The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch

There's a tunnel system going straight down for miles.

It's right by the triangle.

Yeah, I brought a ground-penetrating radar.

That's going crazy.

We should start excavating.

We ready to do this?

Let's dig. Look at this, guys.

I don't know what's going on, but it's detecting everywhere.

It's like we're triggering something. Yeah.

I'm at altitude.

We spent the better part of the day

Running these magnetometry and lidar surveys.

Here is the magnetic data of the homestead two.

Whoa. Here's the triangle.

Look at that.

I feel like we have to dig

To get to the bottom of skinwalker ranch.

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.

Good morning, guys. Good morning.

To help us find out what's really going on

Behind all these phenomena happening on skinwalker ranch,

Brandon has given us permission to dig and drill deeper

Than anyone's ever tried before.

Now, in order to do that, though, erik's brought out

A team from pete martin drilling.

We got a game plan for today?

We're out here at what we call "the triangle."

And so, we're gonna poke two holes

Right at the vertices of that triangle.

As far as we know, there's no structure

Underneath here, but we're not sure.

But part of why we're here doing this

Is to explore that very question.

Okay.

They're going to help us explore

The area we call the triangle.

Here's the triangle. It was here

That last week we detected two large highly magnetic anomalies

With a long, tunnel-like feature

Running between them deep underground.

It's also where a researcher named james keenan

Shared with us evidence of where he believes could be

Some kind of underground water course

Or possibly even an artificial tunnel system.

When you look at this,

You're cutting right directly through my focal

And origin point, which is this location of skinwalker ranch.

So, what we're planning to do with these holes is,

You know, besides just seeing what we find

And what we run into when we go down,

We're looking to instrument these.

We're going to set up some instruments

And we'll be taking some measurements

While you're drilling.

We see any elevated radiation measurements

Or strange, radio frequency signals

Or something, we'll let you know.

Please also let us know if anything unusual happens

With that big piece of equipment over there.

Okay.

Sounds good, guys. All right.

Sounds like a plan. I'm excited. Thank you.

Thanks. Thank you.

Look, the history is what it is.

Our attention is naturally drawn to this spot, but then again,

We've never tried drilling at the triangle.

We may provoke some response from the ranch.

Who knows what will happen.

Erik, what exactly do we got?

We've got magnetometers, we've got gps,

We'll be looking at the geiger counter data logging.

On the laptop is where we're looking

At our spectrum analyzer.

It allows us to see any unusual radio frequency signals

That show up while we're conducting our experiment.

Okay. So, while you're doing your-your work,

All of this stuff will be running.

All right, well if you guys are ready, we're ready.

-Yeah. -Yep, I think we are. Go ahead and fire it up.

Let's go, guys.

You know, we're...

Really pressing our luck

If the whole "digging on the ranch" thing

Has got any merit to it because, you know,

Tom's digging with the excavator

And we got the big, giant drill going.

We're-we're not poking the hornet's nest, we're kicking it.

Yeah, you-you can't... We're kicking it.

We're kicking it down, stomping on it.

While erik and dragon were working at the triangle,

I went with kandus linde, kaleb bench and thomas winterton

To investigate another area of interest

That's right between the triangle and homestead two.

Well, I have some interesting news to share.

Last week, brandon told us that this spot was

A particular place of interest for the shermans,

Who used to own skinwalker ranch.

There is an actual location of the area on the ranch

Where the shermans said not to dig.

I'd like the share with you the coordinates.

When we plugged the coordinates in,

They pointed right to a big rock sitting

All by itself across the road from the mesa.

Look at that. So, what's the first thing we thought?

Let's go out there and dig,

And maybe it'll lead to some answers.

This good? Yeah, that's...

Where is the rock?

It's right... Yeah. I see it now.

Yeah, actually, let me go through right here. Over here?

Just watch, this ditch is a little deep right there.

Is there water in it? No.

Was there anything in particular

We're looking for here, or...?

Well, the-the intel that brandon got

Was that, one of the shermans said

This was the spot not to dig at.

It's an odd coincidence that we took

The gps coordinates that they gave us

And it was right in the middle of that rock.

The rock could be a marker.

Did somebody bury something there?

Is there something there that's dangerous?

We don't know,

But we've got to dig there to see

Why would somebody say, "don't dig in this spot"?

It's stable right there, thomas. Steady.

I... there's something right there on the rock.

What are you seeing? Wh... right there?

Yep. I'm gonna get a bottle of water,

I'll be right back. I'm-a go to the jeep and get one.

Not talking about where I scratched it.

No. Not the white, but...

It's right here. All right, here,

Let me get in there, kandus. Yep.

That's actually something on it.

It kind of looks...There's definitely something

Right there, and you got three clearly defined marks.

I don't want to read too much into anything,

But it's definitely curious to me that we found

A possible carving on the underside of this boulder

Where the sherman family supposedly said

No one should ever dig.

It could be that they made the marking,

But we just don't know.

It's nowhere else, and it, to me, it looks like

A bunch of the old thunderbird symbols that you see

In a lot of native american tribes and stuff.

One of my pastimes is I love reading mythology and history,

And to me that symbol almost looked

Like some kind of a thunderbird that you see in the navajo

And other native artwork.

The thunderbird is a mythical creature

Of huge importance in navajo

And other native american cultures.

It's a symbol of great power, strength

And protection of humans against evil spirits.

Now, what's interesting here is that the legend

Of the dangerous, shape-shifting entity

Known as the skinwalker

Is not only what this property has been named after,

But it also arose out of the navajo culture.

So, if this really is a carving of the thunderbird,

Then I wonder who would have carved it?

And is it connected to the sherman's warning

Not to dig here?

I'll take a picture of it.

It certainly doesn't say, "enter here." No.

Well, let's look under the rock.

I like that.

Well, I'm getting over here, out of the way.

Who knows what could be here if this really is a marker.

It's right between homestead two and the triangle,

So even though I'm a little skeptical about it,

What if it's covering some kind of strange object

That's connected to all these strange phenomena

Here on the ranch?

Heck, what if it's even covering

An entrance to what we might be drilling down into

Over at the triangle?

We need to poke that sucker as much as possible.

We're digging below a boulder

Right where the sherman family reportedly said to never dig.

There's a long-standing legend that warns

Against any digging on skinwalker ranch.

So, I'm really eager to see if we'll find something

Buried here, or...

If some strange phenomena might be triggered by the digging.

Hey, do you see anything down there?
