Wendigo

from Crazy Alchemist · host Crazy Alchemist

The Wendigo: the cannibal spirit of Algonquin tradition. A person who eats human flesh during famine transforms into a gaunt, towering creature whose hunger grows with every meal. A bestiary entry covering the Ojibwe and Cree traditions, the Swift Runner case, Jack Fiddler's executions, the scholarly debate over wendigo psychosis, and the creature's role as an ecological warning against greed in the subarctic north.
