The Appalachian Mountains are said to hold all sorts of disturbing and dangerous things, and we don't just mean bears. The people who live in Appalachia have rules, and those rules are in place for a reason. Tonight, we take a nosedive into something the Algonquin speaking tribes warn against, and for good reason. Greed, gluttony, famine. Be it beast, spirit, or man's own mind, the Wendigo is terrifying no matter how you frame it. From old lore to pop culture, Alyssa and Lindsay examine what the beast might be and why it was and still is warned against, as well as a few stories about the creature. Grab your blankets and have a seat, hauntlings, and if you hear someone calling your name from outside, remember, you didn't hear it.
