do people actually think skin walkers are real?? like i don’t understand how a human can turn into an animal or something lol

Yes we actually think of skin walkers are real.

The animal attracts the human to come closer to them, that's why it transformed into human to lure it

Explanation:

If you go to the woods and try to whistle, something in the woods will make a noise and then some footsteps are going to keep going closer to you if you are trying to lead that creature to you.

( I don't know if I believe it, but in my thoughts I do.)
