Have Alien UFOs Visited Skinwalker Ranch?

Skinwalker Ranch catapulted to virality in 2020, both as a hot spot for paranormal activity fueled by native folklore about Skinwalkers, as well as its history of UFO and alien sightings. While the whole of the Uintah Basin has experienced strange goings on about the wilds, the Sherman family came forward with some more specific, and for the most part downright odd, stories about the property. Could any of it be true? Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

[@joshuabadach1448]

It’s unfortunate, but stories and legends change with tellings over time. Another good example is how Vikings had horned helmets. It gets exponentially worse when you have something like the internet, it’s no longer local but a global game of broken telephone.

[@lalli8152]

​​​@@joshuabadach1448i dont think american old native stories the problem is retelling or something although obviously through time those oral stories in their communities as well changes. The bigger problem is people outside that cultural knowledge just making stuff up without the cultural connection. Good example is bigfoot, and how bigfoot proponent community uses supposed native sightings to make it sound more legit from their legends even when they have nothing to do with bigfoot or any large apes. So in that sense its similar vikings wearing horned helmets since its not retelling of something, and that slowly changing the tale as the story evolves, but more like people centuries later with very little original cultural connection intact just deciding to depict viking raiders that way.

[@dubiousinformation1756]

Just a comment about the lack of police reports at 28:27 in the video. We handle things ourselves most of the time without calling anyone in the tricounty even today let alone when there was even fewer people in the 90’s. There are about 15-20 officers on duty in the whole Uintah Basin at once probably counting the two cities with a police depts( only Roosevelt and Vernal have them) for over 8,000 sq miles of area and about 50,000 people who may be very spaced out. If no one’s bleeding out or a person isn’t dead, we don’t bother the sheriff, he’s busy. So dead cow isn’t going to get a phone call till it’s REALLY severe.

My friends mother answered very quickly ,and very sharply " because of the skin walkers, please dont ask about it again". I never forgot about that , im still not sure if I believe in them .

Most tribal elders will refuse to even talk about "skinwalkers," as providing people with any the knowledge of the dark paths is practically giving them directions. We promethean westerners want to enlighten ourselves, even at the cost of dangerous knowledge.

To add to our legends. The ways to kill our “skin walkers” is to kill the animal as they are controlling it or to destroy their head (bullet, knife even a rock will work) while they are controlling the animal. If you kill the animal, the person dies. If you kill the person, their mind slowly gets taken over by the animals original mind and the lose control and just see through the animals eyes without being able to do anything or control anything. They are stuck until the animal dies. This might also explain some of the kill the werewolf and the the person dies. We have loads of supernatural history.

[@deohere7647]

In essence, a skin walker is someone who takes sacred medicine and makes it profane. It is someone who brute forces their way into being a shaman by breaking taboos and casting away their ties to socieity in every sense of the word. Often, those who are between worlds find themselves there not by choice but by happenstance and destiny. There is power to be had within this field but also great responsibility. A skin walker is the name for what amounts to an evil animist, someone who takes up this profession for personal gain and is corrupted by the power. Many animistic cultures hve stories similiar to this and my best advice is to not follow this road.

[@dianauwu1312]

So, is it really just similar to a witch/wizard who uses "dark magic" (so, magic intended to hurt others or for purely selfish reasons) or is that not really an accurate comparison.

[@cruelcimmcia859]

Dark Druid 🌳🧙🏼‍♂️🌲

[@deohere7647]

Sacred Medicine workers, shamans, and animists are traditionally given that mantel because they were marked for it. Typically, at a young age they had an experience with death via illness, injury, or something else before receiving training from current practiconers. Often, many do not complete this training and take on other roles. It's often viewed as soemthing someone is born into and requires a certain disposition as well as being closer to the other side. Many stories of people shedding their humanity for power is interwoven with people doing anything for this power. Casting away their standing here on the mortal side to embrace being on the other side. It's not a dark druid or a dark witch so much as someone who actively throws away their humanity, community, and ties to this world along with all ethical baring in hopes of gaining power. The process of doing this, of taking an extreme left hand path approch often results in someone who is extremely negative and if they manage to achieve actual power well... It won't be good for anyone.

And as someone who has also dabbled in black magic and really dark shit when I was younger, black magic doesn’t even touch the skinwalker shit.

So yeah, tldr as a Diné woman who practices magic and was raised in NAC, OP explained it pretty well.

The Person becomes one with the animal spirit. This person can astro glide into their spirit animal and control the animal for short periods of time. This makes some people believe that the person can change into the animal, but the person goes into a trance and sends their mind into an animal that they are “bonded” to, some being buffalo, some lions etc. Maybe that is the spiritual transformation/physical transformation misunderstanding.

The point was Aiden said he wouldn’t come check out the area because you have to sign an NDA for Skinwalker ranch. My point is there’s other places with a creepy backstory/legends near there that don’t require an NDA to investigate. The Buffalo Soldiers and the Masonic ceremonies are very real and an awesome historical tidbit, even if the “path of the skinwalker “ isn’t.

[@MountainHobbler]

@@lizziebreath9 Seems to me if you care about where we live you might consider discussing the negatives it has had here. Some of us enjoyed the quiet and lack of crowds before Fugal decided to make this go viral for his own financial gain.

[@lizziebreath9]

@@MountainHobbler What crowds? We get a handful of tourists out here for Skinwalker versus the thousands that come out for Dinosaur towards Vernal. I haven’t seen anything close to extra traffic since the last powwow or any noise disturbances since that big thing that sounded like an explosion the other day on one of the fracking platforms. I haven’t even heard from anybody in Ballard really having an issue with tourists. I don’t think the Basin is ever going back to the economy being majority agriculture and the energy industry which is probably what it will take to go back to a more quiet less touristy economy. Roosevelt and for the most part Duchesne at this point are majority service industry as the economy and that has more to do with politics well outside of the Basin telling rural communities all over the damn state that our only options are appealing to tourists. I don’t think we should just drive people away who might like to check out some unique history we have out here.

I like the hypothetical discussion on what to do in case you are being attacked by the skinwalker. Good to know!

[@elizabethg.1063]

I think it would be insightful to know more about the Sherman family and their history. Like, if someone interviewed family and friends would they say the family is completely normal? Or are they super into the paranormal/ just "not right". Seems highly sus the previous owners said nothing strange ever happened.

[@andrewritter2873]

I've wondered this myself. From what I know, when Terry sold the ranch to Robert Bigelow, he actually worked on the ranch with Bigelows research team. The rest of the family moved away. I find it weird that he went through all these terrifying things yet he still willingly worked on the ranch.

[@krazzykiller1]

they are not completely normal. anyway, if you dig onto it, you start to see what was really going on. in short, the family wasn't going to make it financially, and biggalow was getting tax money from the federal government. I'm pretty sure he had some deep state connections.

[@JimmyG773]

Ive kept up to date with most of the skinwalker ranch stuff. If memory serves me i remember that, when the Shermans where buying the property they noted a lot of locks and chains on the doors and windows. A friend of the previous owners to the Shermans also stated that the owner had kept the chains and locks on, because he got "visitors" regularly.

[@_NutcasE_]

Honestly seems like a huge fabricated story during a time people were not as skeptical. I get people romanticize mysteries and mythos, but this seems like a very clear fabrication. Unless ofc people have undeniable data and not repetitive reactionary sightings that morph as they hear more of previous sightings to be more similar. I too recognize patterns. The whole shot with magnum twice i am mighty sus about. Just twice? You shot a bigass wolf coyote twice and it just walked away uninjured?

I’ve come to the conclusion that Skinwalker Ranch, Oak Island, and shows like Ghost Adventures are just all a bunch of entertaining hooey born from minute kernels of truth. Also, the reason it’s hard to get Navajos to talk about Skinwalker I believe is because they believe that talking about them is risking attracting them, something they certainly don’t want to do.😊

[@Flails]

Have you or anyone that you personally know had any experiences out of the ordinary that have been thought to be attributed to the ranch? Just curious to get a take from someone who lives there.

[@Princess_Celestia_]

@@Flails I met one of the guys who drilled those wells lucamnunez8201 mentioned in his post. He lived in a company trailer that sat on south side of the Skinwalker Ranch property, like he was so close to the property he could piss from the trailor's back door and the stream would land on Skinwalker Ranch, this was back when the Sherman's owned the ranch and were claiming all this paranormal bulls**tery was going on. He said he and his crew never saw anything but lights off in the distance from company men checking on the wells, batteries and pumpjacks at night that literally surround the Ranch. He also said he and his men did EVERYTHING they say you shouldn't do out there and nothing happened. This coincides with the claims of the Myers family who owned the Ranch from 1934 to 1994 when they sold the property to the Sherman family who denied anything ever happening when they owned the place, contradicting the Sherman's who claimed the Myers had been plagued by the same paranormal bs. In all likelihood, a lot of the "experiences" the Sherman's claimed, like the lights, where from the oilfield crews doing their thing, drilling oil wells.

It sounds like the Shermans just needed to make a quick buck. Most people on the alien con circuit will tell you, behind the scenes,, that it doesn't take much to become the next big thing. You just have to come up with the wildest story you can think of, and put yourself at the center of it.

If I remember right, they did want/need out of the mortgage, at the time, but, to be fair, the neighbors. did have most of the stories, so maybe they were just trying to spook the outsiders. I think someone's relative had even lost their bid for the property, or something.@@martyr_lightsilver1833

I remember reading about Skinwalker Ranch in my teens, over 12 years ago. It was the ONLY reason I wanted to fly over the US at the time. I am from Australia and half my family live in California. This peaked my interest so much that I did end up visiting Skinwalker, I camped off the land on public land and unfortunately I didn't see aliens. It did feel like I was being WATCHED by something... Even now I still look behind me because of the extreme paranoia I experienced camping closeby. But this could be BECAUSE I knew its history and that quelled the anxiety.

[@Elemarth]

I thought the previous owners eventually admitted that weird things did happen, but they just ignored it, because paying attention made it worse. But that might also be made up.

Near the 23:00 minute marker, when you said the part about "orange colored portals" I audibly gasped. Lemme explain: often when someone sees a Bigfoot or a Gray alien, or just other strange entities, they're often accompanied, or rather, preceeded by orange colored lights or orbs that appear as "bubble lights" some have described. It just struck me as something meaningful that with all the high strangeness in the area of the Sherman Ranch, orange lights or portals are also reported. One of the stranger things of the Sherman Ranch, to me, anyways, is the loud banging and clunking and rumbling they often hear "coming from underground" and "sounds like heavy machinery running or doing work". What could THAT be?

[@laznoland4558]

A Skinwalker at least from my understanding of their lore is a shaman, medicine man, or any “elder” type person who uses taboo magic to transform into beasts using the pelts. This leads to them becoming more animal than man as time goes on. With the animal transformation, been harder and harder to leave each time. From what I understand they physically change and spiritually change, and it leaves to corruption of mind and body. That’s just my understanding of it, and I could be wrong as all of this is ether second hand from a native friend of mine who hails from the Area or the internets horrid web of lies.

I just found this video recommended for me. I'm originally from the Uintah Basin, have family and lots of friends out there and I distinctly remember when that jackass Sherman bought the place from the Myers and started making all these insane claims. Everyone in the Basin thought it was ridiculous and absurd because when the Myers owned it nothing ever happened (family members were friends with the Myers). I will tell you that there are a LOT of drugs as well as firearms and explosives in the Basin (a dude murdered and blew up his ranch hands with dynamite in the 90s) and in the early to mid 90s there was a bad mountain lion problem for the ranchers and their livestock. I honestly get tired of being asked about that place when people who watch that show find out where I'm from. It's bunk, in my opinion Sherman lied his ass off and every subsequent owner of the property has grifted to their benefit.

[@calebreynolds9183]

Dire wolves were actually foxes, so that story is bullshit

[@vergil8833]

Well, the idea of the werewolf as we know it probably comes from the berserkers, specifically the wolf clothes variant, the ulfhednar. Depictions of them pre-viking age are the oldest depictions of half-man half-beasts. The stories from Greece or Rome about people taking their clothes off and turning into wolves is probably not the actual origin of werewolf. They lack the "were" part of it, they just turn into wolves, not rampaging man-wolves. In the later stories in the north we often see physical transformations, not just spiritual ones. Theres a berserker who literally turns into a rampaging unstoppable bear for example. A story like that involving an ulfhedinn is probably the origin of werewolves as we know them, helf-wolf half-man monsters. That ofc has nothing to do with skinwalkers in NA, but it makes for a much more compelling monster int he woods. Just some dude wearing fur isn't as scary.
