Skinwalkers

[Dr_Fwd]

Anyone ever have any encounters with them on the Western Slope?

Aaahh, what? why?

Aaahh, what? why?

I ask out of curiosity. I have had wierd happenings south of Vernal and then I have drilled all over the Western Slope and had uneasy feeling over Douglas pass and in the Book Cliffs, not to far from Junction. Just curious since there are some members on the Western Slope.

never seen a skinwalker, but I have seen my fair share of drunk indians on the highways of northern new mexico.

I see a skinwalker every day in the White house. He has the ability to walk around in sheeps clothing while he pretends to follow the constitution while really trying to turn us into a some sort of VOO DOO communist socialist fascist progressive country. An evil spirit. Come to think of it the whole lot of them in Washington might be skinwalkers. OH OH

Skinwalkers are something that we have believed in for hundreds of years, its part of are culture not voo doo whatever like all you Indian experts claim.

Thanks for the insight. While some of the "voo doo" comments were simply cultural or political jest, it is good that you can provide clarification.

I had never heard of this until now, but it's interesting to learn about.

Thank you for a real point of view.
Why is it so taboo to talk of experiences or about them?

Ouch!

This is new to me to, but I, too, find it fascinating. Any chance we could get more insight on this custom/tradition?
