At the time, I recorded it in my journal and gave no thought to it, except at night for about a month after wards due to some fear. I had no idea what it was I saw. Well today I found an article on line concerning an animal that looks just like the one I saw. He saw it about 10 miles down the road from where I live. He saw it on June 1st. The article also said a few other sighting in the area have been reported of the same creature. I did a bit of research and thought it might be a skin walker.
Does anyone have any insights on skin walkers?

I can not lend too much insight here other than personal experiences of my own with things similar to skin walkers, only what I have found are things which take the form of people- imagine even someone you may know- very often more so someone you know already. Whereas skin walkers are said to be witches- sorcerers (?) whom take on animal form. Or that is the myth. I with my own paranormal experiences am very open minded to many possibilities- therefore it would not surprise me if I were to be told by someone with experience that non human entities- like my such experiences- could also take the form of animals as well.
My brother in fact had a raven/ crow fly to the bedroom window and speak to him. He felt this entity to not be human. I trust my brother and his word ultimately. I've known him not to lie to me.
He has no mental illness, and would be aware whether or not this experience was a dream. According to him it was not, and I did make sure to ask him if that was a possibility.
My belief personally is that such things, by my own personal experiences and by experiences of others I know, is that yes. These things do exist.
That said and the truth of the matter is I can not shed any more light than that. I only have my own experiences to go on, and I would need more knowledge of these things in a personal way- via experiencing, sightings, etc. That is not written.
Besides the fact I only have what I have learned via personal experience to go on, I am not Navajo. The Skin walker is relative to the Navajo people. They themselves therefore would know more.
I am only 3 percent Native, and my skin appears as white as a ghost. Regardless I respect greatly all native beliefs. Even if I was not that small 3 percent myself. I am still unsure of my Native genealogy on my mother's side, I have come to find recently on my fathers side I am blackfoot. I do not know much about the blackfoot people. Such scarce are the old ways I often hear about. I hear and hear about but I never truly know.
This is heartbreaking. I came from somewhere, and do not rightly know what my ancestors believed. And that is if my father isn't simply outright lying to me. I do know that 3 percent exists no matter the exact Native tribe. I saw those papers myself.
That is all I truly know about skin walkers, which isn't much. It is truly unfortunate for those of us who very much would like to get back to our roots, but those whom know these things are more than well aware of exactly to which tribe they belong.
I belong by blood, but am pale.
One trained in learned in Navajo spirituality would very possibly know much more, and also if what for information written out there is true or false.
In my case I will unfortunately as an outsider never have the answers I seek to the very nightmarish questions that haunt me. The what does this experience mean? I've had to put endless hours of research into this on my own, and even then like I said- those whom the belief comes from are more likely to know whether what I have read is a lie or not, and they are not speaking to me. To each their own.
Initiated on a medicine path with no one simply to talk to about it.
It is lonely, depressing, frustrating, and I'd give up if I had a choice.
And I don't.
I don't because to choose not to walk my path would mean death.....
And I refuse to do that.
I post to share what little I know of this, but also to let you know I believe you Gracey. I believe it is as you say, and you in fact did experience this.
It is very hard to try and find others whom understand our own experiences not because they have intellectual knowledge, but because they too have walked it, experienced it or something very similar, and whom believe us.
I have no doubt you speak the truth.
