4: Skinwalker Texas Ranger Part 2

This is part two of our three-part series wherein we explore even deeper into the mysteries of the Skinwalker, as well as the shamanic energies lurking behind this legend. We also discuss some of the mythic, anthropological, and psychological theories behind this phenomenon in an attempt to find an explanation for the consistent and disturbing encounters that continue across the southwest and beyond. You might want to bring some sage for this one.

 

Endless thanks to Mr. Tim Leavy @  timleavy.com for writing us the greatest theme song in the paranormal realms!
