Product Description

Synopsis

The true story of one of the most bizarre scientific investigations in modern history. A young family purchases a picturesque property in northeastern Utah, unaware of its 50-year history of chilling, inexplicable events. Suddenly, all hell breaks loose. Some of the prize herd of cattle is brutally killed; others vanish mysteriously. The family regularly sees unexplained flying lights over their house and encounters strange creatures that appear out of nowhere and disappear just as mysteriously. Tormented by these bizarre incidents and facing economic ruin, they call in the scientists..."Hunt for the Skinwalker" is the true story of how a well-funded team of research scientists set about studying a stream of anomalous encounters on this remote Utah ranch. With their backgrounds in mainstream physics, biochemistry and veterinary studies, the team ventured into the darkest corners of the mysterious Skinwalker ranch in an objective search for data...and explanations.

Describing one of the most detailed and multi-faceted research projects ever conducted on a paranormal 'hot spot', this firsthand account by Kelleher, the leader of the team, and Emmy Award-winning journalist George Knapp, tries to make sense of the perplexing episodes and, in the process, points the way forward to a new understanding of reality itself.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Poor Book, 9 Jul 2006
By R. B. Wood - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am afraid this book is not for the serious fortean researcher, for a start much of it is related to second hand witness accounts, which may be true but the author makes no attempt at critical analysis. He also commits the cardinal error of over dramatising the events when he was not there to witness them himself.

No explanation is given to why the events all but stopped when the Gormans moved out, for in reality they did leaving the investigators to investigate what could have been clever hoaxes or natural phenomena, in fact in becomes painfully obvious as the book proceeds that following the purchase of the ranch by NIDS nothing really happened that could not be explained away or was a hoax.

There is also much padding in the book the author regales us with his opinion of Masonic history (which is open to question) on the some pretexts or other

The book is full of contradictions, but the most glaring of all is that there are no photographs considering all the reported things going on you would think that a few plates would be included.

In short this is a poor book, whilst it may interest those with only a light understanding or the credulous, for many people it will leave them feeling very disappointed

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect too much., 7 Jul 2008
This books starts well, with some nerve-jangling goings-on in the midwest, with suggestions that some primal magic might be involved. Indeed, it almost felt like 'The Amityville Horror' had been transplanted a thousand miles west.

Then the author gets involved personally, and the book goes straight downhill. The team of investigators sets up on the ranch, monitors for months, even buys the place... the the book stops.

No conclusions, no more scary stuff, no interesting encounters, not even any wild theorising.

I've seldom been quite so disappointed with an ending to a book. It scrapes two stars for making the hairs on my neck stand up early on, but that's it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One for those of the open minded kind. , 27 Sep 2007
By Mr. A. J. Quaeck "hagakure59" (North Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Where do we begin? Sasquatch, flying saucers, giant wolves, light orbs that seem to possess the power of mind control, poltergeists, 'predator' like creatures (yes that's right 'predator' - as in Schwarzenegger and a bunch of body builders running around the jungle - 'predator') men in black, skinwalkers (pure-evil, shape-shifting navajo shamen that only don the title of skinwalker after murdering a close friend or member of the family.)

No this isn't a reference book but rather a non fiction book about a ranch reputedly located in the Utinah basin, Utah, named 'Skinwalker Ranch' aptly. (the actually location of the ranch is not known - type it in on youtube) The local Ute indians believe the ranch to be 'in the path of the skinwalker'. The ranch is subject to ALL KINDS of paranormal phenomemon, as if the basin is somehow somekind of junction for just about any weird tale you've ever heard.

Living on the ranch are the Gormans (fake identity, as are most in the book). The family were terrorised from the second they stepped foot onto the ranch. Cattle mutilation, the brutal murder of their three fierce guard dogs and the disapperance then reapperance of four prize bulls. Along with that came bullet proof wolves capable of performing disappearing acts, light orbs that seemed to know the family's every thought and an eerie disturbing presense that lingered on the ranch, everywhere. The encounter with the 'Predator' beastie is enough to chill a grown man to the bone or indeed make one cry.

Perhaps the bolted up windows and doors should have been a hint. Or maybe the absurdly strict 'NO DIGGING' condition layed down by the previous owners on which the ranch was bought. It maybe should have been noted by the family that the local indians considered the land to be cursed, that a strange, powerful malice had stirred underground for centuries. Even early settlers from the Christopher Columbus period documented a 'powerful humming sound' emenating from beneath the earth.

The only nagging downside to the book is the fact that there are no conclusions or proof that ANYTHING in the book actually happened. But it does open your mind up to a number of other theories intertwined with the spooky goings on at the ranch. Whether you believe or not is up to you.

All i will say is read it and make your own mind up... But definately read it, whether you believe it or not it's a highly enjoyable yarn. Approach it with an open mind and an active imagination. ENJOY! :)
