Like, you know, I remember I think when he was working on The Last Winter with Ed Pressman, there was initially talk of a Wendigo.
Adam BarnickPANELIST
No, I mean, yeah, a Wendigo sequel.

Tristan HughesNARRATOR
I'm an old school Chevy guy, so I wouldn't know, haha.
Tristan HughesNARRATOR
The only thing I can find online that resembles what we saw is a Wendigo, but without the antlers.
Tristan HughesNARRATOR
Or maybe the headlights didn't illuminate them.
Tristan HughesNARRATOR
Munkles and I were working on a slash piling contract and camping at Fay Lake after work each day.
Aidan MattisHOST
It was like three days before my last day.
Aidan MattisHOST
And I just made a video where I was like National Park Service was founded to hide the Wendigos from the people.
Aidan MattisHOST
And – And it just blew up so fast.
Aidan MattisHOST
You
Don MarshallGUEST

Aidan MattisHOST
Yeah, I think that's...
Aidan MattisHOST
I mean, I just think Wendigos as a folklore item are fascinating.

Like, just the...
Greg BakkenHOST
And I'm going to ask you something, Anita, since you're over by the Appalachian Mountains, what about Wendigo? Have you seen, have you heard, have you heard people talk about Wendigo at all? I
Anita AllenGUEST
hear that so much, I just want to go out and start smacking people upside the head.
Anita AllenGUEST
Wendigos belong to the north.
Anita AllenGUEST
What we have in these mountains is...
Anita AllenGUEST

Steve StocktonNARRATOR
It's a story that belongs to the Algonquin peoples, a cultural family whose history is woven into the very land.
Steve StocktonNARRATOR
This is the legend of the Wendigo, a malevolent spirit that embodies the horrors of winter, starvation, and the ultimate human taboo, cannibalism.
Steve StocktonNARRATOR
The Wendigo is not an animal to be hunted.
Steve StocktonNARRATOR
It's a supernatural entity and a curse.
Steve StocktonNARRATOR
While modern pop culture often depicts it as a monster with a deer skull for a head, the original folklore describes something far more chilling.
Steve StocktonNARRATOR
The Wendigo is a gaunt, emaciated giant, impossibly tall and skeletal thin.
Steve StocktonNARRATOR
Its skin is the ashen gray of death, pulled taut over its bones, and its eyes are sunk deep in their sockets.
Steve StocktonNARRATOR
It's a walking personification of famine, its tattered lips stained with blood from its insatiable hunger for flesh.
Tristan HughesNARRATOR
They had intel on a strange creature, something far beyond what even the deepest corners of the cryptid world had heard of.
Tristan HughesNARRATOR
This wasn't just a Bigfoot or a Wendigo.
Tristan HughesNARRATOR
It was something new, something older.
Tristan HughesNARRATOR
Something that had no right to exist, but did.
speaker_0NARRATOR
I thought I just saw a couple demon kids or ghosts, or I didn't know what to think.
speaker_0NARRATOR
To this day, I've looked through tons of photos of supposed cryptid beasts and mythological creatures looking for what I hit, and the closest I've found is some Algonquin drawings of Wendigos, and they were very close to what I believe I saw and hit that night." It seems to me very odd both things could happen so close to one another to not be related.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Possibly it was an evil area, or possibly a ley line, I don't know.
speaker_0NARRATOR
I would like to point out I've lived in Wisconsin a long time, and it was not a deer or a coyote or anything else.
