In the Navajo culture, a skinwalker is a type of harmful witch who has the ability to turn into, possess, or disguise themselves as an animal. As such, witchcraft has long been part of their culture, history, and traditions. Witches exist alongside humans and are not supernaturals. The Navajo believe there are places where the powers of both good and evil are present, and those powers can be harnessed for either. Medicine men utilize these powers to heal and aid members of their communities. At the same time, those who practice Navajo witchcraft seek to direct the spiritual forces to cause harm or misfortune to others.

A driver was traveling late at night through the desolate roads of the Navajo reservation. Suddenly, a strange figure darted across the road causing the driver to hit the brakes. The driver, shocked, tried to shake off the strange sight and continued driving. But the creature followed, easily keeping pace with the car, even as the driver increased speed. Then, the figure lunged at the car, and the driver swears he saw human eyes staring back at him from the coyote-like face. Terrified, the driver sped up even more until the creature was no longer in sight.
