my family and I live in Arizona and we
occasionally visit our Navajo family in
Albuquerque New Mexico
we left early to get there by noon or
less it is a very long and boring trip
there but we get there before noon and
we have time to mess around and talk
with our extended family and we kids
start to play around till the evening
starts to show the house is too small
for everyone to fit and sleep in some of
the kids have to sleep in the trailer
and truck camper but two of my cousins
and I had the amazing luck of sleeping
in the old slightly torn ten
[Music]
we are well asleep at this point and for
some unknown reason I wake up of course
I'm still tired and rubbing my eyes
while yawning meaning I wasn't well
aware of my surroundings once I finish
rubbing my eyes I look straight at the
entrance of the tent and see a figure
eliminated by the back porch light
standing in front of the tent at first I
was scared but thought it was my other
cousins just messing with us as this
person was still standing outside our
tent looking at us I turned to one of my
older cousins who was two years older
than me to wake him up and tell him that
someone was standing outside of our tent
he tries to brush me off but I persist
and he turns to me and asks me what I
wanted I tell him to look at the
entrance of the tent and he does
I've never seen someone go from the
brink of sleep to sheer panic and
alertness in their eyes that fast before
he looks at me with this panicked face
and tells me to be quiet he whispers to
me that it's a skinwalker and that we
need to be quiet again
we lay there for the longest time in
from my memory it was at least an hour
or more we were just about to go back to
sleep because it hadn't done anything
then it started to move around the tent
[Music]
remember when I said this was an old
tent yeah it had some holes in it one of
the holes was the size of a quarter and
I decided to be brave as it continues to
walk around the tent a fourth time I
slowly crawled towards the hole and try
to take a look as I did this my cousin
told me to get back to the bed or it'll
hurt us of course as a kid I ignored the
warning I'm at the quarter-sized hole
and looking out to see whatever it was
it comes around the hole and what I saw
was bone-chilling
I taped back and hide under my sleeping
bag while my cousin does the same this
thing decided to stop moving and start
looking at us again I hid under the
covers and spent every ounce of energy
being scared
[Music]
and then I finally fell asleep
[Music]
I woke up early maybe around 5:00 and I
decided to look around the tent to see
if there was anything there
I see footprints bear footprints that
send shivers throughout my body
I saw the footprints move around the
tent this hit me hard because I was now
realizing it wasn't a dream
as I further investigate the footprints
I noticed that it went off track it went
off to the rocky hills nearby where we
were staying at I follow the track to
the hills about a football field away
from the house as I continued to follow
the tracks something strange and scary
happens it goes from two footprints
walking for a while some footprints and
handprints in the dirt starting to form
I found that kind of strange because no
person would do that out here as I
followed the tracks further into the
Hills the hands and feet started to get
smaller and smaller it then subtly
changed into coyote paw prints that is
when I stopped and turned back home
first walking fast and onto a full-on
run when I got back i sat down on the
back porch for a while and thought about
telling my family but I didn't think
that they would believe me
in the end I didn't tell anyone even the
cousin I woke up in the middle of the
night
well that's my story I urge you guys to
not go into the Navajo reservation to go
looking for them
you will bite off more than you can chew
we my people take these beings very
seriously and do our best to not talk
about them even though I broke this code
I just thought to warn you guys about
them whoever is listening are the first
people to hear this story
I had a few more stories to tell but
this is by far the scariest one I had
[Music]
hey everyone hope you enjoyed the video
I know I have a lot to address there's a
time and place for that and the end of a
video like this isn't it
I'll be leaving a pinned comment for
those who are curious anyways I wanted
to thank axe man for animating this
video for me
animators really do have it hard on
YouTube especially getting off the
ground with their work and they truly
deserve as much exposure as they can get
this video took months of work for him
to make so if you appreciated this video
and you want to see animation similar to
this one you should head over to his
channel and subscribe to him it would
mean a lot to me and he truly deserves
it and it doesn't hurt to say something
nice if you genuinely really liked it
I'll leave a card on screen and a link
in the description to his channel once
again there's info in the pen comment
for those curious on things going on
personally with me but I will be
explaining more in the future but it'll
be in a more optimal setting thank you
for watching I genuinely appreciate and
love you guys despite how I sound the
support on the tweets and in general was
unreal and I'll have a story video for
you all in the near future I apologize
if I sound more dead than I usually do
but it's just gonna be like that for a
little while I really do mean what I'm
saying though stay safe and have an
awesome day
[Music]
you
