Yeah, like Hollywood gets anything right. :p

I really enjoyed the program. Most of it was filmed not far from my house. I live between Farmington and Shiprock and recognized all of the landmarks. I wish they would have elaborated more on the skinwalkers but I'm really surprised they said as much as they did. Great show.
So it was on tonight then?

Do you know of anywhere to watch it online? I don't get the Nat Geo channel. Cheap ass basic cable. lol

They scare the fuck out of you because you believe in the hype. While that guy in the pic you posted does look scary, he couldn't survive a bullet nor do anything supernatural.
Magic in older times just meant people knew something you didn't and used it against you. They could have blown a simple powder drug on you, like inhaling some natural lsd from rhy bread and next thing you know, you would die or be tripping hardcore and believing every second of it, but that's not supernatural.

We would appear supernatural to people of previous generations with our technologies and tricks also.

Is there evil in the world? You bet, evil people that's all. Someone is going to take advantage of your superstition if you feed the fear, and there is a reason for all this recent upsurge in supernatural tv shows and religion stuff. Just wait for jesus's, moses's, buddha's or whatever supposed 2nd coming and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Notice I said supposed, as in project bluebeam.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Come out here and experience it yourself. Most people that move out here say the same things and even laugh at us until they have their own experience.

True I haven't, I also refuse to believe in supernatural things which have no basis in proof or facts and are just legend.

What would convince me is runnning one over with your car, or shooting one point blank knowing you hit it, and seeing it magically survive unscathed not leaving a trail of human blood etc.

If you come across one, the way you think it will kill you anyway will you run scared like a girl on tv running from jason and tripping on her high heels, or isn't it worth trying to kill it? I mean you think you're going to die from it either way right, so I'd take the chance no matter the odds. Project bluebeam.

They are the antithesis of everything Navajo Spirituality represents. The way of the Navajo is called Hozho Naasha or The Way of Beauty. The word Hozho has no translation in English. It means Harmony/Balance/Beauty all rolled up into one. The skinwalkers practice the opposite of this and do everything they can to destroy hozho. They have certain gifts that come with being a skinwalkers. They can jam guns, stall cars, make you immobile, make you sick, kill you, run as fast as car doing about 60, they can assume the form of certain nocturnal animals by wearing their skins but maintain human intelligence. Hence the term skinwalkers.

They perform Navajo healing ceremonies backwards and can curse bones and other items which they can transfer under your skin causing you to become ill or even kill you. They are also said to be able to "sing" corpses out of the ground and pervert them. They then grind the body parts/bones into what is called corpse powder. They blow it on you with a small bone tube which can kill you. Traditional Navajo carry the antidote in their Jish (small bag worn around the neck) and it must be administered immediately.

They can do a bunch of other things that I don't feel comfortable talking about after dark. They are said to know when you're talking about them and it can solicit of visit.
Where can I sign up? I'd love to have powers like that :)
