About this episode

This episode explores the chilling legend of the Wendigo and its historical implications through the story of Swift Runner.

Deep in the frozen forests of North America, the ancient legend of the Wendigo has haunted Indigenous tribes for centuries... In this video, we explore the infamous chilling story of Swift Runner, a Cree fur trapper, who according to reports, transformed into the heinous beast and went on a killing spree... We will dive into all of the ancient Cree and Algonquian warnings about the feared Wendigo, as well as the historical reports, alleged sightings, and the disturbing question behind the legend: is the Wendigo only mythology… or could something far darker be hiding in the wilderness?
