1:05:49Now PlayingSome stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery — we investigate. Is Skinwalker Ranch legitimate science being buried under entertainment, or has it become just another paranormal brand?
This week, Meagan sits down with Kody Richardson, host of the "Mystery Archives," to dig into the ranch's tangled 30-year history: from Navajo folklore and the Sherman family's terrifying first encounters to Robert Bigelow's NIDS investigation, the Pentagon's alleged interest and current owner Brandon Fugal's ongoing public feud with Avi Loeb, Michael Shermer and Mick West over data he refuses to release. Kody breaks down where the "skinwalker" name actually comes from, UFO sightings, cattle mutilations and vanishing livestock cases that built the ranch's reputation. He also shares his own terrifying night investigating the notorious Sally House, including a friend who left gushing blood.
