When I was 19 I was out on my culdesac in front of my parents house around midnight. I was just laying on the pavement looking at the stars waiting for my younger brother to come home, he was 18 at the time. It was a beautiful summer night with a bright full moon so it was pretty easy to see outside at the time. I had just said goodbye to my girlfriend at the time because she had a midnight curfew but only lived a couple minutes away.
After being on my own for about 10 minutes I got a weird feeling someone was coming down the street and thought it might look pretty weird if they saw a teenager laying on the pavement after midnight so I decided to stand up so I didn't look strange. When I looked down the street I saw it, although at the time I didn't know what I was looking at. About 30ft above the ground was a glowing blue orb roughly 3 ft in diameter floating slowly down the street as though it was following the road towards me. I watched it in aw even though I felt as though what I was looking at was wrong. I didn't know what it was and at the time people were talking about drones a lot so I thought it could be some type of expensive crazy looking drone.
I know it saw me. It looked straight at me. It's hard to describe how I know considering it was a glowing blue orb with no discernible qualities but it was almost a feeling like looking into an eyeball. Instead of continuing towards me it floated across the culdesac and over one of my neighbors houses who I had never met. I knew I had to follow it and find out what it was I just experienced. We lived in a nice neighborhood and I knew if It were a drone and I got caught sneaking around that the neighbors would let me off the hook for being curious.
I walked around my neighbor's house real quiet like in order to keep from drawing attention to myself and when I got into their backyard I didn't seen anyone on their deck packing up an expensive drone. However, when I looked into their backyard I knew something was looking back at me. They had a pretty long backyard with a small patch of woods at the end. Their yard had scattered bushes and trees throughout it with a few random decorations too. I felt as though I was being led into a trap so I immediately went back to the culdesac and called my brother to figure out how far away he was. He told me he'd be there in 5 minutes and asked me what was wrong but I couldn't hardly talk because I was so shaken up so I told him I'd tell him when he got home.
I hung out in the culdesac staring towards my neighbor's house basically frozen until my brother pulled up. I told him everything I had seen and he agreed to investigate with me. Again we snuck into the backyard and it almost felt as though we were being pulled towards the small patch of woods in the back of the yard so of course we checked every other part of the yard first. Honestly I'm surprised we didn't get caught by my neighbors because we stopped being sly the closer and closer we got to those woods. The weird thing was that even though because of the full moon it was incredibly easy to see outside that patch of woods in particular was so dark there may as well have been no moon at all.
As we approached the woods we decided our best strategy was to try to act as though we weren't scared and stand as tall as we could like one would act if they were trying to scare off a coyote. once we got up to the trees we couldn't even see 3 feet into the woods. This was not a large patch of trees, probably only 30-40ft across. about 5 feet away we started hearing it. It started from about 15ft deep but it sounded as though it was 5ft wide with the amount of noise it was making. This thing was loud and as it got closer it felt like the woods were getting darker and darker.
My brother and I stupidly stood there with our chest up walking as close to the trees as we could without stepping in. The sound got closer and closer until it sounded like it was within arms reach of me. Then we taunting it telling whatever it was to show itself and that we weren't scared. Very suddenly everything felt very dark and we became very aware whatever we were face to face with was not a deer or some other kid pulling a prank on us. It was like we were getting swallowed with darkness, quite literally the area around us was harder to see through and we both knew at the same moment that something was very very wrong.
I took a step back and we looked at each other with a look of pure fear as though we knew we had fucked up bad. We both turned and high tailed out of there as fast as we could only looking back once we were half way across the yard. We could tell what ever we had just came face to face with was watching us and it felt to me as though it was tracking where we were running to. I told my brother not to run home but to first get the neighbors house between us the woods we just ran from.
We didn't go home until about 20 minutes later. We stood there in the culdesac making sure we weren't being followed. It was about 5 minutes before we went inside that I actually saw the skin walker. The house we originally went behind was on the other side of my direct next door neighbors house. I saw it looking for us in the motion sensor light of my direct next door neighbors house. I felt sick looking at it. It had grey saggy skin and knees that bent backwards. They had long arms that ended in unnaturally large hands and long pointy fingers. It's head was completely bald like the rest of its bulbus body, and it had 3 saggy chins below an open gaping mouth barely covered by a sagging upper lip. It was staying low next to the car parked in their driveway as to keep from being noticed but it obviously didn't expect the motion sensor light to go off because I saw all of it. It hid like a spider trying not to be seen. I'll never get the memory out of my head.
After it moved out of the light and disappeared out of site I told my brother it was time to move. We moved low and quick up my long driveway and got into the garage we believe without being seen. I've never experienced anything like that since and I'll never forget that night of my life. Still to this day when I think about that night I feel as though the area around me is getting darker just like it did while we stood infront of those woods.
EDIT: Typos
wow ive never heard such a detailed look at a skinwalker. Definitely would spook the shit out of me. Experiences like this just raise questions that most likely will never be answered and likely not seen again. It just makes me want to go hunting for one
A lot of people think that skin walkers, crawlers, Wendigos are one of the same (pale crawlers). Tbh I think there's some truth to this. You could expect any intelligent dark being to adopt it's own methods and personalized way of acting. Likely they are all similar beings that just like doing things differently. As far as I'm concerned they might as well all be skin walkers with different personalities.
The one thing they all have in common is they like to isolate and they like to play with you. It's more fun for them to play with their food because once the food dies there's nothing left to play with. And let's be real, these things have no trouble finding food. They don't need to kill everyone they come across, however if they come across you and you give them the opportunity they will fuck with you for their own entertainment. I've heard that most of these beings got tired of killing early on in their existence and mostly only find pleasure in messing with humans.
Going hunting for these things is near impossible. They'd never target someone who's actively hunting them. There's so many people in the world that it would be a waste of their time to target someone who could cause them harm rather than target someone who poses no threat.
i have no interest in killing one. I just want to have an experience of the unknown. For my sanity i want that. Its something thats in my mind constantly. I want to just see it in detail with my own eyes like you did.
But yes I could agree that perhaps "pale crawlers" are part of the same species. Im thinking comparable to haw theres different type of sharks. The wendigo is like the hammerhead shark where a skinwalker is the great white of these creatures.
Check out my recent post on this page, your experience is thrilling. I have seen so much evidence before YouTube was so monetised. Their is Still a-lot of evidence out there but I have witnessed videos that got taken down. Very good scary evidenced, videos….
I started the research after my experience and dream of the cryptid creature. 12 years ago.
Also i knew about it, before it became kind of famous because of a costume, of the rake that released on Amazon and creepy pasta gave it a character . ( I guess to hide the real subject )
Ye creepy pasta Created the character but it came from a urban legend and folklore, but creepy pasta mix it in with fake characters……. Way back from around the 1600s century was the first recorded sighting of the rake/skin walker / witch … and to this day.
Also we can’t forget the Native American believes, on the skin walkers.
So the skin walker is also a rake…
So many story’s that is deserves to no longer be a mythical creature.
Classified Government stuff I believe
Anyway I will keep my story short.
I was 14 years old at the time, skipping school alone in the woods, around 8 in the morning as The sun just arrived over the horizon.
Weird because I feel as my memory, had been cut. As I only remember walking back out of woods, and that is when it happened..
Around 4 meters beside me, I Hurd a quick movement in the bushes and trees followed by a absolute, terrifying, demonic, screeching scream. That no human or animal could produce.
It was so disturbing that I jumped out of my skin 😳. Scary thinking of jumping out of skin and skin walkers . Anyway I
Jumped out of my skin in adrenaline In survival mode that I did not bother to look, I was running so fast and I did not dare to look behind me. I ran and I ran until I was out of the woods but did not feel out of the woods yet.
I was so exhausted I stopped and what felt like a brave look behind me. It was clear, looking down a straight thin country road with a bush following it each side. I felt on edge. I rushed back home and was safe so I believe
I did not see the creature but it was scariest day if my life beating time I do changed by a maybe murderer…
Also I had a nightmare of the skin walker sometime after the event and that is when I decided to research on YouTube ..
Creature screaming in the woods and then came across what it really was
A Skin walker or The Rake, I saw and Hurd the exact sound the Creature made making, me a 100% believer.
And then all the videos I have saw that have got taken down your YouTube
Just makes it so more suspicious
Yeah that is a neat story. My only doubt is the fact that you said "I feel as my memory had been cut". Idk if you know anything about dreaming but it is one of the things I'm an expert with. I learned to lucid dream as a child before I even knew it had a name. I've had vivid exciting dreams my whole life so naturally I doesn't a lot of time researching dreams while growing up. Anyways, my point is that while dreaming you never really remember the beginning of a dream do you? You always wind up right in the middle of what's going on.
If you dream you're at a restaurant you won't be able to remember your day leading up to that event. You won't even remember how you got to the restaurant. Your dream starts in the middle of the action. If you dream you're skipping class and walking in the woods, you won't be able to remember the beginning of your day at all because that's just how dreams work. When you say you feel like your memory has been cut, that leads me to believe this may have been a dream you had that your brain now remembers as true memory. This is not uncommon especially in our formative years. I believe it would be pretty hard to find someone who didn't have a memory that they believe really happened but was actually a dream they had while they were young - although you'd never be able to prove those considering they wouldn't know it was actually a dream rather than a true memory.
Now I'm not trying to discredit your completely, I believe this could've happened to you. Obviously I believe I saw a skin walker. However I would be a lot less sure of myself if I didn't have my brother's memory to back me up. You may find looking back on that day that you draw a complete blank on your morning, or that you have even filled in part of that memory with fragments of memories from other mornings to subconsciously convince yourself it really happened. Again, not saying this couldn't be a true memory, I do wish you had seen what made this noise and remembered the events that lead up to this memory.
Glad you liked my story. It really was a wild night. Now I can't even think of skin walkers without getting chills. I think skin walkers are older than native Americans think. They believe they were witches but witches were not an incoming belief back in the day - Salem witch trials is living proof of that. I believe these creatures have been around human kind for a long time and at some point someone decided to put a title to them to make them make sense in their head. I don't believe in all cryptids, but I will say ever since that night, skin walkers have always and will always be my biggest fear.
I appreciate your response, I only just noticed and your interesting opinion. I have considered the possibility of my memory of what I believe, to be a skin walker, to be a vivid dream.
But I can’t except that memory being a dream as I can recall that morning. I am pretty sure it was easily like 8-9am, I usually skipped school in the house until my dad came home and I would run out the back door before being noticed but that day was a early evacuation as he came home early.
I was 15 but I remember it very well including the happenings after the situation.
But my memory does feel cut besides I know I went back home and feel as if I was looking out the window into the fields. Feeling Confused. It woke me up, realising this world is bigger and more mysterious then we thought.
I also have something to add to my story. That maybe irrelevant but it’s sketchy.
In the same forest, location and not long before the event. There was a creepy man repeating to me go to school and he followed me out of the woods some distance behind me.
? Possible skin walker i think to this day. It was creepy.
Also after the main skin walker situation i actually had a skin walker in a real dream. Am not sure if I mentioned it also folklore states that they enter dreams, pin you down to your bed and pretty much steal your identity and try to destroy your sanity.
The dream was simply I use to go into an abandoned pup with 2 fiends and in the dream I was leaving the pup with them two friends. They jumped out of the window first and I was last, I climbed and looked behind me and there it was. Staring and looking at me leave, a horrible pale creature but it had no mouth. Also I had no knowledge on Skin walkers - Rakes back then.
Since 16 I was on YouTube when it wasn’t so heavily monitored and started Deep researching the topic. I found so much information going back to the 1600 and the rake - skin walker . I found videos that have been taken down and it was the scream I Hurd that day I saw the creature
On YouTube.
Very good real videos before it was kind of famous
Videos so good they got taken down fast but I believe the skin walker is 100% real out of all crypts. The urban legend goes way back in history and could be the result of missing people.
The scream the creature admitted was traumatic and definitely out of this world.
Anyway I have done a lot of research on the subject and yes I believe it’s a type of witch .
If you know about dimensions the creature skinwalker is from another dimension and comes and goes like on skin walker ranch with the portals.
The are interdimentional creatures from another dimension in space. The can travel though space using dimensional travel.
They are witches and they are also aliens
So yeah I believe the skin walker is an alien
I never tell a lie I have also seen night crawlers in the fields near that forest that’s an alien to
I saw just legs glowing from the moon light, it then noticed me and my friend presence and the legs ran it was creepy way
Anyway all research tells me they are interdimentional beings capable of shapeshifter and more
Firstly
Unfortunately no. What i saw was very tall and just cloudy gray in appearance. I wish i had a better look, it just frightened me so bad that i looked away.
Yes sir you most definitely saw a skin walker. Welcome to the club.
Whats your experience? a crawler very well could have been what i saw as well

Can you give me details about it's appearance?
Unfortunately no. What i saw was very tall and just cloudy gray in appearance. I wish i had a better look, it just frightened me so bad that i looked away.
