In a recent video from the YouTube channel CARC Universal, host Ryan Paul Tremblay delves into the fascinating and often misunderstood topic of Skin Walkers. As a paranormal enthusiast and curator of all things strange and unusual, I was immediately drawn to this video and felt compelled to share some of the interesting information I learned.
Skin Walkers, also known as Yinarushi in the Navajo language, are shamans who have dedicated themselves to the darker practices of the Navajo religion. These individuals have exiled themselves from their tribe and taken up residence in caves where they practice their dark arts and take on the form of different animals such as coyotes, mountain lions, hawks, and ravens.
One of the most interesting aspects of Skin Walkers is their ability to transform into four-legged or winged animals. According to Tremblay, this is done by wearing the pelt of the animal they wish to transform into, which requires them to kill the animal first. This is a major taboo in Navajo culture and is strictly forbidden.
The video also touches on the idea that Skin Walkers are not to be named, as saying their name is said to draw them in. However, Tremblay explains that this is based on intention and energy, and that saying their name will not necessarily attract them. He also mentions that there are other beings, such as pale humanoids or Ash men, that are often mistaken for Skin Walkers, but are actually completely different entities.
Another interesting bit from the video is that Skin Walkers are not to be trifled with. If a Skin Walker feels disrespected or threatened, they will use their powers to curse or even kill the offending party. This is why it is important to approach the topic of Skin Walkers with respect and caution.
As a Bigfoot enthusiast, I couldn't help but notice the similarities between Skin Walkers and the elusive Sasquatch. Both are often surrounded by myth and misconception, and both are deeply connected to the land and the spiritual beliefs of indigenous cultures. While Skin Walkers are often depicted as malevolent, Sasquatch is generally considered to be a benevolent and highly intelligent being.
In conclusion, the video from CARC Universal on Skin Walkers is a fascinating and disturbing look into a world that is often shrouded in mystery and misconception. As a curator of all things paranormal, I highly recommend checking out this video and delving into the world of Skin Walkers. Who knows, you may just learn something new and interesting. And as always, I encourage our readers to keep an open mind and to continue exploring the world of the unknown.
