Most people on /x/ when referring to skinwalkers are actually talking about a seperate entity. Pic very related; read this and you'll know the basics.

They don't exist, for real. Stop asking about them.

I thought they absorbed animals and their abilities and characteristics ..also becoming more and more beast than man...trapped trying to survive in the wild ..less demon more cursed

>more "skin walker" threads

Why the interest? Were they featured in a normie video game or something?

"Fleshgaits" have no basis in any native american myth or legend. It's literally something made up by reddit tier posters like you. Fuck off.

>>17682299

Even that chart admits that the skinwalker as they attempt to redefine it is stupid and irrelevant. And yet they insist on trying to push "fleshgait" - probably the stupidest fucking name ever - as a replacement for the much more natural, kosher-sounding "skinwalker".

"Formerly skinwalker". No, not formerly you cunt, that's still the name. Your shitty ass graphic doesn't decide what the community calls the fucking thing. Fuck off with "fleshgait". God what a stupid name.

>>17681212
fuck off with this "fleshgait" shit you dumb nigger

it's just someone trying to clarify that when people say skinwalker they probably don't mean the same thing that the originators of the term (native american lore) meant. yes, the word fleshgait is kind of retarded but they do have a point.

>>17680766

I wouldn't worry about it.

All the above ^.

Shit is stupid as fuck and needs to fuck off and die.

I've been listing to coast to coast am and other shows since the fucking 90's. The most and probably closest truth your going to get about skinwalkers/fleshgaits(wtf ever you want tto call them). Is it is native american lore about taking on an animals power. Getting a little bit darker on the lore you have to kill one or all your close relatives probably more because of rampant rape and drunken incest than actually obtaining any type of power.

This shit is the most retard cryptozoological shit ever. Get the fuck outside go camping. nothing there but your mind.

>>17684820
Skinwalkers have been around long before /x/, not everything is a meme.

>I've been listing to coast to coast am

Not everything on there is true

>>17683755

nice try, skinwalkers

pls dump or put in imgur album
i need some good reads

>>17684854
Skinwalkers yes, but not the things /x/ calls skinwalkers.

Those are a fairly recent development in creepypastas around the internet.

Mainly fusing together several different crypto beings like the wendigo and some kind of a shapeshifter or skinstealer (thus skinwalker), and other creepypasta things like the rake.

What /x/ calls a skinwalker seems closer in description to a ghoul

>>17685222
half the shit people call skin walkers on /x/ would be some kind of evil spirit or instance of demonic posession

its not a cryptid when talked about in that manner. cryptids are suppose to have a normal biological body that simply hasnt been discovered by a scientist

>>17680766
it depends on the native beliefs you choose to follor

I have that one. havent read it yet

>>17689015
oh wait i have read it. fuck its a good one though

A couple of weeks ago I heard the story on the radio of three guy that went camping on the forest for a week or so. One Day they were walking through the forest And hear the sound of a baby crying, they stoped And look everywhere but found nothing, this happens To them 3 times, then they found a little goat, which they killed And skinned, it was the last Day of the trip when they found it. They put it in the trunk of the car.When on route the police stop them, bromatolgy control. The police make them open the trunk of the car And found a dead baby there. One of the guys shoot himself, the other is on a madhouse, And the third one is in jail I think. Do this story belongs To the "skinwalkers" type?

>>17681212
I post this in every "skinwalker" thread

>>17681212
That guy on the right isn't a skin walker, he's dressed as Nayenezgani http://navajopeople.org/blog/nayenezgani-slayer-of-alien-gods/

>>17680778
That's actually a wendago, common misconception.

So what exactly are ghouls and wendigos supposed to be?
