Had the Shermans been lying about what they saw? Or under the spell of a collective delusion? Without evidence, the stories they told are difficult to believe, but they’re hardly unique. The ranch was resold to Adamantium Real Estate in 2016. But they were unable to capture any meaningful physical evidence supporting the Shermans’ incredible stories. That surveillance yielded a book called Hunt for the Skinwalker: Science Confronts the Unexplained at a Remote Ranch in Utah, in which several of the researchers claimed to have seen paranormal activities.
