Unusual Tournament Posted January 31, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Some have called it a supernatural place. Others have deemed it “cursed.” Terry Sherman got so spooked by the happenings on his new cattle ranch that 18 months after moving his family of four to the property now known by many as “Skinwalker Ranch” in southeastern Utah, he sold the 512-acre parcel away. https://www.history.com/news/skinwalker-ranch-paranormal-ufos-mutilation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, Skinwalker Ranch is located in the Uinta Basin (a hotspot for weird stories) in northeastern Utah. Not surprising that the History Channel has fudged the details again. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unusual Tournament Posted February 1, 2020 Author #8 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Guys i found a better source for this story. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/m7qb54/inside-skinwalker-ranch-a-paranormal-hotbed-of-ufo-research The first is a farmhouse, occupied by the live-in caretakers of Skinwalker Ranch, Kandus Linde, a published anthropologist, and her partner Tom Lewis, a freelance graphic artist. “You hear a lot of stories about what goes on, but most of it is just stories. Do weird things happen? Yeah,” Linde explained to me. “The best way to describe it is that the ranch has a personality. It sounds crazy, I know.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He admits many are far-fetched, but if the ranch does hold strange secrets, he’s out to try his best to confirm them. Over the past several years, he and his staff have completely revamped the ranch, installing surveillance systems and scientific equipment all over in order to try to detect UFOs, paranormal activity, or otherwise explain some of the strange happenings that occur on Skinwalker Ranch. https://www.vice.com/en_in/article/m7qb54/inside-skinwalker-ranch-a-paranormal-hotbed-of-ufo-research Edited February 4, 2020 by Still Waters Source link added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would tend to think that she's who she says she is. I once applied for a similar sort of job as she has with Garcia & Associates. The job description included making assessments of sites (cultural material) for companies that were going to do construction on an area. And archaeology (academically) is a subdiscipline of anthropology. So she could have been on company sanctioned digs... appears that she's probably not a shovelbum type but a field camp/museum-type specialist in art and pottery. Mind you, this doesn't preclude her from delving deeply into woo. But she will have some sort of valid background in something involving art and archaeology (pottery of a particular North American group, for instance.) Also the book she coauthored is valid (and good, I imagine.) So she knows quite a bit about anatomy (as seen in skeletal remains somewhere.)

If the various owners of Skinwalker Ranch didn't want to draw attention to it, then they wouldn't have published numerous books and documentaries about the place. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a tiled room, with high low ceilings and can lights, and they probably added a string of green rope lights under the desk for a night light, is my guess, might be the only room in the house to set something like that up in, it's a nice system and set up from what I can see from the photo.

stereologist Posted February 4, 2020 #18 Share Posted February 4, 2020 The Skinwalker ranch was once owned by Bigelow. He put the NIDS team there which is largely over at the TTSA now. They were according to the people stationed there bored with nothing to do. There are plenty of stories but nothing ever came of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Institute_for_Discovery_Science http://skinwalkerranch.org/rank.html http://obscurantist.com/oma/national-institute-for-discovery-science/ http://www.oocities.org/area51/rampart/2271/ Quote I learned that the real question is not what stunning information NIDS is hiding, but how a research organization could have such a poor track record of accomplishment over such an extended period of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varelse Posted February 5, 2020 #20 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Some crazy documentary I saw on one of my streaming channels claimed the Govt had actually taken over the ranch, constructed a huge gate and fence around the place..And the owners are really govt employees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereologist Posted February 5, 2020 #21 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Skin Walker ranch has turned out to be a dud. For those not looking into this, the ranch is only one of several places out West claiming some sort of magical menagerie happening in the area. Why have a BF, when you can also have UFOs, dogmen, cryptos, portals, time travelers, energy vortices, RV, blah blah blah as well? NIDS went out there and according to some of the people that were there they had nothing to do. They end up collecting a paycheck and sit around doing nothing. It turned out to be a waste of time and NIDS went away. All they did was compile a list of ghost stories. http://www.aliendave.com/UUFOH_TheRanch.html Quote NIDS after buying the Sherman ranch, where it seems the activity is concentrated, installed video cameras and other sensitive monitoring equipment, built new fencing and constructed observation posts manned with trained observers, in hopes of collecting evidence for scientific study. But to this day NIDS says publicly, that none of the phenomenon occurring there has been recorded, even though the NIDS scientists have seen the balls of light, unknown creatures and UFOs, and mutilated animals. It's the same old tired story that is incompetence or sloth or indifference that is spun as science doesn't work there. That is such a lame excuse.

stereologist Posted February 5, 2020 #25 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Just to let people know what a skinwalker is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin-walker Quote In Navajo culture, a skin-walker (Navajo: yee naaldlooshii) is a type of harmful witch who has the ability to turn into, possess, or disguise themselves as an animal.
