In part 2, we jump deep into the chilling legend of the Wendigo, a terrifying creature from Native belief known for its insatiable hunger for human flesh. But this isn't just a tale of horror; it's also the story of a tragedy that shook the Canadian wilderness in the late 19th century.
Join us as we unravel the haunting events surrounding the trial of Swift Runner, a Cree trapper who, in the harsh winter of 1878, committed a gruesome act that horrified the nation. Accused of cannibalism, Swift Runner's case became a macabre spectacle, raising questions about the blurred line between reality and the supernatural.
We examine the psychological and cultural factors that may have contributed to Swift Runner's heinous actions, as well as the enduring influence of the Wendigo legend on our collective imagination. Brace yourself for a bone-chilling journey that will leave you questioning the boundaries of human nature and the darkness that lurks within us all.
