'Pale humanoid' captured on trail camera in Leesburg

A Leesburg resident recently recorded a very strange clip of something moving outside his home.
The bizarre footage, which was originally sent to Lon Strickler over on the 'Phantoms and Monsters' blog, shows around one second of an anomalous figure moving very close to the camera.

The individual who recorded it, whose name has not been disclosed, had set up two trail cameras in his back yard to pick up cats, raccoons, possums and other visiting wildlife.

On this particular occasion, however, one of the cameras was triggered by something that he could not explain.

"The clip starts instantly from the beginning and that coupled by the fact that I have 3, 30-second motion sensor lights on the ground and one hanging from a tree, it makes no sense that what I am seeing could move that fast without more on film," he wrote.
"In the 2 and one half seconds you see what looks like clothing and an arm, but the arm is way too thin and no fingers or hand is seen."

"It threw me off as I have both cameras set for 16 seconds of video. Whatever this is seems to be swinging a very thin arm while running to the side of the camera."

"You need to pause it or loop it because of such a short length. Really damn weird."

You can check out the footage for yourself below (loop the first second).

Who or what could this be ?
