Across the American Southwest, stories of skinwalkers and other strange humanoid creatures have circulated for generations. From the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico to the remote forests of Colorado, military personnel and civilians alike have described encounters with things that seem to defy any familiar explanation.

Drawn from firsthand accounts, including those of a former Royal Marine Commando and U.S. Army soldiers, these stories explore disturbing encounters with mysterious figures, creatures that appear to mimic human voices, and animals behaving in seemingly impossible ways. From an isolated desert road outside Phoenix to the forests near Fort Carson and the training grounds of Fort Bliss, these experiences left witnesses questioning what they had actually seen.
