62 - The Legend of the Skinwalker

Everyone knows CIR has a Skinwalker Ranch obsession, but in that series we only briefly touched on skinwalkers themselves. We are fascinated by the paranormal beliefs that are intertwined into the culture and spirituality of many people around the world, and in this episode we have decided to focus on the Native American tribes of a region known for a ton of supernatural activity. Join us as we discuss the legend of the Skinwalker, shape-shifters, and witchcraft.
