A Navajo Rangerâs chilling and clear-eyed memoir of his investigations into bizarre cases of the paranormal and unexplained in Navajoland
As a Native American with parents of both Navajo and Cherokee descent, Stanley Milford Jr. grew up in a world where the supernatural was both expected and taboo, where shapeshifters roamed, witchcraft was a thing to be feared, and children were taught not to whistle at night.Â
In his youth, Milford never went looking for the paranormal, but it always seemed to find him. When he joined the fabled Navajo Rangersâa law enforcement branch of the Navajo Nation who are equal parts police officers, archeological conservationists, and historiansâthe paranormal became part of his job. Alongside addressing the mundane duties of overseeing the massive 27,000-square-mile reservation, Milford was assigned to utterly bizarre and shockingly frequent cases involving mysterious livestock mutilations, skinwalker and Bigfoot sightings, UFOs, and malicious hauntings.
In The Paranormal Ranger, Milford recounts the stories of these cases from the clinical and deductive perspective of a law enforcement officer. Milfordâs Native American worldview and investigative training collide to provide an eerie account of what logic dictates should not be possible.
