A day of boating at the popular Crooked Creek Recreation took a surprising turn for a Louisiana family when they spotted a figure running on all fours along the bank. The Creek, known for its clear lake, sandy beaches, and activities such as camping, fishing, and boating, is not typically associated with such rare sightings.

The family was both shocked and puzzled by the figure's appearance. Upon sharing three videos of the figure on her Facebook page, viewers were left both intrigued and disturbed. The figure, exhibiting agile movements, leapt over obstacles effortlessly.

Daire later revealed that upon getting closer to the figure, they discovered it was, in fact, a young woman. "She seemed to have been doing this for a while. She was just running on all fours, jumping over branches like a deer would. And when we asked if she was okay or needed help, she reassured us she was fine," explained the family.

It was later confirmed that the young woman, believed to be between 11-15 years old, was part of a family camping at Crooked Creek. "It seems like innocent fun for a child. We were initially shocked and concerned, thinking she might be in distress, but she's just a young girl enjoying herself."

Many on social media questioned why the conversation wasn't recorded. The family explained, "We couldn’t get close enough due to the shallow waters. And honestly, I was too caught up in the moment, trying to ensure she was okay."

Nicholas Guidry pointed out that there are individuals who train specifically to walk on all fours, though it was unexpected to see in Louisiana. This observation was confirmed by the young woman's mother who said her daughter is active in quadrobics which is a sport that involves running on all fours and leaping over objects. Individuals routinely train for years as the body position is not one that is a usual one for bi-pedal animals. There are even competitions in a similar fashion a freestyle running/parkour.
