Skinwalkers: — This episode steps carefully into a topic rooted in Navajo (Diné) teachings and often kept private. We outline what “skinwalker” commonly means versus the Diné concept of yee naaldlooshii—a harmful witch opposed to medicine and healing—then explore why this subject isn’t casually discussed with outsiders. From there, we trace how roadside lore and pop-culture touchstones like Skinwalker Ranch grew around the core idea, and we share a slate of eerie modern accounts: the “bulletproof” wolf, a midnight chase near Gallup, a farm besieged by mimics, a hitchhiker with the wrong smile, suburban shadows in New York, and a backcountry voice that sounds a little too familiar. Along the way, we emphasize respect for living communities and sacred lands, note protective traditions at a high level, and add historical context like the 1878 Navajo Witch Purge. Curiosity is welcome; care is required.Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin-walker https://www.legendsofamerica.com/navajo-skinwalkers/https://www.legendsofamerica.com/navajo-skinwalkers/ https://skepticalinquirer.org/newsletter/skinwalkers/https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/navajo-skinwalker-legend-gains-massive-192501080.html?guccounter=1https://www.skinwalkerranch.com/https://www.ksl.com/article/50955342/sightings-and-reports-of-skinwalkers-in-utah-throughout-the-yearshttps://cvltnation.com/12-people-tell-their-terrifying-encounters-with-navajo-skinwalkers/https://www.darkstories.org/post/skin-walker-encounters-13491032 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk1AkbS9f1chttps://x.com/KiingDaave2/status/1982534387737477185?referrer=grok-comhttps://www.wattpad.com/244925288-scary-stories-skinwalker
