Skinwalkers have been in the eye of popular culture in 1996. But, had been in the world since 1868 when the Navajo, a southwestern native American tribe, was established.

Yee naaldlooshii, which translate to "With it, he goes on all fours." is the navajo name for a skinwalker. They are harmful witches that have been granted the power to shapeshift. Their magic is done with the intent to commit murder. The process of becoming a Yee naaldlooshii is more or less unknown, but it is said in legends that they are to murder someone close to them. A loved one or family member.

Skinwalkers can take the form of any animal they want, though they are known to take the form of a kanenine, such as dogs, wolves, foxes, or coyotes. Though many stories have stated that they've seen a skinwalker in the form of a deer. They wear the skin of the animal the wish to transform into, and they will become that animal.

In the legends from the Navajo, a Skinwalker will not have a tail, and their eyes will look way to human for the animal they're trying to mimic. They've also been known to be able to run over 200 miles without stopping.

The following is a story from about their experience with a Skinwalker.


Legend states that the only to kill a Skinwalker is to track them down. Learn their true human identity. In other words, their full name. The Skinwalker has been said to either become very sick and will eventually die. Or they die on the spot from all the evil things they have done.
