It's a reality show in the same vein as those ghost hunter shows with a little forensic, detective work thrown in. I'm not saying that everything they do or say is a lie, they have some respectable people on the show who are not dumbies. All that said, it is on the History channel, so a lot of people lump it in with the Ancient Aliens series. Last season, I kind of wrote off the series because it was feeling too much like Ancient Aliens but it's really not like that at all. Skinwalker Ranch has all the ghost and goblin stories from years past, but they are doing scientific research on all the phenomenon gong on there. My hope is that they are not lying about what they are doing or manipulating the data just for ratings. They are running into some really weird things on that ranch, along with other things at the Mt Wilson ranch.
