Amazon Prime, and History channel, natch.
Brain rot if you believe much any of it, fairly entertaining to see these guys get fakey inventive. But really the worst part of all like shows, is the repetitiveness. That is absolutely terrible. It's just useless filler.

Just googled it. Kinda sounds like Curse of Oak Island but different material/setting lol
I think that one was from Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch. I watch that one for entertainment value and other certain elements, like how they deal with claim jumpers.

I'm going to have to check it out. And while I'm here I'm going to recommend Mermaids the Body Found. We need more healthy debate on the aquatic ape theory!
That accurately describes about every hardware or software engineer I've ever worked with.
Although I'm highly skeptical the show is interesting to me on an equipment level mainly.
Seeing the products they use for the "tests" they devise.
One 3rd party group of people (drones if I recall) happened to show up with what looked like a half a dozen of our recorder products. We make very high end gear- they did not fail as so many electronics are claimed to.
This groups credibility is suspect, but the fact that Robert Bigelows team was there prior is intriguing.
The lasers being blocked - why not be set up to come from different angles? Heck fly a chopper up there............no..........we can get 4, maybe 5 more shows............
1.6Mhz at house 2? No. Don't send anyone over there.

Science means what ever the tv watchers think it means.The say the word "science" I don't think they know what they think it means.
I think the place is interesting, including things going back to the native Americans. But the TV series seems to just be a drama show that is hard to take seriously, and reduces credibility of the history of the ranch events.
Maybe so . They tend to run together with all of the BS .

Skeptical author Robert Sheaffer believes the phenomenon at Skinwalker to be "almost certainly illusory", given that NIDsci found no proof after several years of monitoring, and that the previous owners of the property, who had lived there for 60 years, say that no supernatural events of any kind had happened there. Sheaffer considers the "parsimonious explanation" to be that the Sherman family invented the story "prior to selling it to the gullible Bigelow", with many of the more extraordinary claims originating solely from Terry Sherman, who worked as a caretaker after the ranch was sold to Bigelow.[12]
In 1996, skeptic James Randi awarded Bigelow a tongue-in-cheek Pigasus Award for funding the purchase of the ranch and for supporting John E. Mack's and Budd Hopkins' investigations. The award category designated Bigelow as "the funding organization that supported the most useless study of a supernatural, paranormal or occult [claim]".[13]
In 2023, ufologist Barry Greenwood, writing in the Journal of Scientific Exploration, criticized the $22 million research program led by James Lacatski. He emphasized the lack of any documentary evidence from the ranch after many decades of exploration and characterized Skinwalker as "always in the business of selling belief and hope".[14]

Well maybe. sometimes the best way to hide stuff is in plain sight.
