A scary creature in a home security video may look like Dobby, Gollum, but probably not

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado. – A home security video of a family from Colorado Springs is really scary, but is it really about an alien creature of unknown origin, from the lions? house elf named Dobby in the series "Harry Potter" or even a being similar to Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings"? Probably not.

Vivian Gomez uploaded the weird video Sunday morning

The 10-second video clip shows a weird creature with lean legs and very big ears dancing in his driveway. 19659007] "I first saw the shadow strolling from my home, then I saw this thing … someone else l & # 39; did he see on their cameras? "asked Gomez in an article published on social networks accompanied by the odd video. She said that two other security cameras on her property had not registered the creature.

Social media has exploded with a range of responses on what the unusual picture might be, from Dobby's house elf to an alien creature.

But others have speculated that "the shadow" seen in front of her door before the creature is visible may have been that her young son came out of the house.

"Although we have not been able to definitively determine what this video shows, the film probably shows a young child silly costume dancing in the alley rather than meeting a fictional character", said Tuesday the website fact checker Snopes.com about the video.

And Gomez may have unknowingly revealed the origin of the unusual creature itself during a interview "Inside Edition."

"He likes to dance," she says. c, we'll leave it here.

Someone knows what the l & # 39; story is with that? I looked at the lady who had originally posted her on FB and she appears to be a legitimate middle-aged mother who has surprised a Dobby looking at some thing on his security camera. pic.twitter.com/i8J08fz67h
