”Satan Butte has a long and storied reputation among Navajos. One legend says that there is a giant serpent that lives inside the butte and comes out from a hole at the top. This made the butte a restricted area for Navajos in the past – a time long before the Long Walk. If your cattle strayed onto the butte, you didn’t go retrieve them. Either they returned on their own, or you considered them lost. Navajos refused to venture into the mesa. This serpent is likely the reason the mesa is called Satan Butte, harkening, of course, to the serpent in the Garden of Eden in the Bible’s Book of Genesis.” – Stanley Milford Jr, The Paranormal Ranger.
Located at 35°31’56″North and 109°55’26″West, Satan Butte is located on the Colorado Plateau in the Navajo Nation, in the state of Arizona of the US. It rises to 6322feet (1927mt.) above sea level.
According to Merriam-Webster, a butte is “an isolated hill or mountain with steep or precipitous sides usually having a smaller summit area than a mesa.” The closest town is Greasewood, about a mile away. It was here that one case took Stanley Milford Jr who is Navajo and at the time, a Ranger tasked to investigate the paranormal with his partner Jon Dover.
“..in Navajo culture, extraterrestrials aren’t thought of only in the context of science fiction; they are writting into our creation myths. Many Native American tribes have legends about Star People, beings who come to visit Earth from time to time. The term Star People, is a generic, anglicized English term that essentially refers to astral beings or extraterrestrials that originate from other worlds, planets, or dimensions. Some of these references may originate from a tribe’s traditional creation or emergence stories. They are represented in the pictographs and petroglyphs scattered throughout the Navajo Nation, carved into red rock sandstone by Pueblo and Anasazi peoples.”
Hoss Lors reported seeing an UFO craft flying over, around, and into Satan Butte on several occasions. Some sightings were also captured by a digital camera. He also had encounters with skinwalkers, or shapeshifters.
“When you arrive in the area of Satan Butte on Navajo Route 15, the landscape is wide open. You can literally see from horizon to horizon, approximately fifteen miles in any direction, and there is very little in the way of trees or foliage to obstruct your view. From the highway there is a rough mile and a half off-road drive that is best attempted in a four-wheel-drive SUV or truck. If you want to go onto the butte, you must hike up a narrow canyon on foot.”
“…my sixth sense went off like an alarm, letting me know that something wasn’t right. Jon, the investigators, and I hiked several hundred feet to the top of the butte and spent the better part of a day up there. It was vast, open terrain, and very eerie. Standing on the top of the butte is like standing on the moon. There are few, if any, bushes, trees, or other foilage and there are zero structures on the top and no man-made structures visible in any direction. So, one has the sense of being all alone on Earth, which is a strange, creepy, and downright unnerving feeling. Yet at the same time, I had a very strong sensation that I was being watched. When I am in the presence of ghosts, spirits, foreign entities, or something demonic, I experience a sharp pain above my temple. This pain was very strong here, so I knew danger was close.”
“..on a third visit, I heard voices as I began the climb up the mesa, as well as whistling. Navajos do not whistle, especially at night, as whistling is associated with witchcraft and skinwalkers. Witches use a bone whistle in their cursing. Therefore, the sounds I heard sent goose bumps trailing across the skin. I saw things moving in my peripheral vision, but when I turned my head, there was nothing there.”
There are many places of vortex around the world. In Arizona is the famous Sedona. Nearby are Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock, Airport Mesa, Red Rock Crossing and Boynton Canyon. Stanley Milford Jr, after listing these places, goes on to share about the Bradshaw Ranch, which has similar activities to those at Skinwalker Ranch in Utah.
