A Navajo Ranger’s chilling and clear-eyed memoir of his investigations into bizarre cases of the paranormal and unexplained in Navajoland

As a Native American with parents of both Navajo and Cherokee descent, Stanley Milford Jr. grew up in a world where the supernatural was both expected and taboo, where shapeshifters roamed, witchcraft was a thing to be feared, and children were taught not to whistle at night.

In his youth, Milford never went looking for the paranormal, but it always seemed to find him. When he joined the fabled Navajo Rangers—a law enforcement branch of the Navajo Nation who are equal parts police officers, archeological conservationists, and historians—the paranormal became part of his job. Alongside addressing the mundane duties of overseeing the massive 27,000-square-mile reservation, Milford was assigned to utterly bizarre and shockingly frequent cases involving mysterious livestock mutilations, skinwalker and Bigfoot sightings, UFOs, and malicious hauntings.

In The Paranormal Ranger, Milford recounts the stories of these cases from the clinical and deductive perspective of a law enforcement officer. Milford’s Native American worldview and investigative training collide to provide an eerie account of what logic dictates should not be possible.

interesting stories, interesting to hear from native American perspective. narration is halting and choppy so difficult to listen to, although the narrator's voice tone is very pleasant. changing the speed to 1.2 was helpful.

This is a lovely and touching biography of Stanley Milford Jr. He shares stories of his culture, his childhood and his path into law enforcement. WE learn the about patrolling the reservation and his investigations of cryptids and the paranormal. In his culture, they are taken quite seriously and he notes several notable cases. The ending was a bit sad, but I am glad he's found fulfillment in his retirement. It has brought more recognition (that he wasn't looking for), but more satisfaction in assisting others. The author narrates his book. I hope he shares more stories.

The stories and the general outlook are really interesting, but the plodding and flat narration made it a hard listen. I had to turn the speed up to 1.3x just to keep going.

Interesting, though some authors shouldn’t read their own books

First Hand Experience from a Navajo Ranger

Many of us have lived with the feeling, there is more to what we euphemistically call "reality." It is like a splinter in our minds, we can't quite get out.

Shadows seen from the corners of our eyes. Searching for items and then finding those items in plain view where you'd just searched. Picking up your phone to call someone, only to have the phone ring in your hand with the person on the other end of the line.

We KNOW there's much more at work than is explained conventionally. This book takes you into the heart of the mystery. The author, in a calm, measured way, takes you on a journey of experience.

He doesn't embellish, he tells you concisely and clearly what he observed, documented and experienced.

Fantastic! I've lived the majority of my life on the Navajo Reservation and I had no idea we had Paranormal Rangers. Yes, I heard of sightings and stories. Yet, I had no idea they were being investigated by paranormal rangers. That is so cool! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It answered many of my own questions. Ahe'ee.
