figurine or any other superimposed object. He estimates the height of the figure in the photo to be about 3 feet.
