Attention! Alright, you'll be alright. My grandfather, too, he would tell the same story. In that same area, there was a horse, like a horseman. So, there definitely is that creature out there. So, they say these things can turn into wolves. They turn into, you know, different creatures, cougars, whatever is available. My name is Tony Merkel, host of the Confessionals Podcast. I've interviewed over 500 witnesses to the strange and unexplained. (0:01:23)
Last year, I assembled a team of like-minded guys to come with me on a quest to document and even possibly experience some of these mysterious phenomena for ourselves. We started getting lights out here over the ridge. Here they come again. Here they come again. That grey container was right here. Correct. Look left, look left. Up there? They'll come from the west, in the sky. (0:01:47)
So, it's old news. It's old news, yeah. This kind of stuff is connected in some way. What if those guys, whoever was that, was a decoy? God created everything, including these UFOs, including all those phenomena. God created it all. In the summer of 2022, the team got a chance at a trip of a lifetime when a show guest named Ryan invited us to his property called Space Wolf Research. Located in Utah's Uintah Basin, at the very doorstep of the infamous Sherman Ranch, Space Wolf had already produced multiple reports and evidence of strange happenings from skinwalkers to UFOs. It's very interesting how I got into an area that ended up being so restricted and locked down later on because it was so open back then. (0:02:44)
But I had succumbed to an injury. I was a fishing guide. I was driving around. I couldn't work or get my foot wet, so I was driving around doing stuff. I was coming down that road. Something was coming down through there. And I was like, ah, it looks like an elderly Native American. I couldn't tell if it was a he or a she. (0:03:06)
Really? Had a blanket over their head and came towards the truck. And I rolled down the window and said, hey, you want to get in? We arrived somewhere. They kind of mumbled something and just kind of grumbled in. Jumped up into the truck. And within seconds, I was just in tears. I didn't know what was going on. My reality just totally changed. The Bureau of Indian Affairs found me near Bottle Hollow Reservoir. And I was just kind of hanging out of my truck catatonic. (0:03:41)
They thought I was drunk. Did all the tests. They realized I wasn't. And asked me what happened. And when I told them, they explained to me that I had been nabbed by the skinwalker. And that's the first time I'd ever heard that. Seeking answers after his own encounter, Ryan would purchase property bordering the Sherman Ranch and attempt to create what he would refer to as a safe haven of sorts for the phenomena. (0:04:05)
No guns, no threats. (0:04:07)
So Ryan wants to create a safe haven for all the activity in the area. So, you know, if this stuff is conscious and it's bobbing and weaving and ducking behind bushes or whatever trying to avoid human contact, well, he wants to create an environment on his properties where it's just like a place where consciously it's known to be a safe place where nothing's going to happen, you're not going to get shot at kind of thing. (0:04:32)
So whether it's Bigfoot, shadow entities, aliens, UFOs, portals, they're welcome on his property. So he has a no-gun policy. He doesn't want anybody having guns on the property. Since episode 202, I've become pretty friendly with Ryan and I respect him. So we're going to follow his orders and his wishes and we're going to do this gun-free. So it's going to be interesting. Hopefully nothing too crazy happens that we can't handle with a hatchet, but we'll see. (0:05:01)
So show us the picture that we got. Oh, yeah. So apparently Christian's already there. And when they got to the ranch, one of the shipping containers that's on the property was picked up and moved. But there was no drag marks when it was moved and there was no tire tracks, nothing around. It was just mysteriously moved. So this is the picture that was sent right here. (0:05:35)
Oh, I got it, I got it. That's the picture right there, which is nuts. And you can tell there's no drag marks, like it was slid. It was just picked up in the middle of the night and moved. There was nothing on the property. So, yeah, this is what we're walking into. Teleporting shipping containers and we haven't even got there yet. So I feel like we're on track to see some wild stuff, I can tell you that. (0:06:05)
I appreciate your time. Oh, thank you. No problem. As part of my duty here, you know, I'm security. Right. So anything that happens out here, I'm supposed to be on top of it. I am absolutely baffled with how a 9,000 pound container is moved. Not so much as a blade of grass disturbed. Because there's no... it looks like it was picked up and moved. (0:06:40)
There's no scraping. Wasn't it by the building? Right by the building? Yeah, it was next to the building and now it's the other way. It's turned, isn't it turned? It's completely turned as if it was lifted. I didn't notice that. But I came out here and I go... Oh. That gray container was right here. Correct. And no skid marks, it's been skid by, right? (0:07:03)
That end right there was right there. I mean, a couple of years before, there was a 40 foot RV almost exactly where the container was that was vaporized by what was apparently a daytime lightning bolt. Well, we have pictures of the lightning strike. Ryan has them and I got them too. And they estimated that a 12 foot bolt hit the trailer and melted it. (0:07:29)
The lightning was getting kind of close and I told my husband, we better go in the house. (0:07:33)
I was getting pretty close and then boom, it hit right across the street. And we called the fire department and it was melted down, that whole trailer, within seconds. It went like this. So it had to be lifted up. Yeah. Here's a little bit of evidence. It wasn't lifted that high because it caught this rock. Look it. It caught that rock and it caught this one. (0:08:01)
It caught those three. It caught those rocks and moved them. But it had to be up high. What would it take to melt metal into rock? I mean, would a lightning bolt do that? Alright, so we've been here at this location for, I don't know, like six hours. You're going to freak out when you get here. There's some stuff that's totally unexplainable already. (0:08:32)
Really? Yeah, we've met some of the neighbors. They told us stuff that's going to blow your mind. Let me tell you this. Some of the words that we were told. Giant red-headed cannibals. Giant red-headed what? What? Woo! Hold on a sec. Giant red-headed what? Let's go, baby! But one of the Native American Indians that we've been hanging out with here told us about giant red-headed cannibals. (0:09:03)
You'll learn more about that. Water babies that are evil. What? Yeah. And what do you call star people? Star people. The star people that fly. Let's go! Oh, let's go. Well, just trying to find some gas before we run out of gas. Nothing major to see here. Where are we, Tony? I honestly don't know. Kansas, I believe? This is Wakini. Wakini? This is downtown Wakini. Downtown Wakini is closed. (0:09:39)
How we doing? Oh, fantastic. Yeah. Fantastic. You get killed by a serial killer before we even get there. Yeah. Geez, we're not worried about the skinwalkers. We're worried about getting picked up in Wakini by the guy from So I Know What You Did Last Summer, you know? Wakini looks like a waste. There's nothing going on here. I've never seen this empty of a town. (0:10:17)
That's what the Wakini Whacker wants you to think. With Christian and Joseph already reporting sightings, we raced through the night to get there. As the rest of the crew continued our 30-hour drive, they settled in for their first night at Space Wolf Research. But as we've always heard, when the sun goes down, the land comes alive. I came out here to produce a movie. (0:10:52)
I didn't plan on being in a movie. I've seen these shows. I'm a filmmaker. But when you have a real experience, like when we were looking through the binoculars and you shot that film through your iPhone and then you blew it up. I don't know what that was flying through. But then last night, that was it, man. I don't... I just... I don't... Listen, if he doesn't want to pay... I don't know. (0:11:26)
I need some coffee, though. Maybe I'll feel different. But last night, that was... there was a constant... it wasn't a hum. (0:11:34)
It was more like a rolling growl. Like... like a... It was like if the valley was snoring. It just... it just kept going and going. So much so that I got out of my tent and I went and slept in my truck. Arriving in Utah, we knew we would be walking into a very active situation. Not only had Christian and Joseph had a rough first night, but according to locals, the last few days had seen a spike in activity on the property. (0:12:06)
Finally pulling into our campsite at Space Wolf, we all felt heaviness and the surreal realization that we stood on the doorstep of one of the most infamous hubs of high strangeness in the world. Well, the first thing we did when we got here is we set up, looking out at the mesa there, the binoculars on a tripod. And we were just hanging out looking and I saw, and you'll see right across here, is some big solar panels. (0:12:40)
But from here at first it looked like a truck. And then there's a big tower... and what we figured out is at night it's solar panels that charge the light. And so as at night there's a red light and a white light and the white light turns... it blinks. I think it's so maybe some flames don't hit the mesa or I don't know. (0:12:58)
But then Christine and I were like, let's see if we can hold our camera up to the lens of the binoculars. And he started shooting and then I said, did you get that? And an object went down, over, and straight up. We only got the part of it crossing the frame. Here, I'll show you. What you're seeing right now is... this is the binocular circle and then the camera pushed up against it, alright? (0:13:37)
Okay. Now, that's what I'm focusing on. That's the solar panels with the lights. Okay. Right? And again, we were just like, well, let's see what this place is like. I have no idea. And now watch this area right around here. Oh, shoot, sorry. I saw it. Oh, wow. Now we slow it down. Huh. Wow. Now we slow it down again and he pulls in on it. (0:14:13)
Wow, what is that? It's crazy when you slow it up. Yeah, watch compared to that tree, that whole tree right there. Yeah. It's pretty big. Yeah. Wow. Wow. It looks almost like it's cloaking, too. But then, once it left frame, it went... and then I couldn't see it anymore. And you saw it with your naked eye. I saw it with my naked eye. He was holding his camera. That's your camera. (0:15:02)
He was holding it there and, you know, you see how he's trying to get it to like... and we were just trying to get to see what this was, to get video of this. And I went, whoa, did you see that? And he goes, what? And he looked back because he knew something was there. (0:15:16)
But I'm like, it just went through and then up. Wow. You know, and just a slightly different angle down lower, we would have not been able to catch that on camera. Right. Primed to expect the UFO activity after seeing what Christian and Joseph had captured, we decided to take a quick hike of the property before it got dark. As it would turn out, Space Wolf had something altogether different waiting for us. (0:15:38)
We've been looking at this trackway and these are what we're seeing here. This is obviously footprints going down this way. This is one that we have, we feel like has toes involved in it. And as it goes down here, my personal thought is it's almost as if somebody was standing here in the side waiting to make sure it's all good. (0:16:01)
Like they're standing this way, looking, and then they turned and started going down this way. And as they went down, so like this foot here, and then you come out here and it's like one, two. And then as we go here, now the footprints, these longer footprints are over, they're done. And now we have these hooves that develop into the ground here. And as it goes all the way down here, we've been able to track it all the way to the fence. (0:16:30)
And almost like it jumped the fence then and went through the mound on the other side of the fence. Before any of the other stuff popped off, that was the first interaction that we had that we knew that we were on some weird, weird stuff. What do you guys make of the burns? Well, see, that's the weird thing, right? You're thinking maybe lightning, but it's just burned all the way down. (0:16:55)
And it's burnt as well? Aw, man. The lightning along the path is weird. All over it, the whole path. The one thing I will say is there's no like, when lightning hits, it explodes the trees, and there's no like exploded burned pieces. Right, it's just like touched and burned. Do you think there could be that many lightning strikes, like, this close together? Yeah, but it's like it's cut with a burn. (0:17:23)
Oh, my God. Like this is burnt through and through. That is. Wow. Oh, my God. Blown into a chauffeur? That's the poster. Out here, there's all these prints that went over the mound here. And it's just a theory, but that we followed the tracks coming over to this way, and it was like something jumped over the fence and then went over that. What doesn't make sense is if it's an animal. (0:17:54)
To me, I would think an animal would go around it. I don't know why an animal would go over it, but... So when we came out here, the whole crew agreed we wanted to really take the experiential narrative of the Native American people that had lived in this area for generations and put it front and center, rather than doing the typical paranormal show thing with EMF meters and trying to prove something scientifically. (0:18:16)
We thought the continued experience of these people was at least as much proof as any amount of scientific data we could have gathered. (0:18:23)
Both Standing Rock and Johnny Gamachippee were the two tribal members that spent the most time with us. And when we found this set of tracks, we were careful to ask each of them to look at it independently so that one couldn't unintentionally sway the other. So before we get down in here and show you what we found, can you just tell me a little bit how you feel about this area? (0:18:46)
Because I know up there you said it kind of felt heavy. Yeah, just more heavier. I think the more closer we get to around this area, I think I just get more nervous. Because of the drill? Something, yeah. So right down this trail is where the series of prints start that Joel and Ward found. And so we're going to show you this and then we're going to come down here and I'm going to show you what we found with these tree branches that seems pretty bizarre. (0:19:16)
But you're going to see more of this scorched. Yeah. That's interesting. Look at these prints here. This is crazy, right? And as you go through here, they're deep, but look right here. Aha! Ah! See? Right here. He's going this way. We think so. He's going this way. Wow. So you see what we're looking at here as far as like... We want you to kind of give us your perspective because we don't want to be making something out of nothing. (0:20:21)
Like you can see how these... Like this one to me looks like a hook almost. Almost like a horse or something. And then there's the canine. And it's just... The canine one's over there and it keeps going. The left side I think is different than the right. Can you show me what you're pointing at? So it has this step and that step. And it's just stepping. (0:20:56)
But it's weird though how the almost humanoid prints disappeared though. Yeah. They don't exist anymore in this range. Around that area. As soon as it kind of gets into the clearing, you know? Right. As soon as it comes out of the brush. Then it gets into these. Yeah. Like it's hidden where you can't see it even if you're over here or right there. (0:21:21)
But as soon as it comes out, you don't see a person walking. You see whatever it is. So... But... That though... I don't know. What are you... I mean... Like transfer this change that you were telling me. I knew exactly what you're talking about because we've seen things similar to that before. Yeah. Like it stops there and then it gradually... As soon as it hits that point and then comes into these. (0:21:52)
Have you ever heard of... Have you ever heard of shapeshifters transforming into horses? Like tons of things. So it's just pretty much anything. Yeah. Any kind of animal would want to. Now, you said that shapeshifters can turn into horses. Yeah. We've been finding what seems to be a lot of horse manure all over the place here. (0:22:23)
And you hardly see horses around here. We haven't seen one. Exactly. And actually, there's a fresh pile next to the tree we just came in by. And I just don't know if it's horse manure or not. But it looks... I'm not touching my hands. Yeah. But it looks fresh and it wasn't there just the other day. Going back to my history, my family history, my grandfather would transform into many different things. (0:22:49)
Whatever the circumstance that he needed. Sometimes he would transform into a fox, coyote, a horse. So as people who aren't from here and stuff, we're not making a stretch or a leap here just by seeing that. Obviously, we're out here looking for a shapeshifter. But to come across that, where did the human prints go? And where did this horse pop up out of nowhere? (0:23:15)
Yeah. Well, you look at it like this. Why would these guys be out here doing this stuff, you know? It's just like... That's what I see. They transform. That's what they do. They come out to places like this. I mean... I don't like to talk about it too much because it sounds like it's really ridiculous. But that's what they do. They transform themselves into whatever entity, animal that they're trying to embody. (0:23:52)
And there's a lot of stories of Native Americans who used to transform into those things. Would become birds and fly over the forts and stuff. Scout out viewpoints and reference points for their tribal usage so they could easily maneuver around those kind of areas. It's not ridiculous because why are these transformation points out here? People run across them all the time. A lot of people don't know what they are. (0:24:23)
But that's what they're doing here. We've had them right near our homes. Tribal members have seen these transformations. Have stumbled upon them out in the bush somewhere. So we know these things take place. We don't talk about them. And when we do, more times than not, people think we're crazy. Crazy Indians. But that's what occurs here is these things. And now you get to see some of the things. (0:24:50)
That would be one of the signs that you would look for is something transformational. Finding a trackway like this so early was really unexpected. But having both Bo and Johnny sharing very similar perspectives really gave it a lot more credibility in our mind. Especially given that a day prior, Christian and Joseph had interviewed a neighbor that actually reported watching an entity of some sort enter the property. (0:25:16)
Have you had any weird, seen weird things? I have. I never used to believe in what they call skinwalkers. And just right down the hill, I come in the other direction, you know, where it comes up to almost the top of the hill. There'd come this big wolf, legs this long, and it was pure black. And its eyes, I can't describe as anything except for like light and a light bulb. (0:25:37)
But it was more like heat. It didn't have pupils or anything. (0:25:39)
And it just wanted me to see it. And, you know, I mean, it was looking at me the whole time. And it wasn't even really touching the ground. Yet it was walking. That's so hard to describe. And it gives me chills, too, just to talk about it. But it wasn't a scary thing to me. And it did. It just wanted me to see it. (0:25:54)
It kept looking at me. And then it just disappeared across the whole mountain. I was like, wow. That is strange. And now I have a little bit more open mind for stuff like that. Have you seen... is that the only time you've ever seen a wolf out here? Yeah. That's the only time I've ever seen anything like that. And I honestly didn't believe anybody. (0:26:09)
I would take a lie detector test about that because, I mean, I did see it. And I never believed stuff like that. Have you seen any wild animals out here or anything like that? No. Just, uh... There's a lot of noise out here. I mean, all night long. There was strange noises. Now, with the oil fields and everything else and the traffic now from the oil fields, I know pretty much what I'm hearing from around here. (0:26:36)
But inside of this house, just right here, you're always hearing somebody outside. I mean, if it's walking in the gravel or... Just, uh... Out in my yard. Constantly getting up and going and checking the door all the time. Just looking out and seeing if I see anybody out there. Never really is, but... Do you feel like there could be any connection between that and this property out here? (0:27:03)
And the walking around and... Yeah, there's something going on outside all the time. Seems like it's a paranormal dimension of some type or something to me. You know, I mean... I don't understand a whole bunch about that kind of stuff. But that's what I would take it as. I'm not an expert or anything, but I would take it definitely as something... that is... not necessarily of this world, but... Right. You know, it is. (0:27:31)
Because it's obviously here. I mean, that wolf thing was nothing but a shadow. But it was in, you know, it was... I always lose the ability to talk about it because... it's so hard to describe or whatever. It wasn't just like a shadow, but it wasn't a shadow. You could see it clear as day. And as soon as, you know, I looked at it and my head followed across the street, I mean, it just disappeared. It was gone. (0:27:51)
As night fell, we had no idea what lay waiting for us outside the reach of the fire's light. Until an accidental discovery confirmed we had somehow landed right at ground zero. We might be in for a long night. Why? We might be in for a long couple of nights. We went down that trail where we saw the prints. (0:28:16)
And we went back further looking for a place to put the game trail cams. We found a little bridge to go back across the creek. And so we went back across the creek and went pounding around because we saw a tree that... would be a good spot to look over the trail. Yeah. I'm starting to hang it and Ward... He walks away and I turn around and look over. (0:28:40)
And I said to him, is that what I think it is? And he's like, yep. And he's standing there. And what I saw, I thought was a skull. Like antlers and stuff, you know? And so I was like, oh, you know. And I told him, I said, it's kind of getting a little eerie back here. And he's like, yep. And when I got done hanging the camera, he's now standing next to me. (0:29:07)
And we're getting ready to walk away. And I was like, let me go check this out real quick because I wanted to see it. What, when I walked up close to it, I didn't realize at the time was it was a ritual circle. And it had a couple of different skulls. It had a bowl in the middle of it. And this is what it looked like. (0:29:26)
Just pass it around. There's a couple of pictures you can swipe through. It ties in with that last story I told you in the interview. With the rituals that have been happening around here. It was literally maybe like 30, 40 feet away from where we were walking around this afternoon. On the other side of the creek. So I wonder if that's connected to what we saw. (0:29:57)
That way or that way? That way. That way. So I wonder if it's connected to what we saw at the footpath. Maybe. Be careful with that. Stay, stay, stay away. How recent would you say that is? Could be an ongoing thing. It looks like it's been a while. So it might be like this. Maybe Ryan interrupted one of their spots. This was their spot before he moved in. (0:30:25)
So maybe in their mind he's intruding. The people on this are intruding on their deal. In their view. So this might be just a statement of some sort. We're here and we're going to stay here or something like that. It's a warfare. It's a form of warfare. If you really think about it, that's what it was utilized for. When you see those things, when our people see that, that's a sign of war against you. (0:30:56)
They've invaded you and they've done their thing on your land. They've put their flag there, right? That's what they've done. And you believe this connects with the possible... It does. It does connect. It does, yeah. Yeah, you guys are in it now. You know, it almost looks like the crown of thorns. Whoa! It was a little too dark to see what was... That's unbelievable, man. Get that over here. (0:31:29)
I'm going to wash my hands. (0:31:31)
Wow. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We've got a light. You might need to get your A7. I'm not quite sensitive enough to pick it up, I don't think. It's gone. Oh, man. It's gone. Big white. I got it on camera. You got it? I got a picture of it. Whatever that was. Well, there's something still lit up there, though. There's none of this last night. (0:32:09)
Oh! You see it? Oh, my God. There is something pulsating like crazy. Oh, you're looking at over here. I'm seeing it. I'm seeing it. It's over here, too, though. Yes, it's going nuts this time. Oh, man, they're both going nuts. All right, so I was talking to you guys earlier about the ritual circle and how things started heating up here when we started talking to the group about it. (0:32:34)
Well, we started getting lights out here over the ridge, and they've been nonstop. Joel? Oh, man, here they come again. Here they come again. Oh, man, it's huge. Look at that. Wow. What's this one here? Straight ahead? What are you seeing out here? Describe to them what's going on. So there's these red and white lights, and they're pulsating in a nonrhythmic pattern. So they're just moving in this one spot, but they're not showing up in the same place at all. (0:33:15)
And sometimes they're getting super bright, and then sometimes they're not as bright. But they're not in the same spot, so you know it's not a stationary light that's out there for planes or anything like that. This is completely different. We've seen lights pulsating throughout the ridge, too. On the ridge, yep. So it's just popped up right around the time they found this ritual circle. (0:33:35)
And that's where it started. These lights on the ridge way over from where we're looking now was shining up into the sky. Oh! Whoa! Oh! Whoa, that just lit up. There it is. That's it. That just lit up. That's what I'm saying. Yep, and now it's gone, right? Oh, here they come. Yep, yep. All right, let's not yell too loud because I don't want them hearing us over there. (0:33:55)
Oh, my God. And it's gone. But there's two more over there on the right. And it's moving. Yep, I see it now. I see it now. Yep, I know exactly what you're talking about, bro. Yeah, but there's a red one that jumps in with them. Well, I can't see color on this. Yeah, this is crazy. But both of those were white. But you see those two still right there, right? (0:34:10)
You still see the two? Uh-huh. Okay, so... Oh, and look like... That has nothing to do with that red one, bro. That's blue. That's blue. It's gone. It's gone. Man, this thing is bright. What are we looking at? What is that? I have no idea. Hang on a sec. I gotta get this one that I can get on the camera. Here. No, it's everywhere. (0:34:31)
You're not going to have that many planes in the sky. (0:34:33)
Yo, these are moving. What is that in the sky, guys? Look where the plane's at, but look at the other one right there by it. Joel, you gotta come here and look at my camera, bro. Oh, shit. Have you seen this pattern? Oh, oh, oh. Where is it? After recording sightings in the sky, we could not explain. We started to wonder if the stories of the activity in the area being intelligent were true. (0:34:58)
It really seemed to us, as we were there living it, that the discovery of this altar and our attention on it at the campfire might have kicked off all this phenomena in the sky. Alright, so me and the whole crew are going down to the ritual site right now. It is nighttime, and we're going to go check it out and see what happens. (0:35:19)
Because our natural reaction is to kind of just stay next to the fire. I think that's human. And so we're going to go against our reactions and our inclinations and go check out this ritual circle at nighttime. Oh, oh, oh, wow. Yep. Crystals. Multiple skulls. Skull bone. What's this? There's some kind of seed. That's another offering. Don't touch too much. Don't want anything to touch right now. (0:36:04)
Don't touch it. It still has skin on the skull. Yes. I know Bo would know more than I do, but these are probably an offering of the seeds on this side of it. The orientation of it is important, so if we knew which way, north, west, south. So this is probably north. Keep your ears open. That's as much as you can do right now. (0:36:32)
Yeah, no, I heard movements too. You heard movements? Yeah, we heard cracking. Yeah. That way. Slightly. Almost like a rat. We don't see anything. After a wild first night, we wanted to get Johnny's perspective on the area in general and what could lie behind the strange things that seemed to manifest there. It's just always been an amazing place when it comes to those types of paranormal activities. (0:37:31)
But it's been ongoing since I was a kid. We're told all these stories and warnings and all sorts of things, so we live by those things. The outside is just kind of starting to figure it out and take notice of what we've been noticing probably for thousands of years. Yesterday we were checking out what we were just, for us, calling a boneyard. And we were followed back to where we were staying by a guy that saw us there. (0:38:03)
And he even stopped at the end of the driveway that we turned into and just stared at my vehicle as I was pulling in. And I didn't know if it was something that people noticed if you're not from around here and they kind of just follow you to make sure you're not up to any problems. Yeah, I'll tell you this. Okay, so you were in a boneyard. I don't know exactly what you've seen or where it was. (0:38:27)
But when we talk about one specific activity, it's the skinwalker. (0:38:36)
I call it a cult, basically. It's a bad, spiritual, bad, evil. Basically, that's what we consider it to be. It's bad energy. There's a lot of that activity that goes around. And those are actually physical humans who go through that process. In essence, they're like werewolves. However they became, there's all sorts of different ways. And it's not specific to one tribe. It's all over. (0:39:09)
It's a shapeshifting, right? Yeah. So they have specific, different, you know, shapeshifters follow different alters, different medicine. It's dark medicine. Because we have good medicine and there's bad medicine. Straight out. There's a lot of that that goes on. Native country, a lot of the reservations you go to, you will hear about it. Curses, different things that people have learned how to utilize these entities and these forces that are out there. (0:39:51)
So that's basically what they've done. Hundreds, maybe thousands of years ago, a group had discovered these entities and become subservient to those entities, I guess. That's what you would say. So it's a dark force. It's a dark force. So on that topic of the shapeshifting, go ahead. Just keep your eye out. Okay. With what you just said, how prevalent would you say shapeshifters are around here? (0:40:23)
Is this something that is a hit and miss every once in a while? There could be somebody in your presence that is like that or is it something that a lot of people pursue? I don't know how to say it. It's just there's a few. Okay. There's a few. What are we watching for out here? That's so vast. I mean aside from the fact that it's gorgeous. (0:40:45)
That rock looks... That's old grandmother rock right there. Wow. This is where a lot of the activity goes. It's just one of our sacred spots. This whole area is all sacred hills. Really? You can walk over there if you want to. Do you want to walk over there? Yeah. Just take a look at some of the... I've noticed this. And like I was telling you with this skinwalk or whatever you want to call it. (0:41:18)
Bad guys. There is a human entity that's pushing it. Right? There's a human. Like even one of us. Join that. Do those bad things. So they do have their people. Their guards. And I've noticed that. In fact a few months ago. Yeah about a couple months ago. It was back in April. I was helping a friend. She was just north of me on White Rocks Road. And they had been seeing these creatures around here. (0:41:48)
And in the trees it was shouting at them. And they were just like, what the heck is this? And one night one of them came into the house. Scared, scared, scared her daughter. So they called me. And I said, well let's pray. So we went and did our thing to protect her house, her family. And we made a burial around her little ranch there. (0:42:10)
And so we left. (0:42:13)
In fact, it's funny we're talking about this. Because we came here to pray to leave some tobacco here. Because of power in this place. So we said, well let's come down here and we'll leave some tobacco for the old lady. And then we'll go back. So we brought the tobacco here, which is an offering to the creator. And we went back. And we're in two vehicles. (0:42:34)
They went up the road to her house. And I was about to turn off the highway to go up the road to her house. Her son was with me. And I looked at the road just a little ways down the road, like from here to my pickup. And I seen this guy in a hood. Hood just walking, kind of his head down. And so I said, I asked him, who is that? (0:42:56)
He didn't say much. Oh, it's just somebody walking. So we went up. It was quite a way, maybe a little further than that. And I just dropped him off, turned back around, came back down the hill. And he was a little closer. And just as he was getting to the boundary, like where we prayed. And we left our medicine there. He just, like something pushed him back. (0:43:14)
Something pushed him back. Made him go. And the weird thing was, if maybe if it was, oh, I forgot, so I got turned around. Why didn't he go back down the highway? He pushed him back and he went down into the trees. Wow. Yeah. So, but I told, and that's something I was told to be careful. I've always noticed those things and seen those things. (0:43:36)
And since then, a lady tourist, my friend, she's told me that they've seen it again. But he won't come through. He's trying to come through, but he can't come through. So this is just in this area right here. The way I figure it, because I tracked a different, just over time and over the years, I've heard different stories from different places. And it all seems to follow, it follows, actually it follows the rivers. (0:44:04)
It follows the rivers. You'll see a lot of activity along this river, north and south. And then right in where Skinwalker Ranch happens to be where the two rivers connect. And then you also have a lot of activity that's coming down the Duchesne River, Strawberry and Duchesne River. And it seems to follow some sort of a track or, you know, some line of power. (0:44:28)
In March I was walking on that side. And did you see all these weird formations, little ridges in the air? Yeah. I was just looking at them. And a lot of them are really weird because they're supposed to be natural formations, but they don't look like they were naturally placed. Right angles, different things like that, so whatever it may be. All of our prophecies kind of more or less tell the same thing. (0:44:53)
There's a big change coming, you know, even coincides with a lot of Christian and a lot of those teachings as well. (0:45:01)
But with most natives, we're there. We've already started. It's already going. You've already been acknowledging it. Yeah. For a long time. When I was a kid, you know, they talk about that. So given what you were talking about before with the burial sites and not disturbing ground, we've heard a lot of people suggest that all these oil rigs are disturbing the ground. Yes, yes they are. (0:45:33)
So it's it's fathomable that these oil rigs are really drumming up a lot of activity. They are drumming up a lot of activity. And I used to think about this and I actually proposed this to the tribe. This is years ago, 20 some years ago, when there wasn't a lot of activity. Because being from North Dakota, being a Lakota, that's probably how we would attend to things. (0:45:57)
So I said, every time we drill a wall, we should go and pray for that wall. We should offer it because we don't know what we're drilling into. We don't know what we're releasing, you know. So yeah, I 100% believe that. I believe it to be true as you feel it. And there's been more activity since a lot of this oil activity has come to the basin. (0:46:25)
There's been more unidentified paranormal activities going around. And I definitely think there is a connection. Absolutely. Could the mesa really contain ancient burial sites or the remnants of an even older civilization? Could the recent oil boom in some way be upsetting the area and causing strange activity? According to many locals, the answer is yes. The wolf that you saw and the sounds that you hear before or after the drilling? (0:46:55)
After. Yeah, it was definitely after. Now, that's interesting, don't you think? Yeah, I do. No, I think it is. With every situation, there is a multitude of factors playing into what is happening. And I think that one of the things that is happening is that there's been a lot of radiation fallout that has swept over this valley from the testing sites in Nevada due to the air currents. (0:47:26)
So I think there's a lot of radioactive material in the soil that when you dig, you disrupt this radioactive material. And so I think that's a caution on that just for our current history. But I think if we're going back to ancient history, it's a burial ground for the tribal people. They understand that there's this energy highway and they want their ancestors to travel this highway back to source. (0:47:50)
So they, you know, there's a burial ground right next to the ranch. The ranch is pretty much built, that whole ridge is a burial ground. So, you know, disrupting that is just its own offense in and of itself, you know. Yeah, there's some really strange things going on. There's activity that is kind of like rebooted around 2016, right around when this oil rig went in, right around when new ownership purchased. (0:48:21)
And it's very interesting. (0:48:26)
There's a lot of people that say that people used to bury their dead in certain places, you know, Indian burial grounds. And so they have tons of them in this whole basin, just everywhere, sprawled out in any direction you go, you always see one. And, you know, the more they do that, the spirits of the dead or whatever you want to call them, you know, it unleashes that into the world. (0:48:54)
They have nowhere to go. Their bodies, Native Americans, as far as, you know, they believe is when you die, you have to have your body connected. Or you have to have your body to be connected to the spirit world or to the Native American heaven, the hunting grounds. You have to have your body here. So when a Native American cremates themselves, they have no body to be connected to that world. (0:49:24)
But a lot of people did bury their dead with all their bodies, everything, their belongings. But when these things happen, and it disturbs that, their spirits are disconnected, from my understanding, from that bridge. You know, because something keeps their body here and they're up there. And a lot of them have to come down and see what's happening. Could this place really be some kind of energy highway, a ley line or path that draws the activity along it? (0:50:02)
Could burial sites be what energizes the shapeshifter rituals and medicine? Or is it something darker? What's there to fear about a shapeshifter? Have they been known to hurt people? Yes, yes. So as I was talking earlier, down there, we're talking like this was a form of warfare, you know. So that was the purpose of it. So they do carry medicine from that realm. (0:50:30)
This is all energized, they're all sponsored from this dark realm, from a specific point. So they do have the ability to hurt people, to kill people, to take things from people. It's all about control. I don't know exactly, I try not to know, but you know, it's all around us. We hear a lot of things. I don't know, you know, it's just a bad, dark place for bad, dark people, you know. (0:51:00)
You came here as a youth pastor. Yeah. In doing that, you have a set of beliefs that were well-defined before this. Has that been changed, altered, strengthened in any way this week? When we talk about all of these things like the evil entities and the guarding of yourself from these, you know. This is what Johnny's talking about, you know, especially with guarding yourself with what he does with sage and prayer and everything. (0:51:37)
I mean, the Bible talks about, you know, preparing yourself with the armor of Christ, you know. And that's, in my mind, that's the comparison I see. Be aware of what's going on underneath you, no matter where you are, you know. Because there might be some energy, some power that's there from way back, you know. (0:52:01)
Even our people don't know, because we're newcomers to this area. So our elders would always tell us, don't dig, don't do this, don't disturb things from the old people. There were people before us, so we didn't mess with that, you know. But do be aware of what's underneath you, you know. I've lived in cities, in Phoenix, in Chicago, and people build. And especially in Phoenix, there's been, there's probably thousands of cases building right over the Hohokam, you know, ruins and different things. (0:52:30)
And you have a lot of poltergeist activity around that area. But people don't know why, so I'll say. So know what's underneath you, know what's there, listen, don't disregard those stories, you know. And I think that's what's important. And that'll just enhance things, you know. It'll enhance you, because it gives you more history, more insight to what's going on. Because it's not just the past ten years since YouTube's been invented. (0:53:00)
No, we've been seeing this for a long time. But things are changing, I guess that's what I'll tell you. All our people say that. Just be prepared, things will get weird, things will change. You don't have to speak for the entire tribe, but would a weight be lifted in a lot of people if they could tell their side of the story? Yes. That's exactly what we had hoped to do by coming here. (0:53:30)
We hoped we could give voice to the experiences of those that had lived here the longest. Sometimes the campfire stories you hear end up being true. The next morning, anthropologist James Keenan, who had spent six years following the magnetic field shifts beneath the Uinta Basin, arrived at Space Wolf to take EMF readings. James' data and anthropological insight into an even older civilization added yet another layer of meaning onto the happenings we had experienced. (0:53:59)
In this area you have from a negative 14 microtesla all the way up to an 89 microtesla with the average for this area being a 46. I believe it was 46 for right here. So that's just what the magnetic differences are for each location in the earth all the way down to its core. A negative would mean that there's some type of cavity or void underground. (0:54:29)
The higher means there's something highly magnetic. To go up to an 89, you're talking about something like a large magnet. But what's insane is it's transient. It's moved. You can't have a negative 14 to an 89 in the same location, yet this is one of four spots that I've found and it's in a diagonal line. They perfectly match up at 8.34 degrees. And what's kind of crazy is that 8.34 degree heading goes right up to Blind Frog Ranch too. (0:54:57)
And then there's this whole underground cavern system too that we've been under in certain parts with a lot of flowing water. So we're wondering if maybe that's how, if it's highly saline, there's positive ions, high magnesium. (0:55:15)
My whole hypothesis is that there's some type of magnetic energy underground that's feeding to a relay. So you have point A underground, there's a point B, whatever that may be, and then it's transmitting out into space. And whatever it is, there's several Navajo symbols and there's actually a Navajo book that the front cover has the same type of theory. And it's all tied into the Yinaldluxi, which is a skinwalker. That's what the Diné call them. (0:55:49)
And also with the symbols of the petroglyphs and the pictographs, and then also obviously UFO. Yeah, the giants is a whole other topic, but you'll see that in the petroglyphs at Dry Fork Canyon. I mean, seven feet plus in height, six digits on the fingers, massively large feet. So they say the Citeka were the red-headed cannibal giants for this area. I don't believe they were cannibal, but they were headhunters. (0:56:20)
And you can see that in the anthropomorphic figures, or actually have taken heads, trophy heads. So that may be where that came from. Okay, that's interesting. I've heard of the red-headed giants before. And so now that we know we can visit somewhere where they were depicted, I think it would be worth our time before we head back home. Oh, absolutely. Even the three kings up at the top, you won't be able to get close, but with the camera you'll be able to zoom in. (0:56:46)
Consider the height factor of what you're looking at compared to what's around it. And there's one anthropomorphic figure over to the right. You'll see the patina is a lot older than the rest of it. It's truly an interesting rock art piece to look at, because that's just telling us that there was something about that site that was so important that it continued to be worked over and added to. (0:57:10)
And periods after. Had there really been giants here? How long has this high strangeness been going on? We did in fact find a number of petroglyphs left by ancient and little understood Fremont cliff dwellers near the basin. Ancient depictions of giants, shapeshifters, and even what some would call portals. With new layers of context on the basin, we gathered around coffee to prepare for our last night on the property. (0:57:39)
Going into tonight, I feel like my headspace is just more understanding compared to what it has been the past couple of days. Spending time with Johnny and Bo and understanding their culture, I understand a little bit more as to what kind of makes up this area and the essence of what's been going on. And we'll see what happens tonight with that. But I definitely feel like I'm coming from a more educated understanding. (0:58:08)
And as a result of that, I might go through an experience tonight that I might view differently than I would have two days ago. Yeah, I think I kind of have a patient mindset tonight. We came in kind of like guns ablaze and we were excited to get going. (0:58:25)
And now that we've had that experience with talking with both Bo and Johnny and others around the area, it kind of helps to settle that excitement down. But also knowing that we're in the presence of a lot of other things going on. So I'm pretty patient. Yeah, so for me, it's two things. One was last night around the fireplace when Johnny sat there and told us that he felt like that we've come in with reverence and respect. (0:58:54)
And he feels like the people that do that tend to see what they have come to see. Also, I think just from a perspective of who we are as a team, I think that's what we bring to the table. We don't come in here just trying to stir things up just for the sake of it. I think we want to go about it the right way. (0:59:10)
We want to do it in a respectful way and also a safe way. But I feel real good about tonight. I've been getting that feeling since I woke up this morning. And I know that place is just a hotbed ready to explode. Hearing the experiences of the people that lived here and having our own strange encounters earlier in the week, we were all excited for what our final night at Space Wolf would hold. (0:59:32)
Unfortunately, the night took a turn none of us expected. So back there when Jack was saying he saw that blue light blinking, which is obviously some sort of tower or something like that. As we were pulling past, I noticed there was a dirt road next to us and headlights lit up. And I said, well, that's kind of odd. They're on a dirt road. There's nothing back that way. (0:59:55)
And I started turning around and watching. And they slowly pulled out. They waited though for us to get way down. And they pulled out and they essentially followed us. And that's why I asked Tony to stop because it just seemed odd. I wanted to see what they did. (1:00:19)
Well, they did come by there, but they did slow up by the entrance to Space Wolf. But they kept going obviously because they saw us stopped. We didn't go all the way back to the campsite. So currently we are trying to follow them. Joseph just called me. So one of you guys could maybe call him. Yeah, somebody called Joseph. A truck hidden in the high desert had evidently been waiting for us to pass. (1:00:39)
When we pulled into the driveway at Space Wolf, the following car slowed to a stop at the gate. When they saw Joel get out of the vehicle and acknowledge them, they sped off. In the heat of the moment, we decided to follow. It looked like they sped up. I'm telling you, man, it's weird. There's no... It was like that classic... They were in the dark the whole time until we came driving by and then the lights lit up. (1:01:05)
Yeah. Well, that's odd how far out there he got. (1:01:12)
I know, he sped up big time. I have a feeling this guy is going to disengage on us. Keep an eye out left and right too. He pulled off. Yeah, look left, look left, look left. There are protectors. That's some good stuff. I mean, he's trying to tell me to turn, but... Careening down back roads at speeds of 90 or more, the car that had been following got away from us. (1:01:49)
During this chase, however, we got a call from Joseph back at our base camp. He had stayed behind that evening and so had seen that after we pulled out to chase the follow car, yet another vehicle had pulled into Space Wolf driveway and presumably would have continued all the way down to our campsite if Joseph hadn't flashed a strobing tactical flashlight at them. (1:02:10)
Get ready to text him that we're at the gate. You got it, Christian? Yeah. I've never seen a vehicle go around corners that fast though. That was that, like it's a pickup truck. Yeah, he was pushing it. He made distance on us. It's kind of hard to do that with as much stuff as what we have. Yeah, he got more weight. Yeah. We'll find out how far this car came down. Did it just come in here? (1:02:42)
Look at that though, you can still see the dust in the air. Yeah. I mean, that's what I thought when I saw that car pull up. The lights went off, all you saw was lights. When did you turn the lights on? Like right before you turned it in? So as it turned in, they went off before it completed its turn, rolled in, and I thought it was Chester's, a friend of Chester's or something. (1:03:05)
You know? And then he just kept coming, coming, coming, and I was like, oh no, no, no, no. Did it stop before you did that or after? No, it stopped when I did this. So like that stopped it? And then it backed up. Did it back up in a hurry when you did that? No. No, because I think it figured out how far I was away, but I'm thinking, what if those guys, whoever that was, a decoy, to pull you guys away and then somebody comes in here. (1:03:36)
Well, this car was like, I mean, I would just call it a Camry, that kind of car. Yeah, like a four-door. Could you tell Colin to turn it on? No, I couldn't, it was too dark. See that light? That's a motion sensor. That's the light that first alerted me to it, just as it like... So it's probably at 20, 30, or 60 seconds. (1:03:59)
There you go. There it goes. 30 seconds. Which means it kicked on. Being in a threatening situation put a massive damper on the final night. We became less worried about the unexplainable and more about our own physical security. Obviously, someone had wanted into our camp. (1:04:29)
But for what purpose, we don't know. Could there have been something we weren't supposed to know? Was it intimidation? Or just letting us know we were being watched? We did not bring the K2. Just saw it now. Do you think that there's ancient curses on this land, these lands and stuff, that might attract the activity that has been happening here? I mean, we're talking about upright walking dogs, giant wolves. (1:05:15)
We're talking about UFOs, abductions, rake-looking type creatures. There's so much going on here in this area. Do you think that there could have been an ancient curse put on this land that has been almost like a magnet for all this stuff? I didn't really know. I thought up until the point he was actually... I don't know if it was a he or a she. (1:05:38)
We were in the vehicle, and I don't even know exactly what it was, because I never got a full look at it. But it seemed like an interesting, possibly interdimensional type, now that I look back. But it was a very just... For all intents and purposes, what I saw was an older Native American in the middle of nowhere. Natives were very resistant to telling anything, because we didn't want to be diagnosed as crazy. (1:06:11)
That's true. So we kind of kept quiet and just kept it among ourselves. We didn't really talk until recently. But then at the same time, no one really asked us either. Could you define for the audience what a skinwalker is? I mean, there's a lot of people that define it differently, I've heard at least. But what would you say a skinwalker is? It is a mixture of things, and it really depends on what culture is defining it. (1:06:44)
Whether that be the Native Americans defining it as a skinwalker, or a dark arts practicing witchery way of following dark shaman, appears to be something they are not. Magic, perfectly explained, really. In the paranormal community, few places elicit as strong an association with the truly unexplained as this cut of high desert. Could it be that this place is set apart in some way sacred or desecrated? (1:07:20)
Why are experiences here so common, so vivid? Out at the margins of reality, questions abound while answers are rare. It's poetry, not a technical manual. What I do know, is that if you listen to the sounds that have hung over this place the longest, the voices of those with the longest memories, you can start to catch the rhythm. (1:07:43)
