Skinwalker Ranch: No Trespassing

by Ryan Skinner, D.L. Wallace (With)

There is a piece of property in Utah that borders the Uintah-Ouray Indian Reservation in the north-east extent of the state that many believe to be a vortex of inter-dimensional and paranormal activity. Due to the untold number and frequency of unexplainable encounters this location has earned itself the name of Skinwalker Ranch. But the Skinwalker-a legendary creature feared back before the time of the Native Americans indigenous to the Great Basin-is only a small part of a phenomena that includes some of the most intense UFO sightings ever witnessed and recorded, inter-dimensional portals, intelligent orbs of energy, physical entities beyond identification and other real-life manifestations. For the first time you have the opportunity to hear the voices and words of those who have dared to enter into that vortex, to know of their experiences first hand, to separate truth from fiction and decide for yourself if the world is really what you think it is. Skinwalker Ranch No Trespassing is Ryan T. Skinner's second book exploring the paranormal activity associated with the property in north-east Utah. Unlike his first book which was drawn from his own personal experience and the deep emotional impact it had on him, this second work is a historical perspective that traces the origin of the Skinwalker back more than 3000 years up until the most recent sighting reported in and around the Great Basin and the Four Corners area of the United States, relying on and drawing from the stories and narratives of eye witnesses, including confidential sources with first person knowledge of and experience on and around the Skinwalker Ranch itself. Written with co-author D. L. Wallace, one of the field's most prolific ghost writers, Skinwalker Ranch No Trespassing is assured to bring you where you have never been before.

I purchased this book after the disappointing read provided by the Kellener/Knapp book on the same subject. I was familiar with Ryan Skinner and some of the stories in the book through radio interviews and podcasts I had heard. What sets this book apart is the variety of source material (an interview with a former Ranch owner; interviews with security guards from the Bigelow operation; visitors to the site and its surroundings; and residents from the Four Corners area), which works as a whole to paint a picture of the phenomena at the Ranch and possible reasons for it. Skinner and his co-author, D.L. Wallace, do a good job of explaining their approach and rationale for what is included. Some of the more provocative material is excerpts from reports from a Remote Viewing program focused on the Ranch as well as documents exchanged between Robert Bigelow's staff and MUFON. There is no question that there are many things happening at and near the Skinwalker Ranch. There is evidence of ancient entities and portals. If you want a good overview of the history of the area and the goings on at the Ranch through the eyes and reports of the key players, this is the book to read.

I really don't know what to think!

Yes, I do believe that something paranormal is going on in and around Skinwalker Ranch. However, this book did nothing to confirm my beliefs. I can understand, due to reasons of confidentiality, that correspondents and other sources of information had to remain unattributed. Unfortunately, many of the paranormal accounts seemed to come from highly suspect witnesses. These people may well honestly believe what they were recounting but, to me at least, and in the cold light of day they appeared to be the result of a fevered imagination.

The area of the Skinwalker Ranch has Utes, Navajos and other tribes. The author refers to an 'intense and ancient life force' being there. The habitation of the area goes back at least to 1200 B.C.E.

He notes the First People have a problem with poverty (which is not at all surprising considering how they have been treated). He also refers to pictographs in the area which is very important since they show things that people in the past thought were important enough to go to the hard work of making the images in the first place.

He defines skinwalker and notes the possibility of malevolent intention. He gives the location and history of the ranch , discusses crop circles and cattle mutilation, portals, NIDS, MUFON, dog-like creatures and bug-like creates.

Lights in the sky are also covered as well as shadow creatures, Bigfoot, fuel rods, remote viewing, orbs and how to attract them, dark shadows on photos and the problem of batteries in devices losing their charge.

There are other topics discussed and a lot of footnotes.

There's a lot in this book and it seems to do a decent job of covering the topic of the Ranch in some depth.

Informative

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very interesting, things happen that no one can explain. Are they really true? You have to either experience it or else be a believer.
A great read anyway!

[Dchamp · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really interesting book! Lots of details you had most likely never heard before, and interviews that leave you shocked.
Highly recommended!

Good read

Been through the area numerous times while trucking. Fascinating area of the country. The 1st nation people are very quiet about what goes on there

[Meghan · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book provided a lot more background information into the area around Skinwalker Ranch, the people and organizations involved in research, and the cultural significance of the area and the Skinwalker. While it was interesting to read first-hand reports of guards attempting to record and contact phenomena, it became very difficult to digest. It was very easy to be bogged down by information that felt repetitious and unending with very little conclusions.

[Will · Rating 4 out of 5]

Background, research, and a collection of short stories regarding the infamous Skinwalker Ranch. I read this when I didn't know much about the phenomenon and it was a great introduction to the subject. Some of the tales get a little far-fetched, so as anything in this field you have to take them with a grain of salt. Still, there are great fantastical stories in this one.

[Kimberly Robello · Rating 3 out of 5]

It lagged in the middle because it was more like reading a report log sheet with too many times, dates, and very little happening. The last few chapters were really interesting, though. Those last few chapters make the book worth reading.

[Randi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Poorly written, extremely boring, reads as though it wasn't edited, and no sources. I put it down early on. There are better books on the topic.
