BONUS Remastered Episode 3: Skinwalker Texas Ranger Part 1 (orig. air date 26 Sept 2023)

Hello, fellow paranerdalists! We are taking a bit of a hiatus in order to bring you remastered versions of our episodes 3 & 4, which is MOZ's original Skinwalker Saga that started his investigation of the Global Shamanic Shapeshifting Complex. The original version of episode 3 was particularly rough, as we weren't super savvy with the production process, but we've come a long way, and this remaster will give all you listeners out there a much better experience than the original. Episode 4 will be out next week, and we will resume our typical new content after that. Thank you all for listening. Original show notes are below. Enjoy!

Part one of a three-episode deep dive into the world of the Native American Skinwalker. This episode explores the mischief and mayhem of one of the most notorious creatures stalking the western wastes. We explore the totem phenomenon and the commonalties of Skinwalker encounters before looking into a number of related creatures across the globe who share some of this hideous fiend’s traits.
