3: Skinwalker Texas Ranger Part 1

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.
