Shinwalker

In some Native American legends, a skin-walker is a person with the supernatural ability to turn into any animal he or she desires, though they first must be wearing a pelt of the animal, to be able to transform. Similar lore can be found in cultures throughout the world and is often referred to as shapeshifting by anthropologists. A skinwalker is usually described as naked, except for an animal skin. Some Navajos describe them as a mutated version of the animal in question. The skin may just be a mask, like those which are the only garment worn in the witches' song. Because animal skins are used primarily by skinwalkers, the pelt of animals such as bears, coyotes, wolves, and cougars are strictly tabooed. Sheepskin and buckskin are probably two of the few hides used by Navajos; the latter is used only for ceremonial purposes.
Often, Navajos will tell of their encounter with a skinwalker, though there is a lot of hesitancy to reveal the story to non-Navajos, or (understandably) to talk of such frightening things at night. Sometimes the skinwalker will try to break into the house and attack the people inside, and will often bang on the walls of the house, knock on the windows, and climb onto the roofs. Sometimes, a strange, animal-like figure is seen standing outside the window, peering in. Other times, a skinwalker may attack a vehicle and cause a car accident. The skinwalkers are described as being fast, agile, and impossible to catch. Though some attempts have been made to shoot or kill one, they are not usually successful.

This creature was bought upon a story from back in the 1800's in Mexico. There was a daughter who was helping out her sick mother back in Mexico. One night the daughter wanted to go out to a dance with her friends, but her mother would not let her go. She ignored what her mother had told her and she left anyway with her friends. When she got to the dance, she saw this very handsome man standing on the other side of the room. He had approached her and asked her to dance, and she said yes. When she was dancing with this mysterious man, she happened to look down and noticed that the man had a chicken foot and a pig foot. She freaked out and screamed. When everyone turned around to see what was going on, they could not see anything and there was a distinctive smell and she was gone. No one could not figure out what had happened. Her friends went in searching for the girl but could not find her. They had no other choice but to go and tell her mother. As soon as they walk in the door, they see that the mother had passed away.

It is said that since the daughter did not listen to her mother there came punishment from this creature. Anyone who disobeys rules that are set, the creature will transform to a person or whatever else that will grab your attention and lure you in. As soon as you notice its feet, you will disappear and there will be a strong smell of sulfur. There are people that try and bring this creature to them by doing rituals. They will dress all black with necklaces made of chicken feet and pig feet. Every year his followers will do a sacrifice on June 6 at 6 am. They will take a prisoner or anyone who did bad in the world and sacrifice them early in the morning to try and lure "El Transformador". Many of these followers are in Latino descent since there are a lot of unsolved disappearances in the country. You never know when "El Transformador" might go and hunt its next victim.
