Hunt for the Skinwalker

Science Confronts the Unexplained at a Remote Ranch in Utah

By: Colm A. Kelleher Ph.D

Narrated by: David Bendena

Length: 8 hrs and 42 mins

Publisher's summary

For more than 50 years, bizarre events at a remote Utah ranch have ranged from the perplexing to the wholly terrifying: vanishing and mutilated cattle, huge otherworldly creatures, invisible objects emitting magnetic fields, and more. For the family living at Skinwalker Ranch, life was under siege, and no one had been able to explain the horrors that surrounded them...But maybe science could. Leading a first-class team of research scientists, Colm Kelleher spent hundreds of days and nights on the Skinwalker property and experienced firsthand many of its haunting mysteries.

With investigative reporter George Knapp - the only journalist allowed to witness and document the team's work - Kelleher chronicles the spectacular happenings the team observed personally and the theories of modern physics behind the phenomena. Far from the coldly detached findings one might expect, their conclusions are a clarion call to expand our vision far beyond what we know.

Buy this! No BS!

Well written, well performed, well worth the money. This genre needs to take some direction from this audio book.

Mesermizing tale of the supernatural.

Would you consider the audio edition of Hunt for the Skinwalker to be better than the print version?

There is a bit of repetition in both the written book and the audio version, itself, due to the writer's insistence on backing up his observations and insights as though this book had been written more for skeptics than those more willing to accept the mysterious, haunting, and bizarre nature of the phenomena involved in this intriguing said-to-be real-life tale.

What did you like best about this story?

The subject matter is truly fascinating, especially for those who have been intrigued by the legends of Skinwalkers and the strange rumors about the Skinwalker Ranch itself. The book proposes that, perhaps, all paranormal phenomena might, in fact, be related to some degree, which is a fresh and intriguing approach in and of itself.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

David Bendena has a soft-spoken approach to the material that sometimes helps enhance the suspense of the book by drawing the listener to concentrate closer to what is being unveiled in certain scenes. At other times, this soft-spoken approach seems overdone, especially in regards to when the book is exploring history or various theories that are intent to try to help explain what was observed at the Ranch.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

I was totally intrigued by the information regarding the fact that some of the "Buffalo Soldiers" were not only stationed in the area, but had both Masonic and Occult ties. This book also does a nice job of adding various tidbits of information about the phenomena of the Skinwalker myth itself and similarities between the phenomena at Skinwalker Ranch and that which has been reportedly observed at Dulce, New Mexico.

Any additional comments?

The book seems to be trying too hard to convince skeptics of what is going on at Skinwalker Ranch. It also spends too much time laying out various possible theories, though some of what is laid out is not only important to understand what the scientists themselves are attempting to prove, but just downright interesting in and of themselves. This audio book was a great find, but leaves me wanting much more on the subject.

Remarkable accounts of forbidden science

Defying science, reason and logic, Hunt challenges one's view of reality and
answers to speculation.

Don't let the name Skinwalker scare you off!

This book is truly a must listen for those interested in the paranormal meets unidentified aerial phenomenon. The unexplained activity that has been reported around the US government bases in the remote areas of the country is experienced by the farmers and ranchers and this book gives some firsthand accounts from those people. These are people that have nothing to gain by telling their experiences and only have everything to lose which makes me a believer.

Scary!

I do not know how the family managed to live for as long as they did with all this going on. I was scared stiff with the very first meeting of the huge "wolf" that wouldn't die! Truly amazing stuff here. I enjoyed the entire book but in particular the summation of "why" possibilities. Very intelligent and sincere. I do hope someday we will get some answers! Highly recommend.

Surprisingly good, given the rare subject matter

This is a niche topic, and has some fascinating wrapped up into some heady stuff. Still good, but a limited audience

Fascinating & scary

This book is pretty great! The only problem is that the last hour or so is kind of summarizing the previous points in the book and states why scientists don’t investigate the paranormal. So that was kind of lame. However, the rest of the book is spooky and super fascinating. This is a deep dive into how anyone can suddenly become the target of the paranormal

hard to stop listening.

I love science and the thought of what's really possible. this book give several theories. well written and intriguing. I will probably listen several times

Thorough, level-headed but dramatic.

Definitely recommend this well researched, well organized and well performed book. I listen to a lot in this genre and can say this is one of the best.

Definitely an X-File...

The narrator is a flawless reader, love the story but didn't understand what the ending had to do with the Skinwalker at the ranch...nor the beginning.
How is it when the Ute and the Navajos talked about worm holes and portals no one believed them until a physicist at a university or scientist said the same thing and they were believed!
