  • @Yazzmizzie i know how that feels cuz im also native american

  • Wow a pinoy

  • In Philippines, a similar story too! But this time they are cold "Aswang".

    They can change into any ferosious animals. But they hunt there preys onto roofs..

    Even pregnant women., Because of their babies.. And they also turn into human so no one

    would know their secrets..

  • @AddictEdToY0u24 yeah my mom and dad tell me cool stories

  • In Mexico we have a similar story! its called the "nagual". Theyre people that work with witch craft & can turn them selves into a bear,coyote,wolf,dog,puma,pant­her to confuse & scare people. These "nagual witches" have alot of money also!

  • so uh Yazzmizzie can skinwalkers turn into other things besides wolves and coyotes?

  • @ipwnu572 yes they can, i am native american apache zuni mayan and navajo, i lived in rez all my life. Skinwalkers take over the world but have faith great spirit and holy beings will eradicate them afterall. Look upon obama and his skin it is a mechanism of deception one of many examples also in navajo nation look at ben shelly he is "navajo," but he supports gambles and wars he is skinwalker. The harcore ones actually go into the night to stalk people and get their sick jollies.

  • @scorpian8king once you kow who the skinwalker is " greed," desire, and boastings you will be feared byy the skinwalkers and they will not want to fuck with you, when you rid yourself of greeds and carnal desires they skinwalker are afraid of the way your sweat smells, and if you look them in the eye as a clean person they will die within two weeks. have faith people and do no do the debauchery they sell in mtv or in news they want war and more death. Great spirit will whip them down hard,

  • @ipwnu572 From what I've been told by my Navajo teacher, he only heard Skinwalkers could turn into wolves and coyotes. So, I'm assuming no, they can not turn into any other animals.

  • Please be respectful of our culture. Being a traditional Navajo, it really does sicken me that people are saying that this is fake and other things like that. :[

  • @Yazzmizzie i am very very very very interested in this. you can say i study things like this.

  • @Yazzmizzie thunderbirds are awesome. (im ojibwe)

  • I am navajo

  • Lol this is like Animagus from Harry Potter.

  • Sooooo skinwalkers were the first goddamn furries....

  • I'll tell you what are skinwalkers. Skinwalkers were made a long time ago to be a good thing for our people to win wars but now they use it the wrong way to curse their own people, the people that they're jealous of because people had sheeps, horses, something nice in their life. Skinwalkers have to kill their own family member to become one. They use coyote skins&they can transform into anything exactly! Our people the Dine when we see a coyote is bad luck&an owl! If u want to know more msg me.

  • Comment removed

  • @zombieassault3 hahahahahahhahahahaha ikr same here

  • Udyr

  • 0:19 That's me in the morning.

  • True Blood

  • DOGGIES

  • This is ridiculous.... Skinwalkers dont turn into fucking werewolves, they can turn into crows, wolves, owls and shit like that. And it really is quite offencive that they would even talk about it... Most of the time if you ask a true navajo about a skinwalker they dont even want to mention it. Idiots.

  • @killuminati280 Well in mexico...........we're in america

  • The lost tapes is not a place/show where you would want to get information, it is a reality show that makes up most of the story line to entertain a bunch of people who will believe anything.

  • when i was little my grandma told me her and her friend were up the mountin and they herd wolves they ran down the mountin and the nearest place was there school and the teacher was there and da techer called the cops and my grandma got home safley and her freind im only half native but my grandama told me she belives in them

  • Great so this si wehre Twilight steals it's ideas from.

  • after they said there was syndrome were they think they can transform to animals just see if they can transform in to a fish.

  • I'm 1/4 of Sue Indian on my dad's side,he taught me about Native American mythology yet he never heard of a skinwalker lol

  • @CrazyClara101 thats b/c your sue, not navajo

  • I am Native American: Navajo. My two sisters&my grandparents were sleeping in their Hogan later at night they heard a noise on top of the Hogan. The skin walker was looking through the stove&my sister didn't want to look at it so she closed her eyes, on the other hand, my other sister she looked. My grandpa went outside w/his shotgun but the Skinwalker already took off. When my sister looked at it she was in shock she had health problems but she got a ceremony done for it.

  • lost tapes: catcher freeman

  • ma dad sed thiers lots of dem in Mexico x(

  • dude.......i sometimes even in the day...i get a major headack and when i look down at myself i see my hands coverd in dark black fur......and it realy creepy because i then see like visions of people getting attacked by some beast and then about a week later that comes up on the news.....weird hu?

  • Jacob from Twilight is a SKINWALKER!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @TheRomanBond007 that is exactly what i said!!!!! jacob is a skin walker, not a werewolf, he can only transform into a wolf.

  • nice puppy :D

  • @KingKiller5251 i know right!!!! that werewolf looked awesome!!!! i love werewolves.

  • @jenniferrobles23

    yo try watching the dover demon one.....dude im never going to dover again!

  • @jenniferrobles23

    i agree with you on that one...werewolfs kick ass!!!!!

  • So what is a skin walker then? Im Native from Canada and want to know this. The tribes in Canada use to have people that had a special gift or the ability to transform "shape shift" into a wolf or deer or so on. But they say that those type of people dont exist anymore because no one has that gift or power to do that because the traditional teachings are lost.

  • OFF TOPIC: Look At My Channel Uploads For My Very First Green Peace Video!

  • you call that a were wolf? i call it FLUFFY! :D

  • I came here to see a lost tape... I'm disappointed to not find it. But then again, if they did show a lost tape, it would become the found tape and the title would be a lie, so I guess it's alright.

  • @MaliceOnslaught i know, the only lost tape episode that i missed seeing on animal planet, was "skin walker", i will try looking for it.

  • Some of the episodes on Lost Tapes, do actually scare me. However, I have not seen this episode.

  • fisrt lost tape that actually scared me -.-

  • you know that years ago us navajos were given the powers from our god to use shapshifting to be able to defend us from our enemies like those trying to seal our lands and so when we no longer needed the powers we stopped, sadly the evil ones decided to use it for their selfish benefits. so they then became the skinwalkers and are using evil way magic to the innocence.

  • @tnp86514 That is true. My sister told me that also.

  • fucking white people think they know what skinwalkers are *Sigh*

  • so there calling a skinwalker a werewolf???? which is it a werewolf with a fancy name or something else?

  • I am Native American. According to what I have been told when I was growing up, a skinwalker is not a werewolf or a shapeshifter. That stupid whiteman that made this thing up on Animal Planet is wrong and probably payed that Native man to say that on his show. And it is offensive to my culture, especially what other viewers have said. Seeing a skinwalker is something you'll have to actually experience on your own, then make your comment.

  • @dawnajones1 so is a skinwalker real?

  • @dawnajones1 You could be wrong too. You know that right?

  • @TheWolfreaver its a animal. BUT. Its not even close to a werewolf. my grandma said its like a human but cover up in animal skin/fur.

  • @dawnajones1

    couldn't agree more :)

    thumbs up

  • @dawnajones1

    I have never seen one but I was told that a room I stayed in was haunted by one. Can that happen or is it bs? If you need more details just ask

  • @dawnajones1 We are thinking the same thing.. As soon as I started watching this Video some thing seemed strange and then I realized what was going on. I doubt any one that has actually studied some thing can tell the meaning of it. I am Sorry this video is just not right.

  • @dawnajones1 would you mind telling me in your opinion or experience what a skinwalker truly is?

  • @dawnajones1

    im african american.

  • @dawnajones1 Have you experienced it then? Or are you just going on what you were told? Also some people might find the term stupid white man offensive, bizarre how you are so quick to turn this into a race issue....just saying.

  • @dawnajones1 I love how your probably just some white kid

  • @dawnajones1 I agree. I'm only part Native American, but I've heard a variety of legends about the skinwalker. The version they are describing here is what people outside Native American traditions assume it to be. I honestly don't believe its a physical transformation, but more of a mental and spiritual belief.

  • @AikokoXD althought my last name is spanish, i don't think i have any indian blood in me, my ancestors were european. they were from yugoslavia, greece i think, and spain. from spain i know 4 sure. that's not really the point but i'm just saying. anyway, i don't know anything about native american lore.

  • @dawnajones1 Yes it's not a werewolf or a shapeshifter. This Lost Tapes show got this whole wrong. They should have gotten a real Navajo men to do it and tell the story. It's horrible to be pick on by a skinwalker I've heard many stories from my Grandparents and my Parents and my sisters and brothers when they were little how they experience a Skin walker.

  • @dawnajones1 I was under the impression different tribes had different beliefs. Perhaps you're the one who needs to compile more research before trash talking a nationally broadcasted television program.

  • @dawnajones1 From what I've read and learned about Skinwalkers, I would SO rather be a shapeshifter... Skinwalkers are basically just humans who are deeply intuned with evil/dark magics and actually have to use the pelt or skin of an animal/human to take on their form, correct? The big difference is that with shapeshifters, no one has to die for them to shift, but with skinwalkers, something does half to die for them to take on that form. Am I correct?

  • @dawnajones1 oh ok ill stop stealing ur skin no hard feelings

  • @dawnajones1 i argeed with u, im an native american too

  • @dawnajones1 Same here i am Native American and that lost stap show is all fake just to make fun of our culture they have a native saying all that fake crap and like you said you said my mom and dad have told me about shapeshifters and they are not werewolves are any of those a shapeshifter is well a ..... never mind but this is all fake

  • @dawnajones1 aw fuck u

  • @dawnajones1 please inform the others on what a skinwalker really is, i'd love to know. Seriously, since you know what it is im willing to listen. Or is it not suppsoe to be shared with others outside your culture? :/

  • @dawnajones1 i dislike u u seem racist against white ppl >.>

  • @dawnajones1 how the fuck do we no you are a native american ive never herd of u guys having internet

  • @nix10kodeey ok we might not know what he\she saying was true but that last part was just racist =___=

  • @nix10kodeey racist ahole

  • @dawnajones1

    No, they are not made up. The term "skinwalker" may be made-up but the being is not. The Navahos called them yee naaldlooshii. They are evil shape-shifting witches found in many tribe lore.

  • @dawnajones1 Howgh. Random comment from a white man from Poland incoming in 3, 2, 1... Deep respect from the heart for the Native American culture. I must admit, I am ashamed to be white, knowing what my race has done. Peace.

  • @dawnajones1 ever come down i was joking god

  • @dawnajones1 1. I'm 99% sure you are white.

    2. Sorry dude, but in multiple Native American cultures a skinwalker is a person who transforms into an animal by wearing it's pelt

    3. Stop making up stories to get thumbs up.

    4. "seeing a skinwalker is something you'll have to actually experience on your own" Have you seen one? If not, don't comment. And if so, why don't you tell us what a skinwalker actually is?

  • @gorillaman2000 Why do people like you have to be so ignorant. im not saying that he is or isnt telling the truth. But being an ass to him is completly uncalled for.

  • mmmmmmm whats the word im looking for? .........oh ya ITS FAKE!!

  • I call bloody toothed wolf BloodTooth

  • This is just scaring the shit out of me...out of all i beleive in this one the most... Indian myths are the more realistic... turning into wolves.... skinwalker... dont even think about going near where i live O_O

    SKINWALKER

  • I think skin walkers are actually humans they just kill wolves and carve the skin out of the wolves and when they perform a ritual they bacame a Werewolve for a limited time

  • @mahendraputra38 yes, really. They said that she was putting on the hide of a coyote and her dress was made of feathers

  • Man I love watching these videos when I want a good laugh.

  • 1:56 The Beatles lol jk

  • I live in Oklahoma. One night my indian friend was telling me about the skinwalker when the driver of the car I was in suddenly lost conrtrol, skidded off the road and into a barbwire fence. I got a black eye. We wen't to a parking lot back in town, and scratched on the hood was, 666.

  • I think there more of stinkwalkers

  • look up skinwalker ufo. the skinwalker ranch has a lot of weird activity

  • You know Navajo legend is that they go into your dreams and i guess kill you thats why they have dream catchers my grandfather who is Navajo is scared to say its name all Navajos are. So the people who think this is a joke this is history for us. We are really scared of this. So Thanks for the people who thinks this is so funny.

  • @ericaforamerica2034 yes, people do think it is, i personaly am scared to even think about it when i am in the rez and all these -billigonnas- are treating it like its fake or another world.

  • PUPPY!!!

  • im a skingwalker lol

  • Also got news of a Full Length Skin Walker movie being filmed around the reservation, also the director is still looking for talent and has roles that need to be filled, contact him at Facebook / rtouchine and his email is romeo_012004 at yahoo

  • The younger Skinwalkers are known as " furries".

  • that look much better than justin bieber.

  • what are the weapons made off?

  • what kind of weapons do you guys use?

  • @thepimpinman02 spears blowguns etc

  • does the chief mate with all the woman of the tribe?

  • @thepimpinman02 no but he can generaly have two wives or three

  • oh ok. so it the son of the chief who becomes the chief wehn he dies. but what happens if the chief and his family dies? who becomes the chief then? what is your name?

  • @thepimpinman02 that rarely happens but the chief has many children so its hard to say for sure its never happened in my tribe

  • is the chief the most ranked member of the tribe? how do you earn that spot?

  • @thepimpinman02 yes and its by birth

  • @jackymontgomery how? your just a baby when your born? what are you?

  • @thepimpinman02 look at it like this if you will. in a wolf pack the alpha is the son of the previous alpha, so the cycle continues like so. im no chief nor is my father but he is a tribe member so im a tribe member.

  • That amazing. do you guys somhow connect to i think hinduism or muslim. they also reincarnate into animals. have you seen a person being reborn?

  • @thepimpinman02 no nits a sacred thing and only the chief and the shaman witness such things

  • @thepimpinman02 no its a sacred thing only the chief and shaman witness these things

  • im not going to take wrong dont worry about even tho im a catholic and my parents where raised thinking that there only our god but im open mindd and love to hear opinions cuz i noticed theres too many religions in the world to choose from wich one is right or wrong. what kind of animals do you guys turn into? and do you guys think you remember your human life when you become an animal?

  • @thepimpinman02 the eagle wolf coyote bison crow deer etc. to a certain extent we do a person who died and is reborn as a wolf may stay to protect his family or make a wolf pack. in my fathers tribe we are the crow people so we are reborn as crows. its easy to tell when a person is reborn as a crow becouse the crow in question will be much bigger

  • that werewolf scared me O.O

  • @dryspud It was a pretty good looking werewolf to be made to only be on a show for a few seconds eh? Lol. Should put that one in the movies.

  • @dryspud its not a werewolf. its a SKINWALKER..

  • Skinwalkers have souls

  • OMG! ITS A DRUID NIGHT ELF from World of Warcraft but in real life hehehe

  • Ehh...All the guy is doing is changing like Jacob does...lol

  • Ehh. I'm not here to debate if anything is real or not, but this was like 2% of the Wikipedia entry on the subject. I feel like I've wasted two minutes.

  • I FIND THIS OFFENSIVE GUYS!! :(

  • In Mexico we have someting similar to this. In Veracruz state they call it "Nahual" wich is a "Brujo" man witch who transform into a beast resembling a huge black dog with red eyes.

  • I was watchin this in fullscreen and at 0:20 I bout shit myself.

  • I would wanna be a werewolf so I can show all of those Twilight pricks what one really is

  • Might not be a Navajvo, but I agree with the tribe on this. In all honestly, I doubt I'd have the balls to go out into the reservation's territory after dark. Can't imagine what its like to see one of these in the flesh...

  • this video barley comes close to what us real navajos see out there. and to all the shit talkers out there this is no joke they are real and they walk among us, if you want to see one go out to the rez and if you really want to meet one they will find you. i have heard storys and my family has seen it for themselfs this is real and they are the nightmares

  • @lightburning101 Thank YOU!!!! THEY ALL THINK THIS IS A FUNNY JOKE!!!

  • Whats that music being played in the background? Skin Flute?

  • @papadog101 its a native american flute

  • you dumb humans........

  • @wolflover873 I hear you... HAHAHAHAAAHHHWWWHHHOOOOOOOOOOO­!!!

  • @wolflover873 You may not know that these do exist, i am native american and i have suffered and ran from these things. but this isnt wat i want, i love being navajo, i love the possabilities,,,,but we have to deal with these things and if you can't!!!!.....believe in these things, they will come for you, weather when you're 50, maybe in an hour, maybe later in life, but they can kill anyone they desire. just remember that.

  • @CalfordZahne so they just come after random people not just Native Americans, not that it matters because I have some Native American in me, but I have to do a project on this for a class in high school.

  • @BVBs4Life Ok, That's reasonable.

    

  • @CalfordZahne

    I'm usually into the supernatural legends soley for the fun 'em, but there's something about this topic that just makes my skin prickle; I feel that sort of primal unease after I've read/heard/seen something about them to the point that I don't even want to glance out the window if its dark, and I'll be damned if someone is going to get me to step outside. It's strange to me that people can be so dismissive and disrespectful about the subject; hell, I have goosebumps right now.

  • @wolflover873 note this guys name, oh and btw, You Humans?!?! what are you a werewolf? get over yourself, get out into the real world

  • @partymidnight

    werewolves and shapeshifters could be real. No, Not like jacob black or the wolfman or crap like that, just.... shapeshifters. I really hate twilight, and I think that all of those novels and movies are retarded. I'm native american, and let me tell you, even though it is probably just a legend, it still is offensive to our culture when people stretch it out into these wacked things!!!

  • @xxxLILMISSTHANGxxx tee hee, twilight sucks

  • @xxxLILMISSTHANGxxx im native american they are 100% real!!

  • @r2d23678

    I agree. I believe in skinwalkers as well.

  • @xxxLILMISSTHANGxxx who are you?

  • I am a skinwalker and I have to say... I am offended. Please apologise.

  • @Stozab u should be offended animal planet fakes this stuff i will apologize for them if it helps im sorry (i hope it helps) i wish animal planet would just get its facts straight before they mae a vid

  • @12kewlgurl

    Why waste your time being offended by their ignorance? You could just, you know, choose /not/ to be offended by trivial shit like this. Cultural facts are misconstrued all the time, doesn't make it right; but it's nothing to get upset over. Seeing as speaking of skinwalkers is discouraged among the tribes, what else can you expect? This show is made in the spirit of, you know, entertainment. It doesn't have to be accurate. Hence the disclaimers.

  • @SableSymphony um ok i was just saying most of the time they just make fun of stuff like this but i guess ur rght

  • @NoLifeSketh u might make it out alive or maybe have traumatic nightmares, but for 1 grand i'm sure you'll twice about the word IGNORANCE.

  • @rockfest888 Umm... No... Ignorance.. maybe... Tramatic nightmares? Im from fucking Houston... Houston,TX. I'll take my knife,and ram it up the things ass.

  • @NoLifeSketh Houston, number 1 obese city on the planet!

  • @NoLifeSketh u might make it out alive or maybe have traumatic nightmares, but for 1 grand i'm sure you'll twice about the word IGNORANCE.

  • lol the wolf looks like the wolf for wolfteam the red team xD

  • Mockers best enjoy scrapping egg off their face-Not all that exists is known, and much of what experts declare they "know", in fact shall be proven ignorant. best keep an open mind, so it does not need to be forced to face unseen truths-Open mind does not mean you accept it or believe it, but a point a clearer perspective can give great illumination.

  • I spent two months camping on the Ute rez, the part that supposedly Utes are forbidden to go, and I don't know if there's actually something there, but you go out at night and there's some really weird shit going on, stuff that as an atheist I still don't know how to explain.
