You’ve gotta know that with a name like “Skinwalker Ranch” bad things are bound to happen. And this tale is as creepy as it sounds. And, it’s as recent as 1994 although where exactly Skinwalker Ranch is is exactly is unknown.
It was in 1994 that a farmer bought a ranch for himself, his wife, and his two children. When they moved in everything including all the doors, cupboards, and windows had all been bolted shut. The farmer found at both ends of the house large iron stakes and heavy chains. From the markings on the land, the farmer also thought the previous owners must have had guard dogs settled there but he couldn’t be sure why.
The day that the family were moving their things into the house, they saw a large wolf out in the pasture in the back of the house. At first wary, the family remained where they were, waiting to see what the wolf would do. The wolf in turn, walked slowly towards them. As he got closer, he became very friendly and started nudging their hands so they could pet him. And they did. Having just been wandering out in the rain, the family recalled that while they were petting the wolf, he smelled of wet dog.
After a few minutes of befriending the family, the wolf made its way over to the cow corral and grabbed a calf by its neck. The wolf then proceeded to try and pull the calf through the rails of the corral. The farmer ran over to the wolf and started beating on its back to try and force it off the calf. But that proved useless quite quickly. The farmer then grabbed his rifle and shot at the wolf. But that also had no effect.
The farmer fired a second shot into the wolf. At that point, the wolf released the calf and stood looking at the family, unfazed. Not knowing what else to do, the farmer fired two more shots into the wolf who then staggered back a bit but still seemed to remain uninjured. Getting a step closer, and choosing a slightly larger gun, the farmer shot the wolf a final time at very close range. He knew this was enough ammo to take down an animal twice this size. This shot didn’t really injure the wolf any. Although a chunk of his hair and skin did end up flying off. The farmer shot one more time at which point, the wolf retreated back into the woods.
The farmer followed the wolf’s paw prints for some time before they seemed to virtually disappear into thin air. The farmer analyzed the hair and skin when he came back from trying to track the wolf and said that it smelled of rotting meat. Over the next two years, several other weird and scary things would happen.
The farmer’s wife said she saw a wolf once that was so large it stood as tall as the top of her car. She also claimed that this wolf was accompanied by a creature that looked like a dog but that she couldn’t be sure what it was. Another time, a visitor to the site was meditating when they noticed a “blurry” object running through the woods. The man who witnessed it said that he couldn’t be sure what it was but that it was very fast, covering 100 yards in mere seconds. He also said that as it approached, it gave a ferocious howl that could not be described as bear, but not as anything smaller either.
Where exactly is Skinwalker Ranch? I’m not sure, I couldn’t find an exact location in my research. But then again, maybe we’re all better off not knowing….

Very cool. Thanks. It sounded so mysterious, good to know it actually exists.
freaking cool.”Even standing on all four legs it was taller than a man.”i want to check out that Skinwalker Ranch sometime.was it given the name before or after the wolves?i wonder.
The Skinwalker Ranch is not even close to Saltlake City it is close to a small city called Altamont out in the Uinta Basin and a lot more has happend out there then just that. Read the book by Colm A. Kelleher, PhD. and George Knapp it will give you an idea of whats been happening out there for a long time over a 100 years

Yes I know what you meen. I love wolves there speed and cunning and there power. But it is interesting that the local vet was told by the goverment company that bought the place that if there were anymore mutalations turned in to him he was to call them and keep quite about it the storie ran in the local paper once and then nothing more was said about it in the paper
some native american tribes believed they were desended from wolves.skinwalkers turn into wolves but can turn into any animal to protect the tribe.in 5th grade we watched this video about this girl.she went into the forest and she found her grandfather doing an indian ceramony wolves were sitting around him.he then turned into a giant wolf himself,he was a skinwalker.the girl screamed and fainted.when she woke her grandfather told her what she saw,she never became a skinwalker herself.maybe only boys can turn into wolves.i’v never seen a woman skinwalker,have you?
Damnit where is it make up your mind ppl!

I’ve been to skinwalker ranch and I have to admit it is pretty freaky! At night all you herd were wolves or coytes howling all through the night nonstop. Some of you peeps that read my message might or might not belive what im about to say but when i was visiting my uncle at skinwalker ranch my uncle and i went outside cuz we herd a strange scream or howl. We don’t know how to describe it but we had to go to the police station cuz it was getting louder and closer. So me and my uncle got the keys to his truck and went to the police station. On our way we saw a strange old lady that look like a native american crossing the road. So my uncle stoped the car and asked her if she needed a ride to her house. but when she turned around she looked so scary cuz all around her mouth was coverd with blood and her teeth look like dog teeth. so my uncle started his car and took off. A few minutes later rite before we entered the police station we saw a strange looking creature rite infront of us and my uncle hit it with the car. When he got down to check what it was it disapeard and it wasn’t there. So yeah this is what happened to me at skinwalker ranch. and my uncle no longer lives there cuz someone or something broke into his ranch and my uncles body was never found. So who ever goes to skinwalker ranch look out for the monster.
never go to the ranch.never be temted.you go you die. if you even get there dont take it like a movie. i know enough about skinwalkers, to tell you they hate people, they are jeoules o`f what we have. listen to the warning beause i’ am telling the truth wiches do exist and they are they. if anythng is bette is to be wise, and to be wise is to survive.

Rumors that the Science department they they tested on animals, mice, cats and cows. It is also a place where alot of U.F.O sightings are seen. It’s still closed off till this day. It has been known as the ‘AREA 51 OF UTAH’.
