Does anyone know what kind of creature i found in my garden? It is about 8 inches long. It is almost as skinny as a thread. It does not appear to have legs. It moves in a weird way. Thanks.

It is skinnier than a fishing line.

It is much, much skinnier than an inchworm. IT IS ABOUT THE THICKNESS OF A THREAD.

Is it in water, I think it may be commonly called a hair or wire worm.

Sounds like an inchworm. Despite the name, it is actually a lizard without legs.
Then and again, could just be a snake

Definitely an elephant hawk moth larva -Deilephila elpenor. Quite common this time of year when searching for places to pupate. Often picked up by birds, which, alarmed by the realistic eye-spots, drop them in the middle of gardens. The moth is very attractive - pale green with pink markings.

Whom ever answered flatworm is correct. Focus your efforts on getting ride of them without causing harm to your landscape. Are you using too much nitrogen based materials?
