My biggest problem with skinwalker ranch is that it seems like it doesn’t know what it wants to be. You have aliens, skin walkers, portals, ghosts and spirits???? It’s like they took every famous myth/legend and blended them to get as much interest as possible. What are the chances that of all things unimaginable, they’re ALL concentrated in skinwalker ranch?

as a native I always find it interesting when people talk about skin walkers, for one a lot of people commonly confuse skin walkers with wendigos (or they somehow combine the two) and secondly lots of tribes believe in skin walkers but the only main theme between all of them is an evil person or spirit that can shape shift or imitate animals. for example in my tribe I've never heard that a skin walker was some type of witch or did witchcraft, although there is people you could call witches, to us a skin walker is usually a person who murdered a family member and becomes an evil spirit, they can shape shift and they'll mess with you by misplacing things or scaring like horses or cows, and if they are in animal form and they stare at you and you look into their eyes they can make you kill yourself and do other evil things to you. there's also some interesting things about owls but that's another story.

Malevolent tricksters

Ice circles are actually a rare natural phenomenon. As far as I understand it, they can happen when pieces of ice on a moving stream start to freeze together. Sometimes a piece of ice can get closed in, but because of the still moving water underneath, it slowly turns around. This turning causes it to collide with the ice around it, but not freeze to it, and eventually the piece gets bigger, and bigger. The constant movement causes shavings around the edge, and it's obviously round because it keeps spinning slowly, causing both the piece and the ice around it to "erode" in to that round shape. come to think of it; this could actually be an interesting idea for a video, if you haven't done that yet XD (sorry, haven't seen all your video's yet...)

When in line at the supermarket, I used to browse a tabloid rag called the "Weekly World News". It always had a headline about a werewolf, bat-boy, or bigfoot. One week, they published an issue with the headline "Gay Martian Vampire Gets AIDS". It was the most awesomely ridiculous thing I had ever seen and bought the issue. Unsurprisingly, the full article had no real pictures or evidence, but some neighbors were interviewed about the "strange goings on" next door. The only logical explanation was apparently a homosexual extraterrestrial in poor health with a blood fetish. After reading the headline, the article was a pretty huge disappointment. The "Weekly World News" has since gone out of print, but I can only assume that their entire writing and editorial staff has since gotten work at the History Channel.

Why do people watch this crap? Life is so bad that people want to believe in escapism and magical thinking. Whether that be conspiracy nonsense or religion or the paranormal or reality TV or whatever else speaks to you. To a lesser extent, it's why we read, play and watch fantasy and SciFi, though I'd never say those who do believe this is real, but there's a similarity.

In 1978, before I, or anyone I knew ever heard of a duende, my brothers, sister, some of their friends described something like a duende in my mom’s basement. Some saw it, the ones with their backs facing it said they smelled a horrible stench. It ran from one room past the bottom of the stairs and into the laundry room. My brother and sister immediately gave chase, turned on the lights, found nothing but the stink. That basement is alleged to have produced loud, strange noises over a 40 year period. Guests have said they heard weird sounds coming from the basement. I’ve never experienced anything unusual there myself. Maybe I’ve got some kind of anti-paranormal shield or something. There’s been a Cuban family living there for 5 or 6 years. Cubans are familiar with the duende legends. I’m thinking maybe I should drop by - I found the original blueprints to the house I could use as an excuse - and casually ask if they’ve ever seen or heard anything odd. If not, more water on the duende legend.

For all the work that’s been put into it the last 20 years, if it weren’t for people believing in ghosts, I don’t think it would have the value it currently has. Both my wife and my sister worked there in the 70’s and 80’s when it was an old folks home - they never heard anyone speak of ghosts, much less saw anything paranormal. Spending 40 or more hours a week in there, for 20-odd years (combined) and never seeing a thing. Now almost anybody that pays the fee for an overnight stay, or just a tour comes home with PROOF that ghosts are real. Most of this alleged proof comes from owners of digital cameras thot don’t know what the “Night Mode” is for. Skinwalker is a goldmine for the same reason. There was a “paranormal photographer” that claimed to have photographed a ghost at Waverly - a picture of a naked young woman that you could see through, presented as proof that ghosts are real. He was a professional photographer with a web page showing some of his paid models - odd that one of his models looked a lot like the naked ghost girl. The owner of Waverly was not in cahoots with this presenter of *proof* that ghosts are real, no, the photographer was in some kind of paranormal club from Missouri (I think). A double exposure on a piece of film isn’t proof of anything except that you’ve got a genuine double exposure, but the True Believers were more than willing to accept it. If ANYONE ever comes up with proof that ghosts are real, he will also have proven that there is Life After Death, and his name will be on the lips of every human being on the planet forever. And let’s not forget the fortune that will be his beginning with his Nobel Prize. Same for PROOF that we are being visited by aliens from Space. Or that leprechauns and duendes are real. By the way, many years ago I noticed Sasquatch footprints in the snow in my backyard. Took pictures of them too. I think the CIA stole them.

The sunlight heated the bags…. They rose rather quickly. I kept them tethered to a fish line until I saw cars stopping along the road, and reeled it in fast enough that nobody saw where my UFO landed. It was on the local news. I’m not a “believer,” but one night my brother and I were watching a satellite traveling north, almost directly overhead. Then, without decelerating, it stopped, didn’t move for about 10-15 seconds, then it split into two parts, each as bright as before, and the two parts took off east and west, very quickly, with no apparent acceleration. I do not drink, use drugs, and I am a well-educated man. My brother has a Master’s in computer science. We both saw the same thing. I don’t know what it was, but there is no way, that in these days of EVERYBODY carrying a small movie camera in their phones, we wouldn’t have tons of evidence of extraterrestrials if we were being visited by them. My stunt with the plastic bags probably contributed to the belief in aliens coming to Earth - I wish I had not done it.

See, hide can be a touch thing, so a lot of animals will tear into the rectum of a carcass because the hide is thinnest there and requires less work to access those protein rich organs and muscle tissues. And Aliens, being the smart people they are, probably observed this and adopted it under their "work smarter, not harder" philosophy.

One hovered over the truck my brother and I were in and we had nearly four hours of missing time. Multiple witnesses, including myself, saw a large red glowing head putting off heat in our house. Giant birds were seen, and my cousin saw a large black flying creature right before he found his dogs dead, and my aunt saw it ripping branches from a large tree. I saw the damage it did to the tree and the limbs it snapped from the tree were several inches in diameter. Multiple members of my family lived on 30 acres there and we all moved. The family who bought our house abandoned it within weeks after all the doors flew off their hinges.

To me it sounds like the Shermans were tired of losing cattle and just wanted to get the hell out, so they were willing to take a hit financially. I don't think they were deliberately concocting lies, I think the stories were produced by the combination of the weird circumstances of the cattle deaths and the Sherman's preexisting superstitions. I think it absolutely became a grift as soon as Bigelow sold the ranch to Adamantium Holdings for $4.5 million. All roads going in were blocked off, and a security perimeter of fences and cameras was installed. They also applied for a trademark on "Skinwalker Ranch" which would allow for "providing recreation facilities; entertainment services, namely, creation, development, production, and distribution of multimedia content, internet content, motion pictures, and television shows," and an additional filing to use the trademark for various merchandise. Clearly, this Brandon Fugal guy learned about the ranch and its lore, and saw dollar signs.

One of the problems with Skinwalker Ranch is that the paranormal events rest solely on the testimony of those who SOLD the ranch (and stayed on), who had every incentive to make it juicy.

Interacting with random skeptics for hours isn’t exactly productive for a businessmen but I do believe it’s his passion.

And yet I find myself enjoying learning and chatting about it. And that I’m not quite a full skeptic because I believe that alien life exists, scattered across the Milky Way and beyond. But I can’t know what kinds of alien life is out there and it could range from simple single cellular alien life to ful interstellar sentients.

Considering how lethal this area is to cattle due to the likely presence of carcinogens, fossil fuel gasses, etc., I would say hallucinations from being slowly poisoned by their ranch was behind a good chunk of what the Shermans saw. I think they did see and experience things, but that doesn't make it supernatural. Combined with the psychological stress of losing so many cattle (which is ROUGH on small ranchers; they will likely know their stock by name and personality, not numbers), there's a lot of ground to here for the conditions that could lead to stress induced hallucinations brought on by chemical exposure.

Or option B where there was something there and he removed it and secured it in some military base or lab. And the new owners Brandon Fugal will never have any chance of finding out what is or was there that Bigalow removed or found out about.

I find Skinwalker Ranch hilarious with the manufactured drama and suspense. The funniest thing was the first season they were all about safety and no digging. They would fly Fugal in to discuss plans and they were all “Can’t dig! Not safe! Safety, safety safety! No digging! Safety! And the second season they decided “we’re gonna strap this guy to a tether and have him hang out the side of helicopter at 5,000 feet while we shoot rockets in the area! And the whole gang - “yeah let’s do that”! Because, you know, safety.

I lived in the Uintah Basin for a couple of years. Most people out there roll their eyes in disgust and exasperation when you mention the ranch. Humans are a gullible lot.

I think they form by a circular stream of whater, around the freezing point. so a patch of ice forms, and begins to rotate, while ice forms from the sides of the river. and because the patch in the middle rotates, the ice forms a perfeckt circle. when the circle and the sorrounding ice meets, the circle stops spinning and the ice fuses together, to form one continous path of ice, with a circle in the middle. i thik it is even possible to make a small skale experiment with a pump and some citchen stuff.

To make it even clearer to someone who might have low capabilities: I have no opinion on these alleged phenomena.

I REALLY wanted to see a good debunking. And there's a lot of innuendo here about dollar motivations. But this clip explores very little of the actual substance that interests us skeptics. The repeated video footage of UAFs in the show? How do you dismiss that? What are they filming? The helicopter and the altitude anomalies and the footage of being skimmed by something. . . how do you dismiss that? The 1.6ghz phenomena that's been measured around the experiments there, what's that? You can't just say "gas leaking out of the ground" like in this video, because that has nothing to do with radio and electromagenetic frequencies that broadcast across the entire spectrum, and that when rebroadcast distort the radio signal. What about the testimony of multiple military personal who have reported the "hitchhiker phenomena" along with extremely highly correlated health issues? Joe has clearly also read "Skinwalkers at the Pentagon" but completely skips most of the substance of the years of recently declassified government research. Are they ALL lying? The "Tic Tac" video and released evidence around that? These aren't just trailer park meth heads. . . this is an abundance of collected data from multi teams of researchers across the last 20+ years. How is THAT a grift? And what about the duplication of research? These aren't one-off's or unrecorded witness testimony. These are things that happen over and over, with repeated teams, over a period of years, and that we've seen duplicated and recorded. Money? All I see is that this has COST money to research. The biggest money incentive is this highly monetized KZreadr who doesn't actually explore much of what has actually been documented, and throws at big vague "grift" allegations that don't add up. Classic projection. THIS video is the grift. I LOVE skepticism because it helps us think critically. But this video was a fail. No one in the current team is claiming anything. They are all approaching this skeptically. There's no assertion the recorded phenomena are aliens, or demons, or fairies. But there are clearly phenomena occurring that aren't understood. And this video completely fails to address any of the evidence of unexplained phenomena.

As soon as I hear someone claim something is “millions of years old” I immediately know they have no idea what they are talking about.

My personal favorite embelishment is the VR Bigfoot. My working theory is that the Sherman's were losing money on the ranch, possibly bad soil, and added the spooky skinwalker and 1990s alien flair to unload the ranch

2 years later and the "history" channel still goes by the name "history channel"

I grew up in N Utah. I had never heard of Skinwalker Ranch until I moved away. It’s weird that locals aren’t focused on it at all.

There's a KZread video of an ice circle in action. It's just a stable slow moving eddy near the side of a slow river.

I've got some theories to explain some of the weird stuff: 1. the ice circle could be formed when hydrocarbons with the good proprieties are being released from the ground into the water, get trapped by ice, form a nice circle because its hydrophobic and then evaporate when the sun rises, leaving a nice circle of water in the ice. 2. The electromagnetic abnormalities could be due to the sudden release of radioactive material carried by hydrocarbons gas or just radon gas. We know from space science that ionising radiations can produce funny results in electronics and an antenna to measure electromagnetic abnormalities could be pretty sensitive to that. 3. The Cattle died because of a mix of ionising radiations and hydrocarbons exposure. All of those are just hypothesis. Joe super video! Sry for bad English

It’s the word “Skinwalker” that’s so unsettling, it makes you think of some animal or human, flayed, then someone or something walking around wearing the flayed skin, a gruesome, horrible and unnatural thought. Other than this word and its connotations, however, and the local tribes’ belief in the concept itself, there doesn’t seem substance to the strange stories.

I've had a morbid interest in the UFO scene, and followed the Skinwalker Ranch story, since the 80s, and I wouldn't say that the Ranch itself is "a grift"; The REALITY SHOW is grift, 100%- Like all that broad "ghost-hunter"/"Finding Bigfoot"/"UFO spotting" genre, they MUST produce """mysterious phenonemena""" every episode, or else they have no show. Any 10yo knows that NOT finding some unconvincing spookery, isn't an option, on those shows. But the story of the ranch itself makes perfect sense WITHOUT deliberate grifting- Dry, desert areas like that are ideal evironment for ball lightning, which fit the description of much of the early phenomena, which established the ranch's reputation. So the Shermans see real ball lightning events, but don't recognize them as ball lightning (since BL was only officially accepted by science, less than a decade ago. And is STILL "unexplained", despite being confirmed real)- To the Shermans, they genuinely believe they saw "some mysterious UFO activity", so now they're on the look-out for spooky "paranormal", "unexplained phenomena"... and so they see what they expect to see; Animal deaths that are inevitable on a ranch, become "cattle mutilations". Any noise you can't explain becomes "ghost activity", etc- In short, the Shermans sincerely spooked themselves. That's why they sold the place at a loss, have always avoided publicity, and have never really tried to capitalize on the "paranormal" meme. But by now, word's getting around about the Shermans' claims, and super-rich, long-time UFO-nut Bigelow turns up, setting up a well-funded but very secretive investigation team, to investigate the ranch, back in the 90s. THAT was like ringing the dinner-bell, for the conspiracy-theorist rumour-mill; A reclusive millionaire, known to be seriously studying the ranch (using supposedly reputable scientists), but without publishing the results of these studies, leaving the UFO scene to do what they do best- ie, Fill in the blanks with the most wild, exotic, wish-fullfilment speculation, possible. (But Bigelow's notorious secretive/reclusive tendencies are the exact opposite of what someone motivated by grifting, would do. AFAIK, The only time he made $$$ of the ranch, was when he sold it. But he could have made 100x MORE $$$, by selling books, tv rights, opening up to tourism, etc, and THEN selling, at an even more inflated price. Instead, he remained mostly silent, and conspicuously avoided hype and the spotlight) So by the time Bigelow was selling the ranch in the 00s (the height of the X-Files-fueled fad for UFOs and "the paranomal"), "Skinwalker Ranch" was getting extremely well-known, and that interest would intevitably drive up the price of the ranch- That's not a delibetrate "grift"; It's the inevitable result of public interest- Multiple people wanted in on the excitement of living on a "haunted ranch", plus the financial opportunities that come with that fame- Tourism (like the tourism that's surrounded Area 51, or Pt Pleasant's "Mothman" tourism, etc). Or the reality tv show. And basic economics means that, when you have multiple interested parties, price goes up. But the ranch itself isn't "a grift", any more than any other site that becomes well-known, and the focus of public interest. The people who've bought it NOW may be motivated by grifting (again, like any famous site will attract people trying to capitalize off that fame). But the people who built Skinwalker's rep, the Shermans, and Bigelow, were utterly inept, if they WERE trying to grift- They both blew just about every chance for cashing in on the Ranch, that they got...

I'm the same way. I'm on the younger side of adulthood, but when I was in my early/mid teens, I would watch every alien and paranormal show I could find on Netflix, with a smattering of astronomy and disaster shows (like how to survive the end of the world or evacuate Earth). I don't know when I started getting bored of them, and just watched science and space related documentaries, but it was entertaining when it lasted. Looking back, there was a lot of interesting info on urban legends and cryptids, and ideas and explanations that would make a pretty cool science fiction or fantasy story, so I just let my imagination run.

You hit the nail on the head...this stuff used to terrified me...

This video was released after the book "Skinwalkers in the Pentagon " was released in May 2021 - has this channel read it? This book was given security and release clearance by the Department of Defence. And featured a forward by Senator Harry Reid. It was released the month before the US Govt released their statement in June 2021 reconfirming that their "tic tac" footage was a genuine UAP, using technology unknown to either the US, Russia or China and also announcing the formal start of a UAP monitoring programme. The book also features several descriptions of unusual encounters, most with medical after effects as well as explaining the "hitchhiker" phenomenon in relation to key Intelligence Agents/Military victims. Given that the Govt gave clearance for a book that many pseudo sceptics would claim is about "nonsense" - a move which is unprecedented and huge in its implications - I think it's time to take things seriously. The book is an amazing, world-changing read.

Our entire community went through very terrifying things very similar to Skinwalker Ranch. Something killed my cousin`s animals....a dozen large deer hounds ripped to pieces in their pens, pony found dead 30 feet up in an oak tree, all his chickens dead. There were multiple UFOs seen in the area along with beings that tried to get into houses during the sightings. One hovered over the truck my brother and I were in and we had nearly four hours of missing time. Multiple witnesses, including myself, saw a large red glowing head putting off heat in our house. Giant birds were seen, and my cousin saw a large black flying creature right before he found his dogs dead, and my aunt saw it ripping branches from a large tree. I saw the damage it did to the tree and the limbs it snapped from the tree were several inches in diameter. Multiple members of my family lived on 30 acres there and we all moved. The family who bought our house abandoned it within weeks after all the doors flew off their hinges.

1st time watching your channel-you are hilarious!! Great job

I am on the Skinwalker Ranch skeptic bandwagon. My biggest question is: When the Shermans moved in they said that there were huge shutters & padlocks on the inside of of all of the windows & doors, which is unusual for a rural home... Why the huge security? (This is where my imagination goes into overdrive... Perhaps there is some type of drug cartel activity in the area & the Shermans wanted no part of it, or got on the wrong side of it - so the "paranormal" activity was actually things being done to warn them/keep them in line. To escape the situation they sold the property at a loss & to ensure they weren't putting anyone else in danger sold it to this research company as opposed to someone who would live there.) It sounds bizarre, I know, but I lived in a remote mountain town for a year that seemed like Mayberry on the surface & was actually fueled by organized crime.

what I learned was there was a bishop LDS one and he had people come to him with these unreal story's, so the Bishop took notes, then one day after not being a bishop anymore wrote a book about those unreal stories and some of this Paranormal activities were on or near that walker ranch.

The money didn't go into his pockets, it went to the study. Negative results in research doesn't make it a scam. A fortune in taxpayer money has been spent researching fusion power. With nothing to show for it. Its a failure not a scam. The F-35 program went billions over budget and they ended up with a jet that can't hold its own against a 30 year old Russian Mig. The program was an absolute waste but the intention was a good one. To make a better jet. They just failed. I wish every dollar spent on research yielded useful results but that's a foolish fantasy.

And that's not to mention the very obvious conflict of interest in giving grants to your friend, and frequent donor, to run any kind of experiments on their privately owned property with little scrutiny and less transparency.
