      <title>Skinwalker Ranch: Introduction</title>
      <link>https://qualla.com/skinwalker-ranch/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Photo credit Paul from USA, CC BY-SA 2.0. In 1994, the Sherman family bought a 512-acre ranch in Utah's Uintah Basin, hoping to raise cattle in quiet isolation. What they experienced instead drove them to sell within two years. UFOs hovered over the property. Cattle were found mutilated with surgical precision. Poltergeist activity plagued the house. Most disturbingly, the family reported seeing large, wolf-like creatures impervious to gunfire - what the local Ute tribe called 'skinwalkers.' In 1996, billionaire Robert Bigelow purchased the ranch for paranormal research. His team, the National Institute for Discovery Science, spent years documenting inexplicable phenomena. In 2016, the ranch sold again to a shell company later revealed to be owned by Utah real estate mogul Brandon Fugal. A History Channel series now documents ongoing investigations. Skinwalker Ranch has become the most famous paranormal hotspot in America - and possibly the most studied, though what exactly is being studied remains unclear.]]></description>
