This week, we trace the legend of the Wendigo — a creature born from hunger, gluttony, and the brutal cold of the Great Lakes. From Algonquin oral traditions to 19th-century courtrooms, this isn’t just a monster story — it’s a record of what happens when survival crosses the line into sin. Featuring the true cases of Swift Runner and Jack Fiddler, and the eerie phenomenon once known as Wendigo psychosis, we’ll ask the question no one wants answered: Is the Wendigo a spirit that possesses… or a person transformed by hunger itself?
