Wendigo: ohhhhhh turn off thr lights, get a drink. Get under your covers today we’re in for some urban legends and folklore, u probably won’t be sleeping tonight.

Be warned ⚠️, these stories I’m about to tell will not be for the faint of heart or children, leave if u must or stay at ur own risk.

Also let’s clear up the confusion, no the wendigo is not a creature with an animal skull head with horns. Idk where that misconception came from.

The Wendigo is a thin, fragile, and pale-looking person on all 4rs with sharp teeth.

Today we’re taking a look at this iconic Ojibwe, Saulteaux, and Cree folklore. So what’s the folklore revolving around The Wendigo?

So essentially, the wendigo is a malevolent, cannibalistic spirit or monster associated with winter, greed, and starvation, often depicted as a giant, emaciated figure with an insatiable hunger for human flesh.

So essentially moral of the story is if ur lost in the woods during the winter, don’t demote yourself to Cannibalism.

Also, a wendigo can perfectly mimic someone’s voice, to lore a person to them, in a way very much similar to a Skin-Walker.

The Cree believe that things such as totem polls, dream catchers, and stuff like that will ward off the wendigo.

Also bullets and stabbing the wendigo doesn’t kill it, what usually does is setting it on fire, unfortunately though that doesn’t kill the spirit of the wendigo.

The spirit escapes to go find another victim to inhabit once said victim does the heinous act of cannibalism.

In my opinion, I’d say the best portrayal we’ve gotten of the Wendigo has got to be from

That episode of Supernatural in season 1

And from the popular horror game Until Dawn, which I’m planning on playing soon. But gonna go see the film adaptation next week, a review of that shall be out in the coming weeks.

So just remember the next time y’all are alone and stranded in the woods in the winter, don’t become a cannibal, or suffer the consequences of becoming a wendigo.

Also be careful the next time ur in the woods alone during the winter, who knows u might encounter a Wendigo and not live to tell the tales.

Will u take the risk?
That’s if u believe in any of this, urban legends are just fun to speculate about and tell around campfires.

Ahhhhhhh!
