About this episode

Rye interviews Lee from the Navajo Nation about real-life encounters with skinwalkers and the cultural significance of these experiences.

In this episode, Rye the Codega sits down with Lee from the Navajo Nation to explore real-life encounters with skinwalkers—one of the most feared and misunderstood entities in Native American lore. Lee shares his firsthand experiences growing up around these stories, where sightings and strange encounters weren’t treated as myths, but as serious and deeply respected realities. The conversation dives into eerie moments that blur the line between folklore and lived experience, including what it feels like to be watched, followed, or confronted by something that doesn’t move—or exist—the way it should. As a hand trembler, a role similar to a medicine man or intuitive medium, Lee also touches on his connection to energy, sensing, and the unseen forces that many believe tie directly into these encounters. This episode offers a rare and grounded perspective on skinwalkers, Navajo beliefs, and the darker edges of spiritual practices that are often left unspoken.
