What is a skinwalker alert?

A skinwalker alert is a warning or notice issued by members of certain Native American tribes, particularly in the Navajo culture, about the presence of a skinwalker in a specific area. Skinwalkers are believed to be malevolent shape-shifting witches who possess the ability to transform into animals in order to cause harm or chaos.

Such alerts are taken very seriously within tribal communities, as encounters with skinwalkers are believed to bring bad luck, illness, or even death. It is advised to avoid the area where the skinwalker is said to be present and to take precautions to protect oneself from any potential harm.

In recent years, skinwalker alerts have gained attention on social media and in popular culture, leading to speculation and interest in the folklore and beliefs surrounding these mysterious and fearsome beings.
