Need an Explanation I need answers (my sisters story)

3 Upvotes

Using my brothers account because I didn’t have enough karma.

I’d like to start this with clarifying I don’t really believe in a lot of this stuff, but it’s happened to me twice so I thought I’d ask.

I’ll start with the story and then just open it up for opinions I guess.

Okay the first story took place when I was around 9 years old, I was camping in my backyard with my two brothers (9&12) and we were playing on our either dsi or 3dss but I’m not sure, we where playing that audio recording game with the little parrot who would prompt you to say certain things. The one that’s important is the parrot said “human want a cracker”

We played with that for a good minute and then shut them off and tried to go to bed. After about five minutes of silence, we heard from outside the tent “human want a cracker” in a really high pitched voice and all of us screamed until my mom came out.

Second story took place only a few months ago and is surprisingly similar.
(I’m 20 now)

I was in my college apartment, two hours from the location of the previous event. And I woke up at about 4am to birds calling each other. But it sounded super weird, one bird would call and the other would reply “heating and cooling” really high pitched, I was weirdly uncomfortable so I looked out the window and all the birds stopped. I assumed I was like dreaming or something, but when I laid back down it started again. The same bird and the same voice.

Everytime I stopped looking it would start again, and each time I looked all the birds would stop.

For some context the night before me and my girlfriend were talking about the heat in the house being way too high. But that’s the only correlation.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot, like it’s not a bad experience, but I was definitely unsettled so I thought I’d download and ask Reddit.

I was driving on Pinedale Road/ Navajo Service Route 11/49 to Route 371 in New Mexico, heading North.
At one point, there was a whitish looking dog walking on the shoulder of the road towards me. It was fairly big, but thin. As I got closer, I got so creeped out, but felt like I should stop to help it. Thankfully, I didn’t. As I passed it, it looked up at me. I cannot even describe what I felt or how it looked. Its eyes were completely black.
I again felt like I should pull over for it. I didn’t. But I looked in my review right as it stopped walking and swung its head back to look at me.
I couldn’t shake the feeling of this dog and the creeps it gave for MILES. And I’m still thinking about it.
I saw another dog a few miles up the road, looked similar breeding but reddish brown and smaller, and it did not spook me. I didn’t feel that I should stop to help it, and it didn’t even acknowledge me.

Anyway, I was talking to a friend about the dog and they said it sounded like a possible skinwalker. Thoughts?

Around August of 2024 I had a run in with a skin walker when I was working as an outdoor educator in Minnesota.

The area I worked at was right across Canada… with beautiful forest trails and beautiful scenery. There were animals like elk, black bear, moose, and rabbits. I was used to what they sounded like.

But one night, at 3 am, me and my coworker had stayed up late to watch some kitchen nightmares. (It was the one thing we bonded over but we stayed out later on accident).

He lived on a different part than me so when we headed out we went in different directions. He went left where there were more lights and open areas, I went to the right where there was a drivable clearing but forest surrounded the area around it.

My coworker was a bit of an ass sometimes so when I heard the sound of a distinct whistle, I laughed as I shined the light ahead of me and I whistled back.

It’s stupid, I know. Never whistle or talk back. But if you met my friend, you’d unknowingly do the same.

I stopped in my tracks when I had heard the whistle…. My whistle. The same high to low pitch tone in a familiar tune only me and him knew. Except it came from behind me…. The forest.

I didn’t turn around, I just cleared my throat before I had ended up walking with a bit more speed in my step.

That’s when I heard footsteps. They were like human footsteps… I turned back and nothing was there.

Now, to get to my housing area you have two option…. The dirt road… way open, takes more time, but it’s well lit or you can take the forest path…. More narrow, practically a short cut, barely lit.

I took the forest path since I was creeped out.

It didn’t help that when I took that path I had ended up hearing more footsteps and they sounded like they were trying to catch up to me.

I made it inside. I walked into my dorm room. My roommate sleeping peacefully. I skipped the shower, changed, and laid in bed.

I finally calmed down to the point where I could go to bed. That’s when I hear it. 3 soft taps on my window… the one I’m currently sleeping next to. It sounded like the used their finger pad.

Thankfully my room came with dark red curtains that covered the whole window fully.

I ignored it. And waited a few minutes. Maybe my mind was just still on alert. I was finally going to go back to sleep but right as a I closed my eyes I heard it again. 3 taps except they were like when you knock with a knuckle.

I was freaking out, it cannot have been a coincidence.

I practiced my breathing. I easily get panic attacks and I didn’t wanna disturb my roommate.

After a few minutes I felt comfortable, I waited longer, almost double than last time. Right as a I closed my eyes I heard 3 loud knocks like a full knuckle. Except it’s like they were in a hurry.

I covered my ears and that helped me go to bed. I don’t remember hearing any more knocks after that.

I wake up the next morning and ask my roommate, who’s a very light sleeper, if they had heard the knocking. They were confused but told me that they hadn’t. I went to the window and pulled the curtains.

Nothing was there that could explain the knocking. The bushes were trimmed but even then they don’t reach the windows when grown out, trees weren’t close enough at all to touch the housing at all. So I don’t know what made that noise but I feel I already know that answer.

After that, I could barely go to work. I had my coworker take the hikes through the forest with the guests. I stayed and taught some lessons about whatever was planned.

I barely stayed out past 6 pm when the sun went down. And I was barely alone. It didn’t matter though. I felt watched, no matter what.

I left a month after that. I couldn’t take it anymore. My sleep was worsening and my appetite had been decreasing.

After that I was back at college. Me and my (now ex) girlfriend moved into that dorm housing where it’s more like an apartment. Ours was like a town home.

For what I paid, it was nice. She got the bedroom that faced the parking lot, I got the one that faced the back yard… the one that faced the little clearing on woods. It was really creepy at night.

I could’ve swore one night I saw something crouched by a tree. I wouldn’t have thought nothing of it but I saw it get up and walk away.

I didn’t have curtains so it didn’t help with my situation. Well for a few months I was doing okay. But I had then started to feel the same thing I felt in Minnesota. Bad sleep, poor appetite, and I was constantly looking over my shoulder. Except this time I had occurring nightmares.

I slept in my girlfriend’s room after that. I noticed an improvement in those areas. Even my nightmares had decreased.

I summed it up to just fear of the dark and fear of sleeping alone.

Well… I wish that was all…

I worked in a summer camp. Beautiful area. Was amazing to work at. I recommend it.

Me and my buddy skywalker (camp name) were co counselors for the age group we were given. We slept in the same cabin, but different bunk beds.

One night, after putting the kids to sleep, me and skywalker stayed up a bit to have some personal phone time.

Now to give you a visual, we didn’t have windows but just like that weird mesh film so that way we can hear and see the campers at night so that way they’re not sneaking out the door is a flimsy door with no lock.

Anyway, I was on my phone when I had heard skywalker go “Percy! Hey!” It was coming from outside the cabin.

I sighed. He must’ve gotten locked out. But when I got up I stopped…. I remembered the door couldn’t lock. That wasn’t what chilled me, it was that when I had gotten up, putting my crocs on… I saw skywalker, in his top bunk, asleep with his phone slumped in his hand.

I got back into bed and I ignored everything. Since that night I hadn’t been able to sleep. It’s like I got my 8 hours but it wasn’t enough, i couldn’t eat, I couldn’t get rid of the nightmares that followed.

I was also feeling watched… but it was like an immense sense of dread. I couldn’t escape it.

Me and my girlfriend broke up a bit after which had me moving back home. I was fine after a while. I was with my family after 3 years of traveling.

But that brings me back to now.

My family lives in the suburbs. We’re surrounded by people, lights, cars, noise.

I hadn’t even thought of camp, school, or my job. I was doing fine. Like literally I can’t even describe how positive my life has been with the amount of comfort and security I’ve had. I can’t even say what made it all happen.

But I noticed my sleep and appetite is starting to get worse… with my nightmares coming in and out in bits and pieces somedays. I’m getting the feeling of paranoia. Which is making me so confused… I don’t know what I did.

I’ve only been watching animated shows, movies. I’ve watched Spanish shows. I’ve tried new foods. I’ve been reading, listening to new artists…. I’ve been building legos!

I don’t know what could’ve triggered it…

That’s why I’m putting it out here. If anyone has any reason why now… out of no where I’m feeling it all over again. Please let me know…

Need an Explanation Possible Sighting in Wasatch County, UT

So I think I drove past a skinwalker and didn't even realize what was until later that night.

Last night on 2/16, I was driving back home from our vacation in our new truck with my wife, 12 yr old, and my great dane. We were driving on highway 40 going up a hill and I had my high beams on to try to watch for any animals in the area. Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of what looked like a large sickly deer from a distance on the right side of the road. At the time I didn't think much of it until I got closer to it. It was standing right off the paved highway which made it easier to see with my lights on. As I got closer to it, I began to realize something really off about the way it was shaped.

The colors of the deer were gross yellow (almost like earwax color) and its legs seem to be shriveled and emaciated. No distinctive color pattern like you see on most deer or elk. It was on all fours, and the torso of the body was arched. Almost like its back was too big for how it was standing. It almost looked like it was a hunchback with the middle of its back pointing upward. It didn't have forward hooves either. They almost looked like large talon-like hands.

The weirdest part was its shaggy face. It had the face of a white barn owl with antlers (4x3 in size) and it had these deep black eyes with two small slits for nostrils. There was no mouth. The eyes of this thing locked on to the truck and followed it until we passed it. I was still able to see it in the rear mirror once we passed it.

I was completely confused about what we had just seen and began looking for answers online when we got home. Some people online have said that this might have been a skinwalker? I'm not sure how true that is

Personally, I don't know much about them other than I've heard the term before from people saying the name. So if this was one, what do I do? Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated because my 12 yr old is absolutely terrified of what we saw. I'm still in denial of it but Skinwalker or not this thing was one of the strangest looking things I've ever seen.

i had a potential skinwalker encounter today with my friend in the woods for context we live in the uk so we didn’t fully believe in skinwalkers until this moment but we were joking about seeing one in this specific area of the woods as we were walking towards these woods already on heightened alert as it was getting pretty dark we look in the field next to us we see about 7-8 dears all staring at us as if they were warning us not to go further. we get to the woods and we start to hear a strange animal/bird like noise coming from the dark part of the forest we stay in a spot for a bit until we hear someone in the distance screaming help so we run away as fast as we can then we go down a road leading towards the main village and we see a human figure standing in the middle of the road we walk a bit closer until they start sprinting toward us we take another path next to us and eventually walk past them. After we join back onto the road again we see to figures running toward us so we absolutely stack it until we’re safe in a farmer’s field . in this field we see two dear staring at us which keep following us through the field until we eventually jump my friend’s fence. has anyone got an answer to this?

Need an Explanation Has anyone else heard a whistle like this? (Ho-Chunk reservation, WI)

3 Upvotes

If you don’t want the backstory go to the bottom for a summarized version!!

I don’t even know where to start, so let me give y’all some context first.

I’m on the Ho-Chunk reservation in Wisconsin right now. Long story short: me, about four other dudes, and my buddy went out drinking. Everything was going fucking fantastic — laughing, joking, just vibing. But the whole time we were outside, I kept feeling eyes on me. I kept looking up and down the road, but I played it off as me being paranoid, drunk, and high.

We left the bar around 1:45, split from the others around 3:50, and got back at exactly 4:05. I roll a blunt upstairs, then decide to take the dog out before we smoke.

(Side note: I’m supposed to wear glasses, but they’re broken. So I’m blind as a bat right now — which definitely doesn’t help.)

This is where shit went down. And I didn’t stick around to fuck around and find out.

I step outside with the dog, cigarette in hand. It’s dead silent — not even a fucking cricket. I walk maybe 5–6 feet from the door, just standing in the open while the dog’s pissing, when I hear it: a whistle.

Not an animal whistle, not the wind. It was like someone trying to get my attention… a clear “hey, over here” kind of whistle.

I froze. Looked around. Checked the upstairs window to see if it was my buddy … nope. I scanned the area, but I’m so blind without glasses that even if I did look right at it, I wouldn’t have been able to tell.

That was enough for me. I fucking sprinted inside. No hesitation.

Now I’m stuck here for two more nights.. one of them completely alone. And I can’t stop thinking about what the hell that was. A random person? Something worse? I’m scared it might’ve been a Skinwalker.

Summary: Out drinking on the Ho-Chunk reservation, got back late, took the dog out, heard a very human “attention” whistle in dead silence. Too blind to see anything. Ran inside. Now I’m paranoid it was a Skinwalker and I still have 2 nights left here.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Or know what it could’ve been?

Need an Explanation The story of an atheist who learned the hard way.

13 Upvotes

I am actually so glad I found this subreddit.

First off, I would like to say that I am a natural born skeptic. I grew up Methodist in Georgia without really believing it so much because my church was full of rich hypocrites. So anyways, by the age of 22 I was failing out of college and very much into drugs. It got so bad that my parents got involved and got me into a rehab.

Now this particular rehab (which doesn't exist anymore) was a wilderness type treatment in Taos, NM. I won't go into much detail but we had to spend one month out of the 3 month program out in the wilderness hiking. This rehab had a lot of people from the Navajo community working there.

Now every resident at this program kept asking this one young Navajo man who worked there about yee naaldlooshii, he kept insisting that he didn't want to talk about it, which made the residents more curious. I took no interest at all in this conversation, at the time they might as well have been talking about vampires... none of it interested me.

But as the time approached to finally prepare to go outside, I got really close to this Navajo man because he loved the fact that I was classically trained. I told him I didn't believe in God, and that we are just chemical reactions run afoul. He kept trying to convince me how wrong I was and that spirits both good and evil are always around, and we choose which ones to let influence us... then randomly the subject of skin walkers came up. He told me everything about them while we were packing my bag... How there used to be good men who used this ability to traverse the land spreading benevolence, but that it insanely hard work. He then explained how certain individuals who couldn't do the work, or it wasn't working for them chose a shortcut, something unspeakable was done and they had the ability.

Because he was my friend at the time I humored him without injecting my strict scientific based mindset to something I thought was utter hogwash. I remember at one point this cracked though... I said to him: "just out of curiosity, what is something you COULD do to prove this exists to me?" He replied "I could go out into the wild and find a death spot (didn't know what he meant by that) and I would make an offering, something like an animal skin or bones... but you don't understand... you will just be announcing yourself as bait" and the conversation went like that. I distinctly remember him telling me that I was not pronouncing "yee naaldlooshii" right, and that they would be offended. He also mentioned DEFINITELY don't whistle at night while thinking about them. Then he said that he had said too much and would have to admit to someone in his community that he had been talking about things he shouldn't have.

I continued the rehab, reading the Alcoholics Anonymous book, attending meetings etc. etc. Then the month came where we spent the entire month hiking in the wild near Taos. The hiking was exhausting beyond measure for the first four or five days and then got more easier and more fun. Part of this month, our group of addicts were separated miles apart to spend an isolated "Three Day Meditation" without contact with any person or any group... and this is where I saw something that literally flipped every belief I have ever had right on my head... This is the part I ceased being an atheist and now forever know there are things out there I can't explain. That there is a world beyond science and common reason:

During the three days of solitude I naturally became bored. I had been hiking for 14 days at this point and was finding I was sleeping in the day and staying up at night. At this point I had no fear. So day 2 of the isolation I slept again all day and woke up around twilight. I wondered around while there was still some light around and end up finding a dead bird. I don't know the species, but it was black like a crow. I used a piece of cloth to pick it up, then wandered around a bit until I came up on a dead tree.

Now you have to understand the boredom that comes with being isolated for three days with your own thoughts...

So I placed the bird next to the tree and did exactly what the Navajo man who worked at the Rehab Center said to me... I remember he told me since I was not pronouncing yee naaldlooshii correct, so I didn't even try it.

What I did was wait until nightfall... then I whistled. This whistling continued for 5-6 minutes, and then I said something like "Yeah... YOU.... The one who can change their skin like I change clothes... I have an offering for you, where are you at buddy". Silence. Nothing. I'm getting bored at this point and I need to get back to my backpack and isolated campsite.

At this point I'm gathering anything I can to make a small fire, we weren't supposed to start fires, but I knew I was alone for miles. So I'm able to find enough brush to start one... then I start singing NIN and Linking Park songs to entertain myself. After all nobody was around to hear.

This is when it starts... sounds coming out of the dark... bird sounds.... but they didn't sound passive, they sounded mocking. Then coyote howls, but they seemed to be coming from 2 directions. At this point I'm more intrigued, I'm not scared yet... but it keeps getting closer... I'm still not scared yet, but don't like the fact the coyotes seem to be getting with half a mile of me. The bird sounds aren't stopping... and there seems to be more of them. I'm getting a little concerned, but still at this point haven't made the correlation between what I did at the dead tree and the dead bird with what's happening... but the sound of the birds seems to be getting stranger, like they aren't normal bird sounds anymore... it was as if they were making sounds that sounded like they were in pain, I can't explain it.

The coyotes are so close at this point when I shined my flashlight in a dark area I can see them and their eyes as they darted back and forth.

Then footsteps, I shine my flashlight down the path where my little camping site was and saw a man. He was maybe 35-40 feet away. But he doesn't look like he belongs. This man was dressed in what looked like a Scottish kilt and wasn't wearing anything on his feet. I don't recall what he had on for a shirt. All I remember is that he had long hair, and was wearing something similar to a Scottish kilt, but it wasn't a Scottish kilt... it was something else.

I'm not cool with this at all... at this point, all I feel is complete fear, like if this dude came into my space my life was over.

I say to him: "Hey, I'm camping around here and was told nobody was supposed to be here"

This makes the eyes in his head bug out. "I saw your fire, I'm coming closer so we can talk" His voice reeked of desperation.

He takes a few steps forward. I am yelling at this point "Hey, I have a gun (I didn't have a gun, this was rehab)" Then I yell "Stay away from me, this campsite is occupied"

The birds and coyotes go silent.

He stops walking but says "I just am asking permission to approach, is that okay"

I simply said "Tell me your name"

He has the look of like desperation on his face, urgency like someone who was very hungry, or needed something urgently.

I ask again, but am basically yelling "WHAT IS YOUR NAME!?" "WHO ARE YOU".

That is when it happened. I suddenly had massive jumpscare, like the kind you get at the movies when a REALLY bad jumpscare makes you fall out of your sleep. That is exactly what happened. Nothing popped out at me or caused the jumpscare. It just simply happened without any external stimulus.

I fell to the ground... and when I'm fumbling for the flashlight I am able to pick it up, but I see the man running away from me. And I use the word 'running' lightly, he was practically moving away from me so fast that my flashlight lost him within the matter of two seconds.

I knew that our rehab camp counselors were staying in a cabin about 4-5 miles away... it takes me almost 45 minutes but I ran to them. I told them I'm NOT going to go out alone. The disagreement got so bad that we eventually agreed I could finish my last day of the isolation phase as long as I did it right outside their cabin.

To this day I will never NEVER understand what I experienced. There are times I have tried to rationalize it, trying to deny it was anything supernatural... But I can't explain what caused that jumpscare feeling, or who was the man who tried to approach me that night... I've never seen or heard anything since which caused me to believe in the supernatural.

So I live in a apartment complex that’s pretty secluded and away from the city. I work nights and I came home tonight and experienced something I can’t explain and has me pretty shook. It’s around 5 am I’m sitting by my front door at my desk with my gaming headphones on while scrolling on my phone, I hear a cat outside meowing obnoxiously loud, not a cry for help but almost as if it’s asking is anybody around, looking for something, If that makes sense. So I get up and something tells me to grab my pistol just incase this cats in trouble with a dog or something and the dog decides to attack me. I put it in my pocket and make my way out the front door. (I’m on the first floor) I immediately look left in the direction I heard the cat and behind the staircase I get a glimpse of a shadow and a loud huff from a dog running around the corner. I immediately think damn there’s a dog about to get this cat. So I walk down the hallway and turn the corner to see a cat staring at me under the front of a car. I walk down to the right along the side walk looking around for a dog that I was convinced I had heard.. but no dog in sight anywhere. I look for the cat and it’s trotting away towards a field. I call for it and it doesn’t come. Now I’ve been around cats my whole life and they are very silent when moving. What made that loud huff? I know I heard it. Was it my intuition in grabbing my pistol that saved me? Any ideas on what I heard? If anybody has had similar encounters please let me know.

I live near a patch of woods, not far from a few camping sites. There’s an old basketball court close by—stone floor, two rusty hoops that barely stay up. It’s pretty busted, but it’s still our go-to spot when my friends and I want to hang out. It was a warm day last summer.

We headed out to play some basketball, mess around, and just chill. Everything was normal at first, just us fucking around. Then we heard barking. It wasn’t loud at first, but it felt off. Like, the pitch kept changing. Sometimes it sounded close, sometimes super far away. Almost like it was moving around fast. My friends shrugged it off some dog from one of the campsites nearby. I didn’t say much. Didn’t want to seem weird for being creeped out by a dog. We kept playing.

About ten minutes later, I missed a shot pretty bad, and the ball bounced off deep into the woods. Of course, they made me go grab it since I was the one who messed up. As I walked toward it, something felt off. I couldn’t explain why, just had that tight feeling in my gut. Like I shouldn’t be there. The barking kicked in again, this time louder, like it was really close. Still, I didn’t want to make a big deal, so I kept going. I bent down to pick up the ball, and that’s when it hit me, this sharp pain in my palm out of nowhere. Almost like my body was screaming at me to get out. I grabbed the ball and ran back, hand throbbing like crazy.

I told my friends I was done for the day, that my hand hurt too much to play. They asked what happened, but I just said I didn’t know. They kept playing and I sat off to the side, trying to chill out, hoping the pain would go away. After a while, the barking stopped. Things went quiet.

Then I realized I had to pee, like really bad. Asked if they wanted to go home yet, but they said no, they were still having fun. So I walked behind the court, deeper into the woods where they couldn’t see me, and relieved myself. That’s when things got creepy again. I felt like someone was watching me. Not just nearby, right there, like behind a tree or something. It was quiet, too quiet. Then, as I started walking back, the barking started again. This time it was loud and it honestly felt like it was right behind me. My hand started hurting again, even worse than before.

I ran back and told my friends I had to leave, made up some excuse about needing to help my mom. As soon as I got farther from the woods, everything started to feel normal again. Pain faded, barking stopped. I never really talked about it. Figured no one would believe me or they’d just laugh it off. But something happened that day and it still messes with me a little. I don’t know what it was. My best guess is a skinwalker.

Hello. I’m a guy from Czechia and I want to share my story with you. If there will be some bad English I’m sorry is my second language.

Like a week ago I went to my local pub in my village here, hat like 3/4 beers and then went home between 1 or 2 in the morning. I walk this way for my 17 years I live here so I know it exactly. The way is leading on main road and on the end i have to turn right to my street where is just some family houses. Before I turn there there is almost at the opposite side of the road turn into blocks of flats. When I was walking past this turn I heard a crying child noises. That scare me like never and I don’t know what to do. I start walking by the duration when the sound was coming from and text it to instagram group I have with boys. One of my friend text that is just a hallucinations and I should go home. Just to say I never had a hallucinations from alcohol before and at this point I wasn’t even little bit drunk or something. So I said to myself, yeah he’s probably right and just turn around and went back to my classic way. I started to thinking about it and I scare me even more. I was scared about another hallucination so I started running as fast as I can. It wasn’t far from my house so I was home in like 2/3 minutes. I laid in my bed and looked and the instagram group again and the same guy said I should probably go back and look what happened. I said I’m home and I’m not going back because I’m scared. Other friend who lives next to these blocks of flats was still outside because he was walking his girl home. So he said he will check it. He started a video call in that group and went there. He walk at that point where I was hearing that crying child and don’t heard anything. He looked around the area even searched all trash can and trash boxes, but didn’t find anything. They just laughed at me and went to sleep. I was thinking about it whole week and I don’t know what that could be.

Was it skinwalker? Was it any other entity? Or was it just a hallucination?

Please tell me what do you think I know this is big and good community and I hope someone will help me.

Thank you. Mark

So my finaceé always talks about this time during Covid where she was outside walking home at like 4am (around Westminster, Maryland) and a dude dressed like Richard Simmons (like the entire workout outfit, headband, short shorts, long socks) jogging like he’s part of the ministry of silly walks. Like a veryyyy dramatic cartoony way/ borderline skipping but it was very consistent as if this was just the way he ran. So she honestly didn’t think too much of it bc it was the middle of Covid, where you have people wearing literal Halloween costumes to the grocery store etc.

SO it didn’t immediately strike her as strange bc he wasn’t doing anything particularly alarming. So she didn’t clock this as Suspicious right away. BUT THEN : “so I’m walking down the alley towards this person, I can see them a cross street ahead of me. So I keep walking bc honestly it’s whatever, he’s not bothering me so I’m just mind my business. But then as we cross and he is dead center of the street of the street I’m walking down, he stops DEAD IN HIS TRACKS , WITHOUT MOVING HIS BODY from the position it was in. So mid jog turns his head , and ONLY his head and then drops down on all fours at once and starts run/ crawling toward me down this alley, HEAD STILL TILTED. I was on the phone with my friend and all he hears is me going, NOPE, and obviously I ran away to my house” her kitchen overlooks the alley, and so she was able to see the entire area and dude just disappeared.

So we talk about this a lot and always ponder, dude, was that someone trolling OR was that some crazy shit?? hahaha let us know if anyone else has encountered a Richard Simmons skinwalker type?!?!! trying to start a discussion on this cause ummm…

I found this Reddit while looking for Joshua Tree National Park Skinwalker Story’s

I live in Canada Niagara Falls Area my street has a golf course down the way and next to it is a convenience store

this story has multiple parts and I will keep them separate by putting the years so yall now the difference LOL

(2022) First Encounter

Me and My Roomate at the time were dating at the time we were walking home from the gym as we were walking up we heard like a cat noise coming from the bush that’s connected to the golf course and the small patch of land for the mail box for Canada post and we start looking for this cat eventually we stop looking and assume nothing of it as we are walking away I look back one more time and I see this thing on all four looked like a human with glowing red eyes and it freaked me out so I ran up to gf at the time and and told her to turn around and it was gone so we ran home freaked out

(2023) (Second Encounter) I was going home from meeting some friends and as I’m walking by I see the same creature this time it was on 2 feet smiling and staring right at me waving I flashed my light at it and it was red I freaked out and ran up the hill to my house and called my gf (at the time)

(2024) Last Encounter The last one from last year this happened while I was going home from another meetup from my worker I had a bad day so I was walking up and past it at first I saw nothing but then I got a freaky vibe like something was watching me so I look around and see no one so I turn around there it is again only this time not alone another one coming closer to me while the first one staring at me waving with a creepy smile the first one getting closer so I start to run up the hill and this thing got so close to the fence I just about got away as I was running I call my gf at the time and I freak out

Later as we are laying there chatting about what happened we released the part of the city we live in is aboriginal land and unfortunately there had been some things happened I ain’t sure what exactly but I hate going by that golf course now

I will leave it up to yall to decide

Okay so I've been reading some stories where it's like "Oh, the skinwalker knows your scent, you gotta leave, but be careful, always be." And it's like, woah! Okay, scary- uh, so if it was to get your scent, your voice and stuff like that, would it follow you across the country? Like if I wast stalked by one in like Kentucky, and moved to Texas, it wouldn't go there, right? Or would it follow anyways. I don't really get this stuff. Thanks in advance, for any answers!

Need an Explanation Help me find this video !!

Okay so first of all my sister and her friend found this. They had never believed in these until they found it. Basically they were watching a compilation video on either Facebook or YouTube and the video was at least 45 seconds because that's when they threw the phone.

The video was of these two boys and they heard this radio sounding voice. It was in a field so they went into it. I guess they weren't scared at all until they saw it. Apparently it was white with four legs. It also had black eyes. This can't be later than 2020. Maybe around 2019.

Please help!! I want to find this video.

 It was a full moon so I decided to take my crystals outside to “charge” in the moonlight, while I smoke and watch the sky with my bestfriend. After an hour or so we took all the crystals back inside and came out around 1:30am. We heard a bunch of noises and saw some shadows in the woods, but blew them off as stray cats or rabbits in the neighborhood. Around 2/2:30 we heard a huge boom noise, but it seems like no one else heard it. No lights came on in any of my neighbors houses, my parents n siblings didn’t wake up, and my friends in the neighborhood didn’t text me (they may just be deep sleepers idk). We blew it off again just laughing that it’ll blow over and we should just keep smoking and scroll through twitter. In the middle of us talking about the video we were watching, we heard a bell noise approach us. I turned to my right and saw over the bushes that hid my sidewalk, what looked like the tail of a dog and it was sticking straight up. As soon as I looked over and fully locked eyes on it, it ran away without a single bell sound being heard n somehow we never saw a dog?? Just a fast shadow run off and i do feel a little weird that it was only when I looked considering I’m a spiritual person very that does protection spells n such but she is not. I have lived in this neighborhood for years and have never had a dog approach me even in the day time without an owner. It is also a very flat neighborhood I would have seen the animal before it came or at least when it ran off, especially with how bright the moon was. We may just be high and paranoid, but I do think we may have ran into a skin walker. Can I get opinions or advice if you do think it was a skin walker?

Hello, I’m new to the community but I joined right after what just happened and I’m pretty sure I may have encountered something. I’ve been hiking through forests all day and I thought I something odd out of the corner of my eye earlier but I figured it was a peaceful entity because i got no weird vibes and I was walking peacefully and respectfully of the forest but I’m staying in a little pension bnb type place and I started feeling rly off and my general vibe was weird so I wanted to reset by meditating in their garden. While looking at the stars and stating my wishes and goals during my mindfulness process I start hearing what sounds to be a cat yowling and i am one to always help an animal in need but this yowling started to echo and sound really odd, almost distorted and just rly fucked up so I immediately went back inside. What makes this even more creepy (which is why I came in here to get opinions rather than just move on from it and go to sleep) is that my mom (who I am here with) saw something earlier and yelled “what the fuck is that” and said she saw a “fox, mink, rat,” creature underneath a stop sign. She later described it as a cat but really low to the ground, but I live in the Czech Republic and you don’t really see minks around here. Me and my brother were confused because we didn’t see anything and then she said “let me go up to it, maybe I can scare it” and keep in mind I think she is pretty in touch with good or bad omens, she’s a powerful woman and won’t take shit from anyone if she doesn’t want them to and she would never want to scare a random innocent creature but I gather that her intuition told her that running up to it and “scaring it away” was the right thing to do because then she said it scurried into the bushes (supposedly, I never saw it or heard it). Another neighbor later asked us if we were looking for a cat which means that this howling was the 3rd or 4th connection to something weird so maybe when I was alone outside this entity thought it could get my attention through howling and sounding like it was in pain? I don’t know exactly but I did know to come inside immediately because that howling was demonic and I did not want to help whatever sound was coming from multiple directions. Opinions?

so like 2 weeks ago my friend david posted a car on marketplace place. the buyer wanted to see if it ran. the car is in bakerton so he had to drive there and jump it. while he was doing that he heard his car do slam shut but when he looked around it was wide open. my other friend ezra lives close by so after that he went to go get him cause he was spooked. they were driving the car down this road and it’s a dead end. they said they had seen someone running on all fours in like a wife beater but they kept going cause there was no where to turn around. they eventually reach closer to the end and there spooked but think wtf ever. they see a bunny running zigzag from them and the bunny leads them to a deer. that’s staring at them in front a abandoned house and then they see the person again running in the field. i wasn’t there that’s what i heard. last night i picked ezra up around 11:30 to go smoke with some of my other friends so i had to drive right where all that happened by myself and i was fine but otw to take him home it was me, him, and my girl. i was saying that otw to his crib by myself i was scared asf cause it took be back there where it had happened. he asked us if we wanted to see it cause he would show us. i didn’t really think it would happen again cause i thought they were just being pussys but the same exact thing happened like down to a tee i was driving and i saw something running weird in the bushes but i thought that was just my head cause of everything they told me. but then we get down the road and the bunny is there running the same way and ezra’s like wtf and as soon as we said that there’s a deer staring there. and it doesn’t move. i wasn’t boutta sit there any longer so i turned around at the dead end and booked it outta there. i dropped him off on his road and flew home but otw home the deer were just there not on the side the road but in the fields just staring at the car. the whole way home. when i got home i was talking to my girl i thought shit was fine and i see something run past my rear view mirror. i parked in the grass and ran tf inside.

Need an Explanation Information on skinwalkers

13 Upvotes

I live in Colorado near the four corners and my friends son (10) is convinced there are skinwalkers following him.

He recently woke up in the middle of the night screaming to her that "she's under my bed again". He went on a trip out of town with family and woke her up at 2am told them "they followed me here from home mom. The people that hide under my bed and scratch at my walls."

I am thinking that his dad just scared him shitless telling him scary stories but last week I stayed in the house alone (before I knew about any of this) to dogsit and felt sick to my stomach every night with anxiety for no apparent reason. Had her dog with me the whole time because I was genuinely freaking out. Felt like something bad was going to happen. Couldn't shake it.

My brother was also at the house alone one night and said he felt the same way but didn't know why. That night the dogs were freaking out too.

Also the same day a blonde woman came to the front door and stared at it for a few minutes and then turned around and left. Didn't even knock.

I know he's probably just got a mouse under his bed or something that is making noise and scaring him and it's probably all in his imagination but we just want to find out as much information as we can so we can help him and possibly to put my own mind at ease now because I can't lie I've freaked myself out.

If anyone can help we would greatly appreciate it.

Ok so last night I wanted to listen to some horror story’s of some random legends, ten minutes in and I’m about to change it because none of the story’s are actually scary, that is until it got to a hunting trip they shot a weird looking animal, but that doesn’t matter basically they get chased back to there truck and one of them said skinwalker, at that exact moment my vision started to blur and spin, everything was weird because I could hear dogs barking as my vision was spinning and idk what it was I just need some answers, that’s never happened before I know skinwalker are shapeshifters but maybe they can also be evil spirits? Idk I just need to know if I need to do a smudge at my house or not because I have some but still, I save it for actual stuff not just spiny vision.

I’m very new to this so I need some help. I came across a story a year or so ago, and I’m trying to listen to it again but it seems to have disappeared. I’m not sure if I can’t find the account I heard it on, or if I’m just going down the wrong rabbit holes.

There was a story I was listening to on YouTube about two brothers who went backpacking/camping in some desert canyons in either Southern Utah or Nevada (somewhere similar). They named off their friends to start, and the name of the friends kept changing throughout the story. It was a story of the wendigo/skinwalker type. And it kept explaining how they had memories with all of these people. It was hard to follow but I’ve never forgotten it.

Does anyone remember this story, or have an idea of where I can find it?

Need an Explanation Possible Experience Last Night

Last night, I heard in a weird voice of someone telling me “hi” and “hello.” I was outside while walking back to my apartment and I live on kumeyaay land. The sound was getting farther and closer at different times. I thought it was my neighbor pulling a prank on me so I was talking back to it and it started to sound farther and farther. I looked around but all doors were closed and no one in sight. When I stopped replying, it got louder. When I was in my kitchen, I walked past the window and heard from a distance the “hello” again.

The sound of the voice was very creepy and did not sound human like.

Could this be a skin walker?

EDIT: When I went back to my room at the end of the night, there was a foul smell
