True Scary Stories - Wendigo/Windigo Part 1 of 2

The Wendigo | Part One of Two

In the bleak, bitter winters of the East Coast of Canada and the Great Plains and Lakes of America, something waits in the forest. Is that a cry from a tortured animal you hear?  This is no animal you recognise, as you strain your ears against the unforgiving, ice cold wind that whips through the trees. The cry becomes a shriek and it's getting louder, a cacophony of noise as your blood begins to curdle in your veins. Your heart skips a beat and then doubles in pace as you realise you are not alone in the forest, something is watching, stalking. With an insatiable hunger for human flesh, the Wendigo, Windigo Windigo, Witigo, Witiko, and Wee-Tee-Go (roughly translating as evil spirt of mankind) has been spoken of by the indigenous people for centuries.
