Have you ever stood on the precipice of the unknown, questioning whether you should step forward into the chilling embrace of the supernatural or take a step back, keeping your feet firmly planted in the realm of the understood and the mundane? Join us as we journey into the icy heart of the Wendigo, a terrifying entity from Algonquin folklore, whose story is not just a chilling tale but a haunting exploration of the human psyche. Our discussion spans from its chilling portrayals in popular culture, such as Stephen King's Pet Cemetery and the thrilling series Hannibal, to the symbolism it holds in North American storytelling.

This is no ordinary discussion; I share my own spine-chilling encounter with the Wendigo in the Rockies, an experience that forever changed my understanding of the supernatural. This singular encounter, a brush with the raw, wild face of horror, sparked a passion for exploring the unknown that I've carried with me ever since. We tease apart the human capacity for transformation, the line between man and beast, and the terrifying potential for the monstrous within us all.

In our final act, we examine the Wendigo’s physical characteristics, preferred hunting ground, and how its legend has evolved over time. We hear stories of men overtaken by an insatiable hunger, drawing comparisons to legends of werewolves and pondering the nature of human transformation. Throughout, we challenge you to ask yourself: How would I react when faced with the unknown? Are we more beast than we'd care to admit? Join us, share in our exploration of the Wendigo legend, and dare to uncover the mysteries of the universe.
