Hello everyone whats happening whats gucci!
Hope youre having an awesome day wherever and whenever youre watching this!
Im your host Ayman Hasan and welcome back to another video here at most amazing top
10.
Okay so a bit of backstory for anyone that might not know, a skin walker is a type of
witch in Navajo culture that has the power to possess, transform or disguise themselves
as animals.
A lot of the stories told to Navajo kids about skinwalkers are quite dramatic they usually
end up in either the skinwalker dying or the Navajo.
Theyre meant to represent the complete opposite of Navajo (nava-hoe) cultural values.
So with that in mind, this is the Top 10 Scary Skinwalker Stories.
Starting us off with number 10 are the Ash Bullets.
This ones from a native Navajo who was coming back from the Navajo Nation Fair with his
family and grandmother.
The conversation somehow got onto Skinwalkers but his grandma shut it down pretty quickly.
That night as he was just in bed he heard something moving outside.
Thinking it was a stray dog or something he didnt think much of it but then he heard the
loudest distorted scream, shat himself and then ran downstairs and woke up his grandma.
They looked outside the window and saw this coyote thing limping towards the door, dragging
his right leg as he did.
It started scratching at the door and moaning and all his parents could do was shout words
in Navajo at it telling its it wasnt welcome there.
At this point everyone in the house was awake and panicked but his granddad knew exactly
what to do.
He went and got a handgun from a drawer, and a bag of ashes idk where he got the bag of
ashes from but he did and he coated the bullets in it and loaded the gun.
He went to the door shouting Navajo and then opened the door and fired twice but the thing
escaped unscathed.
His grandad turned around and said thats the fastest one ive ever seen.
So hes a pro veteran at this clearly.
It was about 4am by the time everyone calmed down and the family went to a medicine man
the next day to be blessed against the skinwalker.
Coming in at number 9 is The Chase.
So this ones from a cop called J.G.
Bucklin, he recalled how he was once working the night shift at a hotel in New Mexico.
He was patrolling the hotel in his car when he decided to take a nap, a bit after 2am
something hit the bottom of his car so hard it actually swayed.
Mind you this was a 1978 Thunderbird so it was a big heavy car its not easy to make it
move.
JG woke up and drove forward and saw there was a dog sort of thing sitting where his
car had been.
But as he started looking at it he felt like he was drowning in this dark energy and that
this thing was pure evil.
The face of the dog had human features mostly the eyes, it didnt have a snout nose that
bit also looked more human and it wasnt black tipped like a dogs.
Sizewise it was slightly bigger than an adult German Shepard which are pretty big anyway.
With this in mind JG decided to hit the dog with his car but it ran off the property but
then back on so he started driving after it.
It made its way into a third parking lot and then into a weedy area and at this point JG
was chasing it on foot with his gun.
It came up and threw him aside like he was made of air and ran away.
He ran into the weedy area on 4 legs and exited on two.
The dog was now a nude man that was screaming as it left and after that encounter JG had
a lot of bad luck, health problems etc after this so he actually went toe a shaman to get
cleansed.
At number 8 we have The Lookalikes.
This ones from redditor jibbyjam1 who was in New Mexico exploring some old Spanish ruins
with friends.
While they were at one of the sites at night they suddenly heard an angry ear piercing
blood curdling scream which prompted them to want to get the hell out of there.
They went back to their camp and a while later the user went for a piss about 300m from the
camp and this is where things got weird.
He remembered seeing 2 dust devils coming towards him but when he turned around it was
just two of his friends who were motioning him to follow them.
Which he did almost like he was being sucked into it.
He followed his friends for like 10/15 minutes but as he was snapping back to reality he
realised they werent his friends at all.
His friends had bright red hair, and these two peoples faces were identical to his friends’
but they both had cat eyes and were brunette.
He stopped in his tracks and they turned to look at him as if they were gonna kill him
on the spot.
He ran in full sprint back to the camp where his friends hadnt even realised he was gone,
great friends btw, he told them what happened and they packed the hell up and drove back
to Albuquerque.
Filling our number 7 slot is The Delivery Trip.
This ones from reddit user Neptune420 whos dad ran a small delivery service in Farmington
New Mexico.
One day they got a delivery for Window Rock Arizona on the Navajo reservation and the
dad decided to take his Navajo friend Travis and his girlfriend with him as they wanted
to see some family there.
So they took two separate trucks and had walkie talkies with them so they could communicate
between vehicles.
The trip and delivery go fine they have a great day there but on their way back was
when things took a turn for the worst.
Theyre driving towards a hill and as they crest it the dad sees what he thinks is a
giant dog sitting on its haunches in the middle of the road facing away from them.
He walkies his friend Travis in the other car asking if he sees the dog to which Travis
replied That is not a dog!
Speed up right now and hit it!
Hysterically he went on and said hit it.
Jj you have to hit it please please hit that thing rght now’.
So the dad speeds up and as they get closer they see the dogs matted hair seems to have
dried blood all over it and just before they hit it it turned around to reveal that it
had a face.
The face was a hybrid between a bear and human but it looked distorted and in pain and as
soon as they hit it it screamed like it was drowning and then ran into the field nearby.
They saw a cop a little while later and Travis made them pull over was completely on edge
when he told the officer that they just saw a skinwalker a few miles back and it had been
following us.
The officer who was Navajo himself turned white stammered something unintelligible and
then got in his car and left.
But what i took away from this story is the fact the dad no questions asked just hit this
thing.
Like he didnt even question Travis like oh why should i hit that dog?
He was just 0-100 fast and furious real quick.
Now at number 6 is the Walking Coyote.
This ones from redditor Endulos who said during the early 80s her sister was on the way back
from a friends at night when her car broke down.
Thankfully she broke down in front of a family friends house so she went in and called her
dad and he came to get her.
They were driving back at about 10pm and were passing a heavily wooded area when out of
nowhere they hear an incredibly loud inhuman scream.
The users dad hit the brakes just in tim to see a 6 ft tall coyote with a black and white
striped tail walking on just 2 legs.
Thankfully i dont think the sister or dad were its true targets because it disappeared
quickly after that but then they heard the same scream again only 10 times louder this
time.
This time the dad didnt brake, he accelerated out of that situation ASAP.
Coming in at number 5 is The Running Man.
This ones from Brent Swancer and funnily enough it also took place near Window Rock Arizona.
He was driving on the highway at night when he saw what seemed to be a large coyote sitting
in the middle of the road.
He slowed down so he wouldnt hit it unlike that other users dad and he found that the
coyote wasnt scared of the car at all.
He didnt even move a muscle when Brent honked at him so he decided to just save himself
the trouble and drive around him.
As he drove away his dad turned to him and went would you look at that and he was referring
to the coyote who was now chasing behind the car.
He then matched the speed of the car running right alongside it and then out of nowhere
the coyote becomes a naked running man.
Still keeping pace with the car mind you.
The man started slapping the car while having the creepiest grin on his face.
At this point theyre going like 50 miles per hour but hes still there.
To end his pursuit the man let out a loud wail and then swerved away.
Either way Brent and his dad were terrified, and i wouldve been too but for some reason
i really cant shake the image that this naked man looked like the guy who plays Aqua Man
idk why.
At number 4 is The Party.
This ones from redditor Trey_Lightning who said that anytime his mum would take him to
her hometown on the reservation shed always tell him a skinwalker story.
This particular one was told to him by his aunt.
Back in the day his aunt and her friends used to party a lot and one day they got in a van,
drove out to the boondocks and just drank.
A bit after sunset everyone was laughing and in good spirits when they heard what sounded
like rocks being thrown at the van.
The sound stopped but then an even bigger sound followed and they quickly realised someone
or something had jumped onto the roof of the van.
They lock all the doors and his aunt is in the drivers seat trying to start the engine
but obviously it doesnt start.
Like in every horror movie ever.
Such timely engine failure i swear.
But anyway the thing on the roof is still banging on on the van and then his aunt sees
a hang with long nails reach over the roof and start scratching the windshield.
Then it jumps off and walks up to her window and just stares at her.
And his poor little aunt at this point is just praying for her life but then after a
few minutes of panicking screaming and staring the thing leaves them and the van finally
starts miraculously bang on time and they leave.
Filling our number 3 slot is The White Powder.
This one comes from an anonymous Navajo woman living in Shiprock New Mexico.
She said during one of her visits home she heard her dogs relentlessly barking at something
outside and then she heard a loud thud above her on the roof.
Her sisters got quite scared but her parents assured her it was just a cat or dog and to
just go to sleep.
Parents need to stop telling us its just a cat or dog cus clearly as we’ve seen, it
is not.
But anyway the dogs were continually barking and running back and forth and then she heard
a metal pole hit one of the dogs and she knew it was a pole because her sister had put it
on the roof the day before.
She tried to get up but fell into a deep sleep and the last thing she heard were human footsteps
on the roof.
The next day there was nothing suspicious on the roof or around but her cousin did complain
about her head hurting and the next day she straight up died.
Just like that.
They brought a medicine man to conduct a ceremony and he said that two of you know what happened.
He went on to say it was a man in bear skin on the roof on the house, he was using a hummingbird
as a lookout and helper and he blew white powder on the womans cousin which is why she
died but he was also the reason everyone in the house fell into a deep sleep that night.
The ceremony went on, and the woman later found out the powder used is crushed human
bone taken from graveyards.
As if this story wasnt screwed up enough.
Now at number 2 is The Herd.
This ones also from redditor Navajo Joe which is quite fitting i guess, but when he was
a kid him and his uncle were on their way back from chopping and gathering firewood.
They were going slow on this dirtroad and Joe just had this feeling he was being watched
and he was about to look at out his window when his uncle shouted dont.
He then heard 3 taps on his window as his heart literally felt like it had stopped beating.
His uncle started praying and going faster and he thought all was okay but then the truck
dipped from the bed.
At this point his uncle just kept saying look at me dont turn away just look at me and he
heard the tapping again.
Joe was now crying as the truck dipped for the 2nd and 3rd time.
Finally his uncle gave a sigh of relief and said theyd both need prayers in the morning
so the evil will forget our faces.
When they got home, Joe went home but called his uncle a while later because he had had
a nightmare.
His uncle said he didnt see any faces just eyes like they were just lights on the road.
Joe asked him why he didnt just slam on the breaks when it was in the back and his uncle
replied saying because it wasnt alone.
When i read that the first time it legit gave me shivers.
And finally at number 1 is The Thing.
This ones also from Joe and he lived on the reservation when this story took place.
He was home with his 2 brothers and dogs one night when they started making a lot of noise
outside.
They ignored it dissmissing it, and eventually the dogs slept.
In the middle of the night Joe and his brother woke up because the barking started again.
He went outside and saw that one of the dogs was losing it near the truck.
When he looked there there was a really tall man there looking at the dog and then kicking
it.
When it looked up it had a pure white face, a pure black smile and red burning eyes.
It came to him and towered over him and all Joe could see was a deep red.
Things are not going well at this point.
His brother finally came out of the house not knowing what was going on and at this
stage the things hands were inches away from Joes head.
From what he could recall its skin was black and it smelled like a bloated dead animal,
and he was just stood there unable to move or speak.
The skinwalker let him be and went for his brother which is what finally broke Joe out
of this trance and made him really angry.
He started baring his teeth at it and growling in a way he didnt even know he could do.
He kept roaring at it while it smiled back him but his smile faded the angrier Joe got
and then he ran away into the night.
And thats it for todays video guys!
Skinwalkers are clearly quite a common thing to encounter as a Navajo these stories sound
like the stuff of nightmares not dreams my friends.
Let me know in the comments below if you yourself have ever encountered a skinwalker i hope
not, but do let me know and also lemme know which story scared you the most.
As always im your host Ayman Hasan and ill see you next time.
