Overview
The Skinwalker Ranch in Utah
Skinwalker Ranch is said to be a hotbed of paranormal activity and strange happenings. For over 50 years, reports of UFO sightings, glowing orbs, poltergeists, animal mutilations, crop circles, and even Sasquatch have come to light. Frightening events are just known to happen in this area. Over 100 cattle mutilations and disappearances have been investigated by Colm Kelleher and Goerge Knapp over the years.
The Hunt for Skinwalker Film
George Knapp and Colm Kelleher collaborated to turn their book of the same name to a film based on the ranch and its supernatural activities. The film studies the surrounding areas which are apparently tightly secured by what may be military controlled areas which appear to have Area-51 level security. Could something nefarious from nearby properties be contributing to the UFO sightings and paranormal activity?
Where is the Skinwalker Ranch?
Skinwalker Ranch is a 512-acre ranch just southeast of Ballard, Utah. The Skinwalker Ranch is located at 7500 East, Randlett, UT 84063, USA in west Uintah County. The Skinwalker Ranch is also known as Sherman Ranch but received the Skinwalker name from the Navajo legend of the skin-walker, a shapeshifting witch similar to Wendigo lore.
Stories from the Skinwalker Ranch
Many stories have surfaced over the last 50 years. The property is on the Ute Indian Reservation which adds to the lore. The name and many legends have passed down from the Ute and surrounding tribes.
- The Ute tribe members call the ranch “the path of the skinwalker” and the tribe is said to never set foot on the property. The Utes believe the land is cursed by the Navajo tribe placed on the area a long time ago.
- The Shermans are previous owners who purchased the land but left after only 2 years. The mutilations and strange occurrences were too much for the family. They say they lost nearly 20% of their herd.
- The family reported seeing strange animals on the property that were odd in their movements and reported seeing a UFO the size of “two football fields.”
