Being American Indian, my family has a lot of stories about supernatural stuff. One of these is the obvious skin walker, which is said to appear if you even dare to discuss it. So I went online and read some experiences people had with that kind of thing and came across a pretty scary story. Some guy and his friends had a three day weekend so they drove out to an old mission in California and had seen some creepy stuff skulking around the place. Clothes, skeletal bits, paintings on the wall. When they left they began to joke that they should drive faster before they got shot with an arrow or anything and one of them began to explain the concept of skin walkers and among all the bullshitting, the driver hit a coyote but said it looked too big to be one. They got out to find nothing anywhere near the car or under it so they got in and kept driving and as they drove away, they saw behind the a coyote looking figure only about the size of or bigger than a man walking over the ridge on it’s hind legs.

This is more my Dad’s story than mine.
He used to tell me a story about his grandfather living (renting) a house in northern NH and the door to the cellar would open at various times on it’s own. Come spring, his grandfather went into the cellar to create a cold room for veggies to be stored in over the winter. He noticed one of the cellar walls had collapsed (stone) and went to repair it. After removing a few stones, he found a woman’s shoe which was attached to a leg bone, which continued to become a whole skeleton.
He said it must have been a ghost that was opening the door and it was left at that. As I got older, I figured he was just trying to scare me.
After he passed away, 6 years ago, I found amongst his things a newspaper article recording this event of finding the skeleton. (It was during the turn of the century from the 1800’s to the 1900’s.)
It seems his grandfather went to seek help “they wended their way through the woods” and after removing the skeleton, the daughter was able to identify her mother from the clothes she was wearing. The daughter had assumed she had taken off west with a man.
