Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hello, my paranormal peeps, and welcome back to another Deep
Wits pod paranormal podcast where we're making the paranormal normal.
So on this podcast, we're gonna talk about folklore. We're
gonna continue to talk about folklore. We're gonna talk about
seven on this podcast, and on the next one we'll
talk about eight. So we're gonna talk about the wind
to Go, We're gonna talk about the Rugarou, We're gonna
(00:29):
talk about the melon heads, the Jersey Devil, the huga Wigi.
So bear with me, some of these names are really
hard to pronounce. They're probably Indian names that I haven't
heard of before. So then the night Marchers, the night Marchers,
(00:49):
the Banshee, and then that's it. We're gonna talk about
those seven and then we'll get into eight more on
the next podcast. Okay, guys, So let's start real quick
with wind to Go. And this is the spirit of
the Frozen North. So where do windogoes come from? Well,
pretty much, I've heard there almost anywhere at this point,
(01:10):
but they're commonly found in northern Minnesota, Ontario and the
Great Lakes for a forest. So I've talked about wind
Togo many times there's there a creepy as hell type
of monster that basically it's like it's almost like a
zombie that essentially has been just released into the forest. Supposedly,
(01:37):
if you get bitten or scratched by Windigo, you become
a wind to go yourself, and then you are destined
to wander forever and continue to want to consume human
flesh and stuff like that. And then unfortunately, your appetite
is never really full. You're never really full, You're always hungry,
(02:01):
so you're always consuming and looking for more people to eat. Essentially,
so it says long before European settlers arrive Iguana, Iguanian
tribes warned of giant creatures that once was human but
consumed by hunger and turned into a monster. During the
(02:23):
brutal winters, famine sometimes drove people into cannibalism, and legends
said that the act summoned to Windigo. When thisess is
stated back in the nineteen i sorry the sixteen hundreds
and continued through fur trapped journals. One of the most
famous cases with the swift Runners in eighteen seventy eight,
(02:47):
a cree hunter who murdered and ate his family during
a harsh winter. He claimed to have been possessed by
the wind Togo spirit. So the husband the Hudson Bay
Company later missionaries who were uh recorded recorded the lore.
So basically they you know, these people resorted to cambalism
(03:10):
because they could not find food. And imagine being out
in the forest in the freezing cold. You know, probably
in the teen temperatures are colder, there's no animals running around,
and so you basically resort to, you know, doing something
terrible to you, to other people around you, and consuming them,
(03:33):
and then essentially you become the wind to Go, which
is pretty much a demon. You're consumed by a demon essentially.
It's what it seems like. The wind Togo stories have
been around for a long long time, and I've heard
many people talk about them. There's a lot of videos
on them out there. Uh, definitely not a creature I
would want to run into out in the wild. I
(03:56):
do keep my eyes open for weird stuff. I mean,
I'm always looking for a big foot in any anything
out there in the forest. But thank god I've never
come across the window go because I would probably shoot
first and ask questions later. All right, So let's get
into the Rugaroo this is Louisiana's Cajun werewolf. Where does
(04:19):
this thing reside, it says, the Bayous and swamps of
southern Louisiana. And then what happened? Cajun families told their
children not to break the lint or the rugaro would
get them. Described as a wolf, wolf man with red
eyes and a taste for blood, it seemed, it said
(04:39):
to Rome. The marshes around New Orleans and Huma. Local
edges tell of a trapper in the eighteen hundreds who
shot what he thought was a large wolf. When he
returned with help, only a bleeding man lay there in
the reeds, who then vanished. Early sellers whose luke guru
(05:04):
were wolf tails mixed with a Cajun Catholicism. Bay hunters
and later paranormal groups investigating swamps at night found lights
and mutilated livestock, So sounds more like a dog man.
The Rugaru people also have said it's a bigfoot, but
(05:26):
I think it's more of a I think it sounds
more like a dog man. Could it be a person
turning into were wolves? Uh? I don't know for that
kind of transformation to happen inside a body. I mean, look,
how many years. It's taking our bodies to transform to
what they are now. And for something to be able
to transform like you see in a movie, you know,
(05:49):
grow long our fingers and grow a snout and grow
all this fur and get bigger ears and turn it
into a were wolf, that would probably take you know,
if if the human evolution went that way, they'd probably
take thousands of years, if not, if no longer for
a human to actually turn into like a weir wolflike creature,
(06:11):
unless some of us never really came from you know,
never went down to the actual human evolution. Maybe we
turned more to wolf like instead of ape like. You
never know. Anyways, It's a lot of theories, but the
rigaroo is definitely a scary kind of beast. I do
believe it's more like a dog man. And I don't
know if maybe it was in this case it was
(06:33):
a Missidi vacation. Maybe this guy was wearing some kind
of outfit. Back then in the day, they basically wore
furs and stuff to stay warm. So maybe he was
misidentified and shot and then they realized later on that
maybe he wasn't who they thought he was anyways, all right,
(06:56):
so let's move on to the melon heads. This I've
never actually heard of. If you've heard of the melon heads,
you know, let us know down below. Make a comment
about this. Do you investigate them? I don't know the
back road horror of Ohio and Michigan. So these guys
are fine found in Kirkland and Charton, Ohio, Holland and Michigan. So,
(07:21):
like I said, this is very interesting. I'm meant to
look this up and find out more about them. But
it says the stories claim that in the early nineteen hundreds,
a group of children suffering from I don't know what
that is, damon hypo decelearius, were examined on by doctor
(07:43):
cow Pro sorry, a reclusive physician. When the asylum burned down,
the surviving kids fled into the woods. Over time, they
became fairal and vengeful. Now the melon heads. Okay, Drivers
on Windsner roads Toill report seeing small figures darting from
(08:06):
the trees and trapped tapping on car windows. Okay, so
doctor Crowe possibly based on the real local doctor. Rural
residents who spread the stories of modern urban legend hunters. Okay,
doesn't tell me much. Unfortunately, article doesn't tell me much
(08:27):
about them, but it sounds like it was just a
bunch of kids that basically broke loose from a you know,
some kind of hospital. Sounds like, unfortunately they are being
having horrible things done to them, and when they left
the orphanage or whatever it was that the hospital, they
(08:51):
started attacking cars and stuff like that and basically becoming
a little bit more like a wild person, which makes sense.
There are said, distill these stories of people talking about
wild people out there or they look like humans and
they're people are saying they're not bigfoots and stuff like that.
I think, while men are probably still out there as well,
(09:13):
I don't think that you know, the people call it
say they try and say that these are these are
what people are calling bigfoots, but they're not. I think
they're more just wild people that never kind of came
into civilization. And it sounds like in this case that's
kind of what happened. These kids got away and lived,
learned to live in the forest, and essentially are now
(09:37):
if they're still alive. They're probably not still alive, but
they're probably still living in the forest if they are,
and they're they're just wild people at this point, all right,
So let's get to the Jersey Devil curse of Mother Leads. Okay,
so I'm sure everybody's heard the story of the Jersey Devil.
(09:58):
There's many renditions of it where the mom basically had
a demon son. I don't want to get too much
into it because we do have audiences of all ages
on here. Anyways, when the kid came out, he wasn't human,
and essentially he came out with like the legs of
a goat and the upper body of a human, but
(10:19):
he had wings and the face of something scary. Let's
just put it that way, use your imagination. And essentially
the baby supposedly flew off and flew off into the woods,
and that became the curse of the Jersey Devil. So
let's just read the story here. It says what happened
in seventeen thirty five, Mother Leeds supposedly caused a cursed
(10:44):
her thirteen child, saying let it be let this one
be the devil. The baby was born normal, but sprouted
wings and hoofs and then flew up in the chimney
and disappeared into the pines. Throughout the eighteen hundreds and
nineteen hundreds, the residents reported screeching, livestock attacks, and hoof
prints on rooftops. In nineteen oh nine, a newspaper acrossing
(11:08):
the States printed dozens of simultaneous sightings, including one by
a police officer who shot at the creature. Okay, so,
like I said, there's lots of stories of the Jersey Devil.
Is it some kind of monster, Maybe it's some kind
of dinosaur, could be anything. Nobody's actually really got a
(11:32):
really good look at it, and want to understand. I'm
still thinking maybe some kind of dinosaur that people are
mistaking for something else. Other people have said it's a
bigfoot with wings, which I don't know if that's true
or not. Could it just be you know that this
kid was born so deformed that they essentially just named
(11:55):
it the Jersey Devil. You really got to use your
imagination and kind of come up with your own hypothesis. Unfortunately,
we don't live too close to there, but a man
and I did camp in these woods one time, and
we didn't hear anything. Unfortunately, didn't experience anything, but we
weren't really looking for anything either. Sorry, dog under my feet, everybody. Okay,
(12:21):
So anyways, Yeah, you know in this one, you really
have to kind of make up your own mind as
to what you think it is or what it could be.
We really got to use your imagination. As I've been
told many times, if I really knew what was in
the forest, I wouldn't go into the forest. So who's
to say there isn't some kind of creature rumming out
(12:41):
there that isn't human or bigfoot or something else. Maybe
it's maybe it is some kind of a winged creature
that hunts people or whatever. So all right, Number five,
the pooh Weey trixture of the forest and maybe mispronouncing that.
(13:03):
So if I'm mispronouncing it, please don't butcher me down
below in the comments. Okay, says where New England and
this but especially Massachusetts Freetown State Forest. All right, so
you guys, I've never heard of this one either, the puckoogie.
If you guys know about this one, I'd love to
hear your stories. Are you guys investigating this? Have you
(13:25):
ever heard of this? You know? I think i've I've
actually think I've talked about this one before. So the
Wampuluga people, I guess that's where I got its name from.
Told Pete told of a small great creature with human
features who could vanish, shape shift, or shoot poisoned darts.
(13:48):
Once friendly to humans, they turned malevolent after being disrespected
by the culture hero mashup. Modern Highers near a Bridgewater
Triangle describes seeing glowing orbs, feeling pushed near cliffs, or
being lured by off trails by laughter. So the Wigba
(14:14):
tribe early a Puritan settlers who demonized native spirits in
the twentieth century and paranormal investigators basically kind of gave
this thing its name and basically abelted the legend grow.
So I think I've read about this. I think we
talked about this on another podcast where kids were driving
(14:35):
down the road and along the brick road they saw
sorry on for work, they saw some kind of a
grayish like almost like a look almost like a alien,
like a gray alien basically climbing up this wall, and
(15:00):
and essentially that it basically disappeared, but it did have
glowing red eyes and it scared the heck out of them. So, anyways,
have you guys experienced this, you know, feel free to
calm it down below. I'd love to hear your stories.
Are you actively and investigating this. We'd love to know
more about this thing, all right. So this one I've
(15:23):
actually heard a lot about. There's been shows about this,
and I have I've been met a couple of people
that actually came from Hawaii. This is a night marchers,
the Hawaiian ghostly warriors, and it says the Hawaiian islands
O WAHUO Maui, and the Big Island is worth these
are found. And local lore says that on certain moonless nights,
(15:46):
ancient Hawaiian warriors rise from their graves and march into
ghostly possession too sacred sites. Drums, echo, torches, flair and
congo shells blow through the valleys. Anyone who looks directly
at the Wakupoo the night march is doomed to die.
(16:07):
Witnesses of reporting glowing torches moving in formation across the
valleys like new Nemu. I can't pronounce that pie and
Kelly point. Some locals say you can survive if you
like flat and show respect. So this has basically been
handed down by Hawaiian elders. And then there's been modern
(16:29):
accounts of soldiers stationed in Wahoo and hikers have also
seen the march. So I've actually heard about this one
of the people I work with a long time ago,
back in like twenty eleven twenty twelve, came from Waine
and she said that ghost is gone Japan. Ghosts are
very respected in Hawaii. They protect things in Hawaii. She
(16:56):
was telling me about how I needed to make sure
I was respectful if I felt like I was around
a ghost, to be very respectful towards them, because they
can hurt you, but they could also bring you know,
good fortune, and they could be very helpful. And then
I've also heard about these too, where they basically hike
(17:16):
down through the valleys and into you know, areas of
the forest and stuff, and it's it's pretty cool. I
would imagine it'd be really amazing to actually see one
of these days, watch go to Hawaii. Excuse to get
away to Hawaii right and go investigate this. It'd be
a lot of fun to go see this, actually experience
(17:38):
this month to month of my own eyes, and maybe
try and get it on camera. All right, So number
seven the Banshie. This is Ireland's whaling omen of death.
So it says they're found in Ireland and parts of Scotland.
Excuse me for a second, Okay for centuries, families claim
(17:58):
to hear a woman with outside their home just before
a loved one died. This neaning woman, or bean seed
as was believed to attach itself herself to an old
Irish ken's like the old O'Neills and O'Brien's. Oh sorry
(18:21):
clans Old Irish clans like the Oneans and the O'Brien's.
Descriptions vary, sometimes a pale beautiful with white with silver hair,
sometimes a ragged cone washing blood stained clothes in a river.
In the eighteen eighties, I'm sorry, eighteen hundreds, Ireland reports
(18:45):
were so common that even newspapers printed banshee warnings. That's interesting.
So basically this they're seeing a pale, beautiful woman with
silver hair, and it's sometimes a ragged cone, and she's
washing bloodstain cone clothes in a river. That's interesting. So essentially,
(19:08):
if you see her, you're someone in your family's gonna
probably die, or if you hear her wailing outside your home,
a loved one could possibly be about to die. That's creepy. Yeah,
that would be a little freaky. If all of a
sudden you're asleep and all of a sudden you hear
a woman crying and you look out and you see that,
(19:29):
and then you turn around and somebody in your family
passes away. I've heard of the banshee, but I've heard
about it actually over here, not in Ireland. But yeah,
this is interesting. Anyways, guys, we're gonna wrap this up.
It might be a little shorter than normal, but I
just want to thank you guys for listening and watching.
