Hunt for the Skinwalker: Science Confronts the Unexplained at a Remote Ranch in Utah

For more than fifty years, the bizarre events at a remote Utah ranch have ranged from the perplexing to the wholly terrifying. Vanishing and mutilated cattle. Unidentified Flying Objects. The appearance of huge, otherworldly creatures. Invisible objects emitting magnetic fields with the power to spark a cattle stampede. Flying orbs of light with dazzling maneuverability and lethal consequences. For one family, life on the Skinwalker Ranch had become a life under siege by an unknown enemy or enemies. Nothing else could explain the horrors that surrounded them -- perhaps science could.

Leading a first-class team of research scientists on a disturbing odyssey into the unknown, 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 in superb detail 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 utterly hair-raising in their implications. Opening a door to the unseen world around us, Hunt for the Skinwalker is a clarion call to expand our vision far beyond what we know.

A UTAH PORTAL TO ????, 2008-10-26
I read this book due to my living in Utah, and having friends from this same area that have said they had many unexplained insodents as well. Creepy to think what this family went through...I don't know if I would have lasted as long as they did...especially when the cattle were moved to or TRANSPORTED to different areas of the ranch...I liked it!

The Full Spectrum of Anomolous Events, 2008-09-30
This is a fascination account of events on the Utah ranch over an extended period of eight years. To my knowledge, this is the first account of UFO, poltergiest, cattle mutilation, portal entry and bizzare animal presence in one area.
The skeptics will cry "where is the scientic proof?", knowing full well that this phenomena does not lend itself to proof (not is terms of our current science anyway). This in no way diminishes the catalogue of anomalous events seen and reported by highly qualified scientists.
I particularly liked the exhaustive attempts to explain these happenings by looking at every possible alternative theory.
Of course we must finally admit that we know little about the functioning of our universe/s in terms of composition, origin, laws, size etc.etc. Perhaps we are in the midst of a mass of dimensional activity without being aware of it. The proverbial ants' on the edge of an eight lane highway. This Utah ranch may lie on one of the millions of intersections.

So So Book, 2008-09-08
Hunt for the Skinwalker just has too many problems, between the randomness of the writing, the science chapters at the end and the odd tangents its just kind of a mess.
This book would have been so much better if the authors had created a timeline, and then stuck to it. This "oh yeah and then some stuff happend that we didn't mention at first" that they put in the final chapters is annoying.

It is clear that lots and lots of activity took place, why not focuse on that more? Espectially when the science team is boring in the extreem. Interviewing the family, and no I don't care who they "really" are, a short(please!) bit about the team, and then talking about the theories would have been great. I did not need pages of "and then this one time these other people had the same thing happen to them" that is what footnotes are for. The Skinwalker Ranch should have been first and foremosta nd all other sidelines secondary.

Also so many things were never really cleared up, why did the family leave it as the Skinwalker Ranch? Who named it that to start with? Where did the family move to? Why in the hell did they continue to keep any of their prized animals there after they sold it? Did the team ever dig on the ranch? If not why not?

Sigh, I do beleive in a muiltiverse, but I am sorry to say this book does not exactally help the cause.

A Poltergeisty Bruja , 2008-08-09
Finished this book a few years back after hearing Colm Kelleher interviewed on Coast to Coast am. I can discern whether someone is being honest or not in their voices, the fluctuations in pitch and emotion during certain retellings of events, etc. and I could instantly tell these two dudes were telling the truth. Plus I've been to the Uinta Basin Ute Rez in Utah and I could feel some very strange energies, very similar to Dulce in some ways on the Jicarilla Apache Rez in New Mexico, another hot-spot of "activity". Anyways, very engrossing read and very scientifically-oriented, you might be surprised. Creeped me out good, especially when IT crawled out of the porthole in the air and went scurrying off, and the animal mutilations. So on so forth. NIDS (National Institute for Discovery Science) funded this project and I thought it was a great read. Beware of the Shamans, curanderos, and brujos which "of course don't really exist" but are lurking inside the crack between the worlds you refuse to peer into, all the time. MUAH HA HA HAAAAA !!!
