Welcome to Paranormal Nightshift, the podcast that delves into the eerie and unexplained, sharing spine-tingling stories from our listeners. Join us as we journey into the unknown, exploring the mysteries that lurk in the shadows. In today’s episode, we recount a chilling tale from Ayla, an avid hunter who embarks on a remote expedition with her skeptical father in the wilds of Montana.
Seeking new hunting grounds, Ayla and her dad stumble upon a secluded cabin surrounded by dense woods. The isolation and tranquility they anticipated quickly transform into an unsettling and nerve-wracking experience. Strange occurrences begin as subtle bumps and scratches echo through the cabin, evolving into a crescendo of unnerving noises from the surrounding wilderness.
The atmosphere darkens, as the father-daughter duo senses an impending presence. Armed but defenseless against the unknown, they find themselves besieged by unrelenting sounds of scratching and knocking, as if something is trying to break in. The night becomes an agonizing struggle for survival, with the duo bracing themselves against the unseen terror outside.
Dawn finally arrives, and their relief is mixed with shock as they discover the cabin’s battered state – a testament to the relentless assault it endured. Determined to escape, Ayla and her father flee on ATVs, only to realize they are not alone. Pursued by an indescribable creature with blood-like eyes, they are confronted by a being that defies explanation.
Despite their desperate gunfire, the creature remains unfazed, its eerie laughter unsettling their very souls. In a moment of primal fear, they find themselves face to face with the unknown entity. With a bone-chilling voice, it utters a haunting message: ‘We work here.’ Only by sheer willpower do they manage to escape, fleeing the malevolent presence that seems to revel in their fear.
Ayla’s search for answers leads her to the legend of the ‘Window Girls,’ tormented souls trapped in monstrous forms, cursed to hunt men. Drawing from indigenous beliefs, the story casts light on the possibility of uncharted territories harboring enigmatic beings beyond our comprehension.
As we share Ayla’s harrowing encounter, we’re left to ponder the mysteries that still elude us in our vast world. Are there realms untouched by human exploration? Do creatures linger on the fringes of our awareness, waiting for the opportune moment to reveal themselves? Join us in the comments as we contemplate the limits of our understanding and the mysteries that lie in wait.

This this is Skinwalker on his
roof.

00:00:02,800 –> 00:00:04,600
Welcome to paranormal night
shift.
3
00:00:04,600 –> 00:00:07,320
You’re home to all things that
go bump in the night and your
4
00:00:07,320 –> 00:00:10,880
fan story is told here.
It’s hard to think nowadays with
5
00:00:10,880 –> 00:00:14,560
the city being as big as it is,
but it’s only a couple hour
6
00:00:14,560 –> 00:00:17,520
drive and you’ll go somewhere
where nobody’s been.
7
00:00:18,120 –> 00:00:20,520
And do you believe that every
part of the wilderness has been
8
00:00:20,520 –> 00:00:22,960
explored?
Do you believe we found
9
00:00:23,320 –> 00:00:25,040
everything that there is to be
found?
10
00:00:25,400 –> 00:00:27,680
Tyler writes in My dad and I are
rabbit hunters.
11
00:00:27,680 –> 00:00:31,850
We have been our entire lives,
but we try to find new locations
12
00:00:31,850 –> 00:00:34,810
to go to.
We’ve never been to Montana, but
13
00:00:35,130 –> 00:00:37,050
heard that it was absolutely
gorgeous.
14
00:00:37,090 –> 00:00:40,170
So that’s the cabin we booked.
They told us it was going to be
15
00:00:40,250 –> 00:00:44,970
really, really remote, really
rural, and we weren’t expecting
16
00:00:45,250 –> 00:00:49,170
as remote as it was.
We were legitimately the only
17
00:00:49,170 –> 00:00:52,650
people around for miles.
We parked our truck and they
18
00:00:52,650 –> 00:00:55,490
told us the best way to get up
there was on these ATV’s.
19
00:00:55,850 –> 00:00:58,880
There was plenty of gas up at
the cabin, but we were going to
20
00:00:58,880 –> 00:01:01,880
drive the ATV’s around if we
wanted to go do anything at all.
21
00:01:02,200 –> 00:01:04,640
First day we got up there, we
just walked the property for a
22
00:01:04,640 –> 00:01:07,120
little bit.
We saw that there was an opening
23
00:01:07,240 –> 00:01:10,160
right outside of this big, thick
wooded area.
24
00:01:10,600 –> 00:01:13,400
That would probably be the best
place for us to sit and see
25
00:01:13,600 –> 00:01:16,800
anything coming around.
We sat there most of the day and
26
00:01:16,800 –> 00:01:18,760
just enjoyed each other’s
company.
27
00:01:18,960 –> 00:01:21,960
It was kind of nice to actually
have some time just talking to
28
00:01:21,960 –> 00:01:24,120
my dad.
If you’ve ever spent any time in
29
00:01:24,120 –> 00:01:26,560
the woods, you’ll understand
that the woods are not quiet.
30
00:01:27,000 –> 00:01:28,640
You can hear birds and
squirrels.
31
00:01:28,640 –> 00:01:30,920
Everything rustling around makes
a noise.
32
00:01:31,280 –> 00:01:33,520
Dad is not a superstitious
person.
33
00:01:33,880 –> 00:01:36,520
He is not a fan of the
paranormal, and he is very much
34
00:01:36,520 –> 00:01:39,840
so a skeptic.
But something spooked him,
35
00:01:40,280 –> 00:01:42,520
Something had him going.
We need to get back to the
36
00:01:42,520 –> 00:01:44,720
cabin, and that’s exactly what
we did.
37
00:01:44,720 –> 00:01:47,960
We went to the cabin and that’s
when it all started.
38
00:01:48,480 –> 00:01:52,400
As we were in the cabin making
dinner, just something felt off
39
00:01:53,040 –> 00:01:58,140
the the air or the atmosphere.
Everything felt like dark and
40
00:01:58,140 –> 00:02:03,220
scary and it didn’t feel right.
We were of course heavily armed
41
00:02:03,220 –> 00:02:06,340
because we were hunting, but it
didn’t feel like that was going
42
00:02:06,340 –> 00:02:09,500
to do us any good.
Started hearing these bumps and
43
00:02:09,500 –> 00:02:12,620
scratches.
We started hearing rustling from
44
00:02:12,620 –> 00:02:16,980
the woods around us, things
howling, like communicating with
45
00:02:16,980 –> 00:02:19,860
each other.
It felt like a pack of coyotes
46
00:02:19,860 –> 00:02:21,940
or something was was watching
us.
47
00:02:22,340 –> 00:02:25,780
We felt like we were no longer
the ones doing the hunting.
48
00:02:26,500 –> 00:02:30,260
The bumping and the scratching
and the knocking got louder and
49
00:02:30,260 –> 00:02:32,820
louder.
It sounded like something was
50
00:02:32,820 –> 00:02:37,580
trying to find its way in.
Cabin was one big open room and
51
00:02:37,820 –> 00:02:40,820
when we’d hear something coming
from the ceiling, the next thing
52
00:02:40,820 –> 00:02:43,860
you know would be coming from
the front door or the back door
53
00:02:44,100 –> 00:02:47,980
or underneath us, wall to wall.
It just felt like something was
54
00:02:47,980 –> 00:02:52,500
scratching trying to get in.
It was deafening, loud and it
55
00:02:52,500 –> 00:02:56,400
was surrounded us all night. 2
grown men sitting in the middle
56
00:02:56,400 –> 00:03:00,720
of a room. 1 faced one way, one
faced another just sitting there
57
00:03:00,720 –> 00:03:04,960
listening to this.
Whatever start coming after us
58
00:03:05,440 –> 00:03:08,800
stayed that way till morning.
My father and I just sitting
59
00:03:08,800 –> 00:03:12,640
back-to-back trying not to talk
about being scared.
60
00:03:13,160 –> 00:03:16,320
But that’s exactly what we were.
We were scared.
61
00:03:16,600 –> 00:03:18,520
We didn’t know what was coming
after us.
62
00:03:18,520 –> 00:03:22,120
We didn’t know anything.
We hadn’t seen anything.
63
00:03:22,480 –> 00:03:25,990
We definitely heard it.
Sunrise came quick and we
64
00:03:25,990 –> 00:03:30,070
decided it was probably best for
us to find our way back down to
65
00:03:30,070 –> 00:03:32,710
the car.
When we stepped outside into the
66
00:03:32,710 –> 00:03:36,190
sunlight, the house was like
something I’d never seen before.
67
00:03:36,590 –> 00:03:39,750
There were footmarks and
scratches everywhere, shingles
68
00:03:39,750 –> 00:03:42,710
missing from the roof.
The door was off its hinges.
69
00:03:43,070 –> 00:03:45,790
Something had spent all night
trying to get in.
70
00:03:46,270 –> 00:03:48,990
We decided it was time for us to
blue ski Doo out of there.
71
00:03:49,310 –> 00:03:51,910
We grabbed everything we could,
got on the ATV’s and just
72
00:03:51,910 –> 00:03:54,710
started rolling.
Trying to get to the car, Just
73
00:03:54,710 –> 00:03:57,230
trying to get to the truck as
quickly as we could.
74
00:03:57,390 –> 00:04:00,110
I’ve never seen my father
physically scared, but that is
75
00:04:00,110 –> 00:04:03,750
exactly what both of us were.
We were so scared.
76
00:04:03,750 –> 00:04:07,190
We grabbed our stuff, got on the
ATV’s and started heading down
77
00:04:07,190 –> 00:04:10,990
to the truck, going down through
the path of the thick brush that
78
00:04:10,990 –> 00:04:13,190
we drove up that was so peaceful
and calm.
79
00:04:13,190 –> 00:04:15,470
Just the other day thing felt
different.
80
00:04:15,470 –> 00:04:18,350
No matter how fast we were
going, it felt like something
81
00:04:18,589 –> 00:04:21,110
was keeping pace with us.
Something was in the woods
82
00:04:21,510 –> 00:04:23,430
following us as fast as we would
go.
83
00:04:23,830 –> 00:04:26,310
We came to a fork in the road
and that’s when we saw it.
84
00:04:26,750 –> 00:04:30,430
Don’t know how to describe it.
It looked like a deer standing
85
00:04:30,430 –> 00:04:36,030
on two legs without hair, but it
had horns and a tail.
86
00:04:36,630 –> 00:04:41,270
These claw like Talon, like
hands with razor blade, sharp
87
00:04:41,270 –> 00:04:44,750
looking fingers.
And the eyes, I’ll never forget
88
00:04:44,750 –> 00:04:48,550
the eyes, they were so dark and
red.
89
00:04:49,030 –> 00:04:52,720
They looked blood.
That’s all I can say is they
90
00:04:52,720 –> 00:04:55,680
looked like the eyes were made
out of blood.
91
00:04:56,160 –> 00:04:59,400
Here, stories like this, where
it’s always at night, nobody got
92
00:04:59,400 –> 00:05:02,360
a clear look at it.
No, this was daylight.
93
00:05:02,360 –> 00:05:05,640
It was as bright as it could be,
and it was looking directly at
94
00:05:05,640 –> 00:05:09,720
us, 20, maybe 30 feet in front
of us, just looking at us.
95
00:05:09,960 –> 00:05:13,720
Father and I both unloaded on
the creature, but it just stood
96
00:05:13,720 –> 00:05:15,680
there.
It took everything that we had
97
00:05:15,680 –> 00:05:19,600
and just looked at us laughing.
And that’s when we heard it
98
00:05:19,600 –> 00:05:22,690
speak.
After just taking every round
99
00:05:22,690 –> 00:05:27,170
that we could throw at it, it’s
spoken and said that won’t work
100
00:05:27,170 –> 00:05:30,770
here.
My dad was almost hypnotized by
101
00:05:30,770 –> 00:05:33,490
those eyes.
He didn’t seem like he was
102
00:05:33,490 –> 00:05:37,490
himself.
He just stood there shocking all
103
00:05:37,490 –> 00:05:39,530
of everything that had just
happened.
104
00:05:39,970 –> 00:05:42,730
I shook him out of whatever
trance he was in and said we
105
00:05:42,730 –> 00:05:45,770
need to go, we need to go.
And that’s what we did.
106
00:05:46,210 –> 00:05:50,910
We rode those Atv’s straight
past the thing and it left.
107
00:05:51,070 –> 00:05:54,030
It left us alone.
Nothing else happened.
108
00:05:54,030 –> 00:05:57,790
We just rode, both of us.
So physically shaken.
109
00:05:58,190 –> 00:06:00,070
We got to the car and we didn’t
even check out.
110
00:06:00,070 –> 00:06:02,870
We just left.
We we got in the car and we
111
00:06:02,870 –> 00:06:05,590
left.
That was almost 10 years ago.
112
00:06:06,150 –> 00:06:07,830
My dad still doesn’t talk about
it.
113
00:06:08,470 –> 00:06:11,230
I wanted to know what it was.
I I tried to do some research
114
00:06:11,230 –> 00:06:14,390
and find out about the land.
Find out about the creature.
115
00:06:14,390 –> 00:06:15,590
What?
What was it?
116
00:06:15,590 –> 00:06:18,070
I’d never seen anything like it
before.
117
00:06:18,480 –> 00:06:21,000
It was like something out of
some sort of nightmare fairy
118
00:06:21,000 –> 00:06:23,200
tale.
The only thing I can come up
119
00:06:23,200 –> 00:06:25,560
with is they’re called window
Goes.
120
00:06:26,080 –> 00:06:28,280
There’s a whole culture and lure
about them.
121
00:06:29,200 –> 00:06:35,640
They’re tormented souls stuck in
1/2 man half beast like body and
122
00:06:35,640 –> 00:06:40,120
they hunt, they hunt men.
Lot of indigenous people,
123
00:06:40,120 –> 00:06:44,400
cultures believe that they are
cursed souls being trapped on
124
00:06:44,400 –> 00:06:47,200
this world for things that they
have done.
125
00:06:47,790 –> 00:06:50,830
I don’t know much more about
them, but I wholeheartedly
126
00:06:50,830 –> 00:06:52,950
believe that’s what we
encountered that day.
127
00:06:53,590 –> 00:06:56,390
And maybe it knew that we
couldn’t stop it, but it
128
00:06:56,390 –> 00:06:59,630
couldn’t stop us either.
I stopped hunting after that.
129
00:07:00,190 –> 00:07:03,070
My dad did too.
He said now that we know what
130
00:07:03,070 –> 00:07:06,470
it’s like to feel like pray, he
could never do that to something
131
00:07:06,470 –> 00:07:08,710
else again.
Tell me what you think in the
132
00:07:08,710 –> 00:07:11,870
comments.
Are there still places on this a
133
00:07:11,870 –> 00:07:14,510
world that we’ve not fully found
everything?
134
00:07:15,030 –> 00:07:17,920
Are there creatures that hide
and wait for their
135
00:07:17,920 –> 00:07:18,920
opportunities?
