For the uninitiated, Skinwalker Ranch is a private piece of property located in northeast Utah. For all intents and purposes it has been characterized as a “Paranormal Disneyland”. The ranch has gained that reputation over the past several decades as an area of high strangeness. Cattle mutilations, ufo, bigfoot, and dogman sightings as well as a whole host of other unnerving and bizarre incidents have not only occurred on or near the ranch but also within the surrounding Uinta Basin. With the popularity and great success of the docuseries The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch on The History Channel as well as the book Hunt For The Skinwalker, I am excited to share an unusual experience my brother and I had near the enigmatic ranch in 2018. The following are details of this encounter:

On the evening of July 11, 2018 my brother and I were parked at the intersection of 4000S and 6500E. This was a popular public viewing area approximately one mile south of the entrance to Skinwalker Ranch. I was in the drivers seat and my brother was sitting on the passenger side. Our intention was to monitor the area around the ranch in the hope that we might observe some paranormal activity. It was indeed an extremely creepy setting with high winds and thunderstorms in the area. My vehicle was facing west and the sun had already set with a sliver of light poking through the clouds that was reflected off the hood of my car. The passenger side window was rolled down so we could more easily observe the ranch lying dying to our north. The wind was howling out of the east-northeast blowing directly into that open window. When you watch the unedited video “Skinwalker Anomalies Caught On Dash Cam” you will hear the roaring of the wind inside the car. It was so loud that we had a difficult time hearing each other talk. There were several strange images that appeared in the video, which is a little over two minutes long. Some of the anomalies are quite easy to see while others happen very quickly and are more difficult to discern. I would encourage the viewers who would like to see the more subtle occurrences to do so in a darkened room. There are several what I call “purple flashes” that were captured in the footage and are difficult to see unless you are in complete darkness. I had a 4Sight Dash Cam that was mounted a little right of center and half way up the windshield. This particular make and model of night vision dash cam contained Starlite Technology. At the time, it was purported to be one of the best dash cams on the market for night video recording. My brother was tasked with the responsibility of pressing the “Event Button” on the dash cam if anything unusual was observed. As previously mentioned I was sitting in the drivers seat. I glanced to my right observing the the area outside the vehicle over the hood of my car. All of sudden, an amorphous blue image manifested in front of my brother. It appeared to be outside the vehicle and was suspended in midair a couple of feet over the hood. It was there for a brief moment and quickly faded away.

I had clearly seen something that was very strange and immediately asked my brother to press the event button. My brother was looking north towards the ranch and unfortunately did not see the manifestation. There were no cell phones, laptops, tablets, etc. that were in use during the encounter. If it was a reflection on the inner surface of the windshield, then it was not from any equipment that was in use during the time of the video capture. It’s possible that the anomaly may have appeared inside the vehicle. However, I don’t believe that to be the case. That was the only thing I saw that evening that I would consider out of the ordinary. However, it’s quite obvious after viewing the video that several strange things were going on right in front of our very noses. I can’t explain why that creepy looking image that manifested at time stamp 1:57 was purple in color when I clearly remember it being blue.

It could be an artifact associated with camera or I was simply mistaken as to its color because of its brief and fleeting appearance. Both “Skin Anomalies Caught On Dash Cam” videos can be viewed on my “Caught On Camera” page.
