Venture deep into the shadowy forests of North America, where ancient legends still whisper and the line between man and monster blurs. In this episode, we unravel the terrifying story of the Wendigo—a creature born from Algonquian myth, feared for its insatiable hunger and chilling power to corrupt the human soul.


Discover how the Wendigo became more than just a horror story, morphing into a stark warning against greed, excess, and the darkness lurking within us all. We’ll explore its grotesque form, its terrifying powers of possession, and the uneasy truth it reveals about our own forbidden appetites.


Join us as we ask: what happens when desire devours humanity, and can the beast within ever truly be defeated?
