NARRATOR: Tonight on "Beyond Skinwalker Ranch"...
The Skinwalker is a shapeshifter.
They sacrifice somebody in their family
that's very, very dear.
When you say sacrifice, you-- you mean kill them?
Kill them. Yes.
If you go up there, you'll never come back down.
Whoa!
This phenomenon can be deadly.
-What was that? -What was that?
I'm telling you guys, it's here.
It's definitely here.
♪
For years, scientists have been working
to reveal the secrets of Skinwalker Ranch.
But is it possible that the clues to unlock the mystery
are located beyond the borders of this hub of high strangeness?
-Now... -Whoa.
...an ex-CIA agent and a veteran journalist
have been recruited by the Skinwalker team
to go on a high-stakes mission across America.
Look at all this activity that's happened.
-That's unbelievable. -Oh, my gosh.
Look at that. Look at that, look at that, look at that.
The goal--uncover evidence that may finally expose the truth.
-What is that thing? -It's getting more intense.
Ever seen anything like this before?
No.
♪
This is just the beginning.
♪♪
Gentlemen, it's great to have you back on the ranch.
I know Erik and I can't wait for you to tell us
what you've got today.
Well, I think this one has-- has a particularly
kind of a special tie-in to Skinwalker
'cause we are going to, really, the heart of Skinwalker country.
Now, you guys know Jon Dover? Oh, yes, very well.
Been a friend of your investigations here before.
So, you know, Jon's a retired Navajo ranger
and has been doing investigations
on Navajo Nation for years.
He and his partner Stan-- they really were
sort of the real life "X-Files" squad out there,
running down all kinds of reports of Skinwalkers,
really anything paranormal, unusual.
Now, by Navajo Nation, you're talking
about geographically, the Navajo Nation, right?
-Yes, sir. -Okay.
So, I've got up on the screen here,
Navajo Nation from a bird's-eye view.
Now, this place is massive.
It's the size of Connecticut in terms of square miles.
And Jon and Stan have
actually researched phenomenon all across the nation
in their time as rangers.
The idea is to go to Navajo Nation,
pair up with Stan and Jon,
and then get firsthand experience from them.
What did they research?
What data were they able to collect?
We also are hoping to shed some more light
onto the question of Skinwalkers.
The topic of Skinwalkers
is extremely taboo on all of Navajo Nation.
It is not common to talk about them.
It is not common to say the word.
And saying the word carries its own kind of connotation
among the local people.
It's certainly taken from the purview
of being a curse, right?
I--you-- I've heard it said that--
that mention of the Skinwalker is like an invocation.
You can actually bring the Skinwalker into your space
by talking about that subject.
Yeah, the whole topic of the Skinwalker
is what has me really excited about this investigation.
We're going into the belly of the beast
where this myth-curse-legend started,
and we're going with an eye towards data and science.
-Yeah. -What can we actually collect?
What can we record, what can we observe
that lets us bring information
back to Skinwalker Ranch and hopefully advance
some of what you're seeing and researching here?
That's absolutely fascinating,
I think--I think it's absolutely necessary.
That's really valuable to our investigation
here on the ranch.
Hey, if you guys can come back with more data
that we can look at into that, that would be awesome.
That's the goal.
All right, well, we'll see what we find.
♪
Just a second ago,
we were in bright sunshine, and the road was clear,
and now we've got snowstorm blowing in over here.
Looks like we're driving right into one.
It's got multiple microclimates inside the Navajo Nation.
That's right.
I'm super excited, man, because
every legend that we've ever heard about Skinwalkers
starts with the Skinwalker curse,
and this is where that Skinwalker curse
is said to have started. -This is the opportunity
to really get to the heart of this story.
What is the origin of the Skinwalker?
-What are its powers? -Yeah.
And--And how much can we measure?
What data can we collect?
Yeah, one of the things that I think really excites me the most
is the access that we've got here
and the people who have agreed to speak to us,
because this is not something
that the Navajo take lightly at all.
Yeah. To have two outsiders like you and me
come in as investigators and work side by side
with Navajo-licensed and badged law enforcement...
-Right. -...like Stan and Jon
is really unprecedented. -Yeah.
And we have eyewitnesses and interviews lined up
with people who are going to
openly share their Skinwalker story--
story they can't even tell their neighbor...
Right. -...for fear of some kind
of social shame or worse.
Yeah, we're gonna have to be ready kind of for anything.
To learn more about the Skinwalker phenomena
occurring in Navajo Nation,
Andy and Paul arrive at No Water Mesa
to speak with
Navajo Rangers Jon Dover and Stan Milford.
-How did you get involved... -Yeah.
...in doing investigations on phenomenon
and high strangeness reports?
The people that are experiencing these different phenomena,
they're traumatized a lot of times,
and they don't have anybody to turn to.
The chief ranger-- he called us all in
and basically said that, "People are asking for help,
and you're gonna provide help.
You're gonna go out there,
you're gonna listen to what they have to say.
From now on, when you deal with these kind of cases
involving the supernatural or the paranormal,
you're going to investigate it as you would any other case."
The chief turns to Jon and I and says,
"And you two are gonna be the ones that are gonna
lead the investigations."
One of the things that we're really interested
in learning about here
is the history of Skinwalker activity.
Can you tell us a little bit about
what the Navajos believe a Skinwalker is?
JON: The Skinwalker is a shapeshifter.
It's somebody who's offered themselves, so to speak,
and they sacrifice somebody in their family
that's very, very dear,
very loved to them in order to attain this power.
When you say sacrifice, you-- you mean kill them?
-Kill them, yes. -Wow.
When this happens,
then they're brought in to a group of people,
and they're taught how to do this shapeshifting.
They'll use the skins of animals.
They can change into any animal out there
that they have the skin of.
Once they do, they're able to run at incredible speeds.
So, regular people as well as law enforcement
have seen these things personally?
Most people out here have seen them.
-Most people? -Most people?
Yeah, And have had some experience with them.
-Within their families. -Within their families.
-Wow. -But they don't talk about it.
The only thing that's different with us
is we've investigated these cases,
and we're not afraid to talk about it.
This is exactly what we need,
'cause we're here to gather data.
You know, we're here to look for evidence.
We're--We're here to try to put some facts to some
of these stories... -Yeah.
These things that, you know, happen
throughout this region that seem connected
to what we've seen at Skinwalker Ranch.
You know, I just--I think you guys are gonna be
the perfect guides for us to--
to get into this part of our-- our investigation.
While Paul heads off with Jon and Stan
on a ride-along to learn more
about Navajo Nation's Skinwalkers,
Andy is meeting with local medicine man Art Hardy
outside his former residence at the base of Satan's Butte,
an area rumored to be a hotspot of Skinwalker activity.
What is this property here?
This is a place that I used to live in years and years ago,
back in 1992, I would say.
That is, uh, where it takes a dark turn.
The first encounter that I've had with a Skinwalker.
You had an encounter here with a Skinwalker?
Right. I-I caught one. I caught one.
You caught one? I've got to hear this story.
I was about 17 years old. I'm all home alone.
It's probably like 8 or 9:00 at night.
I keep seeing something moving around the window,
and that window particularly.
♪
I go outside, turn the corner.
Bam. Me to you, he's standing right there.
-Just this far away. -Right.
And I turn on a flashlight,
and I see this thing just standing there.
And I catch him right off guard, and it startles him.
He actually jumps. He...
What does he look like?
There he is standing there with a horsehead.
It turns into a human body. Right?
And it's got paint and all kinds of stuff all over it.
But I just specifically remember the horsehead
being attached to this guy,
and he--he slowly turns towards me,
and, uh, we just stand there.
When he starts to run, it sounds like a horse.
Exactly like a horse.
I know he has hooves.
You know, it's got the whole clucking going on.
I mean, this is very creepy.
There are stories in this area that talk about a trail
that exists right along this mesa.
And this trail is what they use to travel on.
One of the things I'd like to do while we're here, then,
I want to get a sense of what
the energy baseline is in this area.
-Sure. Sounds good to me. -Yeah. Let's take a look.
♪
[beeping]
There's certainly something about
the radiation levels here that are elevated.
You see how we're pushing that 1,000 counts per minute?
We should be seeing closer to 200 or 400 counts,
not 1,000 counts. You can--
Look at that. It's already up to 1.4.
♪
These levels are some of the highest that we've seen
in any of our investigations so far.
♪
And I don't think that it's a coincidence
that you have a suspected trail of Skinwalker right here.
2.2, 2.4 holding and it's cons--
-Look. Did you see that?! -Whoa.
Did you see that spike to 5,000 CPM?
-I saw it. -What is this?
A lot of these rocks came from Satan's Butte.
These rocks came from the butte just over there?
Right.
That could very well explain why it's got
such an elevated reading.
This is all one consistent source.
I absolutely want to see what the similarities are
between this building and that butte.
-Let's go. -Let's do that.
♪
As Andy and Art head over to Satan's Butte,
Paul is on a ride-along with Jon and Stan,
learning more about the Skinwalkers
in Navajo Nation.
So, guys, when we talk about Skinwalkers,
it sounds like we're talking about a couple things, uh,
some kind of a human who has been initiated
into this dark magic, who has now some kinds of powers, right?
They shapeshift?
-Right. -And what--what else?
What--What are these things capable of?
They can travel very fast.
They're known to keep up with cars at highway speeds
and, you know, bang on the side of your car as you're driving.
-Running like an animal? -Running, uh, on two feet,
but as an animal.
This is all so sort of unbelievable,
but, you know, you said this has been reported
for y-- well, really forever.
I spoke to another police officer.
This officer ran into two of them,
And as he would chase one, it would just, in a flash,
zip away, and it would be standing on the hill.
And he says that as he ran after it,
the other one would try to get to his vehicle
and take a bit of the decal,
you know, scrape it off and take it with them,
probably to-- to render a curse on it later.
And he would chase the other one,
and it would zip off faster than--than the eye could see.
It was just like you sped up a film in fast motion.
He says this went on for a little while
until he finally drew his weapon,
and he was ready to shoot at them, and they both left.
I'm a skeptic, but when I'm sitting next to someone
who is so informed and-- and passing that on to me
in such a calm and authoritative way,
you can't just write off thousands of years
of human experience just because you're a skeptic.
♪♪
Hard to believe this place is called Satan's Butte.
What is the history of this place?
Where did that name come from?
So, there are things here on this mesa
that scare most folks.
There is a location on this mesa
that has a very dark value to it.
This is a dark place.
There's dark things that happen on there,
and that's where they named it Satan's Butte.
This is a place of evil. This is where the Devil resides.
♪
The taboo entity that we're talking about here
is a Skinwalker.
Right.
Andy is at the base of Satan's Butte
with local Navajo medicine man Art Hardy,
who grew up next to this mesa
that he believes is a hotspot for Skinwalkers.
How did these Skinwalkers connect with the Satan's Butte
where we're standing right now?
There is an old cave.
It's caved in now.
Um, that's where they would congregate.
When we were kids, we were told, you know, "Don't go over there.
Don't hang around there.
If you go up there, you'll never come back down."
Is it safe? Is it safe for us to go explore?
-Is it safe? -You know, during the day,
there's--there's no problem. It's--It's at night.
That's usually when you have more problems,
more--more encounters.
For their next plan of attack,
the team regroups at the base of Satan's Butte
so they can investigate an area at the top
where it's said that Skinwalkers gather.
Hey, welcome to Satan's Butte, man.
-Paul. -My name is Art.
-Art, nice to meet you. -Good to meet you, gentlemen.
♪♪
So, believe it or not, this area here
is on the same longitude that Skinwalker Ranch is.
ANDY: That's incredibly coincidental,
if it's a coincidence at all.
We've also had a lot of reports of Skinwalkers up here.
I mean, Art's told me stories
about encounters with Skinwalkers,
and it does not sound like an easy experience.
It sounds like an upsetting and worrisome experience.
Well, these things can actually kill you pretty easily.
Uh, they can poison you.
There's--There's a lot of different ways they can do it,
and, uh, so we tend to treat it very seriously out here.
The nature of the Skinwalker is
coming from the use of witchcraft.
-Mm-hmm. -And that's uniquely found
within all of these different Indian tribes.
♪
The Skinwalkers are said to be able to travel vast distances
by sliding into these, uh, dimensional gates and jumping,
almost like a wormhole effect, and come out again.
Would--Would you guys say, I mean, this is a hotspot?
Satan's Butte is as a hotspot of this activity?
-Oh, yeah, definitely. -Definitely.
That's right.
So, Andy, why don't we start? Why don't we start here?
-I agree. -Good a place as any.
Okay, Paul, I'm going to start with a spectrum analyzer
so we can get a sense of what might be happening around us
that we can't see.

What are you seeing there? Anything?
Just now starting to scan the spectrum.
-Okay. -Do you hear the voice?
Look at this. Oh, now look at this,
-I was gonna say, do you hear-- -Look at this, look at this.
-Did you hear that? -I heard it.
Look at this. We have a huge spike at 1.5 gigahertz
in this area.
-PAUL: Really? -ANDY: That's strange.
About 200 yards back, I began getting a sense
of us being watched, um...
And he and I, just a few moments ago, heard voices.
-Yeah. -Just now.
What do you guys make of that? What do--I mean...
What should we do?
I heard it coming from that direction.
-Up over the ridge? -Uh, it sounded like it.
I can't help but connect this activity with this location
and the fact that you just heard voices in the same place.

We're gonna start losing daylight.
Are you guys comfortable sitting up with us

looking for Skinwalkers?
We're looking for scientific data here.
Mm.
We're not hunting for Skinwalkers,
because if we do, we'll find them, or they'll find us.

but now it's washed out in the past 30 years.
So, there's no longer a cave, but there's remnants of it,

-Did you hear that, Andy? -I hear all sorts of things.
You didn't hear the, like, the yell over here?
No, I didn't hear a yell.
[wind whistling]
Andy, what are you guys seeing over there?
Hey, Paul, this is Art.
We got, uh, some kind of yelling going on back here,
some strange noises.
We got Andy on the, uh, night vision,
checking through with the IR to see if there's any kind
of visual that he can make out.
ANDY: I can't make sense of any of it.
And that's what they do.
And I'm not really comfortable
being too far away from Paul 'cause he's...
-Yeah, same. -...alone, which--
Let's get back over there and see.
I heard that. I heard that. Sure.
ANDY: That was another kind of... like a holler or yell.
♪♪
That's where--Let's make our way back to Paul for sure.
♪♪
I honestly feel like we're hearing
some sort of call, like a holler or a yell,
baiting us to go further.
Given everything we've seen and heard tonight,
do you think that there's
really, right now, a Skinwalker here with us?
Yes, I do. I do believe that.
It's not just the intuition that's telling me that,
but it's all the physical evidence
that's been presented around us that says yes.
There's an oppressive feeling here.
I mean, you walk into it, it hits you
just like a solid object, this negative energy.
Yeah, I've had kind of a pit in my stomach
up here the whole time.
-Right. -It just--It doesn't feel good.
Well, as we acknowledge it,
all the noises have somewhat dissipated now.
You don't hear anything else now.
It's pretty--pretty quiet.
Maybe we should pack up while it's quiet.
Well, Paul and Andy... [sighs]
I'm excited to find out what you've learned
in your adventures on the Navajo Nation.
Well, buckle up, 'cause we had a pretty wild ride out there.
"Adventure" is the exact right word to use.
-Really? -Yeah. Yeah.
-Wow. -So as soon as we land
in Navajo Nation, we had a chance to meet
with Jon and Stan and get our bearings
on both their background
and where they wanted us to start our current investigation.
So, we were introduced to a local medicine man,
a community leader by the name of Art Hardy,
and he took me to a place called Satan's Butte.
And this is just one geographic location
in the larger Navajo Nation.
Now, we went here specifically looking to kind of dig into
and put data around the Skinwalker legend,
and it seems like it centers here on Satan's Butte.
Really?
The way they described it to us, that this is
almost a jumping off point where there was
congregations of multiple Skinwalkers.
[keyboard clicks]
So, we decided to launch a night investigation
up onto Satan's Butte itself,
actually go to the place where nobody goes.
Fantastic.
Fortune favors the bold, man, absolutely.
ANDY: So, we had a spectrum analyzer
that gave us both the ability to observe the spectrum
and then also tune into the spectrum and listen in.
Sure. Mm-hmm.
Well, we got some strange activity over here, man.
We've got a really active spectrum
all at 900 megahertz.
Let's see what happens when we go up
and cross the boundary.
You got a comb function that's all the way across.
-That's all these spikes. -Mm.
The reason why it's called a comb function--
it looks like the teeth of a comb, right?
And it's spread across the frequency there.
What's generating that?
That's a lot of energy. That's very interesting.
So, one element of the equation here
were the weather conditions.
We had scheduled everything because the weather
was supposed to be calm with clear skies
and a great nighttime investigation setup.
As we set up for this experiment,
the weather got rapidly worse and worse.
As you'll see, we just started getting
flat out concerned for our safety.
The reason you see the shake in the camera
is because our cameramen were being blown off.
-Whoa. Look at that. -Yeah.
-Wow. -Yeah, that got a reaction.
Whatever's here doesn't want us doing this.
I think it's time to call it.
You could see it on him. He was visibly shaken,
and he decided that it wasn't a good place to be.
Yeah.
And then we were invited to participate
in an active Navajo Nation investigation
into a current Skinwalker situation.
-Wow. -We actually had an opportunity
to speak with the woman involved,
and what she described is almost an infestation
over many, many years at their home
that had essentially driven them out of the home.
The entire family had abandoned their home.
What we had now was an opportunity
to go and do an investigation at the home.
So, Paul and I are on site
looking to collect hard data with hosts,
with guides there with us, who were more in tune--
seemed more in tune with the environment than we were.
-[gasps] -[wind whistling]
-I don't-- -Shh!
So, we started hearing sounds. At first, some sounds
were being reported that Paul and I couldn't hear.
Yep.
And then we got some kind of squeal
that was off in the distance that we all very clearly heard.
The power and consistency of this thermal anomaly...
[howl in distance]
-What was that? -What was that?
♪♪
-[keyboard clicks] -And the preponderance
of activity convinced Art, our medicine man,
that a Skinwalker was present.
And our guides started to see more and more activity.
They started seeing shadowy figures
off of mesas that were near the house,
and they just-- they started warning us
of activity all around us.
I like the fact that you're-- you're taking these side notes,
you know, the commentary coming from those
who have been your guides. Whatever they're picking on,
this may be what we're here to understand.
It may be more important data, that notetaking that you did,
than any of the measurements you took
with the scientific instruments,
or at least the correlation of the two.
We have scientific instrument data and experience data.
So, Jon actually told us he has an update
from our investigation when we were in the field with him,
and I would love to pull him up right now.
-Yeah. -Right now.
-Yeah. -Let's do it, yeah.
-Hey, it's good to see you guys. -Hey, Jon.
Hey, Jon. Great to see you.
So, Jon, we understand there's a--
there's an update that you have for us, sir.
Uh, yes, there is.
I ran into the young lady, and she gave me an update
on what was going on with that case
out at the house in the middle of nowhere.
She rushed up to me. She was very, very happy,
and she wanted me to know
and wanted everybody there to know
that as a result of the investigation,
the attacks have gone away on her personally and her family.
-Wow. -It shined a light
on Skinwalker activity.
They don't want that light shone on them,
and there are no more occurrences.
So, this investigation revealed that there was actually
phenomena taking place that was affecting the family.
And as a result of the investigation,
the government with the Navajo Nation,
has offered to assign her a new home site lease.
-Wow. -Oh, wow.
This is unprecedented.
-Wow. -That's fascinating.
-Wow. -Jon, that's amazing news.
-Yeah. -We helped resolve this, maybe,
or at least move--made life better for someone, right?
Yeah, exactly.
It is clear that this is being taken seriously.
Yeah.
Like, we created something that...
-Right. -...the government is seeing
as evidence, and that evidence
is being used to advance a case right there in Navajo Nation.
It makes you feel good when you find out that, uh,
you did something good.
-Yeah. -Thank you, Jon.
-Thanks, Jon. -Oh, yeah.
-We'll see you later, Jon. -Thanks you, Jon.
-Thanks a lot. -See you, guys.
-All right. -I find that really interesting.
I wasn't really expecting anything like that.
Yeah. The fact that it's actionable or deemed actionable
by the tribe, right, the Navajo Nation...
-A governing body. -...that says a lot to me,
and I applaud you guys for doing this--this particular excursion.
This has been very eye-opening and fantastic.
-Yeah. -Absolutely.
What you guys are doing is benefiting what we're doing,
and what we're doing is informing what you need to do.
Yeah. What we'll do next. This is a match made in heaven.
[laughs] Together we're stronger.
-It's a good way to put it. -Thanks, guys.
Thank you so much.
