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?

American Radical MS NOW, Ayman Mohyeldin Rosanne Boyland hated politics. She was shy, and she rarely left her home in Georgia. But then her family got a shocking call: Rosanne had died at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, in the middle of a crowd trying to force its way past a police line. From the depths of their grief, the Boylands vow to figure out what happened to Rosanne. Her brother-in-law, Justin Cave, reaches out to an old high school friend he hopes can help: MS NOW journalist Ayman Mohyeldin. The quest for the truth takes Ayman back to his hometown of Kennesaw, Georgia, where he retraces the last six months of Rosanne's life and picks up a trail that leads to childhood haunts, missing boyfriends, and down shadowy internet rabbit holes.
