Description

Join us in today's episode as we discuss the wendigo, which is a mythical creature or malevolent spirit that possesses humans, originating from the folklore of the Plains and Great Lake Natives. In some representations, the wendigo is described as a giant humanoid or deer-like creature, that feeds on humans. The wendigo is said to invoke feelings of insatiable greed and gluttony, the desire to become a cannibal, and the urge to commit murder. Is this evil, malevolent creature real or not? As always, you decide for yourself!
