Our theme for July is “Things That Go Bump in the Night” – a month-long dive into the creatures made famous by horror movies and legends. Today’s episode, we’re looking at a creature whose hunger can never be sated: the Wendigo. Nearly every culture has a monster born of fear. For some, it’s a ghost.For others, a vampire. A shapeshifter. A demon. But in the deep forests of the North—where winters are long and food can be scarce—there’s a different kind of fear. A different kind of monster. It’s tall. Thin. Eyes sunken. Skin stretched tight over brittle bones. Or maybe it has no skin at all—just ice, claws, and teeth. It hungers. It hunts.And the more it eats… the hungrier it becomes. It’s called the Wendigo. But what is it? A myth? A cautionary tale? A spirit? Or something more human than we’d like to admit? Let’s step into the woods… and see what we find.
