What are Skinwalkers and where do they come from?
It started with a dumb idea, as most nights like this do. I couldn't sleep, so I figured, why not? Sneaking out was easy. My parents are heavy sleepers, and my window opened straight to the porch roof. Within five minutes, I was out the door, hopping onto my ATV with my phone buzzing in my pocket. I texted Ryan and Tyler to meet me at the grain silo. Bring whatever you've got, I wrote.
What happens during the first Skinwalker encounter?
By whatever, I meant beer, snacks, maybe something to make the night feel less boring. The woods always felt different at night, like they had secrets to share if you were stupid enough to listen. Tonight, I was stupid enough. The ride to the silo was uneventful, but the woods on either side of the dirt path felt… wrong. No crickets. No wind. Just the hum of my ATV and the crunch of gravel under the tires. I shook it off and reached the silo, parking near its rusted frame. Ryan and Tyler showed up minutes later, headlights cutting through the darkness like searchlights in enemy territory. Ethan, you're a lunatic for dragging us out here, Ryan said, grinning as he pulled out a six-pack from his bag.
Tyler followed, holding a flashlight and a bag of chips. Shut up. You'll thank me later. I shot back. But even as we laughed, I felt it. A weight in the air, like the woods were leaning in to listen. We hopped on our ATVs and headed toward the clearing. The ride was bumpy, the trees closing in as the path narrowed. Tyler's flashlight beam bounced wildly, catching shadows that moved just a little too fast. My heart thudded, but I kept my eyes forward, refusing to let my imagination get the better of me. The clearing came into view, a small circle of open space surrounded by towering oaks. I'd set it up months ago, dragging old lawn chairs and setting up a fire pit.
What eerie sounds do they hear in the woods?
The three of us killed the engines and the sudden silence was deafening. Ryan tossed some wood into the pit while I struck a match. Soon, flames danced and cracked, pushing back the darkness. The first beer cracked open, then another. We laughed, talked about school, and teased Tyler for being jumpy. The firelight played tricks on his face, making him look pale and wide-eyed. "'You guys ever hear about those things in the woods?' he asked, his voice low. "'Oh, great,' Ryan groaned. "'Here we go.' "'I'm serious,' Tyler said, leaning forward. "'My grandpa told me about these things. People see them out here sometimes. Tall, skinny, almost human, but not.' Yeah, yeah, and they eat kids like you, Ryan quipped, chucking an empty can at him.
Tyler ducked, but his eyes flicked to the trees again. He wasn't joking. I laughed it off, but Tyler's words stuck. The woods were so dark tonight, the kind of darkness that presses against your skin. The firelight only made it worse, creating shadows that felt too solid. That's when we heard it. A sound like, I don't know, like a growl, but deeper, almost guttural. It came from somewhere behind us, far enough to dismiss but close enough to set my teeth on edge. What the hell was that? Tyler whispered. coyotes ryan said though his voice lacked its usual confidence he tossed another log onto the fire and the sparks shot up like tiny fireworks the noise came again this time closer accompanied by the faintest snap of a branch my chest tightened i stood up trying to act casual
What shocking event occurs when they split up?
i'm going to check out that trail over there i said jerking my thumb toward a barely visible gap in the trees my stomach flipped as the words left my mouth but i couldn't back down now alone have fun getting eaten ryan joked though there was a hint of nervousness in his smirk i climbed onto my a t v heart pounding the growl came again this time sharper almost deliberate like it wanted me to hear i gunned the engine and rode into the darkness leaving the safety of the fire behind the trail was tighter than i remembered overgrown and barely navigable my headlights barely pierced the thick underbrush casting long eerie shadows the silence out here was even worse no bugs no birds just the low hum of my engine i should have turned back every instinct screamed at me to turn back but i didn't and then i saw them two glowing eyes in the distance Not reflective like a deer's, but glowing, a sickly amber that burned through the darkness.
