Stories from the north

Hello I just wanna start off by saying that I am of no means good at words or writing things down. I'm quite an oldish man now that I'm 47 and for many, many years I have done my service to my people. The wet'suwet'en of northern british Columbia for decades. I have kept an eye out for these things that you call a skinwalker And learn as much as I can about them though we have no word for them in that way I get that in this day.And age it may be silly to think that there are real but for many many generations to my people it has been a very real threat although mostly unknown because it's better the youth doesn't know we know how children can get But there are a few of us who know including my nephew who is the one who pointed me towards this place. He encouraged me to come here and share my experiences that I've gathered over the years, And I'll start off by the first time I ever found out about these things. I was still a young man many years ago where I was with my father trapping on lake Babine. It was during the winter, so the most of the lake was frozen over and due to some setbacks, we were walking back from the trap line in the dark across the ice and we had been using this path on thr ice for days by this time I do not know how long we were walking for before my father stopped in front of me. Turned to me and told me to no matter what keep walking forward Do not acknowledge it, do not move if it moves.Just keep walking I do not know what he meant at first but When we kept walking I noticed what looked like a snow bank on the ice I was confused at first while looking at it.But as we got closer I realized that it looked like a person Sitting hunched over cross-legged I became more and more confused then fearful as we got closer and it got larger and larger by the time we were About to pass it, it was massive it was sitting down , but it was nearly as tall as me standing And as we passed it, I saw out the corner of my eye. I think it reached for us or raised its hand whatever happened I wanted to run in terror and fear but I remember what my father said and the urgency in his voice when he told me to do so i grated my teeth and bit my tongue and kept walking and from then on, It didn't grab us it didn't get up and run. It sit in place sat there as we walked by in silence an in the dark. I asked my father almost every day about those things he would get angry until he told me what he knew about them and he told me the dangers and how they're more of a legend now but acknowledging them can still be dangerous. Scince then I've been looking, searching for them seeking signs and clues and they are very very uncommon in and around towns or cities but they occasionally come when food is scarce, and the few signs they leave can be mistaken for a mountain lion. I've also only seeing them once from a good distance but the sight alone is a terrifying thing to experience especially when you know it's seeing you too.

"It's joints didn't move when it walked"

hi I am a resident of Indiana about 30 minutes away from Indianapolis. This story is true and I will try my absolute hardest to answer any questions with specific details. This all happened between June 2022 and September 2022. I know the June part because I have a video of my drunk friend Kyle at the place where this happened promising to raid a Kona ice truck with me the next day, I do lean more towards September though because I remember it being kind of cold and one of the last times we were gonna be able to go out there that year.

my friends Sy and Kyle were fishing at a parks river that was connected to Geist and invited me and my buddy Cody out to fish with them around 8:30pm. we both weren't too keen on fishing but we went just to chill because we all generally got along well. when we first arrived they came up and said hi to us and gave a brief explanation of how the nights been so far. the gist was "the fishing was shit but the times were good." they also causally mentioned in a joking manner that they heard movement around them and Kyle said something along the lines "don't worry Sam ill take it on with my bareeee handdssss" now its been 2 years but I'm like 99% sure he said some cocky remark along those lines. Kyles the type of guy to say some shit like that. we all brushed it off and thought it was funny and ended up hanging around the campfire for a while.

now some notable things that happened between now and when I first saw it were.

  1. we did throw a dead battery from a light we had into the fire to see what would happen idk if battery's make you see crazy shit but yk we did it. I don't think it explains us all seeing the same thing even if it had some effect on us.

2 Sy drank a beer and so did Kyle but not me and Cody we both are sober people.

3 we didn't catch any fish which was kind of lame.

at around 10pm we all were kind of ready to go home because of how dark it had gotten and how bad the fishing was. We were about to start packing. now this park has a small trail and at the end of it is a big open lake. I thought "hey before we leave for good we might as well walk to the lake and see it then walk back to the cars" everyone generally thought this was a good idea and we were gonna start walking once packed.

they were about 80% done packing when I decided I'm gonna start ahead of them a little bit so I walked about 300 feet down the trail until I saw some huge white thing move from the right side of the path to the left side pretty far down the trail. this honestly scared the shit out of me but I had no flashlight and in all honesty I though to myself "hey that seemed creepy as fuck but it might have been a deer and I might just be fucking crazy" so I walked back to the group and since I was 2 years younger than sy and Kyle I didn't wanna mention it less I get called a pussy, which was pretty much a death sentence for my ego since at the time I was a sophomore.

after they finished packing we all got ready to walk and got a little further down on the trail than I did on my own. and then with a flashlight shined down the trail we saw it. now this being 2 years ago I don't remember everything but here some stuff I do 100% know I saw. It walked on all fours. its joints didn't move when it walked, I had no fur only pale skin. it was thin and you could see its spine protruding from its back the same way you can see someone's ribs when they're mal nourished, and it had a short neck with an unidentifiable face, it probably stood about 5-6ft. it walked very fast from one side to the other and genuinely felt "evil"

I just called Kyle explained this post and asked him to do his best to describe it to me, the only thing that differed in his decryption was it stood on two legs and was a little taller.

after calling Kyle I called sy and had him do the same. He gave a much deeper description. it walked on four legs but came up once and stood on the back two "it was kind of like the front two legs were arms that it could also walk on." he said the creature was long. said the joints didn't move. he also said it had no feet kind of a nub which I 100% remember and agree with, Skin looked like it was stretched over its body to the point you could see bones. "like wearing a shirt that's way to small"

after we saw it we all stood in baffled, frozen in fear. I asked "we all saw that right" and everyone said yes, Cody was behind us so he didn't see the full thing but 100% agrees he saw a flash of white and agrees it happened

we immediately turned around and started back to the cars me and sy were behind looking at where we saw it, Kyle and Cody were looking forward leading us back to where we parked. once we got out of the wooded trail sy said he saw it for a second watching us leave stating "it must have gone into the woods about 30 feet and kept pace with us as we left." I remember getting into my car scared as fuck our immediate was that we must haver seen a skinwalker but I'm not so sure after all this time. we all 100% believe in what we saw and after bringing it up to Cody, Kyle, and Sy we know what happened happened.

I live about 6-7 minutes away from where this happened and am honestly terrified that one day ill see it again. I'm posting this in a few subreddits looking for answers and thoughts on it and ill be here to answer any questions you have. thank you for reading my account of the story.
