This didn't happen to long ago. it was august of 2022 in California.
i don't even know why it caught our attention, but me and my cousin encountered a skin walker.
we were on a camping trip with our youth group. we had been there for 24 hours. the girls of the group including us went hiking at night to go to a special point where we could star gaze. when we got there, i had an uneasy feeling which was mostly because we were resting on a cliff edge. we had been sitting/ laying for 15 minutes when i heard a rustling in the trees down the hill. i turned on my flashlight and watched the treeline, uneasy. my cousin asked me if i was okay. i didn't say much other than "I heard something". so, to humor me, everyone turned on their lights and pointed them at the treeline. we saw a deer run behind a small tree. out of the other side of the tree an owl flew out behind another tree away. running from that tree there was a coyote. they couldn't explain the animals. none of us could. but then, an owl flew back towards the first tree but we didn't hear the wings in the branches if it landed. out leader decided that it was time for us to head back. so we clambered down the hill back onto the pathway to head back to camp. i stayed at the back of the group, watching the land around us, uneasy. we were being followed and watched.
We didn't see it again. But it felt wrong. It felt evil.
