The author of the controversial bestseller Brain Trust brings his scientific expertise to the chilling true story of unexplained phenomena on Utah's Skinwalker Ranch -- and challenges us with a new vision of reality. For more than fifty years, the bizarre events at a remote Utah ranch have ranged from the perplexing to the wholly terrifying. Vanishing and mutilated cattle. Unidentified Flying Objects. The appearance of huge, otherworldly creatures. Invisible objects emitting magnetic fields with the power to spark a cattle stampede. Flying orbs of light with dazzling maneuverability and lethal consequences. For one family, life on the Skinwalker Ranch had become a life under siege by an unknown enemy or enemies. Nothing else could explain the horrors that surrounded them -- perhaps science could. Leading a first-class team of research scientists on a disturbing odyssey into the unknown, Colm Kelleher spent hundreds of days and nights on the Skinwalker property and experienced firsthand many of its haunting mysteries. With investigative reporter George Knapp -- the only journalist allowed to witness and document the team's work -- Kelleher chronicles in superb detail the spectacular happenings the team observed personally, and the theories of modern physics behind the phenomena. Far from the coldly detached findings one might expect, their conclusions are utterly hair-raising in their implications. Opening a door to the unseen world around us, Hunt for the Skinwalker is a clarion call to expand our vision far beyond what we know.

The stories presented here by Meg Brady, collected with delicacy and care from her own students, speak to us in a rarely available, open, and trusting way. The reader will find that this is no mere 'kids' stuff, ' but rather that it provides a rich - perhaps even astounding - insight into the ways in which children's oral narratives encapsulate their culture's ongoing emotional concerns. Brady's work also amply demonstrates the capacity of children to develop highly articulated and formulaic modes of narrative expression, and shows how these narratives relate the children to the cultural worlds around them ... It is apparent from Brady's conclusion to this fascinating study that an analysis of skinwalker stories demonstrates the ways in which traditional Navajo symbols persist in an area of the reservation which is becoming more culturally heterogeneous. Contact with others actually accentuates Navajo values rather than eroding them. The symbol system associated with the skinwalker figure is flourishing, and in the storytelling events of the Navajo children there is dramatically enacted the process by which a culture as vibrant as that of the Navajo perpetuates and continually recreates its most meaningful symbols.

''Come with me as we walk along the forbidden path of the skinwalker, and investigate the mysteries surrounding Skinwalker Ranch ... This book reads like fiction but what's inside really happened!"--Publisher.

The Skinwalker is deeply embedded in the Native American lore of the peoples indigenous to the Four Corners of the American Southwest. Though contemporary archaeologists and anthropologists have uncovered significant evidence of its presence in the art of the ancient peoples which inhabited the Great Basin and surrounding lands prior to the tribes which were to follow, there is no explanation for its origin-beyond an alternate plane or spirit world-or its eventual, and temporary, disappearance. Regardless, history documents that the Skinwalker was again drawn forth by the Shaman of the Navajo to avenge the cruelty of their enemy, the Ute. To this day, the Skinwalker remains among us, haunting a corridor among the hills and canyons known as the Path of the Skinwalker. Here in these pages is a collection of actual modern Skinwalker encounters told by those who came face to face with this frightening and supernatural being.
