In this episode we discuss the legend of the Navajo Skinwalker – a shapeshifting Native American witch that has reached the highest tiers of priesthood. These terrors are known to chase cars at remarkable speeds and are frequently seen spying through windows of homes in order to strike fear into their victims. The Navajo people almost universally accept the existence of these poltergeist-like creatures however sightings are rare and usually limited to those of the Navajo nationality. What is this strange menace? Is it fact or fiction? Tune into this episode and learn a little bit more about the Skinwalker!
I like stories of the skinwalkers, they’re truly a terrifying creature/human thing. I wish there was an actual good movie based on them.
Jason, researching this episode definitely made it hard for me to sleep for a few days… if you don’t like the movie, I encourage you to read some of the personal accounts on the internet, as they can be far more entertaining and there are certainly a lot out there!
If this is a nativ indian Navajo thing, how could it then exists in Sweden?! …
We haven’t heard of any such stories of Skinwalkers from Sweden! Would be very interesting to hear about such cases and see what similarities it shares with Native American legends.
