Skinwalkers and Shape Shifters

Skinwalkers and shape-shifters are primarily found in folklore and mythology, particularly in Native American cultures. In Navajo tradition, a skinwalker (or "yee naaldlooshii") is a witch or sorcerer who has the ability to transform into or disguise themselves as an animal. These beliefs often stem from complex spiritual and cultural narratives about good and evil. Shape-shifters are also common in various cultures worldwide, appearing in legends and stories about beings that can change their physical form. These include werewolves, dragons, and other mythical creatures. While stories and beliefs about skinwalkers and shape-shifters are rich and significant in cultural contexts, there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of creatures with these abilities. They remain part of folklore, mythology, and spiritual beliefs rather than empirical reality.
