There is a ranch located in Fort Duchesne, Utah referred to as the Skinwalker Ranch. Local native american indians coined the term, as they believe the ranch to be "in the path of the skinwalker".
Once owned by Terry and Gwen Sherman, it now belongs to Robert T. Bigelow founder of The National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) a privately financed research organization based in Las Vegas.
NIDS' dedication is to research and advancement of serious study into various protoscience and paranormal topics with it's main focus on ufology.
Why, one might ask, would an organization dedicated to paranormal research buy a ranch located in northern Utah? The answer would be found in the accounts of the Sherman family.
