Three cases. Three encounters with the horrifying influence of the Wendigo. In 19th‑century Canada, Swift Runner's descent into darkness led him to commit unspeakable acts of cannibalism, as he claimed the spirit of the Wendigo drove him to murder. In another chilling tale, Jack Fiddler emerged as a relentless Wendigo hunter, determined to confront and vanquish the malevolent force that haunted his people—even as his actions collided with colonial laws. And in modern times, a brutal attack aboard a Greyhound bus in Manitoba, marked by shocking violence and cannibalism, has drawn unsettling parallels to the ancient Wendigo myth. Were these tragic events mere coincidences, or do they reveal the enduring terror of a dark force that transforms man into monster?
