The Hunt – Paranormal Nightshift Story – Episode 103

1
00:00:00,080 –> 00:00:01,960
This thing is a suspected
skinwalker.

2
00:00:02,240 –> 00:00:05,360
Skinwalkers are a kind of demon.
Welcome to Paranormal night.

3
00:00:05,360 –> 00:00:08,080
Shift your home for all things
that go bump in the night and

4
00:00:08,080 –> 00:00:12,720
your fan stories told here.
Today’s story is called The Hunt

5
00:00:13,360 –> 00:00:17,960
and comes from Sarah, the old
man set by the fire, his weather

6
00:00:17,960 –> 00:00:20,320
face illuminated by the
flickering flames.

7
00:00:20,960 –> 00:00:24,880
He told stories to the children,
tales of old Navajo lure.

8
00:00:25,610 –> 00:00:27,130
And creatures that roam the
night.

9
00:00:27,850 –> 00:00:31,650
There are many things in the
darkness, he said, his voice low

10
00:00:31,650 –> 00:00:34,850
and serious.
Some are good, but some are very

11
00:00:34,850 –> 00:00:38,650
bad, and the worst of them all
are the Skinwalkers.

12
00:00:39,370 –> 00:00:42,370
The children shivered with fear.
They had heard stories of

13
00:00:42,370 –> 00:00:45,530
Skinwalkers before, but never
from the old man.

14
00:00:46,410 –> 00:00:50,970
Skinwalkers are witches and
Wizards who can take the form of

15
00:00:50,970 –> 00:00:54,090
any animal they want, he
explained to the children.

16
00:00:54,750 –> 00:00:58,110
They are dangerous and they are
powerful, and they should be

17
00:00:58,110 –> 00:01:01,830
avoided at a cost.
The old man paused, his eyes

18
00:01:01,830 –> 00:01:04,269
darting in the darkness before
the campfire.

19
00:01:05,110 –> 00:01:07,110
I’ve seen a skin Walker once, he
said.

20
00:01:07,670 –> 00:01:11,030
It was a long time ago.
When I was a young man, I was

21
00:01:11,030 –> 00:01:13,910
hunting with my father, and we
came across a large wolf.

22
00:01:14,470 –> 00:01:17,270
It was unnatural.
It was unlike any other wolf we

23
00:01:17,270 –> 00:01:21,150
had ever seen before.
Its eyes were glowing red and it

24
00:01:21,150 –> 00:01:23,950
moved in a way that no creature
should move.

25
00:01:24,520 –> 00:01:28,520
My father knew immediately it
was a skinwalker, he whispered

26
00:01:28,520 –> 00:01:29,760
to me.
Run.

27
00:01:30,160 –> 00:01:33,360
The two men turned and run as
fast as they could, the wolf

28
00:01:33,360 –> 00:01:36,840
chasing after them, It’s snarl
echoing through the night.

29
00:01:37,320 –> 00:01:40,600
They ran until they could no
longer run, collapsed with

30
00:01:40,600 –> 00:01:44,000
exhaustion on the ground.
The wolf stopped a few feet away

31
00:01:44,000 –> 00:01:46,440
from them, its eyes fixated on
them.

32
00:01:46,920 –> 00:01:49,400
Then it turned and disappeared
into the darkness.

33
00:01:50,240 –> 00:01:52,360
The old man’s father helped him
to his feet.

34
00:01:53,340 –> 00:01:55,340
We were very lucky to be alive,
he said.

35
00:01:55,980 –> 00:01:58,980
Skinwalkers are not to be
trifled with.

36
00:01:59,500 –> 00:02:04,260
The old man finished his story,
and the children were silent.

37
00:02:04,340 –> 00:02:06,660
They all looked at each other
with fear in their eye.

38
00:02:07,180 –> 00:02:10,020
Don’t, don’t worry, the old man
said.

39
00:02:10,620 –> 00:02:15,020
Skinwalkers are rare, and they
usually stay away from humans,

40
00:02:15,300 –> 00:02:20,500
but if you ever see one run away
as fast as you can, the children

41
00:02:20,500 –> 00:02:24,140
nodded solemnly.
They would never forget the old

42
00:02:24,140 –> 00:02:27,740
man’s story.
Years later, one of the

43
00:02:27,740 –> 00:02:31,460
children, a young woman named
Sarah, found herself alone in

44
00:02:31,460 –> 00:02:34,100
the desert at night.
She had been hiking with her

45
00:02:34,100 –> 00:02:36,620
friends, but they had gotten
separated.

46
00:02:36,940 –> 00:02:41,020
Sarah tried to find her way back
to the trail, but she was lost.

47
00:02:41,260 –> 00:02:43,740
Sarah wandered through the
darkness.

48
00:02:43,740 –> 00:02:47,860
She began to feel so uneasy.
She had a feeling that she was

49
00:02:47,860 –> 00:02:50,780
being watched.
She stopped, and she listened.

50
00:02:51,320 –> 00:02:53,920
But she couldn’t hear anything
but the whistling of the wind

51
00:02:53,920 –> 00:02:57,840
and the trees.
Sarah continued walking, but she

52
00:02:57,840 –> 00:03:01,040
couldn’t shake the feeling that
she was being followed.

53
00:03:01,680 –> 00:03:04,960
She would glance over her
shoulder periodically, and then

54
00:03:04,960 –> 00:03:07,640
she started to see something
move in the shadows.

55
00:03:08,360 –> 00:03:12,840
Sarah was frozen into fear.
It was a wolf, but unlike any

56
00:03:12,840 –> 00:03:16,680
wolf she had ever seen before.
It was large and it was black.

57
00:03:17,160 –> 00:03:22,380
It had glowing red eyes.
The wolf stared at Sarah for a

58
00:03:22,380 –> 00:03:25,100
moment.
Then it began to walk towards

59
00:03:25,100 –> 00:03:27,580
Sarah.
Sarah knew that this was no

60
00:03:27,580 –> 00:03:31,140
wolf.
This had to be a skin Walker.

61
00:03:31,340 –> 00:03:34,540
I turned and ran as fast as I
could, the skin Walker chasing

62
00:03:34,540 –> 00:03:38,620
after me every step of the way.
It’s snarl echoing through the

63
00:03:38,620 –> 00:03:41,620
woods.
I could hear its lungs breathing

64
00:03:41,620 –> 00:03:44,260
and bursting with air.
The skin Walker was getting

65
00:03:44,260 –> 00:03:48,200
closer, very closer now.
It chased me and as I ran as

66
00:03:48,200 –> 00:03:52,160
fast as I had ever ran before, I
felt like it was right on top of

67
00:03:52,160 –> 00:03:54,880
me.
Just when Sarah thought she was

68
00:03:54,880 –> 00:03:58,360
able in that she was going to be
caught, she saw the light in the

69
00:03:58,360 –> 00:04:00,160
distance.
It was a campfire from her

70
00:04:00,160 –> 00:04:03,640
friends campsite.
Sarah ran towards the light with

71
00:04:03,680 –> 00:04:06,720
all of her might, the skinwalker
close on her tail.

72
00:04:07,000 –> 00:04:10,240
It ran faster than any other
creature Sarah had ever been

73
00:04:10,240 –> 00:04:13,400
encountered with.
It was unnaturally fast, right

74
00:04:13,400 –> 00:04:15,600
on top of Sarah’s heels the
entire way.

75
00:04:15,860 –> 00:04:19,060
I could see the campfire now
running faster and faster.

76
00:04:19,500 –> 00:04:21,899
The skinwalker stopped at the
edge of the campfire.

77
00:04:22,780 –> 00:04:26,780
It stood there for a moment, its
eyes glowing red, and then it

78
00:04:26,780 –> 00:04:29,300
turned and just disappeared into
the darkness.

79
00:04:30,100 –> 00:04:32,940
Sarah collapsed to the ground,
exhausted and terrified.

80
00:04:33,300 –> 00:04:35,980
Her friends rushed to her side,
asking her what was wrong.

81
00:04:36,460 –> 00:04:39,340
Sarah told them about the
skinwalker, and they were all

82
00:04:39,340 –> 00:04:42,860
shaken.
Sarah never forgot the encounter

83
00:04:42,860 –> 00:04:46,110
with the skinwalker.
She knew that she had been so

84
00:04:46,110 –> 00:04:49,950
lucky to escape with her life
and she knew that she would

85
00:04:49,950 –> 00:04:52,110
never go hiking in the desert
again.

86
00:04:52,430 –> 00:04:56,670
So many stories like this
ancient lure and culture that

87
00:04:57,030 –> 00:05:00,270
believes that by saying their
names it gives them power.

88
00:05:00,790 –> 00:05:04,950
But somehow I continue to get so
many reports of of these

89
00:05:04,950 –> 00:05:08,150
skinwalkers and of these other
crypted creatures.

90
00:05:08,600 –> 00:05:11,280
They seem to be coming in and
flooding my desk every day.

91
00:05:12,000 –> 00:05:16,880
Have we normalized the idea that
these things exist so much so

92
00:05:16,880 –> 00:05:19,440
that we’ve now given them the
power?

93
00:05:20,040 –> 00:05:23,680
Tell me what you think and thank
you for watching Paranormal

94
00:05:23,680 –> 00:05:24,320
Night Shift.
