In a bizarre turn of events that has left the quiet neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia, buzzing with speculation, a local resident recently took matters into his own hands when faced with a supernatural intruder. Reports indicate that the unidentified homeowner engaged in a heated battle with what is being described as a mysterious creature, believed to be a skinwalker or, according to cryptozoologist Dr. Isabella Coleman, a fleshgait.
Eyewitnesses claim that the explosive encounter unfolded when the homeowner fired a flare gun multiple times within the confines of his own residence. While initial reports only hinted at the peculiar use of a flare gun, the Reality Register can now exclusively reveal the spine-tingling details behind the incident.
According to sources close to the situation, the homeowner believed he was facing off against a skinwalker, a creature from Native American folklore known for its ability to shapeshift into various animal forms. However, Dr. Isabella Coleman, a renowned cryptozoologist, has a different take on the matter.
“In my expert opinion, we’re not dealing with a run-of-the-mill skinwalker here. This is a case of a fleshgait, a cryptid animated by the spirit realm that predates even the Native tribes of the Appalachians,” Dr. Coleman explained in an exclusive statement to the Reality Register.
She went on to elaborate on the distinctions between the two supernatural entities. Both skinwalkers and fleshgaits are described as spindly, pale creatures that employ deceptive tactics, such as mimicking the voices of loved ones to lure victims into the woods. However, according to Dr. Coleman, fleshgaits have a unique origin and are native to this continent for even longer than the Native tribes.
“Fleshgaits are akin to wendigos but lack any known connection to cannibalism. They are enigmatic beings with ties to the spirit realm, and their motives are not always clear to us mere mortals,” Dr. Coleman added.

The use of a flare gun in this peculiar battle raises questions about the potential effects on the supernatural intruder. While the police have remained tight-lipped on the matter, Dr. Coleman offered a speculative insight into the situation.
“These creatures frequently have strange humors in their bodies, and it’s possible that the homeowner’s direct hit with the flare gun may have triggered an explosive reaction. We’re dealing with forces beyond our comprehension here,” she mused.
As the investigation unfolds, the Arlington Police Department has refused to officially comment on the incident, leaving residents on edge. The Reality Register pledges to keep a vigilant eye on the supernatural occurrences in this otherwise unsuspecting suburb, but as development continues to encroach on the ancestral habitats of these, and other creatures, expect to see more incidents like this coming to a neighborhood near you.
