Skinwalkers Of North Carolina , A True Story
In western North Carolina there are all kinds of strange and unusual stories and legends of beings living there that most people will tell you don't exist. Mainly what we are going to be taking a look at here is skin walkers. In case you don't know a skin-walker is a human that is able to change from a human to a creature. And right about know I know your probably saying yea right.
But over the years something or someone has lived in the woods of Golden Valley North Carolina and it has not been that many years ago that there were many reported sightings of a human like creature with long finger nails and canine like teeth. The body of the creature reported was said to have long black hair growing on it and the creature was reported as having attacked many farm animals in the area. Some people claimed to have seen the creature stand up on its hind legs and it was reported that the creature or creatures were at or near seven feet tall or taller. There were many reports of the creature being seen and though some people said they got a good shot at it that either they missed it or the creature wasn't harmed by the bullet.
What was the creature or creatures has never been discovered. One story that has been told over and over is that the state brought in a hunter to try to kill the creature and that the state hunter used dogs to chase the creature several times in the Golden Valley North Carolina area but then one day the state hunter packed up his dogs and left the area. The story that went around was that the state hunter had got spooked and refused to hunt the creature or creatures any longer.
The story told was that the state hunter used his dogs to chase the creature out onto a sandbar on a local river. The story goes on that the creature looked like a cross between a man and a big wolf and that when the creature ran out onto the sandbar while being chased by the state hunters dogs and the hunter that it changed from a giant wolf like creature that ran on its hind legs into a big naked man and then the naked man jumped into the river and swam away. The state hunter who was a part American Indian man from South Carolina told the local authorities what he had seen and also told them he and his dogs were going home to South Carolina. That he was done. The local authorities said the hunter was crazy but other people over the years had seen something similar so just maybe the hunter saw what he claimed.

Do Skin Walkers Live In North Carolina
Many people even recently have told of seeing a strange creature in North Carolina that walks up right on two feet and has the body of a man and the head and features of a wolf. Some people have claimed that the beings or creatures being seen are werewolf's or wolf men while other people make the claim that what is being seen is a skin walker. Which is a creature that is human most of the time but on certain nights of the year maybe on the full of the moon the human turns into a seven foot tall man / wolf creature that preys on deer and peoples live stock.
A couple of years ago a deer hunter in the area of Vein Mountain North Carolina says that he had killed and field dressed a doe deer and had just placed the deer onto the back of his truck when two of the skin walker creatures shoved him out of the way and took his deer and ran off into the woods with it. He said that he did not attempt a shot with his bow at the creatures and that he did not intend to hunt in the area again. He said that it was one of the strangest things he had ever seen and he also made the request that his name not be revealed.
Other deer hunters in the area say that while they have not had a deer taken from them that they have seen the strange creatures and for the most part have not returned to the woods after seeing the strange skin walker creatures.
Over the years during the time from 1900 to the 1950's before modern funeral homes and burials people in the area told tales of graves of newly buried people being dug open and quite often the recently deceased persons had been eaten on and some were missing parts. People at the time had called the creatures doing this grave robbers but they had described beings that looked like skin walkers or wolf men. Reports of graves being dug open was reported all over western North Carolina and quite often armed guards and dogs would patrol graveyards at night where recent burials had took place. After people started using the modern funeral homes the tales of the grave robbers or skin walkers gradually died off.
And it was not until in recent years that people began to tell the stories of the strange wolf man like creatures that were once again being seen in western North Carolina. Why did the stories stop for so many years only to start up once again. Where were the skin walkers for all those years that they were not being reported.
What do you think of Skin Walkers? Do they exist? If not what are people seeing in the back woods of western North Carolina? Is it possible that skin walkers really do exist. Its a scary thought isn't it.

nice, I enjoyed the story, we have plenty of those here in the Balkans, as the cradle of vampires and such. But in the end, those are just stories, I will believe once I see for myself, which I doubt will happen.
But again, great story :)
I love lore and legends stories. One never knows for sure about creatures like the skin-walkers -- whether they are real or not has never really been proven. However, they are a part of the lore of our country and so exciting to read about. Thanks for a great hub.
Skinwalkers are a creature I had never heard of before, however the stories of grave robbers eating people and such have been around so long, they have to come from somewhere. There must be some basis for them.
I was recently scouting on a peace of land owned by a friend of mine. I am not a stranger to the woods of N.C. Spent many week ends in a tent since i was a boy and i can say i have seen and hered some strange things but that night scouting was strange we were down by the river miles frome anyone and somethig was throwing stones in the river near us and breaking lims against trees . I know that sounds crazy but it hapened my 12 year old son was with me . And he has yet to speek about what we seen and hered he is afraid people will think we are nuts i wish it was that simple .
it is very interesting and i think they really exists
I may have some skin walker blood in me...
i am interested in all of this and i want to know more about it and i think i may have some signs and symptoms of a skin walker and i believe that there is a skin walker out there .i love this and i just cant get enough
Ok, so i'm brand new with this stuff. Last night I went on my dad's iPhone to look at some ghost stories. && I seen one about these 'Skinwalker' creatures. After I read one of the stories about them I was like 'What the heck are they, I have no clue what they are' so when I got home (I was at this supper thing) I went on google && typed in 'What are skinwalkers' && then I found out what they were, && now i'm scared to go outside in the dark.. But anyway, I was just wondering. Is that one picture of that creepy animal up above, is that real? Cause I can't even look at it without peeing my pants a little. Also, how do you know if your a skinwalker? Is it true that if you rub ash on yourself && talk about them, you're to see them one day? && also i'm not from Arizona or the States.. i'm from Canada && never in my life have I seen one so i'm a little worried. But where in Canada would you see one? Thanks sooo much!
I've heard of this story. Here in NC, many believe stuff is fake until proven otherwise. Honestly, the skinwalkers legend had to come from somewhere..regardless its from a man dressing a wolf skin like some stories, or Native Americans actually having the glorious power to change...its still some weird, creative and interesting stuff.
i was walking in goldon valley one week end and heard some thing growling at me and it was a skin-changer if my brother had not come along i would be dead thank god ?
I believe the story we thought coyotes were in our wood so we set up deer cams instead of seeing coyotes we saw huge animals that looked like a wolf but were the size of a horse.
werewolves will not attack a human unless you threaten it or they work for lucipher but these skinwalkers lived with us at one time. why do wolves attack us it's cause of hunters ignorance for hunting them cause wolves lived among us at one time till we hunted them then the wolves made a prayer to make them half wolf half man but it was only some wolves

Fascinating. I really love to learn of these myths and legends. I never divorce myself from them entirely as I am sure there is a grain of truth from which the stories sprouted.
