Skin Walker Sighting true scary story

00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:10.279
Luke, sir, you're up next. Yeah, hit the music for you.

2
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:18.559
See what you got all right?
Music's coming in This story is called

3
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:25.800
skin walker sighting. I've always been
a skeptic. Ghosts, aliens, monsters,

4
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:30.640
they are all just stories to me. After what I experienced in the

5
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:37.079
Southwest, my perspective on the unknown
has been forever altered. I was on

6
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:41.399
a road trip my best friend Jake. We decided to take a detour through

7
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:47.280
the Navajo Reservation in Arizona, mainly
because of the scenic beauty and the rich

8
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:52.159
history of the area. We had
heard tales of skin walkers. We lapped

9
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.520
them off. There were myths right. Our first day on the reservation was

10
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:02.000
uneventful. We visited a few local
spots, interacted with some of the locals.

11
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:07.319
It's up camp near a canyon.
Night fell. We sat around our

12
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:12.280
campfire, sharing stories and enjoined the
serenity of the desert. Around midnight,

13
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:18.439
Jake decided to turn in. I
stayed up, mes brised by the stars.

14
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.200
The Milky Way stretched across the sky, and I felt a profound sense

15
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:29.959
of peace. That is until I
heard it. A low, guttural growl

16
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.959
echoed through the canyon. I froze, thinking it might be a coyote or

17
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:40.239
a mountain lion. But then I
heard a voice. It was distorted,

18
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:45.799
as if someone was speaking through a
broken radio, but it was unmistakably Jake's

19
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:53.840
voice. Come here, it beckoned. Confused, I turned to our tent.

20
00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:00.640
Jake was sound asleep. The voice
called out again, this time from

21
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.359
the opposite direction, grad a flashlight
and showing it towards the source. What

22
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:13.039
I saw will haunt me forever.
Standing our ridge was a figure. It

23
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:17.879
looked like a man, but his
limbs were elongated and his eyes glowed a

24
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.360
sickly yellow. He wore tattered clothing
and his skin was mottled with gray.

25
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:30.919
But the most disturbing part was its
face. It was Jake's face. I

26
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.879
stumbled back, my heart racing.
The creature mimicked Jake's voice again, Come

27
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.639
here. It took a step towards
me, its movements jerky and unnatural.

28
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.520
I bolted to the tan, shaking
Jake awake. We need to go now,

29
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:51.560
I hissed. He looked at me, confused, but the urgency in

30
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.840
my voice spurred him into action.
We backed up as quickly as we could.

31
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:01.319
The creature's voice echoing around us in
our voices, our laughter, our

32
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.919
conversations from earlier sped away in our
car, A glance in the rear view

33
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.840
mirror. Creature stood in the middle
of the road, watching us, its

34
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:15.199
yellow eyes glowing in the darkness.
We didn't stop driving until it reached the

35
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.439
nearest town. We checked into a
motel and I spent the night researching skinwalkers.

36
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.159
The legends say they were witches who
take the form of animals or people,

37
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.479
using their voices to lure victims.
I don't know what we encountered that

38
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.520
night, but I do know one
thing. Some stories are real. The

39
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:38.719
Southwest is beautiful. Hold secrets there
beyond comprehension. I'll never set foot on

40
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:45.560
that reservation again. To all of
you reading this, please be careful when

41
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:50.800
you venture into unknown territories. Some
legends are rooted in truth, and some

42
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:57.520
nightmares are very very real. Oh
so, yeah, it reminded me of

43
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.520
Fallout. Hey, smooth Skin,
you know I'm talking about New Vegas.

44
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.719
Yeah, the Ghules. Yeah,
yeah, I don't remember his name.

45
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.439
You're like, I think you could
be your companion if he always called you

46
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:12.039
smooth Skin. Yeah, that's terrifying. That so I actually don't. I'm

47
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.480
not really familiar with these kind of
stories. Skin Walker secually the first one

48
00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:21.199
I've really heard of. I am
very familiar with skin walker stories. I

49
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:27.399
read a lot of them. They
are almost all identical, like Somewhere story,

50
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.720
and uh, the Nabojo very much
believed in them, as they always

51
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.240
mimic people, like what the hell
is he doing? Yes, they would

52
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:38.639
mimic people or the mimic animals like
a deing go or not to go,

53
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.480
a coyote or some other wild dog. And then uh, but yes,

54
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.839
they would take the form of people, and they would call out at night,

55
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.120
trying to call you out there to
go visit them. And then if

56
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.600
you are out there, chances are
you would be killed. They don't.

57
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.800
More about the skin walkers if I'm
not familiar, said which legend has it?

58
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.319
Yes, a which they would,
or a tribe of which is of

59
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:05.879
some sort, or some people would
describe them as not even like humans.

60
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:12.000
It's hard to call them witches.
They practice an old magic. They are

61
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.879
able to take the form of other
people and things. Well, the question

62
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.360
why not they're true? Where they
exist, that's one thing. But I

63
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:24.480
will say that they are very much
believed in by the Native Americans in the

64
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:30.680
area. This is not something that
they talk about like two fool like tourists.

65
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.959
This is something they very much believe
in and they're very much afraid of.

66
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.600
He didn't seem very confrontational though in
this instance. So they gotta get

67
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.360
you to come to them, That's
all I think I've ever heard. That's

68
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.360
like across all the stories. They
want you to come to them and then

69
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.199
they'll catch you. Then that's why
you say, come here, come here,

70
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:55.839
have some candy. Yeah, basically, yeah, Well, just to

71
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:59.120
recap this, so what his friend
was asleep, right, so he knew

72
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.360
it absolutely was not friend, But
yes, he was asleep, and he

73
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:08.680
could hear was like a distorted version
of his friend's voice from across the campsite.

74
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.480
Did it look like his friend at
all? The face resembles a trend,

75
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:19.199
but the body was elongated limbs and
had yellow eyes and a very gray

76
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:25.439
modeled skin, almost like leather.
What I've heard the people describe it as

77
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.920
people are at I guess some questions
popping up here. Why would they need

78
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.040
you to come to them? One
person asked, there are a couple of

79
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:39.680
different reasons that I've read in different
stories from Native Americans talking about this,

80
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:45.839
and some say that it is for
food and some is for turning you into

81
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.560
a skinwalker as well. How does
one get turned into a skinwalker? And

82
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:55.279
I don't know for sure, but
I believe it is something similar like a

83
00:06:55.639 --> 00:07:00.399
like a ritual. They perform a
magical ritual. No couple of scattered stories

84
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:05.639
that read Maggie, Hey, hey, Maggie, she's asking or she says

85
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:10.759
actually more or less a statement.
They can change forms, Yes, they

86
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.839
can change forms. It's different people
and different animals. So like if I

87
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:19.439
want to be like a raccoon skinwalker, I'm just like, yeah, they

88
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:24.600
would. They can totally morph their
bone structure and and everything and kind of

89
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:30.839
yeah. Uh, they're always a
little bit off, so like slightly longer

90
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:34.360
legs, Like you see a raccoon
with like one two foot long legs,

91
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:41.040
that's a skin walker. A codi
act bear there is a nightmare enough on

92
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:44.240
it, so doesn't need to be
a skinwalker. I'm curious we have to

93
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.199
talk more about the skinwalkers one day. I'm oh, I've got a couple

94
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.399
saved for another night. You just
act like you pushed up your classes,

95
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:58.160
like you no scratches. I thought
you were just like the anime guy pushed

96
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.879
up there. Yeah. Yeah,
Jack could be proud so little memory out

97
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.399
there if he ever listened. That
was a cool story, dude. I

98
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.879
can't wait to hear more stories about
that. That's terrifying. Is there a

99
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:13.920
certain let me ask this. Yeah, someone said a kodiac back with four

100
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.160
inch legs just rolling. I guess
I don't know. That would be even

101
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.439
more terrifying. I don't know why, but that just sounds horrible, right.

102
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.639
He said it shook the trees around
him. I can't get up for

103
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.240
that. Is there a certain area
where they're more around historically speaking? Is

104
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.840
it in this area they're talking about? Yeah? The southwest United States is

105
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:41.120
a big hotbed skink. Yeah,
Western and Southwest and particular Navajo reservations and

106
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:45.799
stuff like that is where they're really
concentrated around. And there's a couple of

107
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:50.120
stories. I read one from Utah
we'll probably talk about on another episode.

108
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:56.039
That was a very pretty spooky story. It's one of those things it's like

109
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:00.559
like that can't be real, right, But then you have like hundreds of

110
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:05.480
years of people talking about them and
they all follow the same patterns. Yeah,

111
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.440
it's specifically the yellow eyes. That's
what it stood out to me.

112
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.919
You can't talk about the yellow eyes. Yeah, I just shows they talk

113
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.919
like the ghoul. You actually did
a pretty good impersonation of the ghoul too

114
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.200
when you were doing that story.
Yeah. Uh, should have said smooth

115
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.919
skin, though, that would have
been better. Hey, smooth skin.

116
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.360
Listen, you gotta go there and
get those new coclas. Yeah, I

117
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.840
hope somebody screen recorded that. That
made my day. That was an awesome

118
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:39.799
story though, I actually really enjoyed
that one. Jeff Townsend Media sees you

119
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.840
good night, and the question is
do I stay here? Will you be

120
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:50.840
back? Are you gonna come back? Will you be back? Are you coming back
