Quoted By:
So I was heading onto the Navajo Nation near Tolani Lake to visit some relatives. I had a cousin who goes to school in west virginia and she brought back a friend to see what It is like in the Southwest and on the rez. Not enough room in the house so we set up camp outside. lots of tents and stuff.
>Getting dark
>My cousins grandmother wants us to take out this huge stump
>spend an hour tugging and hacking away at it until it comes out
>other cousin brings a sack full of alcoholic beverages
>decide to burn the stump at night and gather all around it in a camp chair
>get pretty drunk and we are all telling ghost stories around the area and of course talking about skinwalkers
>Navajo tradition says that you shouldn't whistle at night as It attracts ghosts
>of course drunk belligerent me starts whistling
>Gets pretty late, I decide to stay up and watch the burning stump offer up its last remaining carbon.
> Decide Ive watched this stump die for long enough and stumble to my tent
>About to get to bed when I hear my cousin whisper to me "anon, can you come and sleep in our tent with us"
>confused, I get up and ask why, and they just say that they want me to sleep in their tent.
>So I go to their tent and figured they got spooked by the ghost stories
>position myself right in front of the door and pass out right away
Thats what I remember from that night. But It turns out that when everyone was going to bed that they experienced something. They heard the dog getting agitated and started barking at something that was moving around in the outskirts of the property. There is lose gravel of sorts lined all around the house and my cousin and friend heard something walking quietly up to camp. They could hear it crushing and upturning the rocks even though it was trying to be quiet.
Ill continue on part 2 where they saw its shadow on the tent.
Pic of Tolani Lake. Does not show the houses, but there is a community of a couple hundred people that live here.
