Would like to see a blind test done a medium blind folded and not knowing where they are at one that does not know of site and see what they may bring to the table some one with out prescribed thoughts on the place to influence the reality kinda like the rabbi that i think he thought it was more like a shedim then a jinn but i lean more to a jinn the black wolf rotting flesh fear a trickster a shape shifter just some of the attributes with the jinn .
I had not considered the Djinn or Shedim. However, if we strip away the religious beliefs and the cartoon genie attire surrounding them, we are left with records of some sort of "other" beings living within the earth realm unseen going back to pre-biblical records.
Rosemary Ellen Guilley wrote a book on it.
Some info on it.

In pre-Islamic lore, the Djinn are malicious, are born of smokeless fire, and are not immortal. They live with other supernatural beings in the Kaf, a mythical range of emerald mountains that encircles the earth. They like to roam the deserts and wilderness. They are usually invisible but have the power to shapeshift to any form, be it insect, other animal, or human.
King Solomon used a magic ring to control Djinn and protect him from them. The ring was set with a gem, probably a diamond, that had a living force of its own. With the ring, Solomon branded the necks of the Djinn as his slaves.

Although the Djinn as described may not be what is at Skinwalker per say, the idea here is there are records all over the world of beings who do live here, are older than humans, are shapeshifters, and have abilities to interact with us unseen.
