Once there were these two friends, named Kate and Anne. Kate and Anne would always have sleepovers together, sometimes they would tell ghost stories. Kate believed in Skinwalkers and would always tell stories of them turning into animals and knocking on people's windows. Anne however never truly believed these stories.... That day Anne was going over to Kate's house for a sleepover after school. Kate Lived on a reservation, not to far from the school. But it was a bit of a drive. When Kate's mom and dad pulled up in their red pick up truck they hopped in the back. Then started talking until they rode past the sign that read "Entering Aneth Reservation" right after they passed the sign Anne saw a black shadow run across the corner of her vision. "Di-did you see that?" She asked.
"See what?" Said Kate.
"Um... Never mind." said Anne as a shiver ran down her spine.
Kate changed the subject and Anne soon forgot about The shadow. When the car stopped at Kate's house they got out carrying Anne's bag and pillow Anne heard a noise and turned. Standing on the other side of the road was a black cat just watching her. "Oh look it's a stray cat!" Said Anne.
Then Kate turned "Where?" She asked excitedly.
But then it disappeared. "It was right there and now it's gone." Anne said pointing to where the black cat had been.
But Kate grabbed her hand and pulled her inside the house. They hurried into Kate's bedroom that she shared with her older sister. But tonight Kate's sister would sleep in the living room so they could have the room all to their selfs. When everyone was asleep the two friends stared watching movies on the television. After a while Kate started doing Anne's hair when all of a sudden she heard some knocking on the window.... turning she saw that the shade was down and thought it nothing. Then she heard it again and the neighbors dogs started barking. "Do you hear that?" Kate said a little creeped out.
"Hear what?" Asked Anne.
"Oh never mind...." Said Kate, her eyes still on the window.
After Kate finished, Anne went to the bathroom to check her hair... And left Kate alone. Suddenly Kate heard the knock again and she turned and ran out of the room her heart pounding! Anne came out of the bathroom and was surprised to see Kate shivering in the hallway. "You ok?" She asked.
"No there's something outside knocking on the window! I-I think it's a skinwal-"

"Don't worry it's probable nothing." interrupted Anne. She went into the room and lifted her hand to pull open the shade when there was a knock. Anne ran back out of the room. "Oh my gosh!" Said Anne shaking with fear.
"I told you!" Said Kate.
"Where are we gonna sleep now?" Said Anne her eyes wide.
"We could sleep in the living room." Kate suggested.
"Ok." Whispered Anne.
The two girls grabbed a blanket, from the closet, and went into the living room. They sat on the couch, next to the one Kate's sister was sleeping on. Then they pulled the blanket over their heads. " This is creep...." Said Kate through heavy breathing.
"Yeah!" Said Anne shaking hard. suddenly a car went by. Anne and Kate grabbed each other's hands. "It was just a car." Breathed Kate.
The fire in the fire place cracked and they jumped, then calmed down. After around midnight they started to go to sleep. Then there was a creak.... The both of the girls eyes shot open. Then a sound of a door creaked open.... Anne grabbed Kate's hand and squeezed as if saying goodbye. Then there was a big crash and the sound of whatever fell being picked up.... Kate quickly woke up her big sister. "There's a Skinwalker!" She cried.
"What?! Really where?"
Kate and Anne told the story.
"Well if anything else happens then tell me." She said then went back to sleep. Suddenly there was a again knock on the bed room window.
"Should we wake her?" Asked Anne
"I don't know."
"What about your mom and dad?" She asked.
"I don't think so."
Anne sighed and looked to the bedroom. "We could open the curtain...." she said with a curious look.
"No!!!" What if it kills you!?"
But she went to the bed room anyway. Kate hurried after her.
"No, don't do it!!!" But when she ran into the room... Anne wasn't there. "No..." she said her eyes filled with tears.
"Anne? Where are you?!" She whispered.
Then she looked to the window. It was open and then shade was blowing in the wind. "Anne?" Tears now streaming down her face.
Kate started shaking all over. Then the door shut. She turned, it was pitch black. "H-hello?" Her legs started to grow weak and she sank to the ground, her eyes wide with fear. Then a figure of a person walked through the window. It howled loudly. Then walked over with its claws ready to grab its pray. Then Kate screamed and was gone.
Kate's older sister was the only one who had a clue of what had happened and so they story of the Skinwalker spread across town and soon everyone had moved far away... And no one ever saw Kate and Anne again....

This is a partly true story of me (Anne) and my friend (Kate). Except we never died. But I've heard that Skinwalkers can erase your memory so who knows we could have died.... But ever since that sleepover I have believed in them.
If you would like to hear the real story ask in comments.

Next is a true story of my aunt and uncle on their honeymoon.
