My visit to The Skinwalker Ranch, 2018

skunkape23, what makes you mention the granite/running water?

Just an observation.
Trying to figure it out.
Strange lights in the sky. Synchronicity. Cryptids.
They happen with some regularity in these places.

Well I wish them the best, you know I do. Anything reasonable to advance science.

But the old NIDS amateur hour tech won't do as we saw. I hope they do much better.

I want to see results! We all do.

I've always suspected that if true, then perhaps the very act of observing the skinwalker 'phenomenon' causes all sort of weird stuff to happen. Kinda like the double slit experiment, the act of observing the photon causes it to become a particle rather than wave. Sorry about the bad science I had a heavy night last night

This is 2018. There are many available technologies that can record what the human eye can't see.

I'll add this, the ranch is pretty much covered in sensors, every square meter.

I suspect this is not a proper approach to this thing. Cameras are likely capture anything of value.
It's all in your head, man.
Doesn't mean it's not real.

Been following this so far: Fascinating, much thanks for sharing. One of the places I never tire of hearing adventures about and from more than one side of interest(from skeptics to believers). Looking forward to more.

Can you give us your take on why Bigelow sold the ranch as sort of a background. What happened to all the anomalous data collected during Bigelow's ownership, who owns it and how much of it is accessible to the group you were with and the public in general?

a reply to: Springer

FLIR and EMF detectors?

Just as a guess of course, induced RFI experiences?

a reply to: Springer

The place does have a feeling of indescribable and internally moving grace about it combined with an equally indescribable feeling of just plain weirdness...

The "Graceful" feeling, bordering on peaceful, which was definitely there, I have no explanation for and it seems counter-intuitive and just plain strange.

Well... this "feeling" you experienced has me intrigued for sure. Even more so than capturing a blurry image of lights off in the distance or of some silhouette misty ghostly image that would be debated into the ground.

The "feeling" of grace and peacefulness... hmmm... something that works on the mind / emotions in a good way. If any of the historical accounts is true about the ranch could this "feeling" you describe be like a virus that attaches its self to the human brain as a way of invading ? The cover being peace and harmony and bliss ... so on so forth... Or does it open a door or portal in your mind and enable you or "it" to SEE ? Is it good or a prelude to bad or evil stuff hiding in the corners of your mind ? This is just my rambling thoughts on what you said...is all.

Maybe you just feel peaceful and rested that you have finally gotten onto the Ranch which you stated has been a quest of yours for such a long time... now that it is done... a feeling is associated with your accomplishment ?

Did others there with you also experience this "feeling" that you describe ?

Also... what is the gov't involvement in the ranch currently ?

I see mention of guards... are these private company guards employed by the current owners of the ranch ?

I am looking forward to the documentary... Thanks for Sharing

So, I've only heard the name. Exactly what is supposed to make this place noteworthy? I see a few nods at paranormal, is that all it's supposed to be -- haunted?

A little property history in the OP would have been appreciated. I might not give a rat's ass about purported paranormal junk, but the actual history of the property for those of us unfamiliar would have been a good start. Especially since this is supposed to be an advertising grab of a thread.

Not trying to be a dick, I'm just surprised at the lack any any meaningful info on the place.

Here's a brief synopsis from 2005.

....The last family to live on this spread lasted only 20 months. From the first day back in 1994, they were terrorized by an unseen intelligence that played mind games with them, shadowy figures inside their house, objects that moved on their own, disembodied voices and bad things happening to their animals beginning with cattle and bulls that disappeared and others that were carved up with surgical precision in broad daylight. A gigantic wolf that attacked one of their calves was tracked through the mud, but the tracks simply stopped as if the animal had evaporated into thin air. Three dogs were vaporized after while chasing blue orbs of light in a pasture.

In 1995, the ranch came to the attention of NIDS, the National Institute for Discovery Science based in Las Vegas. NIDS bought the property and began an unprecedented scientific study.

Given that there is little, if anything, in the way of hard proof of these events, after a decade of studies, then it's interesting how things are developing once again.

Folklore mostly , the same thing that makes Loch Ness an attractive target for monster hunters.

a reply to: Springer

Hey Springer.

I envy you.

Was it you also that got to that ufo mountain with the guy that claims to be able to recharge batteries with his hands?

Too bad you didn't get to experience anything paranormal at the Sherman's.

Could you, at the very least, tell us whether the movie shows any actual footage of paranormal activity at all?

Did you get to meet Bigelow?

Were there any big name stars there like Tom Cruise?

Just a thought here.

Now let's say the skinwalker "folk" ("phenomenon") are predators.

Now how would you insult a predator?

. . . . you would hunt them.

I doubt they are stupid.

a reply to: Springer

I haven't heard you for while, I'm glad you're still around here mate.

a reply to: mirageman

Ok, so it really is like any other unproven claim of malevolent paranormal stuff then. Thanks for the info either way,

Gortex, folklore seems to be a much better way of describing it. It does kind of rank up there with waking up in an ice bath sans a kidney on the ludicrous ladder.

As the owner of this very site has been there, I hope this is not the moment that ATS as a website jumps the shark, lets hope for great veracity in the reporting and not just speculative BS with grainy vidoes and talk of "feelings"

a reply to: Springer


Do the people at Skinwalker Ranch, currently use any otherworlder attractants...like petroglyph/pictoglyph/geoglyph carvings or paintings that look skyward; in order to entice a UFO to land or appear in the sky above it?

Thanks...

Hi Springer,
I know you are limited on what you can say till the documentary is out/released, but as you say the ranch is now covered in sensors that can record what the human eye can't see, does that mean new things HAVE been recorded there and HAVE you seen them with your own eyes?

a reply to: Springer

I've NEVER seen a UFO, a ghost, or even a weird shadow. You'd think that the guy who is is into the topic(s) like I am would have by now but, alas, I have not.

That's weird man, but I never had any "paranormal" experiences until mid high school, and then they became so common as to be "mundane" over time. I believe UFOs in particular are mostly psychological phenomena, ive been able to show a couple of friends them. If you're ever around Vancouver...!

who have nothing to gain by telling their stories and usually don't talk to "outsiders"

Most people believe they are a good judge of character and intent when they really are not. Unless you've known them from childhood it's hard to say. Many people forget the motivation for psychological gain by feeling part of something exclusive and "special". That's not to accuse them, but its possible.

Also possible it's an expectation effect, or a psyop, or maybe something unfathomable to us...

a reply to: Ridhya

"Paranormal" stuff started happening to me with any frequency at
puberty. Funny thing that.

I'd say that most "paranormal stuff" at the very least BEGINS with
conversion disorder.. if you can't get your mind and body into
a state like that, you won't ever experience anything.

The question is really this:

1) Are most things ENTIRELY conversion disorder?
2) Are the "creepy crawlies independently there"?
3) Are the "creepy crawlies" being created like Tulpas from scratch?

I'd say that if things get quiet at SWR, it's because the "marketing"
has slacked off. Now that the "marketing" is ramping up, I'd imagine
there will be more stuff going on.

Someone good with "Tulpa generation" could probably go there and
create a #-storm of activity, if they had proper marketing support.

There's a very good reason that shamanism is more than half
great showmanship.. it's required to get your audience into
that fugue state.
