In this week's episode, Liz and Dakota talk about some real spooky stuff: the Windigo.  A monster from Algonquian history, the Windigo was too scary for Liz to research on her own.  Take a listen to find out what made the cannibalistic monster so terrifying, and decide for yourself if they really exist.
