i think that once in the early morning i saw a ghost at the window

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

A Skinwalker is the ultimate shape shifter, known in Navajo as yee naaldlooshii, meaning “with it, he goes on all fours”—is a deeply feared figure in Navajo mythology. These beings are not just shape-shifters; they are considered malevolent witches who have chosen the path of dark magic, often through taboo acts like murder or betrayal.

Skinwalkers are said to:

• look human in their natural form, but with animal-like eyes that glow eerily in the dark.
• Transform into animals such as wolves, coyotes, foxes, owls, or crows. These forms may appear unnatural—walking on hind legs or moving with distorted agility.
• In some accounts, they appear as grotesque hybrids—humanoid figures with pale or gray skin, twisted limbs, and glowing eyes.
• Leave behind a foul stench and evoke intense fear or unease when nearby.

Characteristics & Abilities

Skinwalkers possess a range of supernatural traits:

• Shapeshifting: They can change into any animal at will, often choosing forms that suit their intent—strength, stealth, or speed.
• Mimicry: They imitate voices or sounds to lure or deceive victims.

• imicry: They imitate voices or sounds to lure or deceive victims.
• Mind control: They can influence thoughts and behavior.
• Cursing and disease: They cast spells to cause illness, misfortune, or death.
• Extraordinary speed and endurance: Said to run for hundreds of miles without tiring.
• Illusion and weather manipulation: Some legends claim they can distort reality or summon storms.

Origins and Transformation

• A person becomes a Skinwalker by committing a heinous act, often killing a close relative, as part of an initiation into the “Witchery Way”.
• This path contrasts with the Holy Way, which represents healing and balance in Navajo tradition.
• Once transformed, they are considered irredeemable and are feared as outcasts who prey on others.

They are bad people who choose the 'witchery way' to become even the worst. Whites or Mexicans who are raised as one of us can become a skin walker. I have never heard of a Black skin walker.
