I wonder if there's similarities between skin walking and hamrammr. Shape or form being part of our multi part soul. Hamr is the part I reference (shape/ form). Would be very interested if you did a video on it or somehow tied it in.
Tansi, I am Plains Cree from Canada. I know a few info about dugo. First, we don't say the name or mention the name. The only time we would speak about it, it would be in a ceremony..
There demons that's what they are they are. A demon shows itself in many forms. I have experienced evil spirits white men living in no reservation. The thing is the bible calls the half demons half humans are called beast of men. The other religions will have different names for it.
I have a quick question, in your last video about skinwalkers you started a story about how you saw all these red lights like red dot lights in the canyon and then the video ended are you going to post the rest of the story?
I appreciate you countering the sudden "everything is a Skinwalker " trend with your knowledge and respect for these topics. I find it hilarious but also ridiculous how Tik Tok has created a whole new type of Skinwalker like its some sort of shape shifting cryptid. 🙄 People have no clue what they're actually dealing with. So thank you, sir, for these excellent and informative videos. Love them!
Ppl r sooo stupid. I think those ppl honestly must not know what the origin of word cryptid is. Obviously skinwalkers n wendigos aren't animals but yet they've convinced themselves that these entities are truly undiscovered animals. Beyond disrespectful to ppls culture and folk history.
I was lucky enough to have a Navajo cell mate in Phoenix federal prison. (I’m white as milk) and he shared a lot of this history with me over months of living together. I just found this channel yesterday, I’m grateful that you are sharing the history. Thank you and Peace brother.
I’m not Dine. I grew up close to the Dine and Ute and I grew up spending a lot of time in the deserts and mountains of that area. These things are not something you mess with. When the natives tell you not to do something, don’t. It’s not a joke. There are monster in the dark places of this world.
My Comanche brother says never to go into Wichita mountains at night. Apparently different entities roam there. He wouldn't even name or describe too much. He was terrified and that is not how his personality is at all. It was worrisome
We should learn to actually listen to our elders and natives instead of just dismissing their advice as mere superstition. If they're telling you to not go somewhere because it's dangerous, just don't go.
Becareful of just what and how much you tell. I grew up on the rez. I know we were tought to not even talk about things we seen with outsiders. Them entities can be summoned by you mentioning them after they let you see them.
I used to suffer from sleep paralysis since I was a child, and i came to realize that right before the attack i could hear a hum or a rapid ticking sound that would alert me to the fact that i was about to be attacked....dont know why but there it is ...i dont experience them anymore thank God because it was scary and stressful ! Not selling anything but it stoped after i became a Christian !
Ur story is very interesting. I have heard of people hearing a specific sound before a paranormal event happening to them. There’s a story on the. “Confessionals podcast”, that u may want to listen to. It’s episode 175. This is not the only story I’ve heard of hearing a weird noise.
What frustrates me, is how a lot of creators are using Skinwalker in the video titles to bait people in. I feel it’s causing some of the confusion within the Skinwalker or Shapeshifter lore. So glad I found your channel brother!
Reservation stories with questions: 1. I used to live on the Salish Kootenai rez in Montana. A few years back a friend there told me Tribal police were called recently about someone running around the round hay bales on one of the farms and scaring the family there. When the police started looking with their car spotlight, someone ran but scared the cops too, because the person had no face, and disappeared running. 2. Another thing that happened to me personally when I was 14- Alone one night at home in January, my dog started growling scared with his hairs standing up, at something outside. He would turn to each door and window where we could hear fresh snow crunching. After maybe 45 minutes it left. In the morning my mother and I went out and found the biggest footprints we had ever seen. They weren’t barefoot, they were moccasin prints. 3. Some of our animals vanished permanently and some returned- young ones that returned had not grown up like their siblings from the same litter or hatch. 4. My dog vanished before spring. We looked everywhere and could even hear her barking somewhere off and on for some time. Weeks passed and the weather warmed and there was no more snow. One evening all of a sudden my dog was scratching at the door to be let inside. When we let her in, she was covered in globs of freshly fallen snow, deep snow that stuck in her long hair. Now the question: Have things like this happened in your area?
@@ShanclenShadowProductions thank you for all your informations. I need to ask you a question. In one or two videos you said, that people can get sick if they are in that tunnels or if they touch that sinister belongings. It reminds me of Greylock. According to the videos all of the workers in that tunnel got sick and made a frightening transformation. What do you think about this case?
I enjoy indigenous lore and stories so much, not just skinwalkers. I like the way you tell the tales, and I'd love nothing more than to know more stories about different beings!
We forget a lot about various traditions of healers, witchcraft for lack of better words, shamans and so on don't fit the moral perspective of what we expect. I know some curse as much as they heal people as well, some go fully bad, failing teaching and tests with spirits and some decided to take easier routs of evil as well.
@@Andalaeknir86true 😢 evil is quicker... more comfortable... Traditional ways are always harder and more demanding, but.... So much more worth it. Speaking from Taoist sorcery perspective at least 🤔
The most dangerous stuff about skinwalkers is their influence, then the spirit side and then their alchemy with corps powder and stuff. i did a video about them a while back. Scary stuff.
Basic white girl, here. I appreciate the information you share and I do not begrudge what you hold back. Thank you for sharing what you can and respecting your elders. I love hearing about other cultures and hearing different perspectives. It gives me so much more to consider when making decisions about how I want to live and what values are important to pass on to my children. Thank you.
CAUSE BY DEAR GOD, CAUSE AND EFFECT. DON'T MESS W THE DEAD. WILL BE ANGRY. ALWAYS USE SALT SAGE, PALO SANTO, ANY INSCENSE AND PRAY. WE CAN NEVER PRAY HARD ENOUGH TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. AND MUST SPEAK OF THE DANGERS. OR THEY WILL NEVER KNOW. THAT'S WHY ALL THE CHILDRENS STORIES TO STAY OUT OF CERTAIN PLACES AND NOT GO INTO THE WOODS ALONE. BLESSINGS.
You don't need to announce yourself with an insulting, politically correct label; the obvious reason you did this was you felt you needed to slightly degrade yourself to placate this non-white guy because you're white. God this is getting old.
"This one time I went out to my grandma's house" is how we have any conversation with our cousin's, my grandma used to live in a trailer like 5 minutes outta Gallop, right across a Chevron
I have a similar story. Gave me chills when you start describing it. I was sleeping in the bed of the truck at my Nali's (parental grandmother) house. It's around 3:30am, clear night and no noise or dogs barking. I was awakened by sniffing, in front of the truck. Slowly the sniffing made its way underneath the truck. A moment later, digging and low banged as it dug. It was scary but scarier was the smell of death. Trying to stay calm and pretending to be asleep the four legged being began standing upright from the tailgate peering over it. If you've seen a coyote you know the shape of the ears. Not a sound from it peering. I could tell it was a man wearing a coyote skin, with ash on his face. A moment passed, he took something from his side put it to his mouth and blew into it with force into me and I felt it warm in my chest. Then he got down from my view then I heard four legs running away fast to the North. I couldn't move. I was paralyzed. I could finally move and I ran baning on the door and told my parents of what I saw. Then my father moved the truck to see what was under the ground. He dug out a wood carving. An image of a man and woman with an arrow shaped as a lightning bolt separating the two. Later that morning they took me to a medicine man. Durning the ceremony, took out a bone from my pec. Two years later, my parents divorced. What the being buried separated my parents. That's my story.
Thanks for sharing. That makes me wonder about who/what skin walkers are, and what purpose they aim to serve. I'm of Mexican background, and some regions are more steeped in witchcraft, to where people go to their local 'brujo/a' which either practices white or dark magic. Most are just people wanting to rid their lives of some evil spirit or energy, while others specifically seek out the dark practitioners to do evil. I've heard stories about this, both in Mexico and the US, but that's for another day. Just makes me wonder though, under the surface of our 'modernity', some cultures still have the beating heart of spirituality, and a clash of good and evil. My initial question is whether SW are normal humans, or if they become spiritual entities like ghosts? Do they withdraw and live on the fringes of our world, or do they walk and talk among us in our everyday lives, when not using the cover of darkness for their deeds? Just questions from an outsider, I don't know if you know the answers. Cheers.
I wonder why it specifically targeted you. I’m not doubting your story at all. It’s just I wonder why paranormal stuff like this happens to certain people and some people will go their whole lives never witnessing anything paranormal.
@dirtydan1861 No, they are humans. not spirits or demons. they are humans delved in witchcraft. They walk among us as regular looking people. nothing more, nothing less
Thank you for this. As a Native American, I've tried to tell these people who are on the SW craze that they're not dealing with a SW. I wish people would do real research before making videos about things that they know nothing about.
I am a locomotive engineer for a railroad in New Mexico (28 years). I live in Las Cruces and work from Santa Teresa to Vaughn NM. I was on a westbound train at around 3am and just west of Corona NM around 50mph looked out my window and saw something that shook me to my core and scared the hell out of me. Saw something running next to my train eye level, a locomotive side window is two stories high. It looked like the coyote head an elongated human body with long freakish arms (ware wolfish pooped in my head) it was staring forward and it turned towards me and it looked like a CGI special effect it looked skeletal I could see bone jaw and teeth and it smiled a really twisted smile and then looked forward, I immediately throttled out on my locomotives and train. I was terrified I grew up on a family ranch summers sleeping in a tent 4 nights a week and do not scare easily. I turned to tell my conductor to come see this thing, but he was asleep. I turned back and my train started to accelerate and this thing couldn’t keep pace and I stared at it in my mirror until it faded away… I still have nightmares of this incident, when I have been working a lot. We get random drug tests and breathalyzer tests so I wasn’t on drugs or drinking. Don’t really care if you believe me or not… and I hope I never see that thing again.
😳😮😮 that's wild!!! I believe it, I've had many crazy experiences in my life so I totally see this kind of thing happen! Thanks for sharing your story friend and stay safe in your travels!
Bet that helped keep you focused in the morning 😂 (I’m a uk train driver) Loads of ghost stories and stuff on the railway (every bloody tunnel has a ghost in it doesn’t it 😂) but I was coming back empty coach stock at 1 in the morning, I kept noticing a blue/red light next to the driver side cab window and I presumed there must be a light reflecting from inside the train to the outside. Then I swear to god it just flew away unnaturally fast and in a movement that no human technology I know of would move in across the fields away from the train then shot up into the sky. Proper stunned me I’ve never seen owt like it, the following weeks a number of “ufo sightings” were reported in same area, one was family that live across from my brother a similar light flew towards their car and they slammed the brakes on thinking they was gonna crash and it then went over the top of them and flew off. I’m not sure what I saw but I’ll never forget what I saw that night and it felt very unnatural.
The reason I like this guy is because you can tell he actually hates talking about these videos, because he genuinely knows how dangerous they are and you can tell he’s genuine
Spreading more awareness when it comes to these things is pretty needed right now with all the misinformation floating around the internet, especially since skinwalkers and wendigos have become such a pop culture thing that brings in views. It always makes me feel a certain way when I see a person on the internet explaining spiritual things all wrong and on top of that people thank them for educating them. I'd love to hear your own views on spirituality in general.
@@melanieortiz712disrespectful? Absolutely. But all culture is derivative/"appropriated". We're all one human race and it's impossible and wrong to try and assert that any one group of us "owns" any idea, word, concept, style, pattern, etc. Rather the best we can do is embrace the diversity and uniqueness of our cultures and celebrate what each one brings to the table. Criticizing others for the fact that culture is fluid (and always has been, and always will be) is not the way to honor it. Rather, boosting the original source of an idea/concept (like this channel does) and simply distinguishing from the old and new lets old and new both grow in parallel. In a completely different example, TexMex food is great, and it existing doesn't take away from traditional Mexican food, or Southern US food. The issue comes when people hold up a chipotle as "authentic" Mexican food because it simply isn't. But it's value as a new cultural permutation is still present all the same. :)
@@KellethornAre you advocating for cultural appropriation? I think you would agree appreciation of a culture is not only better, but the right way to show respect for people of cultures which we don't belong to. It doesn't harm marginalized folks like appropriation does. As for your take on Tex-Mex, it cannot be considered appropriation. Descendants from the unions of Spanish and Mestizos living in Texas developed their own culture, customs, and foods from a base culture that already belonged to them to begin with. Appropriation is quite the opposite, and usually showcases harmful stereotypes.
@@Pink_Heart_Concha the issue with appropriation is it arbitrarily draws a line of ownership along who does/does'nt "belong" to a culture, and often along racial lines. Rather than countering racism or stereotypes, this line of thinking reinforces them. For instance, my wife is white, but lived in Japan for years, speaks fluent Japanese, wants us to one day move there permanently, and was gifted a handmade Kimono by one of her closest Japanese friends before she came back to the States. She never wears it, despite how much she loves it, because of the terrible things people have said to her about "appropriating" another culture. This runs along the same lines of well-intentioned, but just as real, racism people betray when commenting on another person's accent, or even in criticizing a comedian using accents in their routine: it insinuates, or outright depends on the claim that "all Japanese people think/do/say things the same way, and you're not Japanese so you can't" or "all Chinese people speak the same way so it's offensive if you use a Chinese accent in a skit." The actual fact of the matter is there is ZERO tie between biology and culture, but the very concept of cultural appropriation inherently depends on this assumption in order to adjudicate who is "spanish" enough to open a pusole shop, who is "Japanese" enough to wear a kimono, who is "Chinese" enough to "sound Chinese". Ironically, cultural appropriation is often used as a tool by people trying to remediate some of the damage that's been caused by both colonialism and cultural imperialism, but it is one of the most colonialistic, culturally imperialistic actions one could engage in. Imagine the sense of privilege or entitlement one needs to have to appoint themselves arbiter of who is "enough" of a minority to engage in what *they* perceive and deign to be that minority's culture! So despite its best intentions, cultural appropriation reinforces stereotypes and the cultural power imbalance imposed by historic occupiers/colonizers by its very nature. So am I advocating for cultural appropriation? No. I'm saying that cultural appropriation itself is a white-savior adjacent mentality that stems from a long legacy of cultural imperialism. What should we do instead? Not try to police who "gets" to belong to what culture, and who doesn't. Culture has been, and always will be a shared part of our human experience. So celebrate cultural propagation, evolution, and fusion for what it is.
Respect to you for listening to your elders. It's reassuring these things stay between the sacred mountains 😅 but their might be other "skinwalker" like entities other places. I tell you what brother I have heard things here in Iowa that made me think skinwalker or wendigo. Dont know what they are. One time my neighbors hounds were going nuts just barking like crazy. Then from the east a mechanical bark could be heard like it was louder and sounded fake. The hounds all went quiet. I've heard the whistles in the woods that makes dogs go quiet you mentioned in previous videos. I appreciate what you do. Love your videos and I do enjoy your non-skinwalker videos.
We have em here in oklahoma. We have alot of weird beings here. I saw bigfoot when I was about 10 when I lived in the country going outside at night to feed our dog and goat. I've also seen a floating woman in black that I think was deerwoman. One of the scariest things I've ever seen.
We’d have so much more knowledge of all the different folklore and oral history from different places; if we didn’t g side the tribes living there and erase the history 😢 so much we can never know now 🤷🏻♀️
It seems to me that indigenous people and cultures are grounded in reality, and also in respect. I value these things too, and I am grateful that I can learn more about Native American beliefs, history, and perspectives, from you.
In my years in and around Navajo Nation knowledge and information has changed. In the 80s only insiders knew. They would not discuss with outsiders. Now every self proclaimed spook expert is a skin walker expert. Thank you for sharing reality.
I was driving a while back on the Navajo desert. I drove down the long road in the middle of the night 2-3 am. I was on my way to California. This specific road has no gas stations or public areas for nearly a hundred miles or more I could be wrong. On the side of the road I saw what looked like a human but also some type of animal on all fours. He was eating some kind of roadkill but he made eye contact with me and I have never forgotten that look it gave me. Till this day I would never and I mean never drive down that road in the middle of the night. I was young and naive at the time. Watching your videos have confirmed what I saw
That explanation of what dark energy feels like definitely hit home for me, especially with the sound design to replicate that sort of buzzing in your head. My friend was telling me about what he believed was a demon that attached to him when he and some friends were messing around in a very known "active" spot with a bad past. The more he talked specifically about the entity and its appearance, I started to feel that hot anxious energy, to the point where I pretty firmly had to tell him to stop talking about it, because I could tell it was not something I should be picturing in my head or allowing in my energy field and it WANTED him to tell me about it. I had to tell him twice, because the first time he completely ignored me and kept going -- not like him at all. I consider myself stronger than most in the face of unexplainable things and evil energies, because I've done my share of soul searching, meditation, energy strengthening practices etc... but I knew this was no game, and I wish I knew how to help him, or who could help him. Do you believe it's a choice, to an extent, to accept an attachment like that to the point where you speak about it as fact?
Exactly. Well worded btw. That sound emulates the feeling of complete terror and malaise. You feel physically sick and drained. I've felt this evil energy come off a television, and I stopped and left the room.
Living in Vernon, AZ which is south of the rez but still ancient Navajo territory is a trip to say the least. Had something whistle at me from the dark a few weeks back. I Noped the hell inside.
I've come across deer, wrapped around trees and faces ripped off layed out like a display. in the middle of the woods. was years ago and I didn't stick around. I love your channel . THank you for sharing what you can. It Helps people understand. Positivity. Stay safe.
Hello Shanclen, I am happy to see you sharing your culture with the public. I respect your privacy and the elders decision to make some knowledge private. A small amount of knowledge is sometimes dangerous. The ways of your people are sacred. I’m blessed, or cursed, with some spiritual gifts and knowledge that manifested after a drowning incident. It can be a heavy burden to carry at times. I have been watching you and your group’s actions and I am grateful to you for your courage to take on such things as you experienced freeing the children. Your respect for the children and the bear spirit was heartwarming to see. Thank you for all you are doing. Be blessed and stay safe out there. ❤Brenda P❤
Miigwech dear brother 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😊🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. I am very pleased to know that you remain respectful to your traditions and esp your elders while sharing what you find to be able to share. I appreciate you and your family for all the work that you do. You truly are a blessed warrior. If you would please pass along to your family and the elders my heartfelt appreciation and prayers I will greatly appreciate this. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😊🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love this series. I’m Maya and have studied Maya art history to gain greater insight and understanding of my ancestors. One of the things that really stood out to me were the words Uay/ Waay/ Wayob used for the word spirit companion or shape shifters. There are Maya glyphs and artworks that survive to this day that show a different side of the shape shifting narrative where they aren’t perceived as evil but are instead a corner stone of ancient Maya elite society. For instance, there are depictions of Maya kings with Uay glyphs on their regalia indicating that they were shape shifter or had sprite companions. We also see that Lords of the Underworld in ancient Maya religions often had hybrid feature, most commonly those of a ware-jaguar. These depictions really make me wonder if our more modern perceptions of shape shifters are simply the attitudes we inherited from the European colonizers that slaughtered our ancestors for refusing to adopt Christianity and forsaking our ancestor’s faiths. Is it possible that even 2000 years ago shape shifters were evil and managed to hold immense power over the Maya kingdoms? Sure, why not? But what if they weren’t evil, what if they were perceived as good? Who knows? But our Maya ancestors left plenty of artwork to testify to the diverse pantheon of ancient Maya religions. So while skin walkers as a concept, may have originated in the northern reaches of turtle island, the concept of shape shifting may have developed most in Mesoamerican. This is same place that our believe corn, squash, beans, and chocolate were domesticated and traded with our cousins to the north and south after all.
So many ppl believe Every thing's a "Skin Walker!!!" They dont really Understand The Whole Truth about what's Really Going On & Im glad that Your letting the cat out of the bag. So to speak !!! Thank you !!!
Im from El Salvador and I remember this specific time as a child over there. I was walking home and it got dark, the paths home were very narrow and through forrested area. I was about 800 meters away from home when I heard rocks being struck on trees. Once I heard a second one I booked it and ran when I got to the front of my house the guard dogs were waiting for me. I know I come from Mayan tribes or other group because my grandfather always said but we’ve never traced our ancestors since the civil war happened and our village had been brainwashed by Christianity for generations. But to this day I still think about that because of the stories our grandpa would tell us while sitting beside a fire at night.
I am half Native American on my father's side. Since our house isn't built too well you can hear a lot of the outside, and can feel the train when it passes on the tracks. We have Mexican neighbors with animals as well but at the time they didn't own goats to my knowledge, so it could have been one but it just didn't feel right for the time it happened. So, we have two doors one in the Kitchen and one in the living room. Both were locked at the time thank god. However, in the living room there is one window which we had blinds too, I slept in the living room at the time as well on a bed. Well the bed was in the corner right beside the window of the living room. It was around 1am or 3am around those periods where I was watching videos online with headphones on, but I kept one off. We had just recently let an injured stray cat in our home which I took care of this is how I know I wasn't schizophrenic like someone thought I was. At this time it was maybe like a year ago at best, I heard this blood curdling scream that sounded like a person but it also sounded kind of like an animal. It didn't sound like a goat scream either. I was freaked out and froze in place, at this time it was more near the Mexican's ranch so I thought nothing of it but was still weirded out. It was held for a good like ten seconds before the second one happened and this time it was like it was under our carport which is right near the window to the living room. I heard the scream again but this time it was screaming help. I got chills and my hairs stood up on my body and I was like "This sounds like a skin walker." So, I looked over and seen the cat trying to peek its head to look behind the blinds of the window, which I stopped immediately because if something was there, I would not want to lock gazes with it. So, I grabbed the cat and I tried being as quiet as I could with my steps out the living room, all while the screaming continued. However, I accidentally made a loud step and then mid scream it stopped and I was so scared I almost teared up so I ran to the back inside the house where my parents slept and woke up my parents in a scared panic and my dad took his gun and left to go look around our house. He said he didn't find anything. A few months later, I was sleeping at my aunt's home and my dad called me that night and he said, "I heard the exact scream you said you hear. And you're right. It sounds like a skin walker." He said he was doing knocks back and forth with whatever it was on the window. He also said he tried to wake up my mom so she can hear but she is a heavy sleeper so didn't wake up. Even so, what was more creepy is that behind the Mexican's ranch was some woods. However, it has been a long time and we haven't heard anything like that since.
I heard a second hand story when I lived in a rural town in AZ about a friend who saw a “6 foot owl” that flew off when the lights of his truck hit it. The next day I was so intrigued I asked a fellow coworker who is Navajo about the incident. She chuckled and stated “I could probably tell you who that was.” It sent chills down my spine. She gave me the same explanations that you had in this and other videos! Good stuff please make more videos like this 🙏🏾
Another banger I like these skinwalker videos especially coming from a real Navajo who actually knows what's going on a lot of people I see on here are fools!!! God bless brother keep up the great work🙏🙏
Thank you for these wonderful stories, and your courage to share. I've slept outside near Spider Rock. But I stayed awake all night. A spirit from the dark called out my name. Something was in the trees. But then a bear, a physical real one (I think), scared them off for me. A lot more happened but no need to share on here. Your experiences help me to realize I am not crazy. I feel validated listening to you. Thank you so much!!
You are brave to have slept outside there! Are u talking about our in canyon de chelley? If u did that u are super brave I wouldn’t stay outside there at all!
Scary stuff! We have had our own encounters here in flagstaff , myself but especially my kids. And a few encounters out on the rez. Nothing to mess around with. (My kids are half Navajo) but even in flagstaff some areas people need to be careful! Stay safe and healthy out there people and especially observant in these days. Evil is out there. And great video thanks for sharing your story!
Can you mention where to stay away from in Flagstaff? I live in Valle and travel 180 all the time. I've been here for one year. There's one restaurant downtown I just had a strange experience in last Tuesday.... And on Thanksgiving, after sharing stories with some people, I had something knocking all around my house all night.
@@florentinaguggenheimer6557 could be anywhere really. Our experiences some years ago had been near NAU when I lived at south campus and my young adult children same thing in and around that area. Be careful out there! Especially hearing knocking. I would pray it away so it doesn’t happen again.
@@florentinaguggenheimer6557 I wouldn’t talk about some stories towards night. For me I heard recently it can awaken evil if you know what I mean. Make sure u pray each night to cover you and your family and your home. We are living in dark times
Of all the content surrounding skinwalkers, your story seriously creeped me out. The way you tell it, I can relate to a lot of it. I have some very scary stories from my childhood when I lived on the reservation. The heavy sensation one feels is one I dread, and the way you described it brought back a level of discomfort to me and I felt scared or like I was being watched, doesn't help that it's early (4 a.m.) and having flashbacks. Anyway, I appreciate your explanation and clarifying for others what skinwalkers really are as far as the Diné know. I have subscribed!!
I appreciate you coming on here and clarifying things again. That story is so scary, glad you’re okay now. 😳 Hopefully people can respect that there’s a very good reason why Navajo don’t speak about these things to us outsiders. Dig the new light by the way! Looking forward to your next video. 😊
This information is so valuable. There are many inaccuracies and misconceptions--largely due to folks who do to their own ambitions--twist to affirm their own narratives. Many well known "paranormal researchers" do this because they want their narratives to be compelling and scary--accuracy gets thrown out the window.
I have to say, If you really are how you portrait yourself to be, my respects to you Sir. Keeping and obeying Navajo traditions and elders is to be admire. Respect to you.
Thank you very much for being upfront and providing everyone with the knowledge that you have. I live in the area of one of the Four Mountains, and have always been apart of the occult community since my early 20's (I'm almost 50 now). Since I moved to this area almost 2 decades ago, I have been fascinated with the legends and stories of the Navajo. I work with many Navajo folks at my mundane job, and they love to share their stores with me as well, but some are very "tight-lipped" when I ask them questions. It's understandable. But I have always believed to be armed with knowledge. So thank you for providing that. Also, since it's kinda the area, I wondered your take on, Urraca Mesa? I have considered taking a weekend "scouting" trip there. As an investigator. I have heard all the stories but not many others have.
New subscriber to your channel. Bro, I'm so glad to have found your channel. Although I am an Indian from India, but have always been fascinated about the subject of Skinwalkers. It's so great to find a channel where a Native American is talking about it. It is like getting the info from the actual source. That story you shared was truly scary! Glad to know you are safe. Please don't stop making videos, we need more info from Indigenous people who can tell more more about this stuff. God bless you and best wishes to you from India. Cheers man!!
Thank you for clarifying the truth about the skin walkers and so forth. People always try to make their own stories around everywhere just to get attention and that's not cool.
I remember that skin your brother got in Elton and Cory's video I became a full believer after viewing that I couldn't believe you guys actually got one thank God you guys were with that group poor Cory.
I really enjoy the videos, when I was younger I didn’t have much respect but as time grew I grew and now have deep respect for the spirits and spiritual beings. Thank you for giving us knowledge ✨
hey, so I'm in the Army, and deployed the the US-Mexico boarder. One night, about 0200ish in the morning, we where posted up at in a truck a bit inland from the boarder, and I was out smoking a cigarette (American Spirit if it matters), when I saw what looked like 2 deer run by on the other side of a ranch fence, but the deer didn't look like they had heads, and where white as snow, so I almost shit myself, hop by in the truck, and tell my buddy what I saw, hung up the phone, busted out the flashlight, and went for a drive around the area. we went up a road, saw nothing, but on our way back, my buddy noticed a set of eyes looking at us. I thought "no big deal, we're shining a light into the brush, of course we got somethings attention" when the eyes started to get taller and taller. at first I thought it was a coyote, but by the time it stopped growing, it was taller than the truck, so about 6 ft give or take. I floored it back to our post, we locked the doors, raised the windows, and sat in silence for the last few hours of our shift. the night before I was on the phone with my little sister, who grew up in Utah, Cali, and ND, I mentioned skin walkers well outside at night, and she lost her shit saying I just summoned one, but I didn't believe in them so I kind of just brushed it off. a week or two later, I was with a BP agent, and I mentioned what I saw, and he just looked at me with a stare, and said it was a skin walker. this was a 40-50 something, Marine vet, who worked for BP, and his voice cracked when he said that, there was fear in that mans eyes. I tried to ask him to explain what he meant, and he just said "it's night, and we have agents in the field, I'm not talking about them any more than I already have", then he radioed a few agents to check in. do you have any idea what I saw? I assumed it was a skin walker until you mentioned the range, and this was pretty far outside the range of where you said they could be found. I'm in an area that use to be inhabited by the Coahuilteco and Carrizo tribes (at least according to a map I found on google) if that helps
Ok. Listen up because what I'm about to tell you, may sound pretty far fetch but it's not. Evil times my friend we live in, ok. Everybody knows that the Mexican Cartel, operates between the U.S./Mexico, but they also operate Mexico/Guatemala border as we'll. A while back some Guatemalan soldiers we're scared of fighting the Drug Cartels, in that region. They we're saying stuff like crazy things, we'll the U.S. sent somebody to investigate. We'll they found out that the drug Cartels, we're using witches, and witch doctors, to assist against the soldiers. So if they are using this tactic in those regions you can bit there using it here. Then we have Cern opening up portals, and believe me something is getting through. Just remember if you run across a giant, make sure you are using copper rounds. Make sure you cover yourself with "God's armor" look it up. Oh. One more thing, there are cryptids, lurking just about every where.
Skinwalker is and it's specifically denotes. This type of stuff coming from Navajo reservations. But there are similar entities throughout the world that do this type of stuff. This is old black magic type shit, ancient evil. Maybe it wasnt a skinwalker per say but it sounds virtually identical
@GerardoRodriguez-tp9gr well said, i agree. This type of black magic witchcraft is practiced throughout the world by various cultures on all continents
I always believed that skinwalkers start as human native witches whom perform a ritual practice and invoke a demon spirit to transform them in the animal pelt they wear, but I always felt like a wendigo was never a human at all...
Thanks for the tip. I want to go to a reservation sometime & show respect to all Native Americans. You are a breath of fresh air & love all the lore associated with all the tribes. Peace & love, brother. G from AZ🌵🤟🏻💕
I love and appreciate that you are willing to teach those of us who are willing to open our minds and sit still and really listen to you and take to heart the wisdom and teachings of your ancestors. I am grateful to you sir. Many Blessings to you and your family.
There’s a podcast out there where a white guy with his grandfathers ashes was carjacked on the rez by two criminal Navajo who attempted to murder him. Later other Navajo told the white guy that it must have been a skinwalker because typical Navajo would have freaked out over being in close contact with the ashes of a dead person.
@@SlumCut6661 the Navajo asked what was in the vase, and the white guy told him cremation ashes. Also the alleged skinwalker was pushing the other Navajo to murder, as that what skinwalkers do. Make others do evil.
I’m glad I stumbled across your channel I grew up/live in Oklahoma I’m Kiowa and Navajo but my great grandfather was Dooley D Shorty, he died when I was six so I never got to ask the questions I want to know today but I love watching your videos I can’t wait to learn more about my Navajo side!
There is a channel called Wartime stories that did a video on stores from US Soldiers telling stories about encounters with Skinwalkers. He did a brief intro about the history of them in Navajo culture, Have you seen and if so what do you think. Was Luke respectfully to your culture and did these soldiers encounter Skinwalkers? Soldiers in general have some incredible stories. I have numerous relatives that served in Iraq and Afghanistan as marines and they have some insane paranormal stories.
I appreciate you sharing your experience! I come from a very spiritual peoples in the Pacific as well, and we have a similar code of conduct for listening to our elders when they say not to share secrets. Much love and respect from the Samoas!
I'm half Yaqui and have cousins who are half Done and live on the Rez in Arizona. My cousin from very early age warned me of the Skinwalker.. very Real!! Not to be played with, Thank you for your knowledge about Skinwalker brother.
12:35 that hot prickly sensation happens too often to us aunties going through it with wicked menopause vasomotor symptoms so we don’t rely on it around a certain age for women, we don’t sleep well and when I’m having a hard time, I pace around our place and remind said creatures that it wouldn’t be wise to mess with a person who is at the highest level of frustration and nothing to take it out on and to consider my pacing around my apartment or apartment complex is fair warning 🤨and I haven’t had a real meal in years, so my appetite could probably outmatch theirs, especially when I’m on weeks & weeks worth of prednisone, my appetite is ridiculous on that stuff and they’re even more screwed if I’m also listening to my tunes 🎧 🎶 🤜🏽💥 doesn’t mean that I’m gonna be reckless, or not show them the respect necessary to survive them, just that they’re not gonna find us tribal menopausal grannies as much of a pushover as they consider us and why do they think us tribal grannies are easy to scare 🤣✊🏽 because we’re not 😂we tend to be the scary ones 🤨
I’m not indigenous but I love your videos. Solid advice and a cool look into another culture. My mentor in the Marines was Navajo but didn’t talk much about spiritual topics, and I can see why he’d choose to be private about it.
I like the fact you don't exploit tradition like some others do because some things are just sacred. Living in an area that the Southern Paiute and the Anasazi's lived in and know where some sacred sites are but tend to stay away from out of respect. Now there are some area's that I get a complete bad feeling going thru certain area's and half of those area's tall black shadows along with somethings that to Anasazi times or older. Keep up the good work and always stay true to yourself.
Hey, shanclen. I really appreciate your channel. I got introduced to your channel here. Much respect and gratitude that you decided to speak and share stories. I later after subscribing to you discovered the other channel, unearthing the supernatural and I think it's very refreshing to see someobe who knows what they do in relation to these things.
Grew up on a rez in nw canada. I believe these beings have control over whole areas. It's why such darkness on certain reservations. The people with the most lack of connection seemed to be on the rez. But preached connection to nature. Curses from these entities.
Thank you Brother for sharing, when I was young. My family used to go to Minnesota to camp every year. When I was 9 or 10 years old, I had gotten lost in the woods. I remember hearing a rustling, in the trees. All I can remember is that it felt as though someone put their arms around me and I felt Fur. I knew then I was in the arms of a Great One. I believe the stories of Skinwalker Ranch
I appreciate your content so much! I'm sorry so many folks are asking for personal stories about this topic. Im an individual who lives in rural Maine and there's a "practice" in my family. at night if you hear or see something in the woods, no you didn't. Don't bring it up. So I can understand not wanting to bring up personal experiences that bring back fear/terror/ or just straight up respecting the culture don't bring it up so it doesn't follow you back to your dwelling spot. I hope you know I enjoy your videos and hope you can talk about other spooky encounters that don't involve these beings. Love hearing your perspective! Blessings. ❤️
I totally respect that you are only going to share with us what you are allowed to tell, because you dive so much into depth with the “little” that you do end up discussing!!! I love it!!!✨
So you want to know about Wendigo? I am a descendant from the Algonquin tribe although I am mostly French from a few generations. I've never experienced, but I've heard tales. I've done my research, and ive asked my questions. Wendigo is a creature that is indeed a curse. It was a curse brought about by cannibalism and ritual. When people were starving back in those days, they made pacts with evil forces not to die of starvation. Greed, and a need for power are often associated, and this apparently transforms the host. Try to imagine a werewolf hopped up on evil spirits. That is what Wendigo supposedly is. It is said you can't kill one by normal means. A mix of chanting, ritual, and specialized blessed weapons made of volcanic glass or sacred bone are said to be needed when hunting a Wendigo, and even then it's unlikely to succeed. They are pale as snow, and usually have animal trophies on their bodies for after the ritual is performed. which is why they are usually depicted as wearing stag horns. Animal sacrifice and human sacrifice/cannibalism is usually part of the ritual. They lose these trophies as they lose their minds and personality to insatiable hunger and evil. They are said to be fast, extremely strong, and known to have a terrifying animal call. Apex predators with spiritual protection from evil forces. The host becomes more animal than man. Completely feral, and always hungry. Said to be immortal, but I've also heard stories of them just living extremely long lives. It is said the longer they are able to eat, they grow in size and strength, and also extend their lives. They are extremely rare even more so than a skinwalker, but are far more dangerous as well. The last well documented tale Ive heard happened over 150 ish years ago. It killed half a tribe and the hunters and shamans hunted it down. The wendigo was a member of their tribe from the distant past who apparently wanted to be tribe leader and share this power with his people. They exiled him, so he performed the rites, and he started hunting them generationally after his wendigo transformation until the tribe decided enough was enough. They took it down, and another hasnt been spotted since. This is a tribe story which is why you wont hear about it on youtube or the internet. Wendigo is a forbidden subject for the most part in Algonquin folklore. It is said to bring bad luck. There is much I can't say, and for good reasons.
14 minutes and you are talking about waking up before someone shows up and that is so crazy because I work at a motel and every time someone comes in the middle of the night to rent a room I will wake up 5 minutes early and have to go pee and I can't figure out why I can't go back to sleep and within that 5 minutes someone will show up to rent a room. So crazy. I do have this ability.❤❤❤❤❤ Still watching.❤❤❤❤❤
I have a lot of respect for you willingness to share this info. I do know that the Navajo do not want to talk about it, either amongst the tribe and especially not to outsiders for fear of attracting the attentions of the evil ones. Thanks for educating us and stay safe. Evil does exist!
@@ShanclenShadowProductions Why would they want your truck? I thought Skinwalkers had to give up all modern world comforts. Can you image a cop pulling over a Skinwalker for speeding or a missing taillight? How would that go.
I always find your videos fascinating. I agree that it's troubling that pop culture likes to appropriate concepts and pervert them for entertainment purposes. That's why I try to broaden my spectrum and learn as much as possible. It's important to know the boundaries of BS because there's no such thing as too much knowledge or preparedness. I appreciate your videos and the wisdoms you share very much.
But aren't you spiritually protected from these creatures and beings? I've seen once this black shadow being with red eyes curiously watching me from outside my window and i stared back, it dissapeared, i don't fear because Creator is in control. Think we are allowed to see and experience things for our learning.
Thank you for your videos. It's so frustrating that pop culture has taken the sk*nwalker name and randomly applied it to whatever they want. Interacting with the supernatural isn't something to be taken lightly, and it seems like way too many people don't have the common sense needed to not stir up trouble for themselves. Smh A fellow author set her story in Washington state and when asked why she called the character a sk*nwalker, she said whatever, it's all the same. I got a little heated, not going to lie. I don't know much since I am not Najavo/Diné but I know enough not to throw that name around.
@@Melre123 Wow, thats when they film for the next season, so you may see things the insiders dont even get to see. Due to "the channels" nda's, they block some of the live stream camera views until filming is over.
@@Life_no.9 my moms family lives nearby, we pass the turn there almost everyday. I went to the gates before, they’re chained. Nobody was there when we were there years ago.
I grew up in utah as a kid and went to school with hopi and zuni children i spent weekends on the rez...and loved mskibg fry bread and hiking and doing things with my i digenous friends , i must have been a sight a freckled faced blue eyed blonde girl ...but i didnt care i was just happy to be there and apart of.😊
Dude, there is even more information on Steve Isdahl channel called "how to hunt" you'll thank me. If you do decide to ever go into the woods again, arm yourself.
Keep your Bible on hand and stay in prayer. There is no need to fear these creatures, for the Lord Jesus has already defeated death and sin. These beings fear the Lord Jesus-- their judge and Destroyer-- far more than we fear them.
I live in Arizona, we don't out at night to or on the reservations. I wish a lot more people here took it seriously. Thanks for sharing you're great at telling the stories
Be sure to follow me on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook to stay up to date! Shanclen Shadow Productions!! Thanks for watching!🪶🙌🏽
Hey dude. Are you possible thinking about coming back over to the Cherokee Indian Reservation? In the near future or not?
I wonder if there's similarities between skin walking and hamrammr. Shape or form being part of our multi part soul. Hamr is the part I reference (shape/ form). Would be very interested if you did a video on it or somehow tied it in.
Tansi, I am Plains Cree from Canada. I know a few info about dugo. First, we don't say the name or mention the name. The only time we would speak about it, it would be in a ceremony..
There demons that's what they are they are. A demon shows itself in many forms. I have experienced evil spirits white men living in no reservation. The thing is the bible calls the half demons half humans are called beast of men. The other religions will have different names for it.
I have a quick question, in your last video about skinwalkers you started a story about how you saw all these red lights like red dot lights in the canyon and then the video ended are you going to post the rest of the story?
Please don’t stop making videos. We need more indigenous RUclipsrs who can explain things the way you do.
Seconded
Thirded!
I completely agree with this. I wanted to say FOURTHED but it’s not a word 😂
Red Owl is another good one!
I’m with bro
I appreciate you countering the sudden "everything is a Skinwalker " trend with your knowledge and respect for these topics. I find it hilarious but also ridiculous how Tik Tok has created a whole new type of Skinwalker like its some sort of shape shifting cryptid. 🙄
People have no clue what they're actually dealing with. So thank you, sir, for these excellent and informative videos. Love them!
Thanks for watching and supporting! Definitely something that needs to be straightened out🙌🏽🪶
@@ShanclenShadowProductions Are skin walkers real and are Wendigo real
@@xxgamerxxchrischris2325u think wendigo is from a different culture, like the Algonquin for example
@@Andalaeknir86 I'm curious to know if their real
Ppl r sooo stupid. I think those ppl honestly must not know what the origin of word cryptid is. Obviously skinwalkers n wendigos aren't animals but yet they've convinced themselves that these entities are truly undiscovered animals. Beyond disrespectful to ppls culture and folk history.
I was lucky enough to have a Navajo cell mate in Phoenix federal prison. (I’m white as milk) and he shared a lot of this history with me over months of living together. I just found this channel yesterday, I’m grateful that you are sharing the history. Thank you and Peace brother.
I’m not Dine. I grew up close to the Dine and Ute and I grew up spending a lot of time in the deserts and mountains of that area. These things are not something you mess with. When the natives tell you not to do something, don’t. It’s not a joke. There are monster in the dark places of this world.
My Comanche brother says never to go into Wichita mountains at night. Apparently different entities roam there. He wouldn't even name or describe too much. He was terrified and that is not how his personality is at all. It was worrisome
We should learn to actually listen to our elders and natives instead of just dismissing their advice as mere superstition. If they're telling you to not go somewhere because it's dangerous, just don't go.
Becareful of just what and how much you tell.
I grew up on the rez. I know we were tought to not even talk about things we seen with outsiders.
Them entities can be summoned by you mentioning them after they let you see them.
I used to suffer from sleep paralysis since I was a child, and i came to realize that right before the attack i could hear a hum or a rapid ticking sound that would alert me to the fact that i was about to be attacked....dont know why but there it is ...i dont experience them anymore thank God because it was scary and stressful ! Not selling anything but it stoped after i became a Christian !
Ur story is very interesting. I have heard of people hearing a specific sound before a paranormal event happening to them. There’s a story on the. “Confessionals podcast”, that u may want to listen to. It’s episode 175. This is not the only story I’ve heard of hearing a weird noise.
What frustrates me, is how a lot of creators are using Skinwalker in the video titles to bait people in. I feel it’s causing some of the confusion within the Skinwalker or Shapeshifter lore. So glad I found your channel brother!
Reservation stories with questions: 1. I used to live on the Salish Kootenai rez in Montana. A few years back a friend there told me Tribal police were called recently about someone running around the round hay bales on one of the farms and scaring the family there. When the police started looking with their car spotlight, someone ran but scared the cops too, because the person had no face, and disappeared running. 2. Another thing that happened to me personally when I was 14- Alone one night at home in January, my dog started growling scared with his hairs standing up, at something outside. He would turn to each door and window where we could hear fresh snow crunching. After maybe 45 minutes it left. In the morning my mother and I went out and found the biggest footprints we had ever seen. They weren’t barefoot, they were moccasin prints. 3. Some of our animals vanished permanently and some returned- young ones that returned had not grown up like their siblings from the same litter or hatch. 4. My dog vanished before spring. We looked everywhere and could even hear her barking somewhere off and on for some time. Weeks passed and the weather warmed and there was no more snow. One evening all of a sudden my dog was scratching at the door to be let inside. When we let her in, she was covered in globs of freshly fallen snow, deep snow that stuck in her long hair. Now the question: Have things like this happened in your area?
I’ve heard of the no face beings and relate to the footprints being seen🙏🏽 that’s so wild!
@@ShanclenShadowProductions thank you for all your informations. I need to ask you a question. In one or two videos you said, that people can get sick if they are in that tunnels or if they touch that sinister belongings. It reminds me of Greylock. According to the videos all of the workers in that tunnel got sick and made a frightening transformation. What do you think about this case?
There are many portals opening.
Ps. I'm from polson
@@rodgerrugg2453 From Pablo :), or was anyway, not any more.
I enjoy indigenous lore and stories so much, not just skinwalkers. I like the way you tell the tales, and I'd love nothing more than to know more stories about different beings!
In the gen pop, it's sad and dangerous that they focus on the shapeshifting side and completely forget the evil magic witchcraft side.
We forget a lot about various traditions of healers, witchcraft for lack of better words, shamans and so on don't fit the moral perspective of what we expect. I know some curse as much as they heal people as well, some go fully bad, failing teaching and tests with spirits and some decided to take easier routs of evil as well.
Exaktly... not to mention it's cringe, like come on, most of them don't know a fək about Navajo culture to speak of sw LOL
@@Andalaeknir86true 😢 evil is quicker... more comfortable... Traditional ways are always harder and more demanding, but.... So much more worth it. Speaking from Taoist sorcery perspective at least 🤔
The most dangerous stuff about skinwalkers is their influence, then the spirit side and then their alchemy with corps powder and stuff. i did a video about them a while back. Scary stuff.
This right here
Basic white girl, here. I appreciate the information you share and I do not begrudge what you hold back. Thank you for sharing what you can and respecting your elders. I love hearing about other cultures and hearing different perspectives. It gives me so much more to consider when making decisions about how I want to live and what values are important to pass on to my children. Thank you.

You don't need to announce yourself with an insulting, politically correct label; the obvious reason you did this was you felt you needed to slightly degrade yourself to placate this non-white guy because you're white. God this is getting old.
"This one time I went out to my grandma's house" is how we have any conversation with our cousin's, my grandma used to live in a trailer like 5 minutes outta Gallop, right across a Chevron
My family are lakota and live on pine ridge rez, and man the stories my mother tells me are just .... never go out at night .
ughhh, I really wish you could share voice notes in the comments. I’m dying to know all those stories!!!
I have a similar story. Gave me chills when you start describing it. I was sleeping in the bed of the truck at my Nali's (parental grandmother) house. It's around 3:30am, clear night and no noise or dogs barking. I was awakened by sniffing, in front of the truck. Slowly the sniffing made its way underneath the truck. A moment later, digging and low banged as it dug. It was scary but scarier was the smell of death. Trying to stay calm and pretending to be asleep the four legged being began standing upright from the tailgate peering over it. If you've seen a coyote you know the shape of the ears. Not a sound from it peering. I could tell it was a man wearing a coyote skin, with ash on his face. A moment passed, he took something from his side put it to his mouth and blew into it with force into me and I felt it warm in my chest. Then he got down from my view then I heard four legs running away fast to the North. I couldn't move. I was paralyzed. I could finally move and I ran baning on the door and told my parents of what I saw. Then my father moved the truck to see what was under the ground. He dug out a wood carving. An image of a man and woman with an arrow shaped as a lightning bolt separating the two. Later that morning they took me to a medicine man. Durning the ceremony, took out a bone from my pec. Two years later, my parents divorced. What the being buried separated my parents. That's my story.
Thanks for sharing. That makes me wonder about who/what skin walkers are, and what purpose they aim to serve. I'm of Mexican background, and some regions are more steeped in witchcraft, to where people go to their local 'brujo/a' which either practices white or dark magic. Most are just people wanting to rid their lives of some evil spirit or energy, while others specifically seek out the dark practitioners to do evil. I've heard stories about this, both in Mexico and the US, but that's for another day.
Just makes me wonder though, under the surface of our 'modernity', some cultures still have the beating heart of spirituality, and a clash of good and evil. My initial question is whether SW are normal humans, or if they become spiritual entities like ghosts? Do they withdraw and live on the fringes of our world, or do they walk and talk among us in our everyday lives, when not using the cover of darkness for their deeds? Just questions from an outsider, I don't know if you know the answers. Cheers.
I’ve seen our medicine man take bones out of my family members backs and stomachs. Shit is real af. I grew up in tuba city by the way.
That story was insane. SWs are basically low vibrational and abhor love, light, and peace. They worship hate, darkness, and strife.
I wonder why it specifically targeted you. I’m not doubting your story at all. It’s just I wonder why paranormal stuff like this happens to certain people and some people will go their whole lives never witnessing anything paranormal.
@dirtydan1861 No, they are humans. not spirits or demons. they are humans delved in witchcraft. They walk among us as regular looking people. nothing more, nothing less
Thank you for this. As a Native American, I've tried to tell these people who are on the SW craze that they're not dealing with a SW. I wish people would do real research before making videos about things that they know nothing about.
I am a locomotive engineer for a railroad in New Mexico (28 years). I live in Las Cruces and work from Santa Teresa to Vaughn NM. I was on a westbound train at around 3am and just west of Corona NM around 50mph looked out my window and saw something that shook me to my core and scared the hell out of me. Saw something running next to my train eye level, a locomotive side window is two stories high. It looked like the coyote head an elongated human body with long freakish arms (ware wolfish pooped in my head) it was staring forward and it turned towards me and it looked like a CGI special effect it looked skeletal I could see bone jaw and teeth and it smiled a really twisted smile and then looked forward, I immediately throttled out on my locomotives and train. I was terrified I grew up on a family ranch summers sleeping in a tent 4 nights a week and do not scare easily. I turned to tell my conductor to come see this thing, but he was asleep. I turned back and my train started to accelerate and this thing couldn’t keep pace and I stared at it in my mirror until it faded away… I still have nightmares of this incident, when I have been working a lot. We get random drug tests and breathalyzer tests so I wasn’t on drugs or drinking. Don’t really care if you believe me or not… and I hope I never see that thing again.
😳😮😮 that's wild!!! I believe it, I've had many crazy experiences in my life so I totally see this kind of thing happen!
Thanks for sharing your story friend and stay safe in your travels!
You’re the second person I’ve heard say something like that.
@@vampire361
I have been running trains on this run over the years from 1996 to Today… I have only seen this once and don’t want to see it again.
Bet that helped keep you focused in the morning 😂 (I’m a uk train driver)
Loads of ghost stories and stuff on the railway (every bloody tunnel has a ghost in it doesn’t it 😂) but I was coming back empty coach stock at 1 in the morning, I kept noticing a blue/red light next to the driver side cab window and I presumed there must be a light reflecting from inside the train to the outside. Then I swear to god it just flew away unnaturally fast and in a movement that no human technology I know of would move in across the fields away from the train then shot up into the sky. Proper stunned me I’ve never seen owt like it, the following weeks a number of “ufo sightings” were reported in same area, one was family that live across from my brother a similar light flew towards their car and they slammed the brakes on thinking they was gonna crash and it then went over the top of them and flew off.
I’m not sure what I saw but I’ll never forget what I saw that night and it felt very unnatural.
@@Nik2555 I have seen several UFO’s and strange lights near the same area. This area is around 12-15 miles from the famous “Roswell NM UFO Crash”
The reason I like this guy is because you can tell he actually hates talking about these videos, because he genuinely knows how dangerous they are and you can tell he’s genuine
I’m not a native, but I’ve always been so fascinated by your culture. I could sit for hours listening to you describe these things.
Spreading more awareness when it comes to these things is pretty needed right now with all the misinformation floating around the internet, especially since skinwalkers and wendigos have become such a pop culture thing that brings in views. It always makes me feel a certain way when I see a person on the internet explaining spiritual things all wrong and on top of that people thank them for educating them. I'd love to hear your own views on spirituality in general.
Stay tuned for the next video!😎🙌🏽 thanks for watching!
It's very disrespectful and culturally appropriating this trend
@@melanieortiz712disrespectful? Absolutely. But all culture is derivative/"appropriated". We're all one human race and it's impossible and wrong to try and assert that any one group of us "owns" any idea, word, concept, style, pattern, etc.
Rather the best we can do is embrace the diversity and uniqueness of our cultures and celebrate what each one brings to the table.
Criticizing others for the fact that culture is fluid (and always has been, and always will be) is not the way to honor it. Rather, boosting the original source of an idea/concept (like this channel does) and simply distinguishing from the old and new lets old and new both grow in parallel.
In a completely different example, TexMex food is great, and it existing doesn't take away from traditional Mexican food, or Southern US food.
The issue comes when people hold up a chipotle as "authentic" Mexican food because it simply isn't. But it's value as a new cultural permutation is still present all the same. :)
@@KellethornAre you advocating for cultural appropriation? I think you would agree appreciation of a culture is not only better, but the right way to show respect for people of cultures which we don't belong to. It doesn't harm marginalized folks like appropriation does. As for your take on Tex-Mex, it cannot be considered appropriation. Descendants from the unions of Spanish and Mestizos living in Texas developed their own culture, customs, and foods from a base culture that already belonged to them to begin with. Appropriation is quite the opposite, and usually showcases harmful stereotypes.
@@Pink_Heart_Concha the issue with appropriation is it arbitrarily draws a line of ownership along who does/does'nt "belong" to a culture, and often along racial lines. Rather than countering racism or stereotypes, this line of thinking reinforces them.
For instance, my wife is white, but lived in Japan for years, speaks fluent Japanese, wants us to one day move there permanently, and was gifted a handmade Kimono by one of her closest Japanese friends before she came back to the States.
She never wears it, despite how much she loves it, because of the terrible things people have said to her about "appropriating" another culture.
This runs along the same lines of well-intentioned, but just as real, racism people betray when commenting on another person's accent, or even in criticizing a comedian using accents in their routine: it insinuates, or outright depends on the claim that "all Japanese people think/do/say things the same way, and you're not Japanese so you can't" or "all Chinese people speak the same way so it's offensive if you use a Chinese accent in a skit."
The actual fact of the matter is there is ZERO tie between biology and culture, but the very concept of cultural appropriation inherently depends on this assumption in order to adjudicate who is "spanish" enough to open a pusole shop, who is "Japanese" enough to wear a kimono, who is "Chinese" enough to "sound Chinese".
Ironically, cultural appropriation is often used as a tool by people trying to remediate some of the damage that's been caused by both colonialism and cultural imperialism, but it is one of the most colonialistic, culturally imperialistic actions one could engage in.
Imagine the sense of privilege or entitlement one needs to have to appoint themselves arbiter of who is "enough" of a minority to engage in what *they* perceive and deign to be that minority's culture!
So despite its best intentions, cultural appropriation reinforces stereotypes and the cultural power imbalance imposed by historic occupiers/colonizers by its very nature.
So am I advocating for cultural appropriation? No. I'm saying that cultural appropriation itself is a white-savior adjacent mentality that stems from a long legacy of cultural imperialism.
What should we do instead? Not try to police who "gets" to belong to what culture, and who doesn't.
Culture has been, and always will be a shared part of our human experience. So celebrate cultural propagation, evolution, and fusion for what it is.
Respect to you for listening to your elders. It's reassuring these things stay between the sacred mountains 😅 but their might be other "skinwalker" like entities other places.
I tell you what brother I have heard things here in Iowa that made me think skinwalker or wendigo. Dont know what they are. One time my neighbors hounds were going nuts just barking like crazy. Then from the east a mechanical bark could be heard like it was louder and sounded fake. The hounds all went quiet.
I've heard the whistles in the woods that makes dogs go quiet you mentioned in previous videos.
I appreciate what you do. Love your videos and I do enjoy your non-skinwalker videos.
That’s creepy for sure!! Haha thanks for enjoying my videos!!🙌🏽🪶
We have em here in oklahoma. We have alot of weird beings here. I saw bigfoot when I was about 10 when I lived in the country going outside at night to feed our dog and goat. I've also seen a floating woman in black that I think was deerwoman. One of the scariest things I've ever seen.
Whistles are usually mimics from what I've been told.
We’d have so much more knowledge of all the different folklore and oral history from different places; if we didn’t g side the tribes living there and erase the history 😢 so much we can never know now 🤷🏻♀️
It seems to me that indigenous people and cultures are grounded in reality, and also in respect. I value these things too, and I am grateful that I can learn more about Native American beliefs, history, and perspectives, from you.
In my years in and around Navajo Nation knowledge and information has changed. In the 80s only insiders knew. They would not discuss with outsiders. Now every self proclaimed spook expert is a skin walker expert. Thank you for sharing reality.
Got any stories and info you can share?
I was driving a while back on the Navajo desert. I drove down the long road in the middle of the night 2-3 am. I was on my way to California. This specific road has no gas stations or public areas for nearly a hundred miles or more I could be wrong. On the side of the road I saw what looked like a human but also some type of animal on all fours. He was eating some kind of roadkill but he made eye contact with me and I have never forgotten that look it gave me. Till this day I would never and I mean never drive down that road in the middle of the night. I was young and naive at the time. Watching your videos have confirmed what I saw
That explanation of what dark energy feels like definitely hit home for me, especially with the sound design to replicate that sort of buzzing in your head. My friend was telling me about what he believed was a demon that attached to him when he and some friends were messing around in a very known "active" spot with a bad past. The more he talked specifically about the entity and its appearance, I started to feel that hot anxious energy, to the point where I pretty firmly had to tell him to stop talking about it, because I could tell it was not something I should be picturing in my head or allowing in my energy field and it WANTED him to tell me about it. I had to tell him twice, because the first time he completely ignored me and kept going -- not like him at all. I consider myself stronger than most in the face of unexplainable things and evil energies, because I've done my share of soul searching, meditation, energy strengthening practices etc... but I knew this was no game, and I wish I knew how to help him, or who could help him. Do you believe it's a choice, to an extent, to accept an attachment like that to the point where you speak about it as fact?
Exactly. Well worded btw. That sound emulates the feeling of complete terror and malaise. You feel physically sick and drained. I've felt this evil energy come off a television, and I stopped and left the room.
Living in Vernon, AZ which is south of the rez but still ancient Navajo territory is a trip to say the least.
Had something whistle at me from the dark a few weeks back. I Noped the hell inside.
thats scary yo🙀
My dad used to tell me never to whistle at night because that is how the Navajo witches communicate.
I've come across deer, wrapped around trees and faces ripped off layed out like a display. in the middle of the woods. was years ago and I didn't stick around. I love your channel . THank you for sharing what you can. It Helps people understand. Positivity. Stay safe.
Fucking what
Hello Shanclen, I am happy to see you sharing your culture with the public. I respect your privacy and the elders decision to make some knowledge private. A small amount of knowledge is sometimes dangerous. The ways of your people are sacred. I’m blessed, or cursed, with some spiritual gifts and knowledge that manifested after a drowning incident. It can be a heavy burden to carry at times. I have been watching you and your group’s actions and I am grateful to you for your courage to take on such things as you experienced freeing the children. Your respect for the children and the bear spirit was heartwarming to see. Thank you for all you are doing. Be blessed and stay safe out there. ❤Brenda P❤
Miigwech dear brother 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😊🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. I am very pleased to know that you remain respectful to your traditions and esp your elders while sharing what you find to be able to share. I appreciate you and your family for all the work that you do. You truly are a blessed warrior. If you would please pass along to your family and the elders my heartfelt appreciation and prayers I will greatly appreciate this. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😊🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love this series. I’m Maya and have studied Maya art history to gain greater insight and understanding of my ancestors. One of the things that really stood out to me were the words Uay/ Waay/ Wayob used for the word spirit companion or shape shifters. There are Maya glyphs and artworks that survive to this day that show a different side of the shape shifting narrative where they aren’t perceived as evil but are instead a corner stone of ancient Maya elite society. For instance, there are depictions of Maya kings with Uay glyphs on their regalia indicating that they were shape shifter or had sprite companions. We also see that Lords of the Underworld in ancient Maya religions often had hybrid feature, most commonly those of a ware-jaguar. These depictions really make me wonder if our more modern perceptions of shape shifters are simply the attitudes we inherited from the European colonizers that slaughtered our ancestors for refusing to adopt Christianity and forsaking our ancestor’s faiths. Is it possible that even 2000 years ago shape shifters were evil and managed to hold immense power over the Maya kingdoms? Sure, why not? But what if they weren’t evil, what if they were perceived as good? Who knows? But our Maya ancestors left plenty of artwork to testify to the diverse pantheon of ancient Maya religions. So while skin walkers as a concept, may have originated in the northern reaches of turtle island, the concept of shape shifting may have developed most in Mesoamerican. This is same place that our believe corn, squash, beans, and chocolate were domesticated and traded with our cousins to the north and south after all.
So many ppl believe Every thing's a "Skin Walker!!!" They dont really Understand The Whole Truth about what's Really Going On & Im glad that Your letting the cat out of the bag. So to speak !!! Thank you !!!
Im from El Salvador and I remember this specific time as a child over there. I was walking home and it got dark, the paths home were very narrow and through forrested area. I was about 800 meters away from home when I heard rocks being struck on trees. Once I heard a second one I booked it and ran when I got to the front of my house the guard dogs were waiting for me. I know I come from Mayan tribes or other group because my grandfather always said but we’ve never traced our ancestors since the civil war happened and our village had been brainwashed by Christianity for generations. But to this day I still think about that because of the stories our grandpa would tell us while sitting beside a fire at night.
I am half Native American on my father's side. Since our house isn't built too well you can hear a lot of the outside, and can feel the train when it passes on the tracks. We have Mexican neighbors with animals as well but at the time they didn't own goats to my knowledge, so it could have been one but it just didn't feel right for the time it happened. So, we have two doors one in the Kitchen and one in the living room. Both were locked at the time thank god. However, in the living room there is one window which we had blinds too, I slept in the living room at the time as well on a bed. Well the bed was in the corner right beside the window of the living room. It was around 1am or 3am around those periods where I was watching videos online with headphones on, but I kept one off. We had just recently let an injured stray cat in our home which I took care of this is how I know I wasn't schizophrenic like someone thought I was. At this time it was maybe like a year ago at best, I heard this blood curdling scream that sounded like a person but it also sounded kind of like an animal. It didn't sound like a goat scream either. I was freaked out and froze in place, at this time it was more near the Mexican's ranch so I thought nothing of it but was still weirded out. It was held for a good like ten seconds before the second one happened and this time it was like it was under our carport which is right near the window to the living room. I heard the scream again but this time it was screaming help. I got chills and my hairs stood up on my body and I was like "This sounds like a skin walker." So, I looked over and seen the cat trying to peek its head to look behind the blinds of the window, which I stopped immediately because if something was there, I would not want to lock gazes with it. So, I grabbed the cat and I tried being as quiet as I could with my steps out the living room, all while the screaming continued. However, I accidentally made a loud step and then mid scream it stopped and I was so scared I almost teared up so I ran to the back inside the house where my parents slept and woke up my parents in a scared panic and my dad took his gun and left to go look around our house. He said he didn't find anything. A few months later, I was sleeping at my aunt's home and my dad called me that night and he said, "I heard the exact scream you said you hear. And you're right. It sounds like a skin walker." He said he was doing knocks back and forth with whatever it was on the window. He also said he tried to wake up my mom so she can hear but she is a heavy sleeper so didn't wake up. Even so, what was more creepy is that behind the Mexican's ranch was some woods. However, it has been a long time and we haven't heard anything like that since.
I heard a second hand story when I lived in a rural town in AZ about a friend who saw a “6 foot owl” that flew off when the lights of his truck hit it. The next day I was so intrigued I asked a fellow coworker who is Navajo about the incident. She chuckled and stated “I could probably tell you who that was.” It sent chills down my spine. She gave me the same explanations that you had in this and other videos! Good stuff please make more videos like this 🙏🏾
Respect that you honour your elders! Blessings to them! They're protecting you!
Another banger I like these skinwalker videos especially coming from a real Navajo who actually knows what's going on a lot of people I see on here are fools!!! God bless brother keep up the great work🙏🙏
Many blessings! Thanks for watching!🙌🏽🪶
Thank you for these wonderful stories, and your courage to share. I've slept outside near Spider Rock. But I stayed awake all night. A spirit from the dark called out my name. Something was in the trees. But then a bear, a physical real one (I think), scared them off for me. A lot more happened but no need to share on here. Your experiences help me to realize I am not crazy. I feel validated listening to you. Thank you so much!!
You are brave to have slept outside there! Are u talking about our in canyon de chelley? If u did that u are super brave I wouldn’t stay outside there at all!
@aimeekreutzer-malkawi Yes, it was outside of Canyon de Chelley. A pretty interesting experience. I have a lot of stories about it.
I live in Chinle and I can 110% tell you that I would cut off my arm before we would sleep in that canyon. Nope.
Scary stuff! We have had our own encounters here in flagstaff , myself but especially my kids. And a few encounters out on the rez. Nothing to mess around with. (My kids are half Navajo) but even in flagstaff some areas people need to be careful! Stay safe and healthy out there people and especially observant in these days. Evil is out there. And great video thanks for sharing your story!
Thanks for watching!🙌🏽🪶
Can you mention where to stay away from in Flagstaff? I live in Valle and travel 180 all the time. I've been here for one year. There's one restaurant downtown I just had a strange experience in last Tuesday....
And on Thanksgiving, after sharing stories with some people, I had something knocking all around my house all night.
@@florentinaguggenheimer6557 could be anywhere really. Our experiences some years ago had been near NAU when I lived at south campus and my young adult children same thing in and around that area. Be careful out there! Especially hearing knocking. I would pray it away so it doesn’t happen again.
@@florentinaguggenheimer6557 I wouldn’t talk about some stories towards night. For me I heard recently it can awaken evil if you know what I mean. Make sure u pray each night to cover you and your family and your home. We are living in dark times
Would you mind sharing your restaurant experience? Thanks@@florentinaguggenheimer6557
I love when you upload anything, the skinwalker videos are my fave. I also like that you debunk the things they are NOT.
Of all the content surrounding skinwalkers, your story seriously creeped me out. The way you tell it, I can relate to a lot of it. I have some very scary stories from my childhood when I lived on the reservation. The heavy sensation one feels is one I dread, and the way you described it brought back a level of discomfort to me and I felt scared or like I was being watched, doesn't help that it's early (4 a.m.) and having flashbacks. Anyway, I appreciate your explanation and clarifying for others what skinwalkers really are as far as the Diné know. I have subscribed!!
I appreciate you coming on here and clarifying things again. That story is so scary, glad you’re okay now. 😳 Hopefully people can respect that there’s a very good reason why Navajo don’t speak about these things to us outsiders. Dig the new light by the way! Looking forward to your next video. 😊
This information is so valuable. There are many inaccuracies and misconceptions--largely due to folks who do to their own ambitions--twist to affirm their own narratives. Many well known "paranormal researchers" do this because they want their narratives to be compelling and scary--accuracy gets thrown out the window.
I have to say, If you really are how you portrait yourself to be, my respects to you Sir. Keeping and obeying Navajo traditions and elders is to be admire. Respect to you.
Thank you very much for being upfront and providing everyone with the knowledge that you have. I live in the area of one of the Four Mountains, and have always been apart of the occult community since my early 20's (I'm almost 50 now). Since I moved to this area almost 2 decades ago, I have been fascinated with the legends and stories of the Navajo. I work with many Navajo folks at my mundane job, and they love to share their stores with me as well, but some are very "tight-lipped" when I ask them questions. It's understandable. But I have always believed to be armed with knowledge. So thank you for providing that.
Also, since it's kinda the area, I wondered your take on, Urraca Mesa? I have considered taking a weekend "scouting" trip there. As an investigator. I have heard all the stories but not many others have.
New subscriber to your channel. Bro, I'm so glad to have found your channel. Although I am an Indian from India, but have always been fascinated about the subject of Skinwalkers. It's so great to find a channel where a Native American is talking about it. It is like getting the info from the actual source. That story you shared was truly scary! Glad to know you are safe. Please don't stop making videos, we need more info from Indigenous people who can tell more more about this stuff. God bless you and best wishes to you from India. Cheers man!!
Thank you for clarifying the truth about the skin walkers and so forth. People always try to make their own stories around everywhere just to get attention and that's not cool.
I remember that skin your brother got in Elton and Cory's video I became a full believer after viewing that I couldn't believe you guys actually got one thank God you guys were with that group poor Cory.
Ethan looked pissed off and skeptical.
I really enjoy the videos, when I was younger I didn’t have much respect but as time grew I grew and now have deep respect for the spirits and spiritual beings. Thank you for giving us knowledge ✨
What an honor it is to hear your stories.
hey, so I'm in the Army, and deployed the the US-Mexico boarder. One night, about 0200ish in the morning, we where posted up at in a truck a bit inland from the boarder, and I was out smoking a cigarette (American Spirit if it matters), when I saw what looked like 2 deer run by on the other side of a ranch fence, but the deer didn't look like they had heads, and where white as snow, so I almost shit myself, hop by in the truck, and tell my buddy what I saw, hung up the phone, busted out the flashlight, and went for a drive around the area. we went up a road, saw nothing, but on our way back, my buddy noticed a set of eyes looking at us. I thought "no big deal, we're shining a light into the brush, of course we got somethings attention" when the eyes started to get taller and taller. at first I thought it was a coyote, but by the time it stopped growing, it was taller than the truck, so about 6 ft give or take. I floored it back to our post, we locked the doors, raised the windows, and sat in silence for the last few hours of our shift. the night before I was on the phone with my little sister, who grew up in Utah, Cali, and ND, I mentioned skin walkers well outside at night, and she lost her shit saying I just summoned one, but I didn't believe in them so I kind of just brushed it off.
a week or two later, I was with a BP agent, and I mentioned what I saw, and he just looked at me with a stare, and said it was a skin walker. this was a 40-50 something, Marine vet, who worked for BP, and his voice cracked when he said that, there was fear in that mans eyes. I tried to ask him to explain what he meant, and he just said "it's night, and we have agents in the field, I'm not talking about them any more than I already have", then he radioed a few agents to check in.
do you have any idea what I saw? I assumed it was a skin walker until you mentioned the range, and this was pretty far outside the range of where you said they could be found. I'm in an area that use to be inhabited by the Coahuilteco and Carrizo tribes (at least according to a map I found on google) if that helps
Ok. Listen up because what I'm about to tell you, may sound pretty far fetch but it's not. Evil times my friend we live in, ok. Everybody knows that the Mexican Cartel, operates between the U.S./Mexico, but they also operate Mexico/Guatemala border as we'll. A while back some Guatemalan soldiers we're scared of fighting the Drug Cartels, in that region. They we're saying stuff like crazy things, we'll the U.S. sent somebody to investigate. We'll they found out that the drug Cartels, we're using witches, and witch doctors, to assist against the soldiers. So if they are using this tactic in those regions you can bit there using it here. Then we have Cern opening up portals, and believe me something is getting through. Just remember if you run across a giant, make sure you are using
copper rounds. Make sure you cover yourself with "God's armor" look it up. Oh. One more thing, there are cryptids, lurking just about every where.
Skinwalker is and it's specifically denotes. This type of stuff coming from Navajo reservations. But there are similar entities throughout the world that do this type of stuff. This is old black magic type shit, ancient evil. Maybe it wasnt a skinwalker per say but it sounds virtually identical
@GerardoRodriguez-tp9gr well said, i agree. This type of black magic witchcraft is practiced throughout the world by various cultures on all continents
It was a nahual but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a evil thing , most nagual shifters aren’t evil
It could absolutely have been a skinwalker, they're not solely in the Navajo nation. There are also shapeshifters everywhere.
Thank you Shanclen for sharing your experience with us 🙏❤️
I always believed that skinwalkers start as human native witches whom perform a ritual practice and invoke a demon spirit to transform them in the animal pelt they wear, but I always felt like a wendigo was never a human at all...
I appreciate all your stories of the "Skinwalkers" and have learn a lot from you not just on this subject but all of your stories. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the tip. I want to go to a reservation sometime & show respect to all Native Americans. You are a breath of fresh air & love all the lore associated with all the tribes. Peace & love, brother. G from AZ🌵🤟🏻💕
Hello, and thank you for your knowledge and wisdom. I also find your voice peaceful and soothing! 😀👍
Until the next time, task it easy.
Anna 🌹🍃🍃
Your voice is so soothing and comforting. I fall asleep listening to you
I love and appreciate that you are willing to teach those of us who are willing to open our minds and sit still and really listen to you and take to heart the wisdom and teachings of your ancestors. I am grateful to you sir. Many Blessings to you and your family.
There’s a podcast out there where a white guy with his grandfathers ashes was carjacked on the rez by two criminal Navajo who attempted to murder him. Later other Navajo told the white guy that it must have been a skinwalker because typical Navajo would have freaked out over being in close contact with the ashes of a dead person.
What podcast is that? How the white guy get away?
Did he get the ashes back?
What if they didn’t know he had ashes in his car?
I’m Navajo and grew up on the rez by the way (Tuba City and Page AZ if it matters)
@@SlumCut6661 the Navajo asked what was in the vase, and the white guy told him cremation ashes. Also the alleged skinwalker was pushing the other Navajo to murder, as that what skinwalkers do. Make others do evil.
I’m glad I stumbled across your channel I grew up/live in Oklahoma I’m Kiowa and Navajo but my great grandfather was Dooley D Shorty, he died when I was six so I never got to ask the questions I want to know today but I love watching your videos I can’t wait to learn more about my Navajo side!
Welcome welcome!🙌🏽🪶
Thank you for this! Love the blooper reel too! 😊
Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you for speaking about this and sharing what you can and honoring your truths. Be safe and God bless
There is a channel called Wartime stories that did a video on stores from US Soldiers telling stories about encounters with Skinwalkers. He did a brief intro about the history of them in Navajo culture,
Have you seen and if so what do you think. Was Luke respectfully to your culture and did these soldiers encounter Skinwalkers?
Soldiers in general have some incredible stories. I have numerous relatives that served in Iraq and Afghanistan as marines and they have some insane paranormal stories.
Thank you for sharing, this was a complete vibe, and thank you to your elders for allowing you to share!
I admire your braveness tbh
I appreciate you sharing your experience! I come from a very spiritual peoples in the Pacific as well, and we have a similar code of conduct for listening to our elders when they say not to share secrets. Much love and respect from the Samoas!
Thank you for sharing. Very interesting!
I'm half Yaqui and have cousins who are half Done and live on the Rez in Arizona. My cousin from very early age warned me of the Skinwalker.. very Real!! Not to be played with, Thank you for your knowledge about Skinwalker brother.
12:35 that hot prickly sensation happens too often to us aunties going through it with wicked menopause vasomotor symptoms so we don’t rely on it around a certain age for women, we don’t sleep well and when I’m having a hard time, I pace around our place and remind said creatures that it wouldn’t be wise to mess with a person who is at the highest level of frustration and nothing to take it out on and to consider my pacing around my apartment or apartment complex is fair warning 🤨and I haven’t had a real meal in years, so my appetite could probably outmatch theirs, especially when I’m on weeks & weeks worth of prednisone, my appetite is ridiculous on that stuff and they’re even more screwed if I’m also listening to my tunes 🎧 🎶 🤜🏽💥 doesn’t mean that I’m gonna be reckless, or not show them the respect necessary to survive them, just that they’re not gonna find us tribal menopausal grannies as much of a pushover as they consider us and why do they think us tribal grannies are easy to scare 🤣✊🏽 because we’re not 😂we tend to be the scary ones 🤨
I’m not indigenous but I love your videos. Solid advice and a cool look into another culture. My mentor in the Marines was Navajo but didn’t talk much about spiritual topics, and I can see why he’d choose to be private about it.
Right way to kick off a work week!
Have a great week!!
I like the fact you don't exploit tradition like some others do because some things are just sacred. Living in an area that the Southern Paiute and the Anasazi's lived in and know where some sacred sites are but tend to stay away from out of respect. Now there are some area's that I get a complete bad feeling going thru certain area's and half of those area's tall black shadows along with somethings that to Anasazi times or older. Keep up the good work and always stay true to yourself.
Thank you for your great work. You are appreciated here in Colorado!❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!!🙏🏽🪶
From someone who's family that has also dealt with spiritual warfare, when you talked about the feeling of evil I knew exactly what you ment.
Hey, shanclen. I really appreciate your channel. I got introduced to your channel here. Much respect and gratitude that you decided to speak and share stories.
I later after subscribing to you discovered the other channel, unearthing the supernatural and I think it's very refreshing to see someobe who knows what they do in relation to these things.
Welcome to the channel!! Happy you enjoy the content!🙌🏽🪶
Cannot wait for more in the playlists and longer stories. Glad to be here, thank you❤
you are the best to cover these topics
So glad that you were safe after your encounter ❤
Grew up on a rez in nw canada. I believe these beings have control over whole areas. It's why such darkness on certain reservations. The people with the most lack of connection seemed to be on the rez. But preached connection to nature. Curses from these entities.
Dude... You just told an experience that is almost bang on to one that happened to me. 100% to this DAY I will not camp outside.
I always look forward to your videos🙏🏽 awesome work🙏🏽
Thanks for enjoying!🙌🏽🪶
Thank you Brother for sharing, when I was young. My family used to go to Minnesota to camp every year. When I was 9 or 10 years old, I had gotten lost in the woods. I remember hearing a rustling, in the trees. All I can remember is that it felt as though someone put their arms around me and I felt Fur. I knew then I was in the arms of a Great One. I believe the stories of Skinwalker Ranch
Great video again 👍🏼
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching!!
I appreciate your content so much! I'm sorry so many folks are asking for personal stories about this topic. Im an individual who lives in rural Maine and there's a "practice" in my family. at night if you hear or see something in the woods, no you didn't. Don't bring it up. So I can understand not wanting to bring up personal experiences that bring back fear/terror/ or just straight up respecting the culture don't bring it up so it doesn't follow you back to your dwelling spot. I hope you know I enjoy your videos and hope you can talk about other spooky encounters that don't involve these beings. Love hearing your perspective! Blessings. ❤️
You have to account for lands your people WERE on but are no more. I'm not Dine but saw one right in the middle of Albuquerque in the bosque.
I totally respect that you are only going to share with us what you are allowed to tell, because you dive so much into depth with the “little” that you do end up discussing!!! I love it!!!✨
So you want to know about Wendigo? I am a descendant from the Algonquin tribe although I am mostly French from a few generations. I've never experienced, but I've heard tales. I've done my research, and ive asked my questions.
Wendigo is a creature that is indeed a curse. It was a curse brought about by cannibalism and ritual. When people were starving back in those days, they made pacts with evil forces not to die of starvation. Greed, and a need for power are often associated, and this apparently transforms the host. Try to imagine a werewolf hopped up on evil spirits. That is what Wendigo supposedly is. It is said you can't kill one by normal means. A mix of chanting, ritual, and specialized blessed weapons made of volcanic glass or sacred bone are said to be needed when hunting a Wendigo, and even then it's unlikely to succeed.
They are pale as snow, and usually have animal trophies on their bodies for after the ritual is performed. which is why they are usually depicted as wearing stag horns. Animal sacrifice and human sacrifice/cannibalism is usually part of the ritual. They lose these trophies as they lose their minds and personality to insatiable hunger and evil. They are said to be fast, extremely strong, and known to have a terrifying animal call. Apex predators with spiritual protection from evil forces. The host becomes more animal than man. Completely feral, and always hungry. Said to be immortal, but I've also heard stories of them just living extremely long lives. It is said the longer they are able to eat, they grow in size and strength, and also extend their lives. They are extremely rare even more so than a skinwalker, but are far more dangerous as well.
The last well documented tale Ive heard happened over 150 ish years ago. It killed half a tribe and the hunters and shamans hunted it down. The wendigo was a member of their tribe from the distant past who apparently wanted to be tribe leader and share this power with his people. They exiled him, so he performed the rites, and he started hunting them generationally after his wendigo transformation until the tribe decided enough was enough. They took it down, and another hasnt been spotted since. This is a tribe story which is why you wont hear about it on youtube or the internet. Wendigo is a forbidden subject for the most part in Algonquin folklore. It is said to bring bad luck. There is much I can't say, and for good reasons.
Thank you for sharing!
That's absolutely wild, thank you very much for sharing. I had been wondering about the differences between skinwalker and Wendigo.
Another great, informative video!! And without spilling too many details, I like to think there’s still some mystery in the world. 🌎🤟
You are very knowledgeable I love your wisdom ❤️
We want more, in accordance to what they let you show of course, but you talking about this stuff is really addicting, love this content
14 minutes and you are talking about waking up before someone shows up and that is so crazy because I work at a motel and every time someone comes in the middle of the night to rent a room I will wake up 5 minutes early and have to go pee and I can't figure out why I can't go back to sleep and within that 5 minutes someone will show up to rent a room. So crazy. I do have this ability.❤❤❤❤❤ Still watching.❤❤❤❤❤
I have a lot of respect for you willingness to share this info. I do know that the Navajo do not want to talk about it, either amongst the tribe and especially not to outsiders for fear of attracting the attentions of the evil ones. Thanks for educating us and stay safe. Evil does exist!
Thank you for your insight but my questions are, What attracts skinwalkers to a person and how to avoid having one being attracted to a person?
Don’t have a nice truck on the rez and you’ll be good👹 haha
@@ShanclenShadowProductions Lol, nice.
@@sharpend2173jealousy.
@@sharpend2173Don’t have nice things or brag about yourself or things to others
@@ShanclenShadowProductions Why would they want your truck? I thought Skinwalkers had to give up all modern world comforts.
Can you image a cop pulling over a Skinwalker for speeding or a missing taillight? How would that go.
I always find your videos fascinating. I agree that it's troubling that pop culture likes to appropriate concepts and pervert them for entertainment purposes. That's why I try to broaden my spectrum and learn as much as possible. It's important to know the boundaries of BS because there's no such thing as too much knowledge or preparedness. I appreciate your videos and the wisdoms you share very much.
But aren't you spiritually protected from these creatures and beings? I've seen once this black shadow being with red eyes curiously watching me from outside my window and i stared back, it dissapeared, i don't fear because Creator is in control. Think we are allowed to see and experience things for our learning.
Showing LOVE for the channel Thank You for another great video once again my friend. Have a blessed day everyone
Thank you for your videos. It's so frustrating that pop culture has taken the sk*nwalker name and randomly applied it to whatever they want. Interacting with the supernatural isn't something to be taken lightly, and it seems like way too many people don't have the common sense needed to not stir up trouble for themselves. Smh
A fellow author set her story in Washington state and when asked why she called the character a sk*nwalker, she said whatever, it's all the same. I got a little heated, not going to lie. I don't know much since I am not Najavo/Diné but I know enough not to throw that name around.
These stories are so cool and educational. I'm a huge into the paranormal but I do have respect. Thank you for telling us.
Thank you, for sharing your knowledge. Have you ever heard of Skinwalker Ranch?
In the summer and thanxgiving I stay a mile or 2 away from there.
@@Melre123 Wow, thats when they film for the next season, so you may see things the insiders dont even get to see. Due to "the channels" nda's, they block some of the live stream camera views until filming is over.
@@Life_no.9 my moms family lives nearby, we pass the turn there almost everyday. I went to the gates before, they’re chained. Nobody was there when we were there years ago.
@@Life_no.9 I’ll be sure to drive by slowly. Lol
I grew up in utah as a kid and went to school with hopi and zuni children i spent weekends on the rez...and loved mskibg fry bread and hiking and doing things with my i digenous friends , i must have been a sight a freckled faced blue eyed blonde girl ...but i didnt care i was just happy to be there and apart of.😊
Between you and David Paulides, I'm never going camping again
Dude, there is even more information on Steve Isdahl channel called "how to hunt" you'll thank me. If you do decide to ever go into the woods again, arm yourself.
Keep your Bible on hand and stay in prayer. There is no need to fear these creatures, for the Lord Jesus has already defeated death and sin. These beings fear the Lord Jesus-- their judge and Destroyer-- far more than we fear them.
I live in Arizona, we don't out at night to or on the reservations. I wish a lot more people here took it seriously. Thanks for sharing you're great at telling the stories
