Publisher's summary

There are some places where so many seemingly unexplainable things happen that it is really hard to believe that there’s not some kind of explanation to make sense of it all. The Skinwalker Ranch is such a place. Unbelievable and still unexplained paranormal activities set the Skinwalker Ranch apart.

Perhaps no place on Earth has been the focal point for as many strange phenomena as the little corner of Utah known as the Skinwalker Ranch. This nebulous stretch of terrain in the Uinta Basin has hosted numerous sightings of blue orbs, UFOs, wolfmen, Bigfoot, and practically every other paranormal bogeyman you could think of. Despite these heady tales of the bizarre, the outside world knew very little about the strange happenings at Skinwalker Ranch until fairly recently. But for the Native Americans of the region, the history of high strangeness goes back at least 1,000 years.

Deep in their ancestral memory, frightening tales of the skinwalker roam across their consciousness. The dread is so great, in fact, that many residents of the nearby Ute Indian Reservation still refuse to set foot in the area known as Skinwalker Ranch. For them, the land is hopelessly cursed and to be avoided at all costs. But for the purpose of this book, we are going to cast these ancient words of wisdom to the wayside and delve right into the thick of things.

Come along with us as we march headlong right into the uncertain and unsettling world of the unknown - right into Skinwalker Ranch!

Good details

I think I’ve read everything there is available about skinwalker ranch and it is the most fascinating thing I’ve ever heard of. This selection had some very good details it was a little more specific than some of the other things I read.

Not bad

I enjoyed the book. The narrator was entertaining but slightly sarcastic. Overall a good read.

Factual pre-2004 history

If you have been watching the Skinwalker series earlier this year “2020” this book fills pre/history in more detail so I found this book very interesting.
I just wish it was a little longer. Maybe somebody will release the Bigelow files that are locked up somewhere detailing his findings. What’s in those private journals that Bigelow won’t disclose ?

Prime for Lovers of Legends and Paranormal Puzzles

Let me open this with huge kudos to the narrator — absolutely fantastic choice for the story and a fabulous job. I say that at the outset because Audio Books are more dependent on the narrator's talent than some publishers seem to understand. Charles D. Baker is simply superb at story-telling, and in particular at spookly, dramatic story-telling! What a great voice and voice artist.

Allowing an aside: far too many audio books are narrated by people who simply should not have the job. Weak voice, voices merrily mispronouncing their way through books, voices that are flat and expressionless, or bizarre attempts to act out all voices in a story by one person — female narrators trying to take on a man's voice and be the man, for example — presumably because the publisher is too cheap to hire more than one narrator for a multi-voice story. I have stopped books dead in their tracks because I could not longer bear the horrible narrator. So upon hearing Charles D. Baker's exquisite story-telling, I was so appreciated and downright giddy and the talent! I am a career broadcaster and voiceover artist myself, so I may be more sensitive to voices than many, but I think Audio Books in general need to do a better job at casting the narrator. Thank you Conrad Bauer for your self-published story with an excellent narrator.

Now — the story itself is legend — and a spookily good one. Gettin the low down on Skinwalker Ranch is informative, entertaining, and worth the time spent. I highly recommend this short book for lovers of the paranormal as well as those interested in Native American lore, or both. Enjoy!

Skinwalker ranch by Bauer

Seems rehash of other information out there on the subject. Still worth a read or glance.

Interesting but poorly narrated

An interesting summary of the unusual phenomena that have occurred for decades at this spot in the Utah. Unfortunately, the narrator read the book like a fairytale which made it sound like pure fiction.

Read far too melodramatically.

Embarrassingly melodramatic narration. Book itself is only slightly so, but the narrator seems to be attempting to do a reading on Halloween, in a Gothic coffeehouse dedicated to Poe, with Chthulu napkins and $9 lattes.

Or like a librarian reading a Scary Story to kindergartners during a field trip.

Just tone it down a bit, pretend the audience is comprised of adults, please?
