• Skinwalker Ranch

  Skinwalker Ranch is a paranormal hotspot legend centered on a ranch in Utah’s Uintah Basin that became famous for reports of UFOs, lights, strange animals, livestock mutilations, poltergeist-like events, and other forms of “high strangeness.” Although the wider basin had earlier UFO and supernatural lore, the ranch entered national consciousness in the mid-1990s through reporting on the Sherman family’s claims and the subsequent purchase of the property by Robert Bigelow for organized investigation. It later became one of the most famous paranormal sites in the United States through books, private research, government-linked interest, and television.
