TRAVIS: Hello?
-
THOMAS: Travis.
-
TRAVIS: Hey, Thomas.
-
Hey, I’m not sure where you’re at on the property, but, uh, there’s something going on out here.
Come over here and check it out.
(panting)
Hey, y’all.
I’d recommend not to touch it till we see if it’s radioactive or not.
Too late.
THOMAS: Tom and I rolled it over just to see if we could see any animal markings on it.
-
No sign of trauma…
-
TRAVIS: What in the world? There’s no cat tracks, there’s no sign of struggle.
-
KANDUS: Middle of the day.
-
It’s just dead.
TRAVIS: It’s hard to kill a cow.
Check it with the Geiger counter, Dragon.
TOM: I saw her this morning, but she was alive.
That late morning?
(Geiger counter whirring)
TRAVIS: Lookit, the meter’s just going crazy, man.
Jumping high, then it jumps back to zero.
13, 14, we’re at 15– 16.
-
Is it still doing…
-
Lookit– hey, it’s at, it’s at five– it’s 18.
It just jumped to 18 just then.
Jim, are you seeing anything on the spectrum analyzer?
Actually, I am.
You are?
What are you seeing?
Something down in the lower areas.
So, I’m getting some pretty high spikes.
-
Some of the stuff like you saw yesterday.
-
See that?
-
What does this mean?
-
Well, uh, we don’t know what it is, but we’re seeing it with multiple instruments.
-
So this is something…
-
Something could be happening right now out of the ordinary.
We need to get out of here, guys.
THOMAS: Is there really a safe place on this ranch?
We’re quickly losing places that are safe to go on this ranch.
THOMAS: You know, on our way over to the mesa, there’s something I want to show you real quick.
-
You want to see it for just a second?
-
TRAVIS: Yeah! Heck, yeah.
My hope for being out here at Skinwalker Ranch is to get some answers.
There’s so many stories about, you know, boogeymen and aliens and whatever else.
If there is something happening out here that’s unusual, I want to find out.
So, Travis, a lot of interesting things.
So this used to be a very operational ranch, where they had the cattle, they would process right here.
They had calves in this area.
They had bulls in this area.
You mean when the-the Shermans owned the place…
When the Shermans occupied the, uh, the ranch here.
BRANDON: Everything that I have researched relative to the Sherman family leads me to believe that they were subjected to such an intense amount of disturbing activity.
They experienced everything from UFO sightings to countless cattle mutilations.
They had beasts or entities that would appear to them.
I don’t blame them for selling the property.
They were terrorized.
There’s a story where a very large wolf came in off the plains.
And a group of calves were in this pen right here.
The wolf put his head through, and started pulling one of the calves out of the fence.
The Shermans, seeing that, 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.
BRYANT: Right, like a .357, and then that didn’t do anything, so apparently, it let them go back in and a bigger gun, and I guess that’s what it took to let it– to make it drop the calf.
And the story goes that this animal was strong enough to withstand, allegedly, six shots from a .357 and a couple shots from a .30-06 rifle.
So they pursued after it, and as they got to the part of the ranch where the river bisects the property, they could see tracks going down the mud and starting up the side of the bank on the other side and then disappearing into nothing, as if the thing had just vaporized.
And so, there are rumors and stories that have come out about all sorts of really fantastic happenings here.
I-I know, uh, the stories of the skinwalker, the shape-shifter thing, isn’t one of the things that it’s supposed to turn into is like a big wolf?
-
That’s correct.
-
That’s strange, right?
When they talk about the curse of the skinwalker, um, back in the mid-1800s, 1860, uh, the Utes and the Navajo, um, they crossed each other.
Unfortunately, the Utes were utilizing the Navajos as slaves.
So the Utes and the Navajo got into a skirmish, and because of that the Navajos cursed this land, which now is the, uh, path of the skinwalker, this shape-shifting spirit.
I didn’t want to believe this phenomenon is real, but then there was one evening that we were combing the ground, and one of the guards that I was with carries, like, an infrared lamp, and as he was combing the rocs he pointed out two big red eyes.
It looked at me, and then it left.
Call me what you will, but I, personally, am not comfortable out here–
even with my security background as a military police officer–
to be out here alone, uh, in-in the, in the dark of the night.
