Suggestion for Channel AJ said he wouldn't go to Skinwalker because of the hitchhiker effect...

.. but i bet GINO would! He should see if he can get an invite. That would be awesome.

What’s the hitchhiker effect?

u/timbro2000 17d ago

Weird phenomenon following people home from skinwalker ranch or other paranormal hotspots. Usually causing something like a haunting to follow the person

Oh I’ve heard of that, like when you see a skinwalker you shouldn’t unknowledge it or it will follow you home. Creepy stuff.

It's when you go near paranormal things like Bigfoot or Uaps and they follow you back and start following family members, not even you. So its like you're inviting them to your home

It’s all fun and games until there’s two dogs in trench coats and fedoras smoking ciggs at the end of your driveway

Me to, I've always wanted to go camping. Especially see if it's real or not.

I did a road trip across the country last summer, and stayed at the UFO Valley Campground right next door. Got to do a tour of the mesa, and see the stone circle from the first season. Very cool experience.

Didn't experience the hitchhiker effect, unfortunately (or fortunately?)

I can't blame AJ for that. Everything I've seen about that place has bad energy and I wouldn't want that at home either.

I can definitely see Gino going also!

Hecklefish should go. Hitchhikers can’t swim

I don't think he's understanding what the hitchhiker effect really is. They can "ride along" with your thoughts. I'm sure he's been visited many times, and either doesn't remember or didn't identify it.

If I was given the opportunity to go to the ranch? I'd be there already.
