Skinwalkers and Halloween

There is an article out of White Mountain about Navajo skinwalkers, "Skinwalkers and other evil creatures".  They talk about a scary story about a Yeenaldloshii, a horse running around on two legs.
Or the Valley man, Russ Dunham 23, of Mesa, who was up here on a summer retreat when he was a child. His group were guests of the Navajo Nation and were horrified when during a dark night around a fire in a remote area, when a horse chased one of them. Not unheard of, but the horse was running upright on its two back legs — like a human.Amazing speed is one of the characteristics of a skinwalker.
Yikes!  What the hell is that!  I know that it's Halloween, but I believe these things really do exist.  We need some education about them.  The Dayish Production recently interviewed some people at the Western Navajo Fair.  They asked the question, "Are you a skinwalker?".  One interviewee pointed out a "Brian Yazzie" as a skinwalker.  It's kind of funny, but on the serious side, this is nothing to joke about.
