I know quite a bit about the general area, the people involved with the show, and some of the history of the property.

1. The strange happenings allegedly go back to a curse between the Utes and Navajo. This is just a guess on my part, but probably most of what is "strange" about this area relates to this dark medicine.
2. There is nothing particularly odd about Skinwalker with respect to cattle mutilations, UFOs, or other phenomena compared with other areas in the west. Is it a little more common in the Uintah region? Perhaps, but the ranch is not a hotspot by any stretch of the imagination.
3. The ranch was purchased with government funds at one point. It's my belief that much of the most sensational stuff about Skinwalker was fraudulent lies, in an effort to jack up the price of the property.
4. The people as part of the show, and the producers, are pretty much all grifters. The show sensationalizes the most trivial things, and concocts others where there is no evidence whatsoever of anything supernatural.

The only program somewhat worthwhile on the History Channel is The Curse of Oak Island, but after watching this show for several seasons, I'm about done with all the stalling, and people crawling around on their hands and knees with a trowel and whisk broom. They've invested FAR more money into digging up the Money Pit with bore holes and cans, than they would have if they just did the "Big Dig" as has been discussed since the late 1960s. As a matter of fact, the bore holes and cans have probably destroyed much of the treasure...if it exists.
