It will soon be proven to be truth, when the first skinwalker specimen is discovered.

Hey - did you know that Masquerade (Andrew Lloyd Webber's immersive Phantom production) teased its launch with an ARG earlier this year?
And that it ended by sneaking people (one at a time) into the Majestic Theatre to hold a summoning ritual to bring the Phantom back?
