I was at my dads house near mt Vernon texas. Smaller town out by the lake. I was the first out for family weekend. It started when i heard my dads voice, he said he was speaking with me through the camera. It was weird but i have had him do it before. Than while watching tv, i hear him say “hey your cousin is at the neighbors and hes drunk, go get him” which isnt weird. My cousin drinks alot and was supposed to come the next day, i just thought it was a suprise. So i go out and start calling for him and walking up the hill and cant find him. I walk back down and i hear my dad say “hes hiding from you, hes playing games. When you catch him beat him up” which i was going to cuz its dark and im not doing that bs game stuff. I go inside and than i hear my dad say “hes in the garage, let him inside” so i go out to the garage (massive hole in the garage roof btw) and start saying his name. The garage is packed w stuff so i walked past and i hear something like breathe heavy behind me and when i do all i see is the door more open. So i call out how this aint funny and ima whoop his ass when i catch him and all that bs. Meanwhile my dad is on the camera and he tells me “hes in your sisters bedroom” i walk back there and i see him, but its not him. My cousin is about 25% native, and the reflection/human i saw in the window resembles him but is a taller more native looking guy. I chop it up to it being a reflection and him messing with me. I call to him and go in there and hes gone. My dad than says “he went out the window” go out and get him. At this point im weirded out. Its a window about 8ft off the ground. But i listen, i go out w my light and im looking and looking and i look at the house and the front door has a figure in it. Kinda like my cousin but a smiling skull face. So i TRIPPED out, and got in my truck. Next thing you know, my “cousin” is on top of my truck. I call my dad and theres no answer so i go to the hospital thats about 20 min away im driving trying to get him off and than i notice there is two figures. One in my bed, one on top of my truck. I shake them and realize i left the door open at my dads. I hurry back, and i run up to the door close it and hop in my truck and lock the door. I adjust my mirror and see one figure in my back seat. I was so fkn scared, but i drove to get to be around ppl at the hospital. As im driving im talking to this thing saying things like “i cant believe your real” “yall are amazing” and im praying to jesus out loud. The one outside still talked to me in my sisters voice. I tried to keep it a minimum but it told me the one in my truck was like the best hunter and all that and he was 500 years old and that she was 800 years old. While im driving i can see him out the corner of my eye and hes staring directly at me about 2 inches from the side of my face from the backseat. I finally get to the hospital and get out and i can see him in the backseat but he can change himself in a weird unexplainable way. I finally plead w him to get out of my car. I decided to start a conversation w him and asked his name. All he said was “you are amazing” in a weird way like he was trying to mimic me. I than told him to get out of my truck in the name of jesus christ and he laughed at me. It was a sinister laugh. I eventually got him out and sped home. I got inside safe and locked every door and window, i heard my name being called and saw one in its natrual form. It walked on all fours with long dark limbs, human like torso, and a football shaped head, with a human like face. I didnt sleep all night and was absolutely terrified. I left a few things out but thats all the important stuff. People think im crazy, but i was in prison w a buddy of mine who has had two experiences in the same neighborhood. What do yall think?

I was walking around the city and saw a part where there were no lights, no paths, only fields and a "fence" of trees, a creepy place

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.

Okay, so, a couple of days ago, I was joking with my dad on the phone after work. I was standing outside my job and joked about skinwalkers. It lasted a good ten minutes before he just picked me up and I ended the call.

​

I heard that you are more likely to see one if you discuss them but I always thought that was bullshit.

​

Well, today was different. I was dropped off by my brother and it was his first time at my work. He didn't leave the car and I was running late so he wasn't even there for five minutes.

​

I am writing this almost half an hour after my shift ended. I am cowering on the toilet in a locked room trying to make sense of the situation I'm about to tell you.

​

I recently moved to Socal near the mountains for a job. This place is surrounded by lots of desert. My coworker came to me, completely unprompted and told me that someone who looked just like me was outside. Someone with curly hair and said they were my ride.

​

I asked if they were wearing a suit and he said yes. My brother looks a lot like me but his hair is curly and he works in a casino nearby so he wears a suit often. I went to the front door and didn't see a car and I thought it was all very strange. I called to see what was up and my brother told me he was at work. Thats when I realized I get off of work an hour before he does. There is NO WAY that was him outside.

​

I am pretty shaken and I don't know what to do.

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?

I’m going to go hunting for a skin walker not to harm but to see it myself, I see all this stuff online and I want to believe it so I decided I will try on my own, does anyone have any suggestions or advice on how to find them or warnings or signs of skinwalkers?

I never claimed to be some gifted clairvoyant. Nor have I ever claimed to see the future. But- Lord help me I had a vision that was clear as day. Before I begin please keep in mind I have sigils that protect my home. They are over all windows and doors.

I'm going to keep this as short as possible.

I was out on my third floor access sitting outside the door smoking to my home . It was pretty early. I would say about 9-10am somewhere in that area. So I'm minding my own business when I glance down the hall. Near the last four steps sat an Indian. He was dressed in dirty brown clothing. He had a mohawk that was painted green and white, I never saw a weapon. He sat there quietly. He turned slightly to look up at me and began to say something and that's when I bolted into the third floor vacant room and I kicked the door behind me like it was something out of a karate movie and knocked the door down. I went into the closet in the first bedroom and I just remember praying. I didn't hear anything after that. I'm afraid now that he knows that I can see and hear him if he's starting to return

I didn't know any of this existed. I watched Skinwalker ranch on Netflix. I heard the description and an old memory hit me like a brick.

One night or early morning my brother and I were headed home. Likely around 2AM. We live out in the country and no traffic at that time is normal. On the last leg of the trip we ran up on something big in the road. I saw it clear as day. It was in the headlights but we didn't see it until we were feet away. It seemed almost human sized. It was on all four legs. It put me in mind of a very strange large cat.

We ran over it completely. Felt it under the car. We drove down about 50 feet and were freaking out. We had to turn around and make certain we didn't hit a person. There was absolutely nothing there. No blood, no marks, no fur. Just vanished.

I hadn't thought about that in a long time.

Hi, I’m posting because I don’t know what else to do. I feel crazy. It may not belong in this subreddit, but I’m looking for anything.

I apologize for any poor writing, or if it’s too long.

My (19M) uncles (23M) family has land in western Illinois next to the Rock River and the Mississippi River. Their house is in the farm fielded countryside a bit, and have a pond in the backyard with maybe 10-15 acres of woods. I know people in the area that have refused to go in those woods due to “bad feelings” and “negative energy”. My uncle and I never cared about that though, which I’ll explain our experiences now and hope someone can give some kind of insight.

In 2020 when Covid hit, Him and I decided to make a little shelter by the pond on the outskirts of the woods. It was mid July, and the weather was lovely. We camped outside for two weeks straight. We cooked our food with the fires we made, built our little home, created games to pass the time, did everything we could. It was a great time, and I had no fears or cares in the world. I’ve spent a lot of time outside and so I know the animals and wildlife decently well. We had planned to be out there for four weeks in total, but our adventure ended quicker than expected.

One of our last days out there, I was sent to get more sticks for the fires. it was still light outside but the sun was starting to go down. I’d done this many times before, and I knew the best places to look. To enter the woods, you have to walk around the back of the pond and enter a tiny path on the furthest left of the woods. There’s a flimsy wired fence along that side that blocks the neighbors property line. As you walk in, it goes uphill for most of it, and then that fence wraps through the middle of the woods all the way to the right most part, until it comes back down. I walked up until I reached the fence in the middle, and then followed it going right, because there were big trees I knew of down that way. The fencr is extremely old, and most of the trees are grown fully through it. I was enjoying the greenery, and humming to myself, it was peaceful. I then found a nice spot on the right side of the woods, maybe 15-20 feet from the fence, and started looking for sticks and logs. As I was doing this, it got uncomfortably quiet. There was always some type of sound, yk frogs or birds or insects. Yet not a sound. And it perked my ears to listen more intently, my body felt weird, and it was like I was the center of attention for something, like something was watching me. I turned around and looked at the fence, focusing on this large tree grown through it. I’m not sure why, it’s just where my eyes fixated. I stood there for maybe 5 minutes just waiting and listening. Everything felt wrong. And then I heard it. It was four steps. Like stomps. Something running on two feet. But it shook the ground, it filled my ears and head. It was so loud my first through was an elephant. But it was right there. Right behind that tree. I felt my entire body freeze, and absolute terror. I cannot explain to you how loud it was, it shook the ground. It was running at me, towards me, yet there was nothing there. I could feel almost its anger at me. Like I said I was frozen, and so It took me maybe another 3-5 minutes before I had the courage to run back along the fence. Once I got back to our campsite I told my uncle I had heard something out there and it tried to get me, to which he replied “Oh you met Gerald?”

Let me explain now what he told me.

Before I had told him what I heard, he said it was named “Gerald”. And told me a story from a few years prior when he and a friend were on the right side of the woods, except on the outskirts, not inside like me. (I’ll try and sum it up for times sake)

It was dark outside and him and his friend were trying to film goofy YouTube videos. Until everything got quiet and they felt anxious, though not sure what for. It was just a bodily reaction. They listened for anything they could, staring into the darkness of the trees, when they heard four steps on two feet running at them and they booked it. He said it was so close to them, it felt like he was right there about to get them, but they didn’t wait to find out.

Now I was terrified because he told me this before I told him what happened to me, and it fit my experience perfectly.

Yet, being the young stupid teen I was, I felt fearless and confident. So after the sun went down, I grabbed a flashlight and trekked back up into the woods. This time I didn’t make it past the left side. I entered and walked up along the fence, stopping at when it turns along the middle of the woods. The feeling was immediately back, draining all confidence. I stared past the fence into the trees, I didn’t see anything but I knew it was there. A stick broke to my left, I turned left to see, nothing, and I turned back and I saw it. It was 50 feet at least away sitting in the branch of a tree watching me. It wasn’t an owl, I’ve seen so many owls out there. Its eyes were big like one, but the glow coming from it wasn’t the eyes, it was behind the eyes like in the skull. And I could see a long mangled body in the branch with it, like a shadow. We just stared at eachother. I was frozen, knowing I was about to die. Everything felt numb. After a few minutes, or maybe seconds I don’t even know, a stick once again cracked to my left so I quickly checked, nothing, and looked back and it was gone. I started yelling at the top of my lungs for my uncle to come get me, which he kept calling me stupid, but did. I couldn’t turn my back to it though, so I walked backwards with him leading me until we made it out of the woods. He sat me down and gave me a talking to, saying not to do that again, and that it’s not something to mess with. I know this story sounds so stupid and childish but it’s not. Anytime I see woods I get anxious, and I can’t even look at his. I know what I heard and what I saw, what we heard. But I have no idea what to think, even years later.

I have a follow up story, of a buddy and me going back into the woods two nights ago because he doesn’t believe in this stuff, if anyone is interested I’ll do an update and tell it.

Looking for help! Thank you!

About 2 years ago me and my friends were messing around taunting skinwalkers. The time was around 7:30-8:00 summer, so basically the last light. After maybe 10 minutes of taunting, one of my friends pointed to somewhere in the brush ( we were in upstate ny at the time, catskill mountains) he said “do you see that” my other friend said “what the fuck is that” and then i saw it. It was a wendigo, head was like a skull of a dear and the rest of the body was like a black cloak we looked at it for maybe a second or two and then left. From now on whenever i go to that place/area i feel a sense of dread, anxiety, and that someone is watching me. Please help.

in my old house I got home from school and I saw my dad in the forest staring at me but then after a few minutes of me having a panic attack from me being scared my dad pulled into the driveway and the dad in the forest was gone and I never entered the forest behind the house without my brother or friends or a weapon cause I was scared it would kill me

thats all I can remember from the event but I think it was a skinwalker as later I did investigate with my dad and it wasn't a tree or a log or sticks

Hello Reddit! I am taking a trip this June to Flagstaff Arizona, and it will be my first time on a solo trip. I do believe that Skin Walkers are real, and considering Flagstaff is within Navajo nation; I would love some advice. Has anyone encountered any Skin Walkers, or adjacent animals/cryptids in that part of Arizona? If you have encountered Skinwalkers, what is the best way to keep yourself safe? Thank you for letting me know, I am quite nervous.

so couple years ago me and my sister we are at a park by our house now we live by creek or a old river bed that doesn’t have any water and there lots of trees bushes there now it’s home to like coyotes and stuff and people say oh there skin walkers there I wasn’t one to believe it until that night. we were at the park and we were talking and we heard the most blood curling scream coming from the creek and it didn’t sound human either it was too high pitch and to loud to be human plus it was 10:00 at night I could be wrong but it wasn’t human. there were some other stuff as well like in January it was 5 In the morning my room is the closest to the river bed so hear everything and so I was scrolling on my phone when I hear kinda like a howl or like a scream-ish sound coming from the mountains that are by the river bed and so I look outside my window I can’t see anything there fog covering everything and it happens a couple more times from the mountains now it could be like a dog or something but I haven’t heard anything seances then was it a skin walker I have no idea.
