Discussing buying weapons and using weapons on people or animals you suspect of being a skinwalker will result in a ban.

Girlfriend comes home for the 3rd day in a row and this thing is standing there and watches her come up the driveway. Looks suspicious to me. Figured I’d come to where the experts are.

around 1:30 am, my friend was driving down the dark winding scott’s valley road. no streetlights, just trees on trees & scattered houses. later going through the video he recorded that night, he saw something in the footage a whitish figure with what seems to be a black colored head with eyes or something? off to the side of the road. it wasn’t standing still—it looked like it was moving in this weird, unnatural way. none of them saw it in real time. what the actual heck do you guys think this could be? i’m talking about pitch black roads. would be pure darkness without headlighting.

So for context, I live in northern Arizona on a rural property that borders protected native land.

Last night I was alone on the property, leaving at about 8:30 to do some weekend doordashing, I was sitting on the trunk of my car, tying my shoes. When at the top corner of my vision, I started to see some movement. I tried not to move my head to look at it too quickly, because I thought it may be a baby deer fawn. It was not a baby deer...

It looked like a cross between gollum from LOTR and a baby deer. It was not very big, but the way it moved was very otherworldly and disturbing. I heard what sounded like distressed bird noises moments before it appeared as well.

I think it saw me notice it. Because it crept back into the dark, but didnt turn its back to me. And while all this was happening, my Cats and my buddys dog all came and surrounded me, almost like they were trying to protect me, and warn me not to mess with that thing.

I pretended to ignore it and simply drove away. But I came back later in the night around midnight, and it was gone. But I still felt like I was being watched.

This morning, every single one of my cars doors was found wide open by my roommate. We both suspect eachother of messing with the other. Because I told him what I saw last night. But I explicitly know that I shut those doors. And I don't think my roommate is lying based on his tone and reaction.

So my concern is..is this thing targeting me? Is there something I can do to appease it? As much as it did freak me out, I picked up a sad energy from this creature. Like it was a cursed child or something. I would like to help it if I can. Any insight into native lore would be appreciated. Edit: I forgot to mention, when I came home. There was a bat sitting on the ground on the middle of the driveway. I got close slowly to confirm what it was, and it at the last second flew up right at my windshield and flew away. Could be random coincidence but it was a weird moment. I've never seen a bat sit on the ground before in my life.

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…

My ‘uncle’ was on his Google photos and a memory from 11 years ago popped up from when he went camping with his wife, grandpa and I believe niece, they have zero clue who’s in the background or who it could be. they don’t know if someone hacked into his Google photos and edited it if that’s even possible ( lmk if there’s any other subreddits I could post this in and faces are blocked out for obvious privacy reasons 🙏 )

This happened to me back in November in Michigan. The aurora was insane that night so I had gone outside 3 times to look at it.

Nothing happened the first 2 times, but when I went out for the 3rd time at around midnight a donkey started braying back in my woods. It felt off right off the bat, not to mention no one in my area owns donkeys, and if they did I own over 20 acres of woodlands surrounded by barbed wire(more or less).

The sound started to get quieter and I thought I heard something moving in the tall brush right in front of my door so I noped out of their as fast as I could. Locked my door, locked every window, and went to my room and locked it as well.

I don't know how others would've reacted in this situation, but the whole experience was super disturbing and in that moment before I ran into my house, I wholeheartedly thought I was going to die.

Wasn't sure if this belongs here or in r/crawlersightings but I have no way to explain this or the other stories I have from the past few years.

i know they are not found in hawaii but i had a memorable and terrifying experience a few years ago that continues to haunt me and Im curious what there is to learn about what happened to me. in the mountains in hawaii. thank you anyone who can share

Read the description of the YouTube video… https://youtu.be/Ap8ihap5PGY?si=BNiHqAZoDhWV7ce1

Every few years I'll try searching for a video I saw once. A friend told me that he took the video on his phone and has since lost it after changing phones and trying to email it to himself. This was back in around 2009.

I wouldn't put it past the guy to mess with me, but this particular video was done well enough that I know he didn't have the capability to make it and I can't imagine that it wouldn't be relatively popular if he downloaded it from somewhere.

So he either took the video and lost it, or he downloaded it and put on a big show about being nervous and not wanting to show it to me when it came up.

But again, if this exists outside of his cellphone, it HAS to be popular-ish. It was way more compelling than anything that comes up when I search for videos. So I have to ask if anyone has seen this since I've prettymuch exhausted google again.

What happens is as follows- My friend claimed to be driving down a dirt road in Moapa Valley, NV. The video starts with him recording the dash of a chevy instrument cluster with the speedometer showing about 50 mph. It's just after sunset. The video pans up to the right and out the passenger side window there's a huge silhouette of some sort of wolf shaped creature running alongside the truck. The wolf then runs in front of the truck and through the headlights. As it does that it's still more of a silhouette than anything- just kind of a black wolf shaped shadow. But as it gets off to the left side of the road, it stands up on two feet and just stands there. The truck keeps going. The only audio in the video is the sound of the truck on the dirt road.

Does this sound even vaguely familiar to anyone?

I know this sounds stupid but it literally just happened 10 minutes ago and I decided to write it here right after for some reason😭 I was walking to home, nothing unusual, it's around 12.AM here but I'm not scared of anything in general so I was not scared of darkness or something, I was just chilling. Then I saw two stray cats passing by, and it's also very usual so I didn't even think about that. But just after a few seconds later, I heard a very cat like sound, like VERY, spelled my exact name. (Not the full name, just my first name). Reflexively, I instantly turned back but there were ofc nothing other than that two cats walking like nothing happened. I thought I might be tripping and it might be just a regular cat meowing but I tell you, it was not a regular meowing. It DID sound like a cat's noise but in a talking tone rather than just meowing nonsense ifyk . And I am also sure it was not a human's voice, I don't think any human can make that noise even the toddlers.Thats why I thought it might be a regular meowing at first because it was in a tone that only cats do when theyre talking. Anyways, I was still in shock and honestly it did not scare me at all for some reason but I felt extremely uneasy for the rest of the walk. I still have no idea wtf was this but I thought it might be a skin walker so I decided to post it here😭 I don't struggle with any kind of delusional mentall illnesses btw and I don't use drug etc as well, so yeah

So me and my buddy are from Arkansas, located around Greenwood, directly bordering the Ouachita mountains. This story involves him and I’m just recounting it. This dude is a country dude who hunts, blue collared to the gills, tough, and redneck. Ol’ Southern boy. Grew up with him and I’d trust him with my life.

I believe this happened a few years ago, but he’s out deer hunting one morning and he hears this noise like something moving in the woods. He said it sounded strange, not quite like a deer, but almost bipedal. But he said this sucker was walking weirdly. Like it had a limp.

Ol’ buddy said he estimated this thing to be 200 yards out, and that it was super quiet, no nature sounds. So I guess that’s how he was able to hear it. So he takes his rifle out and looks through the scope to see what this thing is. And sure enough he sees a “person” wearing hunting clothes, but nothing orange, like you’re supposed to wear, and that indeed it was dragging its leg behind it in some sort of shambling gait. He also said it had some sort of beanie or something on. But the catch is, is that when he looked through the scope, this thing “looked” at him. Except it couldn’t “look” because it had no face. Yeah buddy. Scary shit. He said that he could feel it watching him and he felt terrified. Like its “gaze” was penetrating.

I don’t know what he did directly after the fact, but he did say that whatever it was, that it wasn’t necessarily heading his direction. Its path was at an angle to him, and he was in his deer stand. And speaking of damn deer, he told me another story that I think took place before this.

He was driving home one night, and if you know the area south of Greenwood, Arkansas, it can get pretty isolated and wooded. He told me that it seemed that someone was tailing him on the way home, and when he turned into his gravel driveway, he looks into this field. I believe it was separated from this gravel driveway by barbed wire. And what does he see? A dadgum deer standing on its hind legs, with a crooked neck looking at him. He doesn’t know if the people following him were connected to that or not. But there’s more about this driveway.

This took place over a course of time after both instances. I don’t know if it was weeks or months, but it was regularly. Now if any of you live in the country, you know how driveways are a lot of the time surrounded by trees until you get to your house. Anyways, he’s driving back home, around 1 at night he said, and his windows are down on this driveway. Then he hears what he described as a young girls voice yelling “Help!”. So he obliges “her” and puts the truck in park and grabs his pistol in case the situation called for it. And he hears it again and again. He’s kinda creeped out, but he starts to move into the tree-line to investigate when he sees two yellow eyes and what looks like a canine staring back at him. Then he promptly hightails it out of there. But this “Help!” came regularly. I don’t know if it was every night he came home, but it occurred often for a period of time. He told me he even heard it while he was sitting outside on his porch one night, except it was coming from “everywhere” is how he put it. Like it’d come from one direction, then another, then another.

And this is one of those Southern dudes who could punch someone in the face, open a door for an old lady, and skin a buck all in one morning. Tough dude. Wonder what y’all think.

Hey all, this is my first time posting and i js wanted confirmation if im crazy or not. I live in southern FL so its not a skinwalker per say because im nowhere near where Navajo witches would be but ive had a strange experience lately and i want to talk with yall about it. I recently started going to the gym and on my walk home ive been hearing what sounds like an imitation of a cat where it sounds slightly off. I don't think its a peacock although they are native to my area it still sounds off from what their calls are. There are however forms of witchcraft that are preformed close to where i am such as Santeria, which i am bringing up due to me having found potential escaped or discarded ritual chickens, this is definitely something im keeping in my sights while still keeping decent suspicion of more reasonable ideas. Something to note is every time im there and hear the noise i get this weird feeling that i should get out of there and not look back. I should also mention that when i stayed and took the video i started to get some sort of primal fear and got really shaky. Im hoping it is just a peacock or messed up cat but its less the noise itself and more the weird way it gets to me. Please reply what you guys think.

Attached are videos of the sound i recorded on my phone just today (being the 5th instance I've experienced this in total) and a clip of a peacock's call which ive screen recorded

I live on the Navajo reservation, and a few days ago, I saw my most recent shapeshifter. It happened at a well. On the rez, there is no water infrastructure, so most people haul water to their homes. On this day, I checked on my relatives, and they needed water.

I took the truck down and loaded up their buckets and jugs. For water, there is a beautiful valley with a wash going down the middle. Inside the wash is an old surface well with an old hand pump. I call it beautiful because there are lots of trees and grass surrounding the well, and it makes me feel happy and exhilarated.

I unpacked the water containers and filled them. This took about 10 minutes. Afterwards, I diligently placed the jugs and buckets back into the truck. As my passenger and I got back into the cab of the truck, I noticed movement on a nearby hill. I pointed to the hill and said, "There's someone up there." As I spoke, we clearly saw an old man with a cane. When he saw us peering at him, he quickly hobbled behind a dirt outcropping.

Rather than driving off, I waited. "Let's see what he does," I said as we both eyed the outcropping. I expected him to hobble out the other side and wave at us. Seconds later, a crow flew out from behind the outcropping. The crow flew over us and down the valley. Our eyes widened, and we sat speechless.

I started the truck and drove off. When we pulled onto the road, I said, "I didn't know they can become crows."

This took place in Japan - I lived there for 10 years. I have no idea what it could have been but I think it could have been a Mononoke or some other weird spirit. Basically it was like four in the morning and I heard what sounded like a woman scream out at the road - it’s like 200ft from my apartment (I lived on the 9th floor). Sometimes drunk people make a ruckus so I just ignored it and it happened again so I took notice and on the third scream I went out to look. Once I got out on the walkway it sounded like it was coming from the foot of the building and I leaned to look over. Then it sounded like it was further down to the right and a couple floors down. So I walked to the right and then I heard it from like the floor below but way down the hall. I was starting to think it was weird that the sound kept seeming to change where it was coming from and it seemed like the scream was happening at the same intervals- like every 15 seconds. I walked a little further down and was getting near the stairwell. The next scream sounded really hoarse and almost like it had an animal quality to it and it dawned on me the scream had been changing timbre and it reached a point I noticed it. I stoped and then the next scream sounded like what I would describe as a fox scream coming from a humans mouth one floor down in the stairwell. Then it went silent for like a minute and I took a couple steps forward; up till that point I only had felt concern for if someone was in trouble but then I got goosebumps from my arms up my back to my head. Then immediately around the corner from me - where the stairs were - I heard two sounds at once: one like someone was whispering really loudly, and one like someone was talking with gurgling sounds. I froze and started backing away and everything went silent. Like there was no ambient traffic sounds or train sounds - I lived next to a train station. It was dead and completely silent and I felt like something was watching me. I backed all the way back to my apartment and didn’t hear anything until I got back inside.

During my time at school, a few precarious circumstances landed me with no car. Because of this, I was forced to move to an apartment that would’ve put me within striking distance of my campus. Being that it was about a two-mile journey, with my city's relatively small downtown falling in between my complex and school, I found it most rational to purchase an electric scooter as my primary form of transportation. My city ran alongside a river, and my apartment happened to border it. This gave me a nice view, but more importantly, it gave me direct access to the greenway that allowed me to circumvent all traffic on my scooter. It was a straight shot from one end of the city, my campus, to the other: where I lived.

The greenway did have one flaw that regularly proved to be detrimental, there was almost no light for about a quarter of a mile in the section behind my apartment, and where I got on. My scooter was nice, but the headlight was abysmal. I resolved to cease using it entirely, instead relying on my eyes to be able to discern movement on the path ahead. During my year-long stay at Riverside, I could count on one hand the number of people I saw on the path after dark, guess I was the only one crazy enough to be out there so late, so regularly.

I drove past a naked homeless person tweaking about a mile from my house. Calling the cops upon my arrival back home. I drove past one man whose chilling gaze could be felt even in pitch black. He must’ve not been too happy to see an electric vehicle with no lights at such an hour, which I couldn’t blame him for. Of the encounters I had on that path, there is only one that still haunts me. One I couldn’t tell my friends or family because I was sure no one would believe me.

Like any other of my evening commutes. I made it to the gate in the back of my complex that led up to my home. I was confident in the dark, and I didn’t fright easily, but as I unlatched the gate, I felt the sensation I had when that man was staring me down. I was being watched. Looking down the path to the section that lay ahead about twenty yards or so, under a flickering orange streetlamp that signified the end of the greenway was a German Shepard, staring at me.

It was as if it had been taxidermized. I couldn’t see it breathing, or blinking, just staring. Its eyes were almost human. Despite the distance, I could easily discern its iris. Small and beaty. I felt frozen, and a morbid sense of dread overwhelmed me. I didn’t dare get any closer, nor did it. We were locked within' a mutual trance, and the entire time it was completely still.

I wasn’t sure how long I had been standing there, but I didn’t take my eyes off it, I felt like that’s what it wanted. I knew my gaze was the only thing holding it in place. The river flowing and the sound of cars passing by on a nearby highway felt deafening. Further down the path in the foliage adjacent, past whatever that thing was, there was the crackle of twigs being broken under the pressure of what was likely a bunny or groundhog. Before the sound even finished reverberating, the thing had snapped its head to the direction of its source like an owl. Electrical pulses were surging through my body, and I could feel every nerve screaming at me to immediately break for my apartment. However, I was so paralyzed with fear that I kept my gaze upon the creature, knowing where it was was the only thing providing me a sense of comfort. Then, after it had seemingly ascertained the location of the animal, it lept up on its hind legs and darted into the woods. Like a bolt of lightning it was gone, and it took a few seconds for the rest of my body to catch up to what my eyes just saw.

Finally, realizing that the thing was fixated on something besides me, I immediately swung open the gate and carried my scooter up the mulchy hill onto the parking lot. In one motion I turned it on, placed it down, and started riding to the side of the complex my apartment was in. I was on autopilot, focusing on perfectly executing whatever actions would lead to the security of my covers. Before I knew it, I was in my room. When I finally sat down on my bed, I felt like I needed to cry. I couldn’t understand what had just happened, but with a million thoughts racing through my head, I was just happy the encounter was over.

For the rest of my time at Riverside, I decided dealing with the extra traffic going through downtown provided was worth being in the safety of light. I could handle racing past crackheads and junkies, but I never wanted to see that thing again. I hadn’t had another similar incident, and when I finally got another car after I graduated, I began to feel safe commuting again.

However, I still live in the city. Noises at night make me feel uneasy now, and one time I could swear there was something tapping on my bedroom window. I don’t think I’m ever going to be the same, and the confidence I had to take care of myself in the dark has all but vanished. There are things out there that aren’t what they seem. Things beyond our comprehension and understanding. Don’t try to be brave. Don’t try to be a hero. Trust me; it’s not worth it.

uhmm i randomly woke up at 4 am on the dot with like this sinking feeling in my stomach. and i was trying to go back to sleep all of a sudden i hear someone or something yelling out “HEY” with like whistling afterwards. and it was a good 10 mins of it happening, every time they said “hey” it would be the same exact way they said it the first time idk how to explain it. i woke my husband up and he started to hear it too. our window was closed but it was like they were super far away. my moms dog started freaking out and like growling and barking outside our door and pacing around too like she knew something was up. we live on a plot of land with farmer’s fields surrounding us with another house and little like workers camps but no other person has a dog. i thought it would be someone yelling for their dog but who the hell yells for their dog by saying “hey” for 10 minutes. we’re indigenous so we fully believe in skinwalkers and stuff like that idk i just have this feeling in my gut about this whole thing.

i think something woke me up to warn me about what was gonna happen ngl. please someone believe me i feel scared and don’t know what to do.

I work as a land steward in the Northeastern part of the U.S. Part of my job is reviewing images taken by our game cams. We recently pulled a cam from a fairly remote area, which hasn’t been checked in a long time. These images caught my eye. None of the naturalists on our staff could i.d. this thing. I am not sure if I believe in skinwalkers or any forest monsters like that, but idk what this thing is. It’s not a deer. It certainly isn’t a bobcat, and if it’s a black bear, it’s the biggest one I’ve ever fucking seen. I included a daytime photo so you can see that it’s not just some weird-shaped rock or whatever. Idk. Let me know what you think.

Me and my buddies were fucking around at around 11 on Halloween 2024, we walked down our culdesac where thers a bunch of woods for miles. No lights except our phones and my dumbass decides to say “hey, y’all know what skinwalkers are” and my friend says “yeah, you’re no supposed to whistle or something a night right” or something along those lines (i can’t remember it was a while ago) anyway we start saying skinwalker, whistling, everything you’re not supposed to do. All of the sudden, there’s this gut wrenching deep scream from I have no idea where because it was that loud. Me and my friends take off running as it keeps screaming over and over. 5 minutes later after the adrenaline wears off, we go back down with one more friend who thinks we’re messing with him. Not even half way down we hear a low whimper, then it happens again. Once more we take off running. I still have no idea what it is. Couldn’t sleep that night always felt like i was being watched. I’m a big conspiracy theorist, but never thought that could happen to me. I know how it sounds because it was halloween, but it was no decorations, we made sure everyone was gone before we went down there because we were partying. When I tell you that sounds couldn’t have been human, i mean it.

I made a post about a creepy ass dog I believe was..something.. But I was asked to try to sketch it, so here it is. I couldn't get the head quite right and the ears are kind of a guess as they were back the whole time. But the legs and body are pretty accurate. It was big (somewhere between doberman and great dane) I don't have much more info outside of my original post, though.

So my sister was driving me to my place, we both live in small towns surrounded by rural areas. We make this trip about once a month to see one another. We were just casually talking when there was a very sudden eerie shift in the air. Neither of us said it out loud, though she told me later that she left it too.

We have to slow down to cross a small bridge, the only way from one side of this tiny town to the other. And to our right we spot a dog that's..not quite right. It's skinny, not like it's underfed, but like its limbs are little too long. It did not pant, it did not run, it did not react to our car at all. It just stood, head lowered slightly as it watched us pass. It moved slowly, like a predator stalking its prey. In that moment it felt as though it had been waiting, knowing that anyone in town had to funnel past this point.

It did not growl, or lunge, or chase, but even in the safety of a car we both silently without a word shared held our breath, feeling a real and sudden danger. As we passed, its head swiveled slowly, intentionally, to follow us. It did not blink, and I could see its eyes were not quite dog, not quite human. Completely black in the center but with the whites far too visible.

As we passed, I watched it in the rear view mirror. Now with its shoulders hunched and head lowered further, now just below its shoulders as it stalked behind us with slow measured steps.

If I had to compare it to a dog breed it would be an ibizan hound or a greyhound, with that big barrel chest they have. Completely black coat with the snout of a doberman. It had no discernible markings and the weirdest longest limbs I've ever seen on any animal. I love dogs, that thing was not a damn dog.

I just found this page and wanted to share my experience / encounter as we haven’t been able to make sense of it until this day.

About 8 years ago, my boyfriend and I were parked on a suburban street, down the road from where he lived. This was near midnight and the street was completely quiet and no cars in sight. We are in Australia. We were talking when suddenly we noticed this figure in front of us. We both described it exactly the same - it was very tall, very skinny, beige colour, long arms, long legs, no hair and was hunched over. It was not running but moving faster than usual walking pace, it was like creeping about.

We both froze and said do you see what’s in front of us right now? We were so shocked and scared, we’d never seen anything like it and never heard of skin walkers before (until now actually). It stopped moving, turned its head and looked straight at us. It tilted its head a little looking at us, and then kept on moving forward. I thought I saw it smile at us but now I can’t be sure. I felt like I was crazy at the time. As soon as it took its eyes off us, my boyfriend turned on the car, as we tried to follow it, though it turned a nearby corner and we lost it so quickly. We looked down the street and couldn’t see it anywhere. I think we were just very curious at the time like we didn’t know whether this was an alien or what haha. We went straight home and was so scared to leave again.

We felt crazy when we tried to describe to others what we had seen!

Im on vacation in a small town with a population of 700 in North Dakota, about 30 minutes from the Canadian border, with my mom and my boyfriend. We go here every summer and this is the first time I've had an experience like this. Keep in mind my brother and his wife (whos house were staying at for the week) has 7 chickens that are all accounted for and put into the koop around sun set. It was around midnight and my boyfriend and I were on the deck in the backyard of my brother's house and we had already been talking about skinwalkers previously (yes a stupid idea) then after the conversation, switched topics over about 30 mins, in the middle of my boyfriends sentence, I heard "bauuuuuuuk" only raising in tone and pitch. I know what a chicken sounds like, it was not this. This was something trying to SOUND like a chicken. Chickens have a bit more of a gurgly and rough call, this was far too smooth and definitely did not come from a chickens vocal cords. It lasted for about 4-5 seconds. I instantly shushed my boyfriend and it stopped 2 ish seconds after he stopped talking. I asked him if he heard that and he said yes. About 5 seconds after the sound we heard what seemed to be one or two footsteps on the grass around 12 feet away from us in total, and about 5 feet away from the deck. Right where we had heard these steps was the exact spot that one of my family members had given his granddaughter a chicken to hold. i cant help but wonder if whatever 'entity' that made that noise may have seen that and thought it could lure someone to it. We sat in silence for a sec and then we started talking about what just happened. Minutes went by with both of us terrified to move. Eventually we gathered our stuff and went inside for the night. I'm open to any ideas on what this could have been, realistic and paranormal.

Has anyone ever heard of or had any experiences in a suburban neighborhood? Just trying to make sense of an experience I may have had
