r/SkinWalker

(Disclaimer: This is information that I'vr been told from medicine men and family members who are native american. Im not sure why we dont speak of them outside of our group. If you dont believe in this, then dont comment. Ive had multiple encounters. Inc my family.) Skinwalkers, yee naaldlooshii, are witches simply put. Social media has messed up the image of what they are, making them seem like they're white figures or mimic-like creatures, but they're just people. People who do certain ceremonies to a certain animal skin who then can become it who have some sort of degree of knowledge. I was told that that can only do this during the night although Im not sure why. They get their power from the air. They possess certain abilities like being able to travel distances through the air and "hexing" people through the air. Usually, the witches are just people who want to do harm to you and get some sort of pleasure out of it. When you see one, say its a wolf on the side of the road while you're driving, you will immediately pass out. Shivers will go through your entire body and you won't be able to move. This is usually why you keep tádídíín(corn pollen) and cheé di kózh (red bitter powder) with you. It's supposed to protect you from the witch. If you take the bitter powder and corn pollen, then you'd be able to keep driving. Just ignore it. Usually after an encounter, your best bet is to schedule an appointment with a medicine man where they can do a ceremony for you to protect you against evil. I've done multiple of these ceremonies. Let me know if you want me to share my experiences/my family's.

This is copied over from where I typed it to a friend, and came to the realization I could get answers here. Its long, its been a little over a year since the initial first contact. Please ask questions if any arise, I want to get this thing to leave us the fuck alone.

the scariest thing has been happening to me since last year yall, so this is gonna be long so dont read it if u dont wanna 😭 basically last summer my friends & i all wanted to play manhunt while at our friend lehtons house, and it was boys vs girls so me and my friend nessa being the only women there, were the manhunters first. we started the game all was fine, i tagged nessas brother first so he joined our team, prompting us to split up from her brother, justin, to go around both sides of the house and pin them in the backyard. WELL, nessas boyfriend lehton, and his friend jayden, were coming up one side of the house, while nessa and I were in the back yard in front of a trail head that was in his backyard, leading into the woods. we heard something go BARRELING into the woods, so naturally thinking it was them, we chased it into the woods. now it gets very unbelievable from here but i promise this truly happened to me, from the moment we entered the woods, we could HEAR lehton and jaydens voices laughing and telling us “we’re right here!” and when i tell you it sounded like they were only FIVE FEET ahead of us the entire time. we’d get right on top of them then boom, five more feet down the trail into the woods. now mind you, flashlights were agains the rules, so we could not see shit ahead of us. if we turned around, we could maybe see the back porch light if we looked at the right angle. so as we are following them into the woods, we are literally gripping onto each other, then we hear LEHTON AND JAYDEN, SCREAMING our names from the FRONT FCKING YARD. So we obviously didnt even stop for a split second, just turned and SPRINTED back down the trail. we immediately found them and js told them all to come inside, literally begging them to come into the house and they thought we were just trying to lure them in to tag them. well, when they FINALLY come into the house, lehton and jayden tell us that as they were coming up the side of the house, they saw what looked like a naked man run into the woods, which is why they were screaming bloody murder for us from the get go. So, we all break down, terrified, no one goes home that night bc we are too scared to even look out the windows. We all slept on the bedroom floor below the windows. 🫠

(copied text ends here)

A year later, two weeks ago, we are sitting outside, around 30 feet from the trailhead by the back porch. Its around 9PM. We started talking about that night, and what we really might’ve followed into the woods. We had been drinking this specific night, which is why we stupidly began to ramble on it. Well, the speaker that was PLUGGED INTO THE WALL, shut off. We literally jumper up from our chairs, and just all stared at the trail head, honestly expecting to see it. But there was nothing. We moved inside for the night again, and didn’t talk about it anymore for two more weeks.

Today was the last straw with this thing. We again, began to speak about it, this was maybe at 7PM, 5 hours ago. We are in FL. We leave to go to taco bell, come back, and her brand new silkie chicken, is missing into thin air. Now I know what you’ll say, but this was not a dog or a raccoon or some coyote. This coop was in the EXACT same condition it was left in, the master lock was still on the door. There was not a SINGLE popped wire on the fence, not a SINGLE feather, not even a drop of blood ANYWHERE. I’m telling you, it was like we imagined this chicken’s entire existence. The others were untouched, and completely un phased. Now if anyone here is a chicken owner, you know how weird that is. A completely secured coop, with no past fatalities in almost three years, suddenly has a chicken go missing into thin air? The youngest and most valuable at that? I aint buying it. Our bf’s are outside, in the boat under it’s cover with rifles as we speak. They will be out there all night.

Please. We are done. It’s terrorizing us worse than ever before and we cannot take it. We’re worried it’ll go for a more valuable living thing next.

FOLLOWING MORNING UPDATE: They saw nothing, heard nothing, nothing happened. We are almost inclined to go outside and begin talking about it on purpose to see what happens next. We are just very confused. Also yes, the coop is secured over the top as well so it wasnt a hawk or a bird. We know what it was. Because nothing else could get in and out of a coop without leaving some type of carnage. There’s wire ran three feet underground completely around the coop as well, so nothing can dig in. There’s literally no way into this coop aside from the door, with a master lock.
