The Skin Walkers
Horror Stories - The Skin Walkers
Some people say this legend is one of the scariest legends they have ever heard. I have to admit it is a little scary. This legend is about skin walkers and basically what a skin walker is is a human who can shed its flesh to become a animal. This originated from the Navajo Indian tribe. Skin walkers are said to be witches who can change into a bear, Fox, eagle, crow, owl, and raven when they were the pelts of the animal.
Some other people say that they believe they will and can steal a persons face and if you make eye contact with them you will then freeze up due to fear and then they will absorb themselves into your body. The skin walkers only travel during the night time. They can also run faster then any car and jump any cliff without any effort.
If a skin walker was to follow you home they would then beat on the walls, windows, and even climb on top of the roof to try to scare you out. Spreading terror is not only what they are known for but it also increases their power which is used to cause unfortunate accidents and even death to those who have wronged them. Even though these skin walkers usually only torment those in the tribe there have been more recent cases of sightings from outsiders.
One was of an Arizona woman who was delivering some newspapers on an early morning with her child in the passenger seat. She then began to hear scratching noises at the door before it suddenly flew open to reveal a half-man half-beast with glowing red eyes. As the beast reached for the child she sped off down the road. She thought she had gotten away from the beast but when she looked to the side she was greeted with horror because the beast was running alongside the car and was able to keep up with the high speeds the skin walker then began pounding on the doors for miles.
Eventually the woman reached a convince store and ran in and started screaming. She then told the employees what happened and the employees then rushed outside to investigate but the skin walker was gone. Navajo myth says that these humanoids was actually started off as medicine men or healers of the said tribe. These healers were taught rituals that could change them into animals in time of need as when the tribes people would become deadly ill.
When they would change the man could then gather up all the healing herbs he needed more quickly as well as travel places that the Navajo couldn't reach like high mountain regions. So originally they were only made to help the Navajo but that turned out horrible because now they only bring horror.
