S2 Ep 20- The Wendigo Within: When Humans Become Monsters

The Wendigo isn’t just a monster, it’s a warning. Rooted in Indigenous folklore, this terrifying entity represents something far deeper than cannibalism or horror. It’s the embodiment of isolation, unchecked greed, and the loss of humanity.In this episode, we explore how the Wendigo is “created”—not born—through desperation, excess, and moral decay. From ancient legend to modern metaphor, we break down why this creature still resonates today,  and what it says about us.The Wendigo isn’t out there in the woods—it’s something we could become.Support the Show:Ever wanted to become the cryptid?
