"He ran at full speed. He had long dark hair and piercing eyes, and a nose like a muzzle but to a point, like a coyote. As he ran, he turned to me and bared his teeth!"
I received the following account:
"Hello, Lon. I recently came across your site. Now, I rarely tell this story because of what I want others to believe about me, and because it truly scares me. In fact, it scares me more than anything else in my life. More than my rational fears, more than any real risk. This is the most terrifying experience of my life.
It was 2008. I was recently married and my wife and I had driven to Las Vegas from Flagstaff, Arizona for dinner. After an evening there we were driving back because we had no money for a hotel. I hadn't been drinking, I was of a stable mind. It was late and I was a bit tired but I was young and had some coffee. It is after midnight, and lightly snowing. My wife was asleep next to me as I drove, and I was listening to some AM country music. I like drives like that, I just relax and think.
I don't believe in the supernatural. Even when I was a Christian I was never very into the ethereal world of angels and demons and ghosts. I never felt very 'spiritual.'
But as I drove along, on this empty road, I thought I heard my wife say something. I looked at her, and she was asleep, but I looked through her window and saw someone or something running next to my car.
He was about the height of the truck, maybe a little taller. He ran at full speed. He had long dark hair and piercing eyes, and a nose like a muzzle but to a point, like a coyote. He had a beaded shirt, with beads that made a shallow 'V' across his chest. His arms were scrawny and his face sunken, and hairy. As he ran, he turned to me and bared his teeth.
I immediately lost all breath from my lungs and was frozen. I gripped the wheel to control the vehicle, turned away from him, and looked back. He was losing lateral distance from the vehicle but still keeping pace. I turned back to the road and hit the gas.
I looked over again and he was gone. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw nothing in the road. Nothing ahead. I sat frozen holding the wheel and speeding down the road. I hadn't made a noise, my wife hadn't woken up. I didn't say anything, I didn't stop the rest of the way either.
When I got to Flagstaff I woke my wife and we went to bed but I could not sleep. Even as I write this I have a terrible feeling of dread. I've spent tons of time in the desert, in the forest, camping, and hiking. I feel fine at night in a cemetery. I have seen flying objects and assumed a logical reason for them. But I have no explanation for what happened that night. I saw that. It happened. Maybe I fell asleep, maybe it was a dream, but I don't personally believe it. That thing was there.
Years later I recounted this story to someone who lived in the area, who is Navajo. They told me that what I saw was a skinwalker, and it made sense. Right now I'm afraid, a grown man can be drawn close to tears from this. I don't believe in gods, I don't believe in angels or ghosts. But I believe in skinwalkers." N
