Reddit reviews Hunt for the Skinwalker: Science Confronts the Unexplained at a Remote Ranch in Utah

Sure. :) I was trying not to hijack the thread, but I'll just put the list here and that way anyone can have it. Keep in mind, these aren't all collections of stories, some of them are research topics, but none of them that I've browsed through look like bad reads. The ones I have read I've tried to note.

Iroquois Supernatural: Talking Animals and Medicine People - Michael Bastine, Mason Winfield - most closely related to thread topic

Life After Life - Raymond Moody - Very good intro to Near Death Experience research

Reunions: Visionary Encounters with Departed Loved Ones - Raymond Moody

Journey of Souls - Michael Newton - Read this one, it was great, changed my views on reincarnation

The Day Satan Called - Bill Scott

Hunt for the Skinwalker - Colm Kelleher, George Knapp - read parts of, need to finish

The Vengeful Djinn - Rosemary Ellen Guiley - I've read this one, it's really good too, has a large "slow" section in the middle that quotes the Q'uran a lot, but some good creepy Djinn stories.

The Djinn Connection - Rosemary Ellen Guiley

Ghost Culture: Theories, Context, and Scientific Practice - John Sabol

Zones of Strangeness - Peter A. McCue

Lost Secrets of Maya Technology - James O'Kon

The Mythology of Supernatural - Nathan Robert Brown - this one might sound cheesy, but I've read a book on world mythology by the same author, and apparently the writers of the show did their research

Holy Ghosts: Or How a (Not-So) Good Catholic Boy Became a Believer in Things That Go Bump in the Night - Gary Jansen

I read a book about Skinwalker Ranch called, I think Hunt for the Skinwalker or something like that. They sighted things like this all the time in a certain part of Utah about ten years ago or so and before that. There was so much strange stuff happening at the ranch that the family who just bought it got freaked out and sold the property to a team of scientific researchers who set up a bunch of equipment to catch sightings and record data. The book is written by that team. It's pretty amazing what they witnessed and captured, and the guy who wrote the book came away basically with the theory that there was a portal to another dimension that was causing all sorts of strange beings and discs and orbs to be escaping and moving about. It was clear also that these phenemena were highly intelligent and sophisticated. On two occasions different witnesses also saw an actual "tunnel" open up in front of their eyes and in one case some kind of beast was reported to have literally climbed out of said tunnel and go into the woods.

So... just read the book. I'll grab the link. http://www.amazon.com/Hunt-Skinwalker-Science-Confronts-Unexplained/dp/1416505210/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1427146886&sr=8-3&keywords=skinwalker+ranch

There's a documentary that isn't supposed to be any good, but the book, Hunt for the Skinwalker is. Plus there are a bunch of podcasts with George Knapp talking about the weird things that happen there. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinwalker_Ranch

The book is fantastic, I highly recommend reading it.


EDIT Just a quick sum up before I get murdered for posting this in r/UFOs. The ranch had just about every phenomena you could ask for, including UFOs.

EDIT 2 UFO info at 35:00

Astonishing Legends Podcast did a 3-part series on Skinwalker that was quite good. The book Hunt for the Skinwalker is also worth reading.

I'm going to have to say it is a tie between three books that kept me reading until i finished them once i started... we'll go in order of time taken to read them: 1st: Hunt for the Skinwalker by Colm A. Kelleher, George Knapp - paranormal/pseudoscience type stuff, highly entertaining for a spooky read about "real" happenings on a ranch in Utah.. very creepy "facts" took me maybe an hour to read fully, but it was mostly due to me being really interested in it...

number 2: The Taking by Dean Koontz A couple lay down for bed, listening to the beautiful rain, until something starts to seem.. off.. and then the world shuts down.. i would say scifi/horror/thriller in this one.. it has many mixed reviews but i sat up from the time i started it to the end, about 2 hours maybe 3 during the night to finish it.. think, invasion, monsters and creepy stuff.. if you're into that sort of stuff. i love horror and stuff that makes me get the heebie jeebies.

Now for the last as it took the longest out of the three to read but that does not mean it is last.. Intensity by Dean Koontz About a girl who's had an ok life after she got out of the bad stuff her parents had her in, and finds herself thrown into the midst of a fight for your life incident that wont let go.. Thriller horror mostly murderer horror, not monsters.. but it draws you in and makes you keep reading.. one day i would like to see the movie they made about it, but i am always disappointed.. it kept me on the edge of the seat for so many parts.. it was awesome. I started reading it at about 4:30pm one day and then kept reading way past 11pm, had to stop a few times for dinner/bathroom breaks.. sat on the front porch in the night reading it until i finished it. loved the "intensity" of it.

My book list, feel free to get used copies if it's cheaper!

My Favorite Book!

Another terrifying book out there is Hunt for the Skinwalker. This book scared me like no other, though it falls into the non-fiction category.

Try this book. Even though it isn't about Skinwalkers in the traditional Navajo sense, there is a very good description of what Skinwalkers are and what they do. It's the best description I've found.

There's this book that was published at least. Not sure if the writers worked on Bigelow's team, but seems to fit in with that?

Leslie Kean published an excellent book called UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record and she and James Fox have an updated documentary based on this book called UFOs on the Record.

A lot of people disparage the alien encounter phenomenon but the late Dr. Mack's books on the subject are excellent, most recent: Passport to the Cosmos - it includes Dr. Mack's interviews with the students at Ariel school who had a mass encounter.

Hunt for the Skinwalker by Colm Kelleher and George Knapp is one of the most fascinating books - and definitely the freakiest - that I've ever read. It takes a clinical and journalistic approach to a completely bizarre collection of phenomena centered on the Skinwalker Ranch in Utah.

In the quote section, don't forget the astronaut from Apollo 17 who told Houston there was definitely something out there.

My advice on the website as a whole is to separate substantiated stories from unsubstantiated (like the Eisenhower meetings) - that's not a comment on whether or not these stories are legit, but I think it's more helpful for people unfamiliar with the phenomenon to have a resource of airtight reportage to look at.

Good site though - good luck!

Or buy the book https://www.amazon.com/Hunt-Skinwalker-Science-Confronts-Unexplained/dp/1416505210.

It’s amazing. The range of activity stretched all my understandings.

Too much to put in a post.

Watch the video.

I think one of the most popular accounts of Skinwalker activity come from Skinwalker Ranch in Utah. It's certainly where I first heard about it, and some of the stuff is unsettling. I'm currently reading the book they published on it, but at a slow pace because I do my reading at night and it's probably not the best time to do that.

Have you heard of it? And what do you make of these kinds of stories?

Some actual reports of the paranormal activity from the previous owner of the ranch, and things that happened after Robert Bigelow bought the ranch out and installed his employees there. Very crazy shit.

That Skinwalker Ranch place had a book written about it and one report from an eyewitness had a little vortex open up and bigfoot pop through lol. I think we live in a universe that overlaps many others and aliens/UFOs/loch ness monster etc are things that occasionally 'bleed through' into our world.

This book

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes the concept of this movie.
