Skinwalker Ranch: Signs & Wonders New Evidence, UFOs, Ghosts, Monsters

foreign [Music] I think you could say that acquiring Skinwalker  Ranch was part of a religious Journey or at least my spiritual journey I think most people  on this planet at some time or another ask those those long-standing questions where  did we come from why are we here where are we going is there a higher power is there a  purpose to life and I saw Skinwalker Ranch as a living laboratory where you could  you could find potentially some of the answers to those religious questions that so  many people have sure or at least prove that we’re not alone in the universe or that our  reality is not what it might seem [Music] where does faith fit into that because with  spiritual and religious beliefs faith is believing that something exists without seeing it  you have faith that it’s there but you can’t see it you can’t prove it so how does faith fit into  a place like Skinwalker where you want to know

you want to prove you want to find people ask me  all the time do you consider yourself a believer and my answer is that no I’m not a believer  I’m an experiencer I’ve actually experienced things on this Ranch I have witnessed  things I have data supporting what I believe to be the fact that there is  something truly extraordinary happening [Music] before I land at Skinwalker Ranch you need to know  something first I’m only here because the owner of Skinwalker Ranch Brandon fugel accepted my request  to come but that almost didn’t happen [Music] secret of Skinwalker Ranch is an ongoing  reality show on the History Channel it documents the Endeavors of scientists and  investigators hunting for supposed paranormal activity on the ranch one of those scientists and  arguably the star of the show is Dr Travis Taylor publicly Taylor has been very critical of my  previous reporting for the basement office

a few days before my visit Brandon fugle  called me to say Travis Taylor didn’t want me at the ranch and he asked fugle to cancel  my trip to his credit Fugal said no to Taylor bring it on he said I’m not scared of  anyone so here I am and here we go [Music] this is Brian Arnold known by his nickname  dragon he’s the ranch Chief security officer on the History Channel show he’s often seen  holding assault rifles not to shoot aliens but to protect them against wild animals like  mountain lions or to arrest human trespassers which they say they’ve had a few Stephen I’d  like to introduce you to Eric Bard principal investigator my pleasure this is Eric Bard the  ranch’s principal investigator and chief scientist a physicist and Technical Guru Bard is behind the  vast installation of the ranch’s high-tech camera systems monitoring devices and other scientific  equipment on the show he’s often the first one to

point out potential Paranormal Activity and this  is Thomas Winterton the ranch’s superintendent he manages the maintenance and upkeep of the property  and assists in the team’s investigations he claims to have had multiple paranormal encounters  at the ranch not present was Travis Taylor I sit down with the skinwalker crew  and bring up the first thing on my mind this place you guys have been here for six years um the 20 years prior to that comes with a lot of  history written history the books are right over there a lot of stories yeah Bigelow but a lot of  stories for 20 years the ranch’s previous owner Robert Bigelow claimed the ranch was crawling  with UFOs ghosts and all kinds of monsters Bigelow Associates released two books full of  stories about horrifying creatures that stalked the ranch including a bulletproof werewolf  that couldn’t be killed no matter how many

times they shot it so now that Brandon fugle and  his investigators have been there for six years have they seen these things have you guys ever  ever any of you seen such a creature I can only speak for myself personally now no have not  we have no data under our investigation that supports that what about the half dinosaur half  beaver creature that the Bigelow team claimed to have seen at the ranch has the new Skinwalker  crew ever seen the infamous Dino beaver foreign I can’t even ask the question have you ever  seen a dino Beaver no I’ve never seen a dino beaver I wouldn’t even know what that that’s an  interesting name to to come up with it sounds like the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard  and what about the Bigelow claims of UFOs and scary creatures coming out of interdimensional  tunnels in Portals you’ve never seen a portal

open up in a spaceship come out no okay I’ve never  seen the creek could reach out and pull itself out and drop to the ground and walk off either never  seen it so it appears the ghouls and goblins of the Bigelow days are nowhere to be found in  Brandon fugel’s version of Skinwalker Ranch I’m not saying anything negative about our  predecessors I’m just simply saying that it just sounds so ridiculous because it’s so far  outside the scope of what we are investigating and documenting over the course the last  six years it’s obvious Fugal is trying to distance himself from the outlandish stories of  the Bigelow era calling some of them ridiculous however on the History Channel show that  he produces he takes a different tone in the early 90s Robert Bigelow bought  Skinwalker Ranch when his team conducted a very aggressive scientific investigation  the Bigelow team ended up having all sorts

of strange things happen with spooky music and  dramatic effect the Bigelow stories of the past are used to amplify support and validate fugle’s  current endeavors the story of a bulletproof wolf creature for example is presented a few times  in fugle’s show with a very legitimizing tone a very large wolf came in off the plains  the father then went inside got a weapon and came out and started shooting at it Point  Blank you know right here shooting at the wolf they encountered these giant wolf-like creatures  that the Native Americans would refer to as Skinwalker and were literally impervious to  to him to gunshots as we previously reported Robert Bigelow never presented any evidence  at all to support any of his claims about wolf creatures or other monsters at Skinwalker  Ranch and Beyond just stories neither does fugle I’ve heard that this ground here is the Gateway  for these shape shifters are these Skin Walkers

yeah all that notwithstanding there is one spooky  thing from the Bigelow days that Fugal and his team openly claim to be true The Hitchhiker a  malevolent phenomena that supposedly attaches itself to people attacks them and causes  a wide range of injuries to their bodies The Hitchhiker phenomena according to you Israel  we have data demonstrating that there is validity to those claims illnesses in injuries have  occurred at your Ranch absolutely this of course leads me to an obvious question I have to  ask this question why are you guys here if if that is a threat and if that is a potential and if that  can happen at any moment what are you doing here best person to answer that question is sitting  right here what are you doing here yeah in 2017 I suffered a head injury that nearly cost me my life  Thomas says he felt pain in his head but had no

idea what was causing it a doctor Was preparing  my My Wife and Kids for the fact that I may not pull out of it people ask well why do you go back  I come back for several reasons first being is uh something that almost cost me my life became  very personal I’d like to get some answers I’d like to know what happened Thomas  claims doctors ran dozens of tests on him but were left baffled as to the cause or source  of his head injury when I uh was discharged from the hospital they literally didn’t know what the  diagnosis was really and so I I had to sign a paper on discharge where they stated they didn’t  know what had taken place really interesting and difficult for me to process you know that’s that’s  unique and it’s not the only case from what I understand on the History Channel show there are  quite a few times when cast members appear to be

afflicted by some kind of invisible force often  they end up in Urgent Care with various diagnoses to be sure it is quite shocking to watch we  have had numerous acute medical episodes occur with participants unfortunately under my  stewardship okay that’s why I had you sign the same liability I had to find a health waiver  yeah the waiver of liability is something that we have required the waiver fugle required me to  sign before coming to Skinwalker explicitly said I could be seriously injured or Worse from the  Paranormal phenomena at the ranch I personally didn’t feel scared at all because I didn’t believe  it but deep down I’ll admit I wondered what if it was time to take a tour fugle asked me what I’d like to see first I tell him I  want to see where it all started this is the house where in 2007 James lacatsky  then a scientist for the defense intelligence

agency claims he witnessed a glowing paranormal  Apparition floating in mid-air and because of this experience lacatski approached Senator Harry  Reid about creating an official Pentagon program to study UFOs and related phenomena such as  the ghostly object he claims to have seen funded with taxpayer money the OSAP program among  other things investigated supposed paranormal phenomena at Skinwalker Ranch the allsap program  eventually ended up on the front page of the New York Times and a factually inaccurate article  that erroneous article led to a viral media circus which is culminated with Congress  spending more taxpayer money on UFOs but the story in many ways started  here in this house at Skinwalker Ranch Candace Lin and Tom Lewis currently live  in this house as the ranch’s caretakers they invite us inside to take a look [Music]  so you have the kitchen right there but it’s right here so James was actually  standing right here when he saw a pure

where you’re standing right where I’m standing  so this is strange the story is now different because James lacaski stated multiple  times that he saw the object in the kitchen however now that the Fugal team mistakenly  thinks laketsky had his experience in the foyer almost like in a game of telephone they now  have their own new spooky stories about the foyer this is a special spot in the  house we’ve had multiple people um witness something in front of this  window between the door and the window yeah so it wasn’t only the the military guy  Kristen was standing right here and she’s and looking toward the same area that James had been  looking toward and suspended in the air was this grid-like structure and then some other people  who’ve been here wouldn’t even sit right they won’t even they won’t in front of this this  window you do have a camera yes we do in fact

that’s the only inside camera we have because of  the strangers that’s exactly where I was going I was like have you thought about putting a cam  there it is okay great ever captured anything we’ve captured uh thing something will  because I have it set up so it turns on if it gets any motion and it’ll turn on sometimes  we don’t ever we haven’t yet seen anything oh we left the ranch house and fugo leads me towards  a Rocky Hill where he says a mysterious symbol is engraved in stone is this the trail yeah come oh  we’re going literally off the beaten Trail [Music] Brandon do you ever dress Ranch  appropriate this is me dressing down this is me that’s him casual this  is me casual this is as casual as I get the symbol carved into the Rock is said to  be over 200 years old and is apparently a

symbol from Freemasons so we’ve had a number of  experts look at this symbol and determine that it is communicating As Above So Below As Above  So Below is a historical phrase appropriated in modern times to describe the symbiotic  relationship between Earth Below and Heaven above it was above this exact Rocky Mesa where fugle  claims the first UFOs of his Skinwalker Ranch tenure appeared in June 2016 two months after  buying Skinwalker from Robert Bigelow a hired surveyor on the ranch called Fugal  to say he had taken a photo of a UFO at the time Fugal was back in Salt Lake City I  told him stop everything do not talk to anyone do not stop anywhere I need you to come straight here  this is the photo the surveyor drove three hours to physically show Fugal and this is the supposed  UFO it is a you know bona fide unidentified flying

object and it zipped away the description of  the object zipping off comes only from The Hired surveyor Fugal would later have a falling out with  this surveyor for becoming in his words unreliable after six months of owning Skinwalker Ranch Fugal  still had not personally seen anything strange or paranormal and I was visiting every month  sometimes a couple of times a month Stephen I didn’t see anything unusual I didn’t feel anything  unusual when visiting the property but this all changed with a phone call in October 2016 from  Fugal associate and former CIA scientist kit green green asked Frugal if a successful surgeon  he knew and his Entourage could visit the ranch Fugal agreed during their visit fuegel claims the  group felt sensations of dizziness and vertigo their phone batteries inexplicably died and one  of the surgeons security guards supposedly blacked out unconscious it was after all this weirdness  that Fugal says he finally saw his first UFO with

his own eyes above the rocky Mesa right ahead of  us above the Mesa in broad daylight within fairly close proximity is a 40 to 50 foot silver grayish  disc like object Fugal says the object began moving erratically back and forth before it darted  off and disappeared and then within a few seconds it’s gone like almost like a bullet shooting off  into the distance since all of their phones were dead photos and videos of this sighting don’t  exist however while reviewing photos taken earlier that day they discovered a photo that  allegedly shows a saucer-like UFO in the sky and it looks strangely similar to what we  the three of us is cited above the Mesa later that day the surgeon and his Entourage left  the ranch Fugal says he never saw them again but if he had been a skeptic about the ranch before as  he claims this series of events converted him into

a full believer it was a game-changing experience  for me it changed my entire perspective relative to the ranch I felt a new urgency and imperative  fugle would then increase his investment in Skinwalker Ranch doubling his efforts to find  the truth behind these supposed paranormal events we walked down from the rocky Mesa and get inside  Jurassic Park type Jeeps to take a Jurassic Park type tour of the 500 acre ranch here are  the property’s borders as seen from above this is the ranch headquarters  known as Homestead one this is the rocky Mesa where Fugal showed me  the mysterious Masonic symbol carved in stone we drive along this dirt road and to our left  see the first of three observation towers or bait pens from the Bigelow days you call them the bait  cage bait pen yeah you’d have animals you’d either have livestock or dogs as biosensors to draw the  phenomenon Bigelow would Place animals in these

pens as bait and then Ranch investigators would  wait for a predator ghost monster to show up in I don’t know maybe attack the animal or something  by the way when I say Predator I literally mean predator entities that were cloaking their  presence much like you see on the motion picture Predator from decades ago further down  the road we enter the triangle a location never really mentioned by the Bigelow team but has  suddenly become a center of supposed paranormal activity during fugal’s tenure this is a point  in the ranch where you have decided something is centered or happens more often there is a  high free pattern yes there is a high frequency of unexplained activity including electromagnetic  anomalies that occur here right here fugle’s team believes there is some kind of spooky invisible  anomaly in the air above the triangle we’ve been talking about the area over the triangle being  some sort of anomaly potentially a portal one

end of a wormhole something yeah Gateway yeah  what if that’s the other end of the wormhole past the triangle within a small  patch of trees is Homestead too arguably the most iconic location on the ranch  it’s a group of abandoned and desolate buildings where families used to live nearly a hundred  years ago Fugal tells me Homestead 2 is possibly the most haunted spot on the ranch a Nexus of all  kinds of Paranormal Activity unexplained phenomena for whatever reason seems to be focused or at  least a higher degree of it is focused in this area according to the stories of the Bigelow ERA  this place was supposedly the site of shocking paranormal things like monster spiders portals to  another dimension Poltergeist activity and this is the location where Bigelow investigators  claim they saw the infamous Dino beaver Fugal and his team haven’t seen any monster  spiders or Dino beavers they do say they have

recorded strange unknown anomalies on various  scientific devices like the time they brought out the rabbi from Ancient Aliens who’s written  books about aliens to say a prayer in front of Homestead too and they noticed the temperature  changed a little bit as the Ancient Aliens Rabbi said the prayer the rabbi said it was  a chant that’s supposed to open up a portal I don’t know I guess I was  secretly hoping for monster spiders we step outside the homestead and  I asked the team if they’d ever encountered ghostly voices from  invisible entities like previous Bigelow investigators had claimed  they had have there ever been any moments of that disembodied voices telepathic  voices you yes three times on this Ranch Thomas tells me a story where he and his wife  went to the ranch headquarters alone in the middle of the night to troubleshoot a technical  problem with one of the ranch surveillance cameras

he says the moment they arrived they felt  uneasy it was not a good feeling that night it was one when you come in like eights  the hair stands start standing up on your the arms while troubleshooting at a computer they  heard various strange sounds but nothing was there and then he says a voice spoke to them it sounded  like a male or a man standing between my wife and I we both heard at the exact same time just said  you need to leave now and my wife and I looked at each other she’s like did you hear that how loud  was it about like that you need to leave now and I thought it was auditory okay we both thought  we were hearing it with our ears I went to reach forward for the mouse and uh on this download and  we heard it a second time you need to leave now

frightened Thomas and his wife did leave but he  says he would hear a similar disembodied voice on the ranch on two other occasions and uh at  this point you know having been raised uh very religious you know the Holy Ghost this still  Small Voice right that’s what I signed it to Thomas grew up in the Mormon religion the Holy  Ghost in Mormonism is described as a still Small Voice and is believed to be a real spiritual  entity that comforts you guides you and sometimes literally talks to you I also grew up Mormon and  I would often hear church members tell stories about a voice that spoke to them usually in most  of the stories I heard the voice was a warning don’t go down that alleyway don’t go to that party don’t get in that car for Thomas he says he heard  you need to leave now it’s hard not to notice

how religion plays a role in a Skinwalker Ranch  specifically you know Mormonism does Mormonism directly or indirectly play a  role that’s a valid question when you have so many participants that have  a similar cultural background or cultural programming everyone in the skinwalker crew  that I met that day had at one point been involved with the Mormon church I was curious you  guys are is everyone here at this table either current Mormon grew up Mormon Mormon Heritage  that kind of thing I was just curious about culturally I was I would say yeah we’ve all have  experiences um and we’re all in different places with that I would say that’s how I met yeah I  was his mission trainer oh you were his senior companion that’s correct he’s my father yeah you  guys were he was mine he was my senior companion my trainer in Hawaii Fugal and Arnold met each  other on a Mormon mission in Hawaii in 1992.

and as someone who also served a Mormon Mission  and was at one point actively involved with the church it’s hard not to notice the religion’s  subtle influences here at Skinwalker Ranch Mormon theology I believe provides a very compelling road  map or explanation when it comes to understanding our place in the universe I mean I I love my faith  I was I was raised to believe that that we’re not alone in the universe that there are worlds  without number that there is a higher power that there is a divine inspired nature to our existence  when Fugal says there are worlds without number that comes directly from Mormon theology in  the church it’s taught that there are multiple dimensions of reality separated by a spiritual  fabric of space-time they call the Veil within all of these dimensions are worlds without number  worlds full of people who are alien to our Earth

traveling between these Dimensions is possible  through the power of God and through the power of Satan it should be noted that Harry Reid the  late U.S senator who believed there was indeed something paranormal at Skinwalker Ranch and who  went on to sponsor the creation of a pentagon program to study and investigate the ranch was  also a lifelong member of the Mormon church when asked by journalists and former  Bigelow associate George Knapp how he reconciled his Mormon beliefs with a  study of the Paranormal wreath said this anyone that’s looked at Mormonism at all  understands that we believe that there are other worlds and you know so Joseph Smith when he was  he was murdered at 38 he came up with this idea he claimed he got it from as we  believe from divine intervention he was right and others are wrong because I think  there’s no question that there are other worlds so

but proving that scientifically has been somewhat  elusive proving that there’s an afterlife that there are other dimensions of reality and  I think at Skinwalker Ranch we truly have accomplished what no one else has accomplished  and that is we’ve proven that there is more to our reality than meets the eye Fugal saying  he’s proven some of these things intrigues me because throughout the day I’d heard lots  of emphatic claims and compelling stories but I still hadn’t seen anything with  my own eyes so I asked them to show me we enter the ranch Command Center what  was once Robert Bigelow’s bedroom is now a very impressive headquarters full of high-tech  computers monitors and other scientific devices fugle has spared no expense in buying top of the  line equipment for his investigations at the ranch that in particular that’s a thirty thousand  dollar it’s a super computer super computer

yeah well here it looks like a few black  and white photos I’ve seen yeah sure what is this it says Satan one right so that’s  uh that’s an acronym it’s a sentinel assignment Telemetry and notification including Satan  Eric Bard has assigned religious names to various pieces of equipment Kane Adam Eve I’ve  got something to show you oh please okay Eric Bard then reveals brand new evidence he just found  on the ranch so new fugel hasn’t even seen it yet this is the first time I’m seeing this material  this is it’s a crystalline material and there’s an abundance of it out at the homestead area  Wow have you analyzed this yet uh no where did you find this this is out in the vicinity of  Homestead too under the ground on the ground um you can see it reflecting light on the surface  of the ground huh and you’ve never seen it before

it meaning it it stuck out to you as something new  yeah I mean again this is something that could be perfectly natural but you know it raises questions  is is this only found in that area could it have some relationship to the phenomenology itself out  there is it natural what kind of process could have caused this is it geologic yeah so we’re  gonna we’re gonna we’re gonna take a closer look at this okay I decide I need to see more than  just normal looking rocks discovered where rocks are usually found Fugal has installed dozens and  dozens of surveillance cameras on the ranch and all of that video comes through here and computers  highlight any movement or strangeness so with cameras all over the place running 24 7 for many  years now what are the best examples of Paranormal Activity they’ve captured on video what are  some of the best examples of something anomalous

this is what he shows me go ahead and say it out loud what’s your first  impression and what’s the first thing that comes to mind when you see that that movement uh bug  yes um I see a spider hanging from a web that you can’t is not being picked up on camera in the wind  blowing it is what I see you could see legs almost it almost looks like a body with legs going like  this okay okay the video clip is only 20 seconds long as such we’re not able to see what occurred  before or after the blurry bug thing appeared this limits the ability to fully come to a  conclusion so this thing goes out of sight and that’s it that’s it so is it conclusive  uh no I don’t I don’t think it is but boy it’s interesting they show this same clip on the  History Channel show but they edit it in a way

that makes it seem like it appears out of thin air  I really want your thoughts on what this might be what on Earth is that then after only briefly  looking at it Travis Taylor suggests the blurry bug thing might be something like yeah I’ll tell  you what it reminds me of the Tic Tac UAP video the UAP that appeared in the Tic Tac video that  was recorded by the USS Nemesis group in 2004.

uh uh what here’s some night vision  footage I found of a spider spinning a web these white orbs are just the infrared  reflecting off the silk it’s not a perfect match but it makes more sense than a Tic Tac  UFO that can travel at 80 000 miles an hour this is the next video that they show me okay  yeah so some things up here moving what I think is like a moth it’s very bug-like it isn’t it yeah  it is very erratic and bug-like here’s the problem look at look at the time stamp look at the date um oh cold yeah oh it’s a bit Old Winter yep okay  you see the problem yeah now the thing that caught my attention about this is the way this  thing exits the scene I can see that this object literally shrinks as it recedes as if towards  the horizon really fast okay so here we go

see what happens there huh you  can play it again so here we go that’s got that’s coming falcon it’s hyperspace  you know you know and that’s why sometimes when I play this for people I’ll make that noise while it  may be fun to pretend that this is a craft zipping away at high speed in reality there is simply not  enough data there to fully identify what it is do you understand how someone could go down a  rabbit hole an endless rabbit hole on something like this where when I see that I’m like  I think that’s a moth pending any new data Beyond this one video is it worth my time  really to obsess about it you know there is no there is no authoritative answer you’re  the one who’s going to provide that answer this is the final video I’m shown and one  of the ranch’s abandoned buildings in the

middle of the day two glowing objects float  in midair a bird flaps around and squawks the two objects appear to float up  towards the bird the bird then flies away oh dude the instant it reaches the bird  it flies away yeah okay so here’s what I’m going to ask you to do I want you to give me  uh one or two prosaic explanations for this sure um caterpillars you know the silk worms yes like  the caterpillars they do that they hang they suspend in air like that and so when I saw let’s  take a look I like I like this this comparison the other thing that makes me think it’s not  this is just the light there does seem to be a source of light right that is strange though  I’ll give you that that’s that is weird why should your average person care is it in the grand  scheme of things is what I just saw on this like

who cares so we’ve gone from seeing two flashes  of light in a carriage house to some really deep dive philosophical questions and to me that’s  that’s at least part of the point of this okay um I like this this discourse I like to take  it there take a moment and forget about all the other mundane stuff you know the stuff that  goes on in daily life and and think for a moment about well what would it mean to me if I were  to see that type of an event okay I don’t think there’s just one answer to this I have my answer  you have yours I think I would assume but I think what you just said is what would happen if yes  that just that that question what would happen if I think sums up UFOs the Paranormal yes  all of it is that what would happen if

thank you Brandon fugle flies back to Salt  Lake City to attend to his real estate business he’s given me permission to sleep overnight  in a tent out at Homestead too by myself I was about to head out when Thomas and Eric  sat me down and tried to talk me out of it we’ve never allowed somebody to be out there  by themselves alone just because of all the safety the health issues that we’ve had they  asked me if I’d be okay if they came out with me and remained close throughout the night as  a safeguard in case anything happened to me I said no I wanted to be alone out there to  experience it alone sure I think having like chaperones up on the hillsides isn’t what I  planned on doing it soon became apparent to me that they were indeed legitimately worried  about me I could see in their eyes real genuine

concern your guys are worried about me you’re  really worried about this issue this isn’t ghost tells that we’ve made up to narrative out there  these are things where real live individuals that were here suffered serious consequences  they tell me they’re concerned because multiple people have been previously attacked  and injured by paranormal forces on the ranch specifically out at Homestead too and there was  no cell phone reception out there if something happened to me I’d be on my own here’s the deal if  we send you over there by yourself and something bad happens and we’re over here not only are  we worried about the fact that we may not be able to get to you in time and I’ll tell you right  now I’ve personally been on cases where you came down to minutes of being getting somebody off I  mean it was that serious of an issue I finally

]agree to take a walkie-talkie with me to at  least remain in radio contact with the team before I head out Eric tells me  your presence here is an experiment it literally could yield data he’s curious to see  if I will provoke the Paranormal into revealing itself I’m in the bait pen [Laughter] I’m in  the bait pen yeah right like a worm on a hook thank you [Music] I appreciate it as I drove out onto the ranch it felt like  I was inside a church a 500 acre Church we’re Believers saw miracles signs and wonders and  I a skeptic saw nothing was I missing something was I blind what a night at  Skinwalker Ranch opened my eyes was I in for some kind of Unholy baptism hopefully  they’re not showing this footage at my funeral [Music] as I set up my tent outside supposedly the  most dangerous place on the ranch I thought

about the concern in the eyes of Thomas and  Eric they were probably wondering what kinds of terrible things awaited me what kind  of monsters would soon reveal themselves what kind of ghosts would haunt me  was I worried about those things no but as the sun set and my night at Skinwalker  Ranch began I found myself wondering what if foreign [Music]
