Skinwalker Ranch: From Sherman Ranch to a Hub of Paranormal Claims, Investigations, and Pop Culture

To the point

Skinwalker Ranch is a 512-acre Utah property that drew attention for paranormal and UFO activity starting in the 1970s, with the Myers and Sherman families in the 1990s reporting strange events, investigated by researchers like Colm Kelleher and John B. Alexander, funded by Robert Bigelow’s National Institute for Discovery Science, popularized by George Knapp in Hunt for the Skinwalker, later bought by Brandon Fugal (via Adamantium Real Estate) who added fences, cameras, and trademarks, and now forming partnerships with the Hutchings Museum Institute while remaining a fixture in local folklore and popular culture due to its proximity to the Uintah and Ouray Reservation.

Skinwalker Ranch - Wikipedia

Skinwalker Ranch, a 512-acre Utah property formerly Sherman Ranch, gained notoriety for alleged paranormal and UFO activity beginning in the 1970s and escalating in 1994–1996 with reports of cattle mutilations, glowing orbs, red-eyed animals, and other phenomena investigated by the Myers and Sherman families and researchers including George Knapp and John B. Alexander, leading to Robert Bigelow's 1996 purchase and funding of the National Institute for Discovery Science, the publication Hunt for the Skinwalker (2005) by Colm Kelleher and Knapp, broader attention that even drew Defense Intelligence Agency interest and political figures, while skeptics such as Robert Sheaffer and James Randi questioned the claims; ownership passed in 2016 to Brandon Fugal via Adamantium Real Estate LLC, access was restricted with fences and cameras, trademarks were filed in 2017 and registered by 2020, a 2022 partnership with the Hutchings Museum Institute was announced to study the environment and history, and the ranch has permeated popular culture through The History Channel's The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, Joe Rogan's show, and various books, films, and podcasts, all set near the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation and wrapped in local folklore around cattle mutilations.
