Lauren called in to describe her sighting:
“This was about 12 years ago or so. Every week our church would have a meeting in downtown Portland right near the Broadway bridge and one gentleman, he came up and he chatted with our pastor. I got a weird feeling or vibe from him. You could kinda feel a weird vibe from the whole area. He asked for a blanket and some assistance and if we had a place for him to stay. And at that point, he kind of looked over and he had completely black eyes. My mom got really scared and shoved us kids under the table that we were at and peeking out from underneath the table, he completely shifted and changed like his facial features changed. His hands kind of elongated and he crouched down like a wolf and, being a Christian church, they started praying and saying, like, Satan get out of here and stuff. At that, he scampered off across the street and out of sight. It was a scary sight and being younger, throughout the years I wondered, did I just imagine that? But just hearing you say that (Clyde's topic that evening was on BEKS and skinwalkers) and hearing that these sightings have happened before, just sent goosebumps down my spine, like, Oh my god, that's exactly what happened to me. And, you know, we all witnessed it, it wasn't just me.”

Traditional Religion Waning
The growing popularity of "New Age" beliefs likely stems in part from fewer Americans following traditional religions, according to political analyst Ruy Teixeira.
"The data suggests this is the fastest growing religious group in America, are people who don't hold any firm religious beliefs," Teixeira, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, said Wednesday on Hill.TV's "What America's Thinking."
"Perhaps these New Age beliefs are in a sense, at least partially, a reflection of more and more people not having an orthodox religious set of beliefs," he added.
Teixeira was discussing a recent Pew Research Center poll that found 62 percent of Americans hold New Age beliefs, such as astrology and the presence of spiritual energy in trees or mountains.
Seventy-eight percent of those who held at least one New Age belief said they did not affiliate with any particular religion. Read more at Analyst says 'New Age' beliefs more popular as fewer Americans follow traditional religions
