[glow=green,2,300]The Skinwalker Ranch in the Uintah Basin of Utah was the site of a long running series of paranormal phenomena. The Sherman (sometimes given as Gorman) family bought the ranch, from absent owners, in the Fall of 1994. The sheer amount of strange events encountered proved incredibly stressful and when they tried to sell the ranch in 1996 the news started to break. The National Institute for Discovery Science picked up this information and bought the ranch for, it is claimed, $200,000. However, nothing about the level of strangeness was known until 2002 when the NIDS allowed a reporter for the Las Vegas Mercury access to the ranch and his two-part article in November 2002 revealed this all too a wider audience. The Uintah Basin is a hotspot for strange phenomena and the ranch is the center of it all and features strongly in Ute legends stretching back generations. Some of the phenomena encountered include: UFO sightings, cattle mutilation, Skinwalkers (which are the shapeshifting witches that are thought to be part of the explanation for a number of strange creatures witnessed in the area), strange sounds, poltergeists and tricksters, crop-circle-like phenomena, large serpents in a nearby pond, magnetic anomalies, and more. I mean, it really doesn't get any weirder than this place. Could it be the weirdest of the weird?[/glow]
