On this episode we learn about the origins of the Wendigo, from Native American and Canadian folklore, and also look at the beliefs surrounding it and real life aspects of the legend, including Wendigo Psychosis and Wendigo Hunters.

There are lots of Wendigo tales out there, so more than one story this week - The First Dog, Windigo, and The Wendigo Child.

Thanks to Rick Dove, James Mildenstein, Malcolm Shoyer and Rebecca Chapman for providing voices on this episode.
