Indigenous people describe the Skinwalker as a colossal beast, either a bear or a dire wolf, with glowing red eyes that are almost impossible to kill and impervious to bullets. Navajo witchcraft culture refers to this creature as ‘ yee naaldlooshii,’ which translates as ”by means of it, it goes on all fours”. The Navajo explain Skinwalkers as an evil witch or a wicked sorcerer who has mastered the art of black magic and the ability to shape shift.
