Confidential Report: Possible Skin Walker Sighting
Location: Remote Village near Dense Rainforest, Philippines
Date: [REDACTED]
Summary:
A report was received regarding strange nocturnal phenomena in a remote village adjacent to a dense rainforest in the Philippines. The villagers described sightings of a shape-shifting entity resembling a skin walker. An investigator was deployed to assess and document these claims through direct interviews and environmental observations.
Investigation Details:
Upon arrival at the village—a collection of small huts fringed by thick greenery—the investigator initiated interviews with a range of local residents. The atmosphere was tense; the villagers were visibly uneasy, whispering warnings against wandering after dark.
Interview Excerpts:
Interview 1: Elder Man (name withheld)
Investigator: "Can you describe what you have seen or heard?"
Elder: "At night, the forest speaks in strange voices... not like the animals I know. It’s as if someone walks, but not as a man."
Investigator: "What do you mean by 'not as a man'?"
Elder: "The figure changes. Sometimes it has the face of a dog, sometimes a man’s shadow, but with eyes that burn like fire."
Interview 2: Young Woman (name withheld)
Investigator: "Have you seen this creature yourself?"
Woman: "I was going home after the market... I saw a figure crossing the path. It moved too fast, and when it looked at me, its face was... wrong. Like it had no skin, or like it wore someone else’s face."
Investigator: "Did you recognize the figure?"
Woman: "No. It was not any person I know."
Communication Difficulty - Interview 3: Mysterious Individual at Village Outskirts
The investigator approached a solitary man dwelling in a hut near the forest edge. His speech was broken and punctuated with unfamiliar dialectal words and guttural sounds. Attempts to communicate were met with frustration.Investigator: "Can you tell me about the noises in the forest?"
Man (fragmented): "Night... walk... danger... skin... not man. Watch... eyes..."
Investigator: "Are you afraid?"
Man: (suddenly silent, then mutters) "You should not talk... disappear..."The individual abruptly left, slipping into the dense growth. Follow-up attempts to locate him were unsuccessful. Several villagers confirmed the man had been living alone but had disappeared overnight with no signs or explanation.
Field Observations:
- Nighttime auditory recordings captured unexplained sounds: low growls, rustling, and irregular footsteps inconsistent with known fauna.
- Vegetation near the village edge showed signs of disturbance; branches broken at unnatural angles, footprints partially obscured by leaf litter—size and shape indeterminate.
- The atmosphere within the village heightened after sunset; villagers avoided outdoor activity and barred doors and windows.
Conclusions and Remarks:
- The mysterious disappearance of the incomprehensible speaker, combined with the villagers’ collective descriptions, strongly suggest the presence of an entity fitting the skin walker mythology.
- No physical artifact or definitive proof was acquired. The environment’s density and the subject’s elusiveness complicate validation.
- The villagers’ fear and reticence indicate a long-standing unease or knowledge of the entity’s threat.
- Further surveillance and deeper linguistic support may be necessary to clarify communication barriers and to uncover more clues.
Post-Investigation Request:
Following the initial investigation, the assigned investigator formally petitioned for deployment of a Mobile Task Force (MTF) to conduct a thorough, long-term investigation of the area, citing unresolved questions and the potential threat posed by the entity.
