Skinwalker Ranch: Scooby-Doo With a Pentagon Budget

Skinwalker Ranch promises UFOs, ghosts and interdimensional portals, with a TV franchise that needs the mystery to keep going. Scott and Tristan follow the Sherman family's reports through Robert Bigelow's Pentagon-funded research and Brandon Fugal's History Channel show, looking at ordinary explanations for the scares and the money behind the investigations. Then we get into how Diné traditions and Ute land dispossession become a generic 'Native American curse', while our editor refuses to secretly haunt the audience.
