The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020) s02e04 Episode Script
There's No Place Like Homestead 2
1
Of all these phenomena that
happened when you were here,
- what do you think it is?
- It's a portal.
- You got the trackers?
- Got the trackers.
Each cow we put on the
place becomes a bio sensor.
Animals seem to
have that sixth sense.
There was matted grass
where something heavy had sat.
I presume
that it was a spaceship.
Have you ever tried
to open up a portal?
That I haven't done, but we're
gonna give it a shot tonight.
Look, you can see the
mesa glow in that camera.
Thomas has spotted
a light.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Right here.
There is a ranch
in northern Utah.
It is considered the epicenter
of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on earth.
Animal mutilations,
bizarre ufo sightings
and unusual energies that
have proven harmful to humans.
For 20 years, the
federal government
tried to find
answers and failed.
Now a new team of
dedicated scientists,
researchers and
experts has taken over.
They are determined to
solve the mystery and reveal.
The secret of skinwalker ranch.
Is this your guy?
Hey, guys. I want you
to meet Pete Kelsey.
- Hi, Pete. I'm Bryant.
- Hey, Bryant.
Erik invited Pete Kelsey,
who's a lidar expert,
out to the ranch to help us
with a follow-up investigation
on homestead two.
After our meeting last week
with retired army colonel
john Alexander, who believes
that portals might exist there,
we conducted a laser
experiment to try and prove it.
No definitive
evidence was obtained,
but we did experience a
sudden drop in temperature
- inside the old building.
- Hey, Travis.
Did you feel that
temperature drop?
And then we saw a strange
light in the field nearby.
And that indicates that
something was happening.
Wait, wait, stop. Thought
I saw something move.
We've got these sites
on that end of the ranch
that, we would really like
to get a higher resolution
imagery of and maybe
even a 3d model if, you know,
- if that-that works out.
- That's what I do.
Great, get your equipment, let's
load up and let's go down, then.
If the lidar scanning
device that Pete has brought
can create a 3d image
of the homestead area,
and we see anomalies in
the visual data such as bends
or strange shapes
that shouldn't be there
Y'all ready?
We can then pinpoint
those exact spots
for more precise investigations
and hopefully figure out what
the heck is happening there.
What's going on here?
Well, this is, what we
call homestead two.
This area right here
is a hotbed of, activity.
Obviously, we inherited
a narrative around here,
and a lot of the
stories well, and even
some of the experiences
we have had personally
Have been centralized
around the old homesteads.
In addition to possible
portal phenomena,
there are lots of other
stories about homestead two
going back more than a century,
where early ranchers
and native people
believe they saw ufos,
heard disembodied voices,
and even encountered
mysterious, wolf-like creatures.
I've got little bit
of a headache
or something happening.
Last year, I had my
own experience there
when I was hit by a dangerous
spike of ionizing radiation.
Mine's beeping.
And right after wards,
really bizarre burn marks
appeared on my face and hand.
Anything we can
learn about this place,
I realize that this is
just geometric data
that we're getting, but
that's-that's where we start.
- Okay.
- You want, you want to just start here
then and go through these?
Yeah, I think we use
the mobile hand held
'cause we can make
quick work of this.
This piece of gear
I have with me
is a slam-based scanner
called a hover map.
So slam scanning,
the slam stands
for simultaneous
localization and mapping.
Just think of it as a-an
amazing laser scanner that can
create super, super accurate
three-dimensional data.
The lidar works by sending out
infrared laser beams that will
bounce off of any objects
or structures in the local area.
And this will ultimately
bounce back and be detected
and enable us to create a
3d replica of the entire area.
Now, this is going to help us
look for strange phenomena
that might be at homestead two
that we can't see
with our naked eye.
So, I'm just gonna hit "scan."
It's gonna take a second.
You are scanning.
Off you go.
You can walk at normal speed.
And just sort of paint the air.
Just swing your arm in an arc.
Yeah, cause the more that
scanner head is pointed at,
the more data you're gonna get.
Okay, I'm gonna
go inside of this.
I'm gonna poke
my head back here.
I don't mind telling
you this place is creepy.
- Okay, I'm gonna be coming back out.
- Okay. Sure.
And I'm going to
swing to the left.
And catch this space
between these two buildings.
- Just sweep with it and you'll get more.
- Got it.
There you go.
So, I'm gonna finish this
portion of the homestead
and then I'll probably make
a sweep back that way.
Okay.
Effectively, we've made
a complete loop on this
Yeah.
- Homestead.
- It's-it's gonna be good data.
- So you got that covered?
- Yeah. I think so.
All right, guys,
we'll see y'all in a bit.
Yep.
- Well, hello. Hey, guys.
- How are you doing?
Hello there. Hey, jim.
I want to introduce you to
Roland, a very close friend
- and confidant.
- Hi.
- Kandus. Nice to meet you.
- This is kandus. Roland.
- I'm tom.
- A couple weeks ago,
the family of the
late junior hicks,
a man who spent more
than 60 years documenting
the high strangeness
of skinwalker ranch
and the uinta basin,
shared some of his
archived research
to help us with
our investigations.
You know, I don't think
anybody's ever shown
data like that before.
Roland mccook is someone
who is not only referenced
in junior hicks' research
but also claims to have had
a traumatic experience
right at homestead two.
So, while we were waiting for
the lidar data to be processed,
jim Morse was able to get
Roland to come and share his story.
So, you're very
familiar with this area.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it
looks, it looks a lot different.
- Does it?
- I bet.
I was born and raised
here in the basin.
Skinwalker ranch was
approximately about
two to three miles
away from my house.
So, about ten years old, I'd
go up on top of these mesas
and hunt for rabbits.
What I saw, it's always
haunted me for years.
I stayed mainly
up on these ridges,
on the mesas rabbit-hunting,
and that house down there,
at that time, was abandoned,
with the trees around it.
- One of the homesteads?
- Yeah.
- Probably homestead two, yeah.
- Yeah. Yeah. -Yeah.
And so, that's where
things, I think, started for me.
Should we do you
want to drive, tom?
Great, let's go.
This is really important,
to hear these stories,
because it's painting
a picture of what
this ranch is about,
and all the strange
phenomena that happens here.
You know, there's
the science side,
but there's also this
human aspect involved.
So, how does it feel
right now to be back here?
It's a little I'm
a little nervous.
- Yeah.
- Not-not you know, to be honest.
A little nervous. This is I
think this is where it, um
- Began?
- It-it began here, yeah.
The-the
Everything from there.
All everything
Went from there. Yeah.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
How did it start? Tell
us walk us through
Well, when we was up there,
the weather was moving in
and we was looking
for a place to shelter,
um, get out of the weather.
We came in here, and
I didn't really want to go
into All the way
into the building,
um, but the person I
was with, he just said,
"come on in, let's get in
farther in, into the building."
And so, we went farther on in,
and when we got in
there, while we was waiting,
I was looking out
the door and I heard,
like, scurrying.
Something moving, and I turn,
and farther in,
that back corner,
some stuff fell over,
just got knocked over.
I told him, "that sounds
bigger than a raccoon."
I took off, grabbed my gun,
- and out the door I went after it.
- Wow.
We thought it was
raccoons at the beginning,
raccoons or squirrels
or mice running around,
and then things started
getting knocked over,
and that's when we
thought, "well, there's-there's
something else
going on in here,"
and then you get that
cr kind of creepy feeling
that s there's
something more.
We were looking,
looking for tracks.
We noticed there
were human footprints.
No shoes on.
It was like human footprints.
- Wow.
- In the snow?
In the snow, yeah.
And I followed the tracks,
and then all of a sudden
it turned from human
footprints to a big dog tracks.
Like a wolf.
And it came out red eyes,
probably like eight feet tall.
And then it just,
it pointed at me.
Whatever it is
doesn't belong here.
We shot we started
shooting, he had a semi auto
and, "pop, pop, pop, pop."
And all you hear is
The biggest roar.
Just
loudest roar I ever heard.
And after that, it
just, it was gone.
We took off.
I've heard that this
ground here is the gateway
for these shape-shifters,
or these skinwalkers.
Yeah.
The legend of the skinwalker
really initiated back
in the mid-1800s.
This is when the,
Navajo and the Utes
got into more than a skirmish.
The, Utes, they say,
were a-abusing the Navajo
at the time, using them
somewhat as slaves.
And the Navajos ended
up cursing, the Utes.
And the Sherman family,
who lived on the property
in the 1990s, they encountered
these giant wolf-like creatures,
that the native Americans
would refer to as skinwalkers,
that started attacking their
cattle, and were literally
impervious to, you
know, to gunshots.
What happened after that?
We got home. We
would I would.
I would hear things at night.
Things at the window.
I'd lay down and put
the pillow on my head,
and they'd come around,
and you could hear their hands
or claws just, like,
going across the building.
- Growling the whole time.
- Yeah.
And it still, you
know, that, it
The vibration and everything
right to your soul and
- Yeah. Yeah.
- I was just, like,
- "what did we do?"
- yeah.
- Hold on.
- Yeah.
You okay? Hey.
Is something hurt? You okay?
Do you want to move
away from this building?
- Want to get away?
- Yeah.
- I got a little dizzy there.
- Are you blacking out?
- Hold on to me.
- Getting dizzy? - No, no,
- I think I'm okay now.
- Why don't you hang on to me?
- You okay?
- Hang on to me just for
He was obviously very
emotional, and it all came to a head
when he just about
passed out on me.
You could I could see
his eyes roll back in his head
as he turned and looked at
me, and I think he just reached
his breaking point.
- Why don't you hang on?
- You okay?
- Hang on to me just for
- Yeah.
Strangely enough, where
Roland almost fainted was
right in front of the cistern
behind homestead two.
There's been some strange
events that have happened
in that exact spot.
That's where Travis
Taylor got radiation burns.
People visit that
go catatonic and,
just lose their sense
of place and time.
- You still dizzy?
- No.
- I'm good. Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah?
I think you're-you're
still a little shaky, man.
I'm just gonna s-stand
right here with you, okay?
This area here can really
You can get disoriented
really, really fast.
Yeah.
It's almost like it just
creeps up on you.
So, there is something
out here, Roland.
Yeah. Yeah.
What I saw, it I think
it was a skinwalker.
And the feeling that I got,
that fear I had of it, came back.
That's hard to explain.
If you wouldn't
mind, guys, I'd like to
- be here by myself.
- Have a moment.
- And-and, yeah, have a moment.
- Absolutely.
- Just a little bit of closure.
- Absolutely.
We-we'll be here.
Thank you so much.
I knew I needed to come back
here for me to get this closure.
With that sage, I'm praying to
my god, my father,
to help me move past this
and to protect me once I leave,
so nothing will follow me back.
Hopefully this helps it
find its peace and move on.
Time will tell, on-on this.
I'm a firm believer that
there are things that are
unknown to us,
and I think it got
into his psyche.
My prayer is, with Roland,
to hopefully bring
closure to 40 years
of being tormented
by this phenomenon.
So, did you say that uncle
jim got Roland off of the ranch?
- Yes, he did safely escort him.
- Okay.
So, after we heard about
Roland he became disoriented
and nearly passed
out at homestead two
We decided to load up in the utv
and get out there and see
if we could find anything.
We don't know if this gentleman
had a medical issue or what,
but given my experience at
homestead two, we brought Geiger
counters, dosimeters, and
trifield meters out there in
case unusual levels of
radiation could be detected that
would indicate if something out
of the ordinary was happening.
Erik, you got the
Geiger counter rolling?
It's rolling.
- My dosimeter's on.
- Okay.
Roland was beside
me in front of the cistern.
- We were all looking toward the field.
- Yeah.
So he was standing here,
he kind of turned to me,
his eyes rolled
back in his head,
and just kind of landed on me.
Did you guys have a trifield
meter or a spectrum analyzer?
- Or a dosimeter?
- Nope.
If we're gonna come
into places like this,
like homestead two or
homestead three or places,
you know, other than just,
you know, around the house,
I think we need to figure out
which instruments we should
always take with us in case
something like that does happen.
Then we actually get the
data and make sure that
So you're not being
exposed to something.
I wish you guys
could have been here
and just kind of
experienced this guy
because he was,
he's the real deal.
And I f you know, I
felt what he was feeling.
Well, we'll tell you that
I'm seeing an unusually
high magnetic field level
right in this area that I
wasn't finding right there,
and-and this is
backing it up, too.
So, two instruments
here I'm seeing
What are we looking
at on the radiation
spectrum, anything?
It's, it's troubling.
We're getting neutron
counts that I don't think
we should be getting.
Um, so, I want, I want y'all
to go on and move around.
Me and Erik will try and
sweep, see if we can find it.
Okay, we'll just move to the
front of the homestead area.
- Yep.
- You guys good?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Where in the hell are
neutrons coming from?
It wasn't a dangerous
level of neutrons,
but, again, it was a
higher than normal level.
Which is an anomaly.
Now, I don't know if it's
connected to what happened
to mr. Mccook or if
our experiments here
at homestead two could
be stimulating a response
from something that
is still unknown to us.
What I do know is that
homestead two needs to remain
the focus of our investigations
right now on skinwalker ranch.
Make sure that we don't
detect anything that's dangerous
before we let people just
come wander around in here.
Okay.
Thank you for indulging
us and racing us out here.
Of course.
Hey. Hey, Pete. Welcome back.
Did you get all
that data crunched?
- I did.
- Pete Kelsey is back
with us for a return and report,
having crunched all the data
collected during his surveys
out at the homestead two area.
We're all anxious to review
and to see if anything
unusual shows up.
Okay, I want to show
you the slam lidar.
You took the hover
map and went for a walk
around the structures,
the buildings.
That is what this is.
Now, admittedly,
it's pretty dirty.
Well, let's kind
of walk through it
and just see if we see anything.
Now that we have a precise
3d image of the buildings
and all the trees and the
foliage at homestead two,
we can examine the
site from different angles
and look for any unusual
phenomena in the area
that we wouldn't be able
to see with the naked eye.
It really does have a spooky
appearance, doesn't it?
- Appropriately.
- Right.
What-what I like is that
we can see through it
- right now. Yeah.
- It's very ghostly. - Right.
Whoa, what is that?
I mean, that's not
a data point, right?
There should be a lot
more data points right there
with the two rooms.
I mean, you walked in there.
Something odd happened here.
So, here's the
house in the back.
I mean, look how well
this is all covered up here.
Let me zoom back out.
So, there's the top of it.
What happened to
all this data right here?
Where is it?
- Can't explain it.
- It's like there's data missing.
The slam scan
lidar data is showing
the foliage and the
outlines of the buildings,
but where we should be seeing
the inside of the main house,
it's just a black hole.
And the data that you do
have came from the door,
- not from being inside.
- Holy cow. Look at that.
And that means when you
walked inside the building,
it didn't take any data.
Guys, I dwelt for minutes
inside of these rooms.
There should be tons of data
here that we're not seeing.
That is spooky right there.
The only data you got
was from the outside in.
What is it about this
spot inside the building?
So, Pete, have in
your time of doing this,
have you seen other
models that are similar to this
where you are
lacking data in a place
that you definitely
walked through?
The short answer is no,
because I was with Erik.
He was in that room and
the hover map was working.
That's just strange to me.
Since the slam scanner
appears to have gotten good data
everywhere at homestead
two except inside the old house,
I don't know how to
scientifically explain that.
All I can think about is how
colonel john Alexander told us
he believes there could
be a portal at that location.
Man, this is crazy.
I-I mean, something odd
is happening right there.
Well, the data keeps
adding up that we can't
get data at that spot.
Or something doesn't want
us to get the data there, right?
Well, I got to tell you that,
it gives us some
things to think about,
some-some points that
we need to go look at.
Guys, this really meets
and exceeds my expectations.
I'm thrilled to have these data.
- Thank you.
- Thanks, Pete.
There he is. How
you doing, Ariel?
- How you doing, brother?
- Great to see you.
- Nice to see you again.
- Great to see you.
I've worked with this team to
do everything we can think of
to apply hard science
in our investigations
of the strange phenomena that
keep happening at homestead two.
We've tried
ground-penetrating radar,
laser scanning, lidar scanning,
drilling and even excavating,
and gotten no
definitive answers.
All I know is that
when we poke this nest,
weird things seem to happen.
So I've decided to
invite a special guest
to see if his methods can help.
- Ariel, I'm Erik bard.
- Erik.
Rabbi Ariel tzadok is not
only a scholar and teacher
of Judaism, but also an expert
in how that belief system might
explain the portal phenomenon
that we've been investigating.
I don't generally conduct
mystical experiments or rituals,
but at this point, I don't
know what we have to lose.
I was just telling the guys
that you were explaining to me
how the Jewish faith
looks a little differently
at some of these
strange phenomenon
than the christian faith.
So I don't get it wrong, why
don't you just explain that?
All right, let's go back to
a little bit of bible study.
The bible makes mention
of other indigenous
races upon our earth.
I'm not a scientist,
I'm a clergyman.
And I came to look at
what is expressed here.
Not from a point of
a scientific anomaly,
but from a spiritual
point of view.
Recognize that the bible
does speak of these entities.
They exist in what in religion
we'll call a spiritual plane.
I guess maybe in
modern terminology,
you might consider that a
fourth dimension of space.
You're the scientist.
You'll discover that.
What seems to be happening
here is that there very well might be
an indigenous earth spirit.
Who has called this place home
for as long as it
has been alive.
And the one thing that
they find the most offensive
is when human beings
encroach upon their domain.
There are times on this property
where you do get the sense
of malevolence a little bit.
This reality which we think
is the only reality Isn't.
You could actually have
portals opening and closing
on this property with a living,
non-human, intelligent entity.
Right.
Coming and then disappearing.
- Yeah.
- Coming and going.
- Profound.
- Now, Ariel
has told me that the
Hebrew rabbis know of a thing
called tonal technologies.
It's an acoustic technology
that is believed to be able
to open up the heavens,
or a pathway or a doorway.
A portal, if you will.
My method, I believe
seeing is believing.
So, what I believe to do
is to teach others to
see for themselves.
- So, that's what it's all about.
- So, let's talk about
how we're gonna do that now.
We are going to
create a sacred place
and do the traditional prayers
for opening of the gates.
We will specifically
invite whatever is here,
if it's willing, to communicate,
to show some sign,
because these entities
are out there.
I already sense it.
The holy! Right there.
What is that?
- What is that?
- We got, we got something.
Hold on. Right there.
- Yeah, I see it.
- Yeah.
It's where it was last time.
It just went away. Dang it.
Right under the sun,
and it was right in that,
portion of the sky.
While Ariel is talking to us
about how he hopes that he can
reach whatever the
phenomena is here on the ranch,
suddenly we notice to
the west there is something
glowing in the sky.
It's been popping up
in that same spot
that it always pops up.
Did you see it?
- You saw it, right?
- I saw it.
There it is again. It's back.
There it is again, right there.
It's gone again.
And it's in the same place
- every time.
- Same exact spot.
- Yes.
- This object - that we're seeing,
it shows up, it
glints really brightly,
and then disappears
as if into a speck.
It was pretty crazy.
- Now it's gone.
- So, guys?
- Yeah.
- The transponder data receiver
is running, cameras are running.
I think we need to get
out to the homesteads
and start our-our process.
Let's go. Let's-let's load up.
Let's get let's get there.
Let's go talk to it.
- You got it? - Got it?
- Yep.
Thomas winterton always says,
"when new people
come on the ranch,
the ranch responds to it."
- I've got this
- I've got everything I need.
- I'm ready.
- I don't know
what to think, but it's weird
that just as rabbi tzadok
has come to skinwalker ranch
for the express purpose
of trying to reveal
portal phenomena, we
clearly see something
glowing and then
disappear in the sky.
I don't know what
that was, but I saw it.
You know, Travis
has talked about
wanting to poke
the hornet's nest
and see what comes flying out.
Well, we're about to.
We'll see what happens.
I'll tell you right
now, I'm really excited
- for this ceremony.
- Absolutely.
Well, here we are.
This is homestead two.
This is a good place.
This is a rock let's
see if we can work with.
At this time, we're going
to create a sacred space,
and if there is
an entity out here,
which feels that
we are intruding,
this will be a place as
an offering of peace.
As if saying, "no, we
are not here to encroach,
we are not here for harm."
Because these entities,
they understand energy.
And if they feel the place
and power of holiness,
it will be like coming to a
campfire on a cold night,
that they can come for warmth.
Let's see if we can find
- some rocks, if we can
- You bet.
- To put around here.
- How big and how many?
Just enough to cover.
- Okay.
- So, like, two to three feet away
- from the center stone?
- That would be fine.
- Okay.
- That would be fine.
As an astrophysicist, I
approach every experiment
using the scientific method.
But as a scientist, you have to
be open to examining a problem
from all points of view
to find a potential solution.
Maybe a more exotic approach is
what we need for this experiment
to actually yield results.
Kaleb, that's good.
All right, then.
All right, well, we've
got all of th our gear,
so I think it's time we start
setting up for nighttime.
- Yep.
- Let's grab our stuff, guys.
Let's see what happens.
I guess those just go by
the table, the pelican cases.
- Yep.
- And, dragon, we'll work on that computer,
- we got to set it up to the audio system.
- Okay.
Rabbi tzadok told us
that according to
religious doctrine,
this particular tonal ceremony
could only be effective
if performed after dark.
This will be interesting.
Yeah. It's been
interesting so far.
So, in addition to our spectrum
analyzers and trifield meters,
which will detect any
anomalous energy spikes
if something happens,
we're also going to set up
infrared cameras
with night vision
to document anything
out of the ordinary
that might not be
visible to the naked eye
and a thermal scanner to monitor
strange drops in temperature.
I think the mic stands
should go about right there.
And finally, we're going
to make a recording
during and after
the rabbi's ceremony
to capture any strange
audio frequencies
or unnatural sounds that
may occur out here tonight.
- Looks like we should be good.
- Okay.
Erik, you about got
that camera situated?
- Yeah.
- We good?
Erik, you've got the
forward-looking infrared camera,
set up and ready and recording.
We've got the
night vision googles.
Are they, set up on the
camera? Are they going?
Yeah, the nvg
is rolling as well.
They're both trained
on the homestead area
- and the trees above.
- All right.
We've got, the microphone
connected to speakers,
and we're gonna
be blasting that, but
we are also recording it.
And any other sounds
that the microphone picks up
will be recorded in
that, we can look at later.
And back in my trailer,
we've got the spectrum
analyzer running,
measuring all of the microwaves
for the antennas
pointing this way.
And that's all being
recorded as well?
- That's all being recorded, yeah.
- Okay.
So, if something
happens, I mean,
hopefully we'll catch
at least parts of it.
Many of the stories
that have been told
about this place
is that there have
been opening of portals.
Through the centuries,
many of the sages, prophets,
shamans and the like,
have recognized that there
are certain types of sounds,
harmonics we
call them chants
That can somehow
influence the movement
or interactions
with these portals.
What I'm gonna be doing now
is the traditional
evening prayers
that are recited at this
time in our torah tradition.
So, on that note, if
everybody's okay
- Yes, sir.
- I'm going to begin.
Thank you.
I do sense a
presence in this land,
and I sense that this is
a very old presence here.
I asked for its
permission to be here.
I asked if I could give
a blessing to the land
because this is the
land which god has made
and it's the role of
a rabbi, of course,
to be a conduit of
the blessings of god.
So, Ariel starts his ceremony,
and while he's doing the chant,
I happen to notice that
there is some kind of anomaly
in front of the doorway
of homestead two.
Erik, come here a minute.
You seeing something?
Look at the difference
in the flir imagery now.
It's completely changed.
I have not seen
this do this before.
It shouldn't have changed
that drastically all of a sudden.
The flir imagery
completely changed.
It's like the canopy of
the trees was super hot.
And then everything
underneath it where the house is
I mean, look it, it's
just completely cold.
Yeah, it's like in
temperature layers, now.
It shouldn't have changed
that drastically all of the sudden.
One of the most unexpected
and interesting artifacts that
we see during this exercise
is that immediately
after the ceremony
had drawn to a close,
the temperature around
the homestead itself
began to drop.
It began to plummet.
That's usually
indicative of a presence.
Remember, these entities
are always described
as being very cold.
So, what that means is suddenly
the treetops are super warm,
and everything
underneath it got super cool.
Guys, look now. Look right here.
You see how the heat
is coming down this tree.
Yeah.
And it's heating up around
this area and it's creating
this cold vortex in
the middle, suddenly.
That's that is odd.
And now it's heating up. Look.
Now it's heating
up, in the middle of it.
Suddenly, the temperature
over the homestead
area turns extremely hot,
and then it starts to fall
and it wraps around
the homestead.
I'm not sure what is going
on with homestead two,
what it is about the place,
but since I have been here,
we've measured crazy radio
and microwaves down there.
I had radiation
exposure symptoms
from a signal that
appeared to be gamma rays.
It was really strange.
I'm going down there.
You better take
something with you.
Yes, I want the
spectrum analyzer.
Erik, why don't you try
to guide us right in here?
- Please keep an eye on the monitor.
- Okay.
- And if something changes, let us know.
- All right.
There's some kind
of anomaly going on
down here at homestead two
where alleged portals had been seen.
And now we're seeing an
anomaly through our flir camera
after a rabbi does a
ceremony to open portals?
There is nothing gonna keep
me from going down there
to see what's going on.
Thomas and-and dragon and I,
we need to take instruments
down there right now.
I am going to record, start
recording on this camera.
- Hey, come here.
- Feel the difference?
Wow.
- It's freezing right here.
- It is freezing cold.
- Absolutely cold right here.
- My goodness.
Okay, you are right in
the center of that region.
It is freezing cold right here
in front of the homestead.
As soon as we walked in
front of homestead number two,
it was probably
20 degrees colder.
I mean, it was instantaneous,
like walking into
a walk-in freezer
or something like that.
That's crazy.
We're looking at, it's,
like, almost, like, a-an eye.
There's a black section
surrounded by purple
and it's, like, receding in the
closer you guys get close to it.
It is bloody cold in here.
- But it is
- I'm shocked
to have the
temperature difference.
- Yeah, that is strange.
- I've never
I mean, we've been out
here how many times?
I've never felt the
difference like that.
- Yeah.
- No.
That's just kind of spooky.
The rabbi told us that
the presence of entities
or beings or spirits
has been described
as being very cold.
So, it makes me wonder if
we weren't walking through
some type of spirit
or entity, you know,
another dimension
that we could feel
but we couldn't see.
Interesting and odd
at the same time.
It is so hard because you
can't really quantify a feeling.
You can't quantify a feeling.
That's exactly right,
that's the problem.
Hey, are you guys
seeing anything?
It'll be easier if you come
back here and I'll explain it.
Well, let's go head back and
see what they've got to say.
It sounded like they had
something interesting.
Thomas and dragon and I
were completely amazed,
startled and confused
by this strange temperature
vortex or anomaly.
I can't explain
any of this stuff.
While we didn't see
a monster crawl out of it.
Who knows what a portal
is supposed to look like?
We couldn't see it
with our naked eyes,
but we did see it with
the infrared camera.
So, who knows?
When you guys started
walking down there,
you could see, this
whole area warming up.
And there was a purple, like,
it looked like an
eye right there.
It was purple with
a black section
right in the middle of it.
That's the cold, probably.
It almost was like you were
chasing something that way.
Well, I'll tell you
what we need.
We need four or five more nights
as a baseline to
compare this to.
I'd like to do that.
I'd like to go back and
look at the-the data.
There's just so many
things I want to do.
I can't wait to
see this replayed
once Erik gets the data
from the forward-looking
infrared camera
and we can analyze it.
This is only one more chapter
in a never-ending story.
This will continue.
- Yeah.
- You will have other episodes,
more revelations, more insights.
- You are here for a purpose.
- Thank you very much.
- I believe that.
- Well, thank you all for having me.
So, I'm looking at the
thermography footage
from rabbi ariel's prayer,
and I'm seeing some things
that I would like
to get your eyes on.
I'd love to see it.
That was an interesting night.
Yeah. It was very interesting.
Last night, rabbi
ariel's ceremony
definitely left an
impression on all of us.
I can't say for sure that
what he did caused a portal
to open at homestead two,
but the 20-degree
temperature drop
inside the old house
structure was undeniable.
And now that Erik has
analyzed the thermal footage
and all of the data,
I'm eager to find out
what else we may have documented
that wasn't obvious
in the moment.
So, I've got us
queued up to the point
where the rabbi Ariel completed
what he was here to do.
You know, that's pretty
much what it looked like
most of the time.
And then all of a sudden,
this is all rapidly changing.
Whoa. Look at how it got cold
immediately more than
just in that doorway.
Wow. That was,
like, instantaneous.
We are talking on the order
- of ten, 20 seconds.
- Ten or 20 seconds,
the entire thermal area
of the whole place
there changed.
Look how much
colder it's getting.
It's really dropping.
And then, if you focus
on this part right here
Yeah. As we're
walking in right there,
the spot is, like, super cold
in one spot and everything
else around it is hot.
- Like, really hot.
- Look at that.
Well, I remember,
when we walked in there,
it was like getting
hit with a wall of cold.
- Like you walked into a freezer.
- It wasn't a gradual thing.
- Yeah.
- It was just a
And look at the difference.
I mean, it's, like, a
vortex of cold right there
and everything else
around it is just super hot.
Even the ground
underneath it, look Is-is hot.
Ariel said that if he was
gonna open up a portal,
it might not look like
what we think a portal
- is gonna look like.
- I remember that.
And what we see here,
whether it's a teleportation
portal, you know, I don't
I can't say anything to that.
I don't know what to
say about it other than
something caused the
temperature to change dramatically
in a localized spot.
That's crazy.
So, we have a localized effect,
- analogous to the portal.
- Yep.
There is one other feature
that I don't know
what to make of it,
but I want you
to see this thing.
It only happens
once, it's very fast.
Where are we looking
at on the screen?
Well, first I want to
see if you notice it.
- Okay.
- So, I think we're looking
at a total of maybe
seven, eight frames.
- Whoa.
- Whoa.
- Whoa, what was that?
- Right there. That.
Okay, now I'm frame
advancing, so what is that?
What?
It hardly seems possible.
What the heck is that?
We're gonna reproduce
the experiment we did
when rabbi Ariel
tzadok was here.
Look at the screen.
It jumped to 47.
There's something
flickering right here.
Back corner of the house.
Back corner of the house.
- Guys, what's going on?
- It's moving.
- Something may be hacking us.
- Crap, look at that.
We're actively being
electronically attacked.
I'm leaving the ranch. I'm
getting a bad headache.
- Are you serious?
- I'm dead serious.
Of all these phenomena that
happened when you were here,
- what do you think it is?
- It's a portal.
- You got the trackers?
- Got the trackers.
Each cow we put on the
place becomes a bio sensor.
Animals seem to
have that sixth sense.
There was matted grass
where something heavy had sat.
I presume
that it was a spaceship.
Have you ever tried
to open up a portal?
That I haven't done, but we're
gonna give it a shot tonight.
Look, you can see the
mesa glow in that camera.
Thomas has spotted
a light.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Right here.
There is a ranch
in northern Utah.
It is considered the epicenter
of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on earth.
Animal mutilations,
bizarre ufo sightings
and unusual energies that
have proven harmful to humans.
For 20 years, the
federal government
tried to find
answers and failed.
Now a new team of
dedicated scientists,
researchers and
experts has taken over.
They are determined to
solve the mystery and reveal.
The secret of skinwalker ranch.
Is this your guy?
Hey, guys. I want you
to meet Pete Kelsey.
- Hi, Pete. I'm Bryant.
- Hey, Bryant.
Erik invited Pete Kelsey,
who's a lidar expert,
out to the ranch to help us
with a follow-up investigation
on homestead two.
After our meeting last week
with retired army colonel
john Alexander, who believes
that portals might exist there,
we conducted a laser
experiment to try and prove it.
No definitive
evidence was obtained,
but we did experience a
sudden drop in temperature
- inside the old building.
- Hey, Travis.
Did you feel that
temperature drop?
And then we saw a strange
light in the field nearby.
And that indicates that
something was happening.
Wait, wait, stop. Thought
I saw something move.
We've got these sites
on that end of the ranch
that, we would really like
to get a higher resolution
imagery of and maybe
even a 3d model if, you know,
- if that-that works out.
- That's what I do.
Great, get your equipment, let's
load up and let's go down, then.
If the lidar scanning
device that Pete has brought
can create a 3d image
of the homestead area,
and we see anomalies in
the visual data such as bends
or strange shapes
that shouldn't be there
Y'all ready?
We can then pinpoint
those exact spots
for more precise investigations
and hopefully figure out what
the heck is happening there.
What's going on here?
Well, this is, what we
call homestead two.
This area right here
is a hotbed of, activity.
Obviously, we inherited
a narrative around here,
and a lot of the
stories well, and even
some of the experiences
we have had personally
Have been centralized
around the old homesteads.
In addition to possible
portal phenomena,
there are lots of other
stories about homestead two
going back more than a century,
where early ranchers
and native people
believe they saw ufos,
heard disembodied voices,
and even encountered
mysterious, wolf-like creatures.
I've got little bit
of a headache
or something happening.
Last year, I had my
own experience there
when I was hit by a dangerous
spike of ionizing radiation.
Mine's beeping.
And right after wards,
really bizarre burn marks
appeared on my face and hand.
Anything we can
learn about this place,
I realize that this is
just geometric data
that we're getting, but
that's-that's where we start.
- Okay.
- You want, you want to just start here
then and go through these?
Yeah, I think we use
the mobile hand held
'cause we can make
quick work of this.
This piece of gear
I have with me
is a slam-based scanner
called a hover map.
So slam scanning,
the slam stands
for simultaneous
localization and mapping.
Just think of it as a-an
amazing laser scanner that can
create super, super accurate
three-dimensional data.
The lidar works by sending out
infrared laser beams that will
bounce off of any objects
or structures in the local area.
And this will ultimately
bounce back and be detected
and enable us to create a
3d replica of the entire area.
Now, this is going to help us
look for strange phenomena
that might be at homestead two
that we can't see
with our naked eye.
So, I'm just gonna hit "scan."
It's gonna take a second.
You are scanning.
Off you go.
You can walk at normal speed.
And just sort of paint the air.
Just swing your arm in an arc.
Yeah, cause the more that
scanner head is pointed at,
the more data you're gonna get.
Okay, I'm gonna
go inside of this.
I'm gonna poke
my head back here.
I don't mind telling
you this place is creepy.
- Okay, I'm gonna be coming back out.
- Okay. Sure.
And I'm going to
swing to the left.
And catch this space
between these two buildings.
- Just sweep with it and you'll get more.
- Got it.
There you go.
So, I'm gonna finish this
portion of the homestead
and then I'll probably make
a sweep back that way.
Okay.
Effectively, we've made
a complete loop on this
Yeah.
- Homestead.
- It's-it's gonna be good data.
- So you got that covered?
- Yeah. I think so.
All right, guys,
we'll see y'all in a bit.
Yep.
- Well, hello. Hey, guys.
- How are you doing?
Hello there. Hey, jim.
I want to introduce you to
Roland, a very close friend
- and confidant.
- Hi.
- Kandus. Nice to meet you.
- This is kandus. Roland.
- I'm tom.
- A couple weeks ago,
the family of the
late junior hicks,
a man who spent more
than 60 years documenting
the high strangeness
of skinwalker ranch
and the uinta basin,
shared some of his
archived research
to help us with
our investigations.
You know, I don't think
anybody's ever shown
data like that before.
Roland mccook is someone
who is not only referenced
in junior hicks' research
but also claims to have had
a traumatic experience
right at homestead two.
So, while we were waiting for
the lidar data to be processed,
jim Morse was able to get
Roland to come and share his story.
So, you're very
familiar with this area.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it
looks, it looks a lot different.
- Does it?
- I bet.
I was born and raised
here in the basin.
Skinwalker ranch was
approximately about
two to three miles
away from my house.
So, about ten years old, I'd
go up on top of these mesas
and hunt for rabbits.
What I saw, it's always
haunted me for years.
I stayed mainly
up on these ridges,
on the mesas rabbit-hunting,
and that house down there,
at that time, was abandoned,
with the trees around it.
- One of the homesteads?
- Yeah.
- Probably homestead two, yeah.
- Yeah. Yeah. -Yeah.
And so, that's where
things, I think, started for me.
Should we do you
want to drive, tom?
Great, let's go.
This is really important,
to hear these stories,
because it's painting
a picture of what
this ranch is about,
and all the strange
phenomena that happens here.
You know, there's
the science side,
but there's also this
human aspect involved.
So, how does it feel
right now to be back here?
It's a little I'm
a little nervous.
- Yeah.
- Not-not you know, to be honest.
A little nervous. This is I
think this is where it, um
- Began?
- It-it began here, yeah.
The-the
Everything from there.
All everything
Went from there. Yeah.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
How did it start? Tell
us walk us through
Well, when we was up there,
the weather was moving in
and we was looking
for a place to shelter,
um, get out of the weather.
We came in here, and
I didn't really want to go
into All the way
into the building,
um, but the person I
was with, he just said,
"come on in, let's get in
farther in, into the building."
And so, we went farther on in,
and when we got in
there, while we was waiting,
I was looking out
the door and I heard,
like, scurrying.
Something moving, and I turn,
and farther in,
that back corner,
some stuff fell over,
just got knocked over.
I told him, "that sounds
bigger than a raccoon."
I took off, grabbed my gun,
- and out the door I went after it.
- Wow.
We thought it was
raccoons at the beginning,
raccoons or squirrels
or mice running around,
and then things started
getting knocked over,
and that's when we
thought, "well, there's-there's
something else
going on in here,"
and then you get that
cr kind of creepy feeling
that s there's
something more.
We were looking,
looking for tracks.
We noticed there
were human footprints.
No shoes on.
It was like human footprints.
- Wow.
- In the snow?
In the snow, yeah.
And I followed the tracks,
and then all of a sudden
it turned from human
footprints to a big dog tracks.
Like a wolf.
And it came out red eyes,
probably like eight feet tall.
And then it just,
it pointed at me.
Whatever it is
doesn't belong here.
We shot we started
shooting, he had a semi auto
and, "pop, pop, pop, pop."
And all you hear is
The biggest roar.
Just
loudest roar I ever heard.
And after that, it
just, it was gone.
We took off.
I've heard that this
ground here is the gateway
for these shape-shifters,
or these skinwalkers.
Yeah.
The legend of the skinwalker
really initiated back
in the mid-1800s.
This is when the,
Navajo and the Utes
got into more than a skirmish.
The, Utes, they say,
were a-abusing the Navajo
at the time, using them
somewhat as slaves.
And the Navajos ended
up cursing, the Utes.
And the Sherman family,
who lived on the property
in the 1990s, they encountered
these giant wolf-like creatures,
that the native Americans
would refer to as skinwalkers,
that started attacking their
cattle, and were literally
impervious to, you
know, to gunshots.
What happened after that?
We got home. We
would I would.
I would hear things at night.
Things at the window.
I'd lay down and put
the pillow on my head,
and they'd come around,
and you could hear their hands
or claws just, like,
going across the building.
- Growling the whole time.
- Yeah.
And it still, you
know, that, it
The vibration and everything
right to your soul and
- Yeah. Yeah.
- I was just, like,
- "what did we do?"
- yeah.
- Hold on.
- Yeah.
You okay? Hey.
Is something hurt? You okay?
Do you want to move
away from this building?
- Want to get away?
- Yeah.
- I got a little dizzy there.
- Are you blacking out?
- Hold on to me.
- Getting dizzy? - No, no,
- I think I'm okay now.
- Why don't you hang on to me?
- You okay?
- Hang on to me just for
He was obviously very
emotional, and it all came to a head
when he just about
passed out on me.
You could I could see
his eyes roll back in his head
as he turned and looked at
me, and I think he just reached
his breaking point.
- Why don't you hang on?
- You okay?
- Hang on to me just for
- Yeah.
Strangely enough, where
Roland almost fainted was
right in front of the cistern
behind homestead two.
There's been some strange
events that have happened
in that exact spot.
That's where Travis
Taylor got radiation burns.
People visit that
go catatonic and,
just lose their sense
of place and time.
- You still dizzy?
- No.
- I'm good. Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah?
I think you're-you're
still a little shaky, man.
I'm just gonna s-stand
right here with you, okay?
This area here can really
You can get disoriented
really, really fast.
Yeah.
It's almost like it just
creeps up on you.
So, there is something
out here, Roland.
Yeah. Yeah.
What I saw, it I think
it was a skinwalker.
And the feeling that I got,
that fear I had of it, came back.
That's hard to explain.
If you wouldn't
mind, guys, I'd like to
- be here by myself.
- Have a moment.
- And-and, yeah, have a moment.
- Absolutely.
- Just a little bit of closure.
- Absolutely.
We-we'll be here.
Thank you so much.
I knew I needed to come back
here for me to get this closure.
With that sage, I'm praying to
my god, my father,
to help me move past this
and to protect me once I leave,
so nothing will follow me back.
Hopefully this helps it
find its peace and move on.
Time will tell, on-on this.
I'm a firm believer that
there are things that are
unknown to us,
and I think it got
into his psyche.
My prayer is, with Roland,
to hopefully bring
closure to 40 years
of being tormented
by this phenomenon.
So, did you say that uncle
jim got Roland off of the ranch?
- Yes, he did safely escort him.
- Okay.
So, after we heard about
Roland he became disoriented
and nearly passed
out at homestead two
We decided to load up in the utv
and get out there and see
if we could find anything.
We don't know if this gentleman
had a medical issue or what,
but given my experience at
homestead two, we brought Geiger
counters, dosimeters, and
trifield meters out there in
case unusual levels of
radiation could be detected that
would indicate if something out
of the ordinary was happening.
Erik, you got the
Geiger counter rolling?
It's rolling.
- My dosimeter's on.
- Okay.
Roland was beside
me in front of the cistern.
- We were all looking toward the field.
- Yeah.
So he was standing here,
he kind of turned to me,
his eyes rolled
back in his head,
and just kind of landed on me.
Did you guys have a trifield
meter or a spectrum analyzer?
- Or a dosimeter?
- Nope.
If we're gonna come
into places like this,
like homestead two or
homestead three or places,
you know, other than just,
you know, around the house,
I think we need to figure out
which instruments we should
always take with us in case
something like that does happen.
Then we actually get the
data and make sure that
So you're not being
exposed to something.
I wish you guys
could have been here
and just kind of
experienced this guy
because he was,
he's the real deal.
And I f you know, I
felt what he was feeling.
Well, we'll tell you that
I'm seeing an unusually
high magnetic field level
right in this area that I
wasn't finding right there,
and-and this is
backing it up, too.
So, two instruments
here I'm seeing
What are we looking
at on the radiation
spectrum, anything?
It's, it's troubling.
We're getting neutron
counts that I don't think
we should be getting.
Um, so, I want, I want y'all
to go on and move around.
Me and Erik will try and
sweep, see if we can find it.
Okay, we'll just move to the
front of the homestead area.
- Yep.
- You guys good?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Where in the hell are
neutrons coming from?
It wasn't a dangerous
level of neutrons,
but, again, it was a
higher than normal level.
Which is an anomaly.
Now, I don't know if it's
connected to what happened
to mr. Mccook or if
our experiments here
at homestead two could
be stimulating a response
from something that
is still unknown to us.
What I do know is that
homestead two needs to remain
the focus of our investigations
right now on skinwalker ranch.
Make sure that we don't
detect anything that's dangerous
before we let people just
come wander around in here.
Okay.
Thank you for indulging
us and racing us out here.
Of course.
Hey. Hey, Pete. Welcome back.
Did you get all
that data crunched?
- I did.
- Pete Kelsey is back
with us for a return and report,
having crunched all the data
collected during his surveys
out at the homestead two area.
We're all anxious to review
and to see if anything
unusual shows up.
Okay, I want to show
you the slam lidar.
You took the hover
map and went for a walk
around the structures,
the buildings.
That is what this is.
Now, admittedly,
it's pretty dirty.
Well, let's kind
of walk through it
and just see if we see anything.
Now that we have a precise
3d image of the buildings
and all the trees and the
foliage at homestead two,
we can examine the
site from different angles
and look for any unusual
phenomena in the area
that we wouldn't be able
to see with the naked eye.
It really does have a spooky
appearance, doesn't it?
- Appropriately.
- Right.
What-what I like is that
we can see through it
- right now. Yeah.
- It's very ghostly. - Right.
Whoa, what is that?
I mean, that's not
a data point, right?
There should be a lot
more data points right there
with the two rooms.
I mean, you walked in there.
Something odd happened here.
So, here's the
house in the back.
I mean, look how well
this is all covered up here.
Let me zoom back out.
So, there's the top of it.
What happened to
all this data right here?
Where is it?
- Can't explain it.
- It's like there's data missing.
The slam scan
lidar data is showing
the foliage and the
outlines of the buildings,
but where we should be seeing
the inside of the main house,
it's just a black hole.
And the data that you do
have came from the door,
- not from being inside.
- Holy cow. Look at that.
And that means when you
walked inside the building,
it didn't take any data.
Guys, I dwelt for minutes
inside of these rooms.
There should be tons of data
here that we're not seeing.
That is spooky right there.
The only data you got
was from the outside in.
What is it about this
spot inside the building?
So, Pete, have in
your time of doing this,
have you seen other
models that are similar to this
where you are
lacking data in a place
that you definitely
walked through?
The short answer is no,
because I was with Erik.
He was in that room and
the hover map was working.
That's just strange to me.
Since the slam scanner
appears to have gotten good data
everywhere at homestead
two except inside the old house,
I don't know how to
scientifically explain that.
All I can think about is how
colonel john Alexander told us
he believes there could
be a portal at that location.
Man, this is crazy.
I-I mean, something odd
is happening right there.
Well, the data keeps
adding up that we can't
get data at that spot.
Or something doesn't want
us to get the data there, right?
Well, I got to tell you that,
it gives us some
things to think about,
some-some points that
we need to go look at.
Guys, this really meets
and exceeds my expectations.
I'm thrilled to have these data.
- Thank you.
- Thanks, Pete.
There he is. How
you doing, Ariel?
- How you doing, brother?
- Great to see you.
- Nice to see you again.
- Great to see you.
I've worked with this team to
do everything we can think of
to apply hard science
in our investigations
of the strange phenomena that
keep happening at homestead two.
We've tried
ground-penetrating radar,
laser scanning, lidar scanning,
drilling and even excavating,
and gotten no
definitive answers.
All I know is that
when we poke this nest,
weird things seem to happen.
So I've decided to
invite a special guest
to see if his methods can help.
- Ariel, I'm Erik bard.
- Erik.
Rabbi Ariel tzadok is not
only a scholar and teacher
of Judaism, but also an expert
in how that belief system might
explain the portal phenomenon
that we've been investigating.
I don't generally conduct
mystical experiments or rituals,
but at this point, I don't
know what we have to lose.
I was just telling the guys
that you were explaining to me
how the Jewish faith
looks a little differently
at some of these
strange phenomenon
than the christian faith.
So I don't get it wrong, why
don't you just explain that?
All right, let's go back to
a little bit of bible study.
The bible makes mention
of other indigenous
races upon our earth.
I'm not a scientist,
I'm a clergyman.
And I came to look at
what is expressed here.
Not from a point of
a scientific anomaly,
but from a spiritual
point of view.
Recognize that the bible
does speak of these entities.
They exist in what in religion
we'll call a spiritual plane.
I guess maybe in
modern terminology,
you might consider that a
fourth dimension of space.
You're the scientist.
You'll discover that.
What seems to be happening
here is that there very well might be
an indigenous earth spirit.
Who has called this place home
for as long as it
has been alive.
And the one thing that
they find the most offensive
is when human beings
encroach upon their domain.
There are times on this property
where you do get the sense
of malevolence a little bit.
This reality which we think
is the only reality Isn't.
You could actually have
portals opening and closing
on this property with a living,
non-human, intelligent entity.
Right.
Coming and then disappearing.
- Yeah.
- Coming and going.
- Profound.
- Now, Ariel
has told me that the
Hebrew rabbis know of a thing
called tonal technologies.
It's an acoustic technology
that is believed to be able
to open up the heavens,
or a pathway or a doorway.
A portal, if you will.
My method, I believe
seeing is believing.
So, what I believe to do
is to teach others to
see for themselves.
- So, that's what it's all about.
- So, let's talk about
how we're gonna do that now.
We are going to
create a sacred place
and do the traditional prayers
for opening of the gates.
We will specifically
invite whatever is here,
if it's willing, to communicate,
to show some sign,
because these entities
are out there.
I already sense it.
The holy! Right there.
What is that?
- What is that?
- We got, we got something.
Hold on. Right there.
- Yeah, I see it.
- Yeah.
It's where it was last time.
It just went away. Dang it.
Right under the sun,
and it was right in that,
portion of the sky.
While Ariel is talking to us
about how he hopes that he can
reach whatever the
phenomena is here on the ranch,
suddenly we notice to
the west there is something
glowing in the sky.
It's been popping up
in that same spot
that it always pops up.
Did you see it?
- You saw it, right?
- I saw it.
There it is again. It's back.
There it is again, right there.
It's gone again.
And it's in the same place
- every time.
- Same exact spot.
- Yes.
- This object - that we're seeing,
it shows up, it
glints really brightly,
and then disappears
as if into a speck.
It was pretty crazy.
- Now it's gone.
- So, guys?
- Yeah.
- The transponder data receiver
is running, cameras are running.
I think we need to get
out to the homesteads
and start our-our process.
Let's go. Let's-let's load up.
Let's get let's get there.
Let's go talk to it.
- You got it? - Got it?
- Yep.
Thomas winterton always says,
"when new people
come on the ranch,
the ranch responds to it."
- I've got this
- I've got everything I need.
- I'm ready.
- I don't know
what to think, but it's weird
that just as rabbi tzadok
has come to skinwalker ranch
for the express purpose
of trying to reveal
portal phenomena, we
clearly see something
glowing and then
disappear in the sky.
I don't know what
that was, but I saw it.
You know, Travis
has talked about
wanting to poke
the hornet's nest
and see what comes flying out.
Well, we're about to.
We'll see what happens.
I'll tell you right
now, I'm really excited
- for this ceremony.
- Absolutely.
Well, here we are.
This is homestead two.
This is a good place.
This is a rock let's
see if we can work with.
At this time, we're going
to create a sacred space,
and if there is
an entity out here,
which feels that
we are intruding,
this will be a place as
an offering of peace.
As if saying, "no, we
are not here to encroach,
we are not here for harm."
Because these entities,
they understand energy.
And if they feel the place
and power of holiness,
it will be like coming to a
campfire on a cold night,
that they can come for warmth.
Let's see if we can find
- some rocks, if we can
- You bet.
- To put around here.
- How big and how many?
Just enough to cover.
- Okay.
- So, like, two to three feet away
- from the center stone?
- That would be fine.
- Okay.
- That would be fine.
As an astrophysicist, I
approach every experiment
using the scientific method.
But as a scientist, you have to
be open to examining a problem
from all points of view
to find a potential solution.
Maybe a more exotic approach is
what we need for this experiment
to actually yield results.
Kaleb, that's good.
All right, then.
All right, well, we've
got all of th our gear,
so I think it's time we start
setting up for nighttime.
- Yep.
- Let's grab our stuff, guys.
Let's see what happens.
I guess those just go by
the table, the pelican cases.
- Yep.
- And, dragon, we'll work on that computer,
- we got to set it up to the audio system.
- Okay.
Rabbi tzadok told us
that according to
religious doctrine,
this particular tonal ceremony
could only be effective
if performed after dark.
This will be interesting.
Yeah. It's been
interesting so far.
So, in addition to our spectrum
analyzers and trifield meters,
which will detect any
anomalous energy spikes
if something happens,
we're also going to set up
infrared cameras
with night vision
to document anything
out of the ordinary
that might not be
visible to the naked eye
and a thermal scanner to monitor
strange drops in temperature.
I think the mic stands
should go about right there.
And finally, we're going
to make a recording
during and after
the rabbi's ceremony
to capture any strange
audio frequencies
or unnatural sounds that
may occur out here tonight.
- Looks like we should be good.
- Okay.
Erik, you about got
that camera situated?
- Yeah.
- We good?
Erik, you've got the
forward-looking infrared camera,
set up and ready and recording.
We've got the
night vision googles.
Are they, set up on the
camera? Are they going?
Yeah, the nvg
is rolling as well.
They're both trained
on the homestead area
- and the trees above.
- All right.
We've got, the microphone
connected to speakers,
and we're gonna
be blasting that, but
we are also recording it.
And any other sounds
that the microphone picks up
will be recorded in
that, we can look at later.
And back in my trailer,
we've got the spectrum
analyzer running,
measuring all of the microwaves
for the antennas
pointing this way.
And that's all being
recorded as well?
- That's all being recorded, yeah.
- Okay.
So, if something
happens, I mean,
hopefully we'll catch
at least parts of it.
Many of the stories
that have been told
about this place
is that there have
been opening of portals.
Through the centuries,
many of the sages, prophets,
shamans and the like,
have recognized that there
are certain types of sounds,
harmonics we
call them chants
That can somehow
influence the movement
or interactions
with these portals.
What I'm gonna be doing now
is the traditional
evening prayers
that are recited at this
time in our torah tradition.
So, on that note, if
everybody's okay
- Yes, sir.
- I'm going to begin.
Thank you.
I do sense a
presence in this land,
and I sense that this is
a very old presence here.
I asked for its
permission to be here.
I asked if I could give
a blessing to the land
because this is the
land which god has made
and it's the role of
a rabbi, of course,
to be a conduit of
the blessings of god.
So, Ariel starts his ceremony,
and while he's doing the chant,
I happen to notice that
there is some kind of anomaly
in front of the doorway
of homestead two.
Erik, come here a minute.
You seeing something?
Look at the difference
in the flir imagery now.
It's completely changed.
I have not seen
this do this before.
It shouldn't have changed
that drastically all of a sudden.
The flir imagery
completely changed.
It's like the canopy of
the trees was super hot.
And then everything
underneath it where the house is
I mean, look it, it's
just completely cold.
Yeah, it's like in
temperature layers, now.
It shouldn't have changed
that drastically all of the sudden.
One of the most unexpected
and interesting artifacts that
we see during this exercise
is that immediately
after the ceremony
had drawn to a close,
the temperature around
the homestead itself
began to drop.
It began to plummet.
That's usually
indicative of a presence.
Remember, these entities
are always described
as being very cold.
So, what that means is suddenly
the treetops are super warm,
and everything
underneath it got super cool.
Guys, look now. Look right here.
You see how the heat
is coming down this tree.
Yeah.
And it's heating up around
this area and it's creating
this cold vortex in
the middle, suddenly.
That's that is odd.
And now it's heating up. Look.
Now it's heating
up, in the middle of it.
Suddenly, the temperature
over the homestead
area turns extremely hot,
and then it starts to fall
and it wraps around
the homestead.
I'm not sure what is going
on with homestead two,
what it is about the place,
but since I have been here,
we've measured crazy radio
and microwaves down there.
I had radiation
exposure symptoms
from a signal that
appeared to be gamma rays.
It was really strange.
I'm going down there.
You better take
something with you.
Yes, I want the
spectrum analyzer.
Erik, why don't you try
to guide us right in here?
- Please keep an eye on the monitor.
- Okay.
- And if something changes, let us know.
- All right.
There's some kind
of anomaly going on
down here at homestead two
where alleged portals had been seen.
And now we're seeing an
anomaly through our flir camera
after a rabbi does a
ceremony to open portals?
There is nothing gonna keep
me from going down there
to see what's going on.
Thomas and-and dragon and I,
we need to take instruments
down there right now.
I am going to record, start
recording on this camera.
- Hey, come here.
- Feel the difference?
Wow.
- It's freezing right here.
- It is freezing cold.
- Absolutely cold right here.
- My goodness.
Okay, you are right in
the center of that region.
It is freezing cold right here
in front of the homestead.
As soon as we walked in
front of homestead number two,
it was probably
20 degrees colder.
I mean, it was instantaneous,
like walking into
a walk-in freezer
or something like that.
That's crazy.
We're looking at, it's,
like, almost, like, a-an eye.
There's a black section
surrounded by purple
and it's, like, receding in the
closer you guys get close to it.
It is bloody cold in here.
- But it is
- I'm shocked
to have the
temperature difference.
- Yeah, that is strange.
- I've never
I mean, we've been out
here how many times?
I've never felt the
difference like that.
- Yeah.
- No.
That's just kind of spooky.
The rabbi told us that
the presence of entities
or beings or spirits
has been described
as being very cold.
So, it makes me wonder if
we weren't walking through
some type of spirit
or entity, you know,
another dimension
that we could feel
but we couldn't see.
Interesting and odd
at the same time.
It is so hard because you
can't really quantify a feeling.
You can't quantify a feeling.
That's exactly right,
that's the problem.
Hey, are you guys
seeing anything?
It'll be easier if you come
back here and I'll explain it.
Well, let's go head back and
see what they've got to say.
It sounded like they had
something interesting.
Thomas and dragon and I
were completely amazed,
startled and confused
by this strange temperature
vortex or anomaly.
I can't explain
any of this stuff.
While we didn't see
a monster crawl out of it.
Who knows what a portal
is supposed to look like?
We couldn't see it
with our naked eyes,
but we did see it with
the infrared camera.
So, who knows?
When you guys started
walking down there,
you could see, this
whole area warming up.
And there was a purple, like,
it looked like an
eye right there.
It was purple with
a black section
right in the middle of it.
That's the cold, probably.
It almost was like you were
chasing something that way.
Well, I'll tell you
what we need.
We need four or five more nights
as a baseline to
compare this to.
I'd like to do that.
I'd like to go back and
look at the-the data.
There's just so many
things I want to do.
I can't wait to
see this replayed
once Erik gets the data
from the forward-looking
infrared camera
and we can analyze it.
This is only one more chapter
in a never-ending story.
This will continue.
- Yeah.
- You will have other episodes,
more revelations, more insights.
- You are here for a purpose.
- Thank you very much.
- I believe that.
- Well, thank you all for having me.
So, I'm looking at the
thermography footage
from rabbi ariel's prayer,
and I'm seeing some things
that I would like
to get your eyes on.
I'd love to see it.
That was an interesting night.
Yeah. It was very interesting.
Last night, rabbi
ariel's ceremony
definitely left an
impression on all of us.
I can't say for sure that
what he did caused a portal
to open at homestead two,
but the 20-degree
temperature drop
inside the old house
structure was undeniable.
And now that Erik has
analyzed the thermal footage
and all of the data,
I'm eager to find out
what else we may have documented
that wasn't obvious
in the moment.
So, I've got us
queued up to the point
where the rabbi Ariel completed
what he was here to do.
You know, that's pretty
much what it looked like
most of the time.
And then all of a sudden,
this is all rapidly changing.
Whoa. Look at how it got cold
immediately more than
just in that doorway.
Wow. That was,
like, instantaneous.
We are talking on the order
- of ten, 20 seconds.
- Ten or 20 seconds,
the entire thermal area
of the whole place
there changed.
Look how much
colder it's getting.
It's really dropping.
And then, if you focus
on this part right here
Yeah. As we're
walking in right there,
the spot is, like, super cold
in one spot and everything
else around it is hot.
- Like, really hot.
- Look at that.
Well, I remember,
when we walked in there,
it was like getting
hit with a wall of cold.
- Like you walked into a freezer.
- It wasn't a gradual thing.
- Yeah.
- It was just a
And look at the difference.
I mean, it's, like, a
vortex of cold right there
and everything else
around it is just super hot.
Even the ground
underneath it, look Is-is hot.
Ariel said that if he was
gonna open up a portal,
it might not look like
what we think a portal
- is gonna look like.
- I remember that.
And what we see here,
whether it's a teleportation
portal, you know, I don't
I can't say anything to that.
I don't know what to
say about it other than
something caused the
temperature to change dramatically
in a localized spot.
That's crazy.
So, we have a localized effect,
- analogous to the portal.
- Yep.
There is one other feature
that I don't know
what to make of it,
but I want you
to see this thing.
It only happens
once, it's very fast.
Where are we looking
at on the screen?
Well, first I want to
see if you notice it.
- Okay.
- So, I think we're looking
at a total of maybe
seven, eight frames.
- Whoa.
- Whoa.
- Whoa, what was that?
- Right there. That.
Okay, now I'm frame
advancing, so what is that?
What?
It hardly seems possible.
What the heck is that?
We're gonna reproduce
the experiment we did
when rabbi Ariel
tzadok was here.
Look at the screen.
It jumped to 47.
There's something
flickering right here.
Back corner of the house.
Back corner of the house.
- Guys, what's going on?
- It's moving.
- Something may be hacking us.
- Crap, look at that.
We're actively being
electronically attacked.
I'm leaving the ranch. I'm
getting a bad headache.
- Are you serious?
- I'm dead serious.
