"From dozens of Bigfoot sightings in the San Juan River Valley to a deeply disturbing UFO visitation near Satan's Butte to a poltergeist-like haunting of an office in Window Rock, the cases I investigated led me to one inevitable conclusion: There is so much more to this world and our vast universe than we can imagine, and we have only begun to scratch the surface." - From the Introduction In THE PARANORMAL RANGER: A Navajo Investigator's Search for the Unexplained (William Morrow; on sale 10/1/24), Stanley Milford Jr. delivers a gripping memoir of his investigations into perplexing cases of the paranormal and unexplained over the course of his illustrious career serving the Navajo Nation.Raised with a deep-rooted connection to the supernatural due to his diverse heritage grounded in Navajo and Cherokee traditions, Milford's upbringing uniquely positioned him to navigate the eerie realms he would encounter when he joined the fabled Navajo Rangers. Equal parts police officers, archeological conservationists, and historians, the rangers are responsible for overseeing the massive 27,000-square-mile Navajo Nation, where mundane tasks blend seamlessly with extraordinary occurrences. When Milford first became a ranger, he handled everyday cases such as cattle inspections and domestic disputes, but that quickly gave way to more bizarre cases of mysterious livestock mutilations, spine-chilling encounters with skinwalkers and cryptids, UFOs, and malicious hauntings.
