Everything there is to know about skinwalkers, the rake, and ghouls. This is all real and the eyewitness accounts are genuine. Enjoy.

1. Skinwalkers: the Ultimate guide

2. Chapter 1… what are skin walkers?

3.  Skinwalkers are monsters from Navaho folk tales. They have the ability to
turn into an animal or certain person as long as they are wearing that
animals or persons skin. For example, if a skinwalker killed your best friend,
skinned him and wore his skin, then it would turn into your best friend and
show up at school at which point it would kill you and skin you and it would
go on and on until there are to many human skins laying around for no one
to notice and the skinwalker finds another town to terrorize. This could also
happen with your dog if a skinwalker got a hold of your dog. It would then
skin it and turn into your dog. Then when you got home and pet your dog and
suddenly he rips open reviling a horribly deformed human (a skinwalker in
its natural form) and skins you alive.

4. Chapter 2… Types of Skinwalkers

5.  Navaho skinwalker- The shape shifting version of the skinwalker, it is a
deformed humanoid that can change into a person or animal if it is
wearing that person’s or animal’s skin. Most people think of when they
here the word “skinwalker”.
 Rake- The entity version of the skinwalker. Lurking just out of sight, in
the shadows. They emit ear piercing screams and leave threatening
messages. Their victims are usually shredded to bits and gutted by
human like claws. They are thought to be the scariest version of the
skinwalker.
Ghoul- The creature version of a skinwalker. It possesses huge teeth and
claws. It is a wild animal, with no speaking ability. They use barbaric
methods to kill. They are more commonly sighted then most other versions
of the skinwalker.

6. Chapter 3… Skinwalker sightings

7.  Navaho skinwalker- A collage student was driving home from a basketball game on a bus.
It was very late and nearly pitch black out. Suddenly he spotted a figure on the side of
the road. The bus was moving slowly and the figure drew nearer and he saw that it was
a hideous man, with a coyote skin on his back. The man began chasing the bus, and even
though the bus was going faster than any one could run the man pursued and kept pace
with the bus. The man stared right at the collage student and showed yellowed teeth. His
human like eyes began to glare red, and his teeth began to sharpen. He grew a snout and
slowly became a coyote. The coyote took one glance at the student before it ran into the
desert and out of glance.
 Rake-”As I prepare to take my life, I feel it necessary to
assuage any guilt or pain I have introduced through
this act. It is not the fault of anyone other than him.
For once I awoke and felt his presence. And once I
awoke and saw his form. Once again I awoke and
heard his voice, and looked into his eyes. I cannot
sleep without fear of what I might next awake to
experience. I cannot ever wake. Goodbye.“ A
suicide note from 1964

8. “Three years ago, I had just returned from a trip from Niagara Falls with my family for the 4th of July. We were all very exhausted after a long day of driving, so my husband and I put the kids right to bed
and called it a night.
At about 4am, I woke up thinking my husband had gotten up to use the restroom. I used the moment to steal back the sheets, only to wake him in the process. I appologized and told him I though he got
out of bed. When he turned to face me, he gasped and pulled his feet up from the end of the bed so quickly his knee almost knocked me out of the bed. He then grabbed me and said nothing.
After adjusting to the dark for a half second, I was able to see what caused the strange reaction. At the foot of the bed, sitting and facing away from us, there was what appeared to be a naked man, or a
large hairless dog of some sort. Its body position was disturbing and unnatural, as if it had been hit by a car or something. For some reason, I was not instantly frightened by it, but more concerned as to
its condition. At this point I was somewhat under the assumption that we were supposed to help him.
My husband was peering over his arm and knee, tucked into the fetal position, occasionally glancing at me before returning to the creature.
In a flurry of motion, the creature scrambled around the side of the bed, and then crawled quickly in a flailing sort of motion right along the bed until it was less than a foot from my husband’s face. The
creature was completely silent for about 30 seconds (or probably closer to 5, it just seemed like a while) just looking at my husband. The creature then placed its hand on his knee and ran into the
hallway, leading to the kids’ rooms.I screamed and ran for the lightswitch, planning to stop him before he hurt my children. When I got to the hallway, the light from the bedroom was enough to see it
crouching and hunched over about 20 feet away. He turned around and looked directly at me, covered in blood. I flipped the switch on the wall and saw my daughter Clara.
The creature ran down the stairs while my husband and I rushed to help our daughter. She was very badly injured and spoke only once more in her short life. She said “he is the Rake”.
My husband drove his car into a lake that night, while rushing our daughter to the hospital. They did not survive.
Being a small town, news got around pretty quickly. The police were helpful at first, and the local newspaper took a lot of interest as well. However, the story was never published and the local television
news never followed up either.
For several months, my son Justin and I stayed in a hotel near my parent’s house. After we decided to return home, I began looking for answers myself. I eventually located a man in the next town over
who had a similar story. We got in contact and began talking about our experiences. He knew of two other people in New York who had seen the creature we now referred to as the Rake.
It took the four of us about two solid years of hunting on the internet and writing letters to come up with a small collection of what we believe to be accounts of the Rake. None of them gave any details,
history or follow up. One journal had an entry involving the creature in its first 3 pages, and never mentioned it again. A ship’s log explained nothing of the encounter, saying only that they were told to
leave by the Rake. That was the last entry in the log.
There were, however, many instances where the creature’s visit was one of a series of visits with the same person. Multiple people also mentioned being spoken to, my daughter included. This led us to
wonder if the Rake had visited any of us before our last encounter.
I set up a digital recorder near my bed and left it running all night, every night, for two weeks. I would tediously scan through the sounds of me rolling around in my bed each day when I woke up. By the
end of the second week, I was quite used to the occasional sound of sleep while blurring through the recording at 8 times the normal speed. (This still took almost an hour every day)
On the first day of the third week, I thought I heard something different. What I found was a shrill voice. It was the Rake. I can’t listen to it long enough to even begin to transcribe it. I haven’t let anyone
listen to it yet. All I know is that I’ve heard it before, and I now believe that it spoke when it was sitting in front of my husband. I don’t remember hearing anything at the time, but for some reason, the
voice on the recorder immediately brings me back to that moment.
The thoughts that must have gone through my daughter’s head make me very upset.
I have not seen the Rake since he ruined my life, but I know that he has been in my room while I slept. I know and fear that one night I’ll wake up to see him staring at me.”

9. The End.
