According to Navajo legend, Skinwalkers are shapeshifting witches that disguise themselves as deformed animals like wolves and bears.
The legend of the shapeshifting entity known as the Skinwalker has largely been relegated to hoax status. After all, it is difficult to believe that a humanoid figure has been transforming into a four-legged animal and terrorizing families in the American Southwest.
While unscientific, the Navajo Skinwalker does have deep roots in Native American lore.
The rest of America got its first real taste of the Navajo legend in 1996 when The Deseret News published an article titled "Frequent Fliers?". The story chronicled a Utah family's traumatizing experience with the supposed creature that included cattle mutilations and disappearances, UFO sightings, and the appearance of crop circles.
