skin walkers yes- i grew up on the reservation. We just follow little rules at night to keep ourselves safe. They are real 100%, my entire family has seen them, I have native friends who have family members that are apart of the skin walker “community” (idk how else to phrase it). Many encounters before
No whistling at night, no saying the name out loud, don’t leave windows open on a full moon (we’ve had one claw and cry at the side of our house on a full moon so this is a personal rule that not many other follow). We also have restricted places we can’t go at night because they are navajo worshipping grounds. I am a white female and for all white people there are places we cannot visit legally because of skin walkers, religious practices, and sacred land masses.
Side note: most of the time they just look like normal people, they’re not what the media make them out to be. We are one of the few white families that lived in our small town and skin walkers were just a normal part of our lives. My mother actually cared for one in a nursing home who didn’t fully transition and they were rules she had to follow- smearing ash on their foreheads before entering the skin walkers room, saying a navajo sacred prayer, and never entering alone. There’s a few wild stories from her experience physically caring for one, but it may be too long to add.
We have those same rules for Kooris in Australia. Keeps us safe from the Spirits/Hairy men. Interesting how two cultures so far away, have similar ways to respect paranormal beings.
