Introduction

Skinwalker Ranch is an extensive piece of property located in north-east Utah and on the southern border of the Uintah Indian Reservation. It is thought by many to be a center of paranormal activity and aerial anomalies, including frequent incidence of UFO activity. Multiple books dealing with the property have already been published.

Interest in Skinwalker Ranch has increased substantially since the previous owners, the Sherman family, went somewhat public with the incredible events that interrupted their lives the two years that they spent on the property. Robert T. Bigelows subsequent purchase of the ranch served only to heighten that interest, the story evolving into one of speculation, with some suggesting the Ranch serves as a portal to an alternate universe, while others believe its current owner is engaging in projects of advanced technology based on engineering concepts derived from alien sources.

With this book I have set out to provide as much objective perspective as possible regarding the topic, relying on research, documents that have been made available to memostly from anonymous, but trustworthy sources, eyewitness accounts and narratives and experiences of those who have had substantiated and verifiable proximity to the Ranch and in the surrounding area. I have worked to avoid any and all speculation, unfounded or unsubstantiated theoriesregardless of the reliability of potential sources, and interpretation of alleged sightings or encounters. That said, the final section of this book has been reserved for first person encounters presented as narratives only, and not as evidence of any sort. What may or may not be true, I leave up to the reader.

The book is presented in four sections each with its own theme and series of topics.

Book 1 has as its objective to introduce the reader to the general history of Utahprimarily the rich abundance of prehistoric treasures, its original inhabitants and the cultural contributions of the Native Americans that reside to this day in the state. In addition, there is a brief piece on the location and history of the Ranch, and some insight on Robert T. Bigelow, his aerospace program and its relationship with MUFON.

Book 2 provides an inside look at Mr. Bigelows interest in the Ranch and the paranormal by revealing the contents of a confidential interview involving the director of one of his earlier initiatives and two investigators with key roles. In addition, there is a never before published interview with a prior resident of the Ranch.

Book 3 takes a look at a specific psychic investigation which focused on the ranch. The content of a confidential document produced as a result of that investigation provides specific details as to the objective of the investigation and its outcome. The second part of Book 3 presents excerpts from the Daily Security Logs generated by the security staff at the Ranch in 2009. Through these excerpts, the reader receives an inside perspective as to paranormal activity and the presence of aerial anomalies on the property, as well as the security routines and strategies for dealing with potential trespassers.

Book 4 is a series of narratives from individuals throughout the Four Corners territories that either personally experienced paranormal or extraterrestrial activity or have attempted to investigate for themselves activity on the Ranch.

As for those who are concerned that this book on the topic of the Skinwalker Ranch is more of what is already out there, I assure you this is a completely different approach. The information presented is derived from actual documents and correspondence with those who currently have or have had in the past a substantiated and verified connection with the Ranch itself and are writing or speaking from actual experience.

Book 1: Utah from a Pre-Historical Perspective and an Introduction to Skinwalker Ranch

The Path of the Skinwalker

That the path of the Skinwalker originates in the state of Utah and makes its way through the territories of the Four Corners is not owing to the randomness of fate, but instead to the deep and abiding spirituality of the original inhabitants of the area, and perhaps even to a time further beyond when creatures first took recognizable shape and form from the amorphous life force that existed prior. It was, and continues to be, the very force which inspires modern man to consider not only his own origin, but the possibility that other manifestations of life exist out there in the furthest reaches of space, or perhaps even here on Earth, beyond curtains separating us from alternate dimensions.

Both the Anasazi and Fremont peoples were cognizant of and believers in a place of origin, one from where the first of their people crossed over to the world as we know it, and another to where all people return following death. To these ancient people neither place was celestial, but alternate dimensions here on Earth and reached through portals known only to spirits. To know of this spirituality, one only need see the recorded history left chipped and painted on the rock face of the canyons and valleys within which they lived and thrived.

As for the RanchSkinwalker Ranch, it lies in the heart of that ancient territory, there in the center of some of the largest remaining Native American lands in the United States. To the north and north-east is the expansive Ute reservation. To the southin Arizona, but well within the cultural sphere of influence, is the Navajo reservation, the largest of its kind in the country. To the south-east, in the state of New Mexico, are a number of reservations belonging to the Apache which combined cover a substantial part of the north-west corner of that state. The Southern Ute have a reservation located in southern Colorado. All told, there are literally more than 30 reservations in the Great Basin/Colorado Plateau territories.

To this day, this territory is the home of the United States greatest concentration of Native Americans, and as such rich in the traditional culture and spirituality of their ancestors. It is this culture and spirituality that keeps alive the legends and myths of their people, and depending on your own personal experiences, or your open-mindedness when hearing of those of others, but particularly residents of the Four Corners, perhaps in a way significantly more substantial than we, at least some of us, are prepared to believe.

Given the intense and ancient life force that yet emanates from these territories, there should be no wonder that if there was a source of energy detectable by, and drawing the attention of extraterrestrial life, that it would be coming from here, and as such would provide rationale for the inordinate number of claims for UFO sightings and encounters associated with the area as compared to elsewhere on the planet.

Chapter 1: The Early History of Utah

PRIOR TO THE ARRIVAL OF MAN

Pre-historic Utah was most influenced by a huge body of fresh water which developed about 32,000 years ago known as Lake Bonneville. The lake, at 145 miles wide and almost 350 miles long, covered not only most of the state, but extended also into Nevada, Idaho and Oregon. It had an elevation of more than a mile, and at its greatest depths exceeded 1000. Today this area is generally referred to as the Great Basin.
