Steeped in Native American mythology, the Wendigo is a cryptid that transcends the natural world, known for its eerie supernatural abilities. Discover why this evil spirit instills more fear than Bigfoot or the Jersey Devil, as they discuss its ominous presence in folklore and real-life encounters.

Explore the chilling tales of the Wendigo's wintertime appearances, its terrifying ability to lure unsuspecting victims, and the ominous symbols and sounds associated with it. Unearth the connection between isolation, nature, and this enigmatic entity, and why such stories endure within Native American traditions. Tune in as they ponder the reasons behind the lack of Wendigo representations in media and its potential for an extraordinary horror narrative.
