What happens when isolation turns deadly? Step into the chilling world of Native American cryptids with us as we untangle the mysteries of the Wendigo – a terrifying cannibalistic entity born from human desperation and starvation.
The Wendigo isn't just a monster; it's a cautionary tale woven into Algonquian folklore warning against greed and selfishness. With a heart literally made of ice, these creatures grow larger with each human they consume, yet remain perpetually hungry. Their ability to mimic human voices makes them particularly dangerous predators, luring unsuspecting victims deeper into the wilderness.
We explore documented accounts of supposed Wendigo possession, including the disturbing case of Swift Runner, a Cree hunter who consumed his family during a harsh winter in 1878. Was he truly possessed by a malevolent spirit, or was this simply a horrific breakdown of human morality in desperate times?
From there, our cryptid journey takes us to the Appalachian mountains where the Wampus Cat prowls. This half-human, half-feline beast from Cherokee mythology represents yet another fascinating intersection of indigenous beliefs and American folklore. Unlike the universally malevolent Wendigo, the Wampus Cat's role shifts between vengeful spirit and protector of nature depending on which version of the legend you encounter.
As a palate cleanser from our foray into folklore's darker corners, we round out the episode with a global tour of Easter traditions. From the explosive "Scopio del Caro" celebration in Florence to Australia's environmentally-conscious Easter Bilby, discover how different cultures have shaped this holiday into unique expressions of community, faith, and spring renewal.
Whether you're a folklore enthusiast, cryptid hunter, or simply curious about how mythology shapes our understanding of the world, this episode offers something to feed your curiosity – just be careful not to develop an insatiable hunger like the Wendigo!

The Wendigo: Myth and Danger
Speaker 2Cut it out. Cut it out, jamie. Alright, bro, let's go ahead and head into this then. Today we're going to be Talking about some Very good, interesting things that many people have common knowledge about, I feel like at least.
Speaker 1Yeah, I feel like it is common. Yeah, the first one was definitely common knowledge. I was going to cover it since we covered Skinwalkers last week. I feel like it was a good, because for me I always struggle with that the difference between a Skinwalker. I'll go ahead and tell you. Should I go ahead and tell them Between the difference between a Skinwalker and a Wendigo? I've always like it's not the same thing. It's not the same thing.
Speaker 2Yo FYB, it's not the same thing.
Speaker 1Reverence. It is not the same thing.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1Who was it? Was that the teacher that did that? Mr Mackey from Suffolk, okay.
Speaker 2Drugs are bad. Okay, drugs are bad, okay, okay. But so now when?
Speaker 1it goes in uh, skinwalkers are different, okay, okay. Well, I haven't seen south park in a minute. They got that new season coming they got new season for real.
Speaker 2What is this one gonna be?
Speaker 1um, they had the trailer, they released the trailer for it, but I can't remember bro, because what was the last one Was the last one where they switched characters, right? I think so. Right when it was like girls, mm-hmm, those were the Like, the gender role, reverse thing whatever, it is. Okay, that was the last one, okay, okay, so what the Wendigo I'm about to read, like the little Pokedex thing.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, no, read like the AI voiceover things.
Speaker 1Like the country one.
Speaker 2Just say your name, like Yayo FYB said that, reverent, reverent.
Speaker 1Nah, it's Reverent.
Speaker 2Funny that you ask what a Wendigo is.
Speaker 1Funny that you ask. Alright, so the Wendigo is a mythological, cannibalistic monster from Algonquian folklore. It is often depicted as a giant humanoid creature with heart of ice, often depicted as a tall and man-seeing humanoid with ravenous hunger for human flesh. The legend typically originates from the tale of a human who succumbed to starvation and cannibalism, becoming corrupted and transformed into a wendigo. The wendigo is said to possess humans and cause them to commit murder. So a little appearance, a little breakdown a little bit. So little appearance, little breakdown, a little bit. So I mean, I already said it, but you know, pale, skinny, humanoid, sharp teeth, foul, odor and glowing eyes. I used to associate the Wendigo with having the antlers antlers with the skull on it. So it they're not like that, they're just like tall skinny like humanoids, so they don't look like the ones from Fallout.
Speaker 1No, well, the ones from Fallout, because they got the big ones. Well, they look like the ones from Fallout. Yeah, it's just regular people. Yeah, fallout has the, fallout has both of them.
Speaker 2Fallout has, like the, the big you're talking about 76 they got the wind that goes on there too, right, but they don't got the.
Speaker 1They don't got the uh no, they don't have like no skull oh right, it's just like a human looking okay, so yeah, it's like that.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, it's like that one it's like that one.
Speaker 1Yeah, um, hold on. I had to hear the little note of okay, well, I'll get to it later before I lose my spot. But yeah, that's the skull was just it became popular with pop culture and everything like that, and so it just, it just became that, became more popular. So that's how I used to take the Wendigo, look like and what not, but apparently it's not like that look like the deer skull.
Speaker 2Yeah with the disco, it's just.
Speaker 1Yeah with the big, yeah I used to think it was like a humongous, like creature, but it's more of a humanoid, humanoid thing. It's just, you know, just just just a little thing, um, but okay. So it's never satisfied with food and it grows larger with each meal, which I didn't know, and it likes to stalk his victims. I didn't know what to say that what I say grows bigger with each meal because they can't. Their hunger is never uh satisfied my husband was satisfied so as long as they keep on eating.
Speaker 1They keep getting bigger, uh, uh. So it's also says a cautionary tale against, against greed. So the so the Wendigo. Like that's, that's what they're saying, like it was against greed, selfishness and isolation. So all you greedy motherfuckers, y'all might be a Wendigo damn.
Speaker 2That explains everything that explains everything. Ever. Mr Krabs was a Wendigo. We done, we done, exposed the pure cosmic cold. Holy shit, damn. That explains everything. That explains everything. Ella, mr Krabs was a Wendigo. We done exposed him here at Cosmic Cove. Holy shit, we just exposed Mr Krabs. He is a Wendigo. Is Mr Krabs a Wendigo? Holy shit, let me sit up. I'm chilling too hard. All right, my fault, y'all. All right, let me give y'all a little.
Speaker 1Oh no, I was just going to finish off with the original. It's a monster after it became a monster after committing cannibalism or being possessed by a spirit, and it's a manifestation of the anxieties of harsh winters and how to survive them. So that's just. That goes with a little bit of like why it came about and whatnot.
Speaker 2All right, let me tell you what a Wendigo is. So a Wendigo no, I'm just joking, no, I'm just. The part I didn't understand was the heart of ice or snow, like what is that supposed to mean?
Speaker 1I think they legit, got a heart or a heart of ice.
Speaker 2Me pulling up with the torch Back back, demon, Back back, that's what oh? For real.
Speaker 1So they're scared. They're scared of fire.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, that's right. They are afraid of fire.
Speaker 1They're scared of fire and supposedly To get rid Of one. Oh, right here. If you don't mind, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2Go ahead. Let me know Of the weakness.
Speaker 1Okay, so the common weakness Is fire, with some legends suggesting that burning the creature To death or even melting Its icy heart in the fire is necessary to truly vanquish it. Other methods include silver weapons, iron, or the intervention of a shaman with specific spells and ceremonies. So that's how you get rid of one If you try to go toe-to-toe with one. What you're going to need? You're going to need a torch, you're going to need some gasoline, you're going to need some bullets.
Speaker 2Once you got all those things ready.
Speaker 1Yeah, they did say you can. Uh, uh huh. They said iron bro, if you put fire on the sword, you're doing double damage. Really, from that logic, from that logic right there, you're doing double damage. Every time you slash, you burn it. It can't heal, because it can heal itself too.
Speaker 2I saw that Um Ways to deal with the Wendigo.
Speaker 1It says avoidance is the best strategy. Avoidance yep.
Speaker 2But sometimes you do catch yourself in a predicament where you got your pants down, you go in the woods to do your thing Okay, and you got to go poop Okay, but you end up jerking instead and forgot you had to poop Cas, but you end up jerking instead and forgot you had to poop. Casual thing just another thursday really. Oh so I'm the only one that suffers with that huh, impulsive masturbation. I guess I'm the only. You're telling me you can do that in the snow, so I'm the only one that scratches his. Uh, never mind, I'm getting too graphic, so I'm the only one that gets like a little. I rub my hand across at one. I said one time motherfucker, get instantly horned.
Speaker 1Damn, who's still 15? 10. It do be like that. Sometimes you catch a little updrift, a little updrift every once in a while. It's just hey, you look down, hey, you know it's locked and loaded. What you going to do?
Speaker 2Oh, so I'm the one with the issues, huh, Alright. So it said, don't engage directly. They are far stronger than humans. Cap For real.
Speaker 1I agree with that Cap For real.
Speaker 2They ain't stronger than me. Can they hold this 45?
Speaker 1Boom, boom, boom. And from last episode what we learned class. Nah, I'm just messing 45 is the round of God.
Speaker 2All right. So they say. Fire is often cited as the most effective way to kill one. In other versions, the only way to defeat one is to destroy its frozen heart, often hidden inside its chest or buried nearby.
Speaker 1Oh shit, so it can be buried nearby.
Speaker 2Oh shit they said you could use traditional indigenous rituals or spiritual guidance from a shaman or medicine man. They said it's best to stay in groups, solitude invites possession, and offer food or warmth to travelers to protect against the spirit's influence a lesson in hospitality, okay, okay, I mean that that comment now just for experiment.
Speaker 1That's what you're gonna do, just for experiment. But we're gonna get him up for. Isolate him, bro, go to the mountains. Isolate him, bro, go to the mountains. Isolate him, bro. Don't even talk to him, bro.
Speaker 2So if it possesses the person, that we isolated. We beat the crap out the dude. We essentially beat the windigo.
Speaker 1So this is what you do, just to prep a little bit Ahead of time. We're going to time up Ocean 12 type shit. Before he even starts getting possessed. So he started getting possessed. You know, he transforms into a Wendigo, hands already tied up. We already see his heart turn into ice. We already got pipe bombs ready, bro, pipe bombs.
Speaker 2Bro it's.
Speaker 1With thermite in there, bro, it's going to burn, bro. Ain't no one burns harder than thermite, bro?
Speaker 2Did you know that if you use jet fuel that'd probably be better Because it could smell? Jet fuel melts still beams for all the people that don't know.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, it does that. Oh yeah, it does it like at a perfect 45 degree. No, not 40.
Speaker 2Yeah, 45, right, it does it like at a good angle it makes a clean cut.
Speaker 1I mean, I mean explosion I mean that explosion, it melts it in a particular pattern. Oh yeah, oh yeah, we ain't leaving it. Where's my script? At where's?
Speaker 2the where's the script the government gave me? Jet fuel can melt, still beams in a particular pattern that often looks like it looks like it exploded but it was actually just what do you think about it? Parentheses do not say or read this sentence right here look in camera, don't blink.
Speaker 1Proceeds to blink. I thought you're gonna blink he proceeds to blink.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's what they said. You could do that stuff like would you jet fuel?
Speaker 1no, no, he's just joking about that.
Speaker 2Fuck, where was I? Oh yeah, staying together and everything like that.
Speaker 1Oh, okay, to prevent. To prevent anybody From being isolated.
Speaker 2To get possessed, because you said Isolation was another thing Of people getting Turned into the window. Yeah, they get possessed.
Speaker 1Essentially, they get possessed by the spirit, the spirit of the window, and then that turns them Into start having the cannibalistic uh features and everything. So then he'll start turning and and once he starts eating people, I think that's when his heart's turning to ice so he becomes the next one to go.
Speaker 1He becomes the next one to go damn and then he's, and then okay, so then he has to keep. He has to keep killing because he's always hungry, so he can't stop. That's where it comes to being so deadly, because he got to keep, literally he got to keep going. It's like crank bro. He got to keep going, bro.
Speaker 2Who said like crank? Who said Jason Statham?
Speaker 1Amazing movie, by the way.
Speaker 2All right, what do you got then?
Speaker 1You got stories or what, yeah you got more information.
Speaker 2Yeah, I got some more.
Speaker 1Go ahead, drop that knowledge.
Speaker 2Go ahead, go ahead Okay.
Speaker 1You pretty much read my notes Tears, tears, tears out of tears. So all right, so tell you this oh, talk about the or antlers. The deer association gained popularity in 20th and 21st century through movies, role-playing games and other media. So I mean, that's kind of that's kind of valid, but that shit does look pretty cool though it looks the modern look right, though I like it, I like that one movie um you talking about Ritual, ritual, yes, but that was such a good movie I like that.
Speaker 2I don't know if other people did. I like that.
Speaker 1I thought that was a good movie. I know a lot of people said it wasn't um all that I love the movie.
Speaker 2I guess just the reveal of the monster, but that anticipation and build it to it. I was like let me see it, let me see it. And then they finally showed that crazy ancient that one was crazy and the languages spoke. I was like this is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1Oh, the, the signs. You know the signs and everything show up throughout the uh, throughout the movie. Those are alakok, al Wokey, and the symbols the ones that we were talking about before that you could use on Skinwalkers too, I don't remember. You remember there's like a bunch of symbols that just appear throughout the movie. It'd be like on the branches.
Speaker 2Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what you're talking about now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1Those were like to protect to. Those were like to protect to keep stuff inside or like keep it away. That's why they were inside the hut and stuff like that but since it was already broken and they had already like they were already coming in and out and they said, please, they weren't doing anything, no more, so they needed a shaman to actually lock that in. Damn the more you know.
Speaker 2Yeah, cosmic Cole that was a pretty good movie, though. Y'all should watch that movie. Y'all should watch it. Yeah, I haven't watched it yet for real. What's it called? The Ritual, the? Ritual it's super scary, at least I thought it was scary. It had me on my.
Wendigo Stories and Accounts
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, oh creepy. It was pretty creepy, and then that, mixed with the bloodiness and the action of it, all right, they, they, they. It's hard to make a scary movie like that. Okay, so some of its powers possess superhuman strength and stamina, so it can tear humans apart, live from them with little effort, snap necks and carry two people at once. Allegedly allegedly it has titan senses that allow it to track its prey and know the exact movements of its target. Even if it's many miles away. It can move at a superhuman speed. They can also mimic human voices to lure their victims deeper into danger. This includes screams for help and the ability to rapidly heal and restore to full health and state. Uh, it has insatiable hunger for human flesh, and they're said to be born from starvation, and their hunger never diminishes, even as they grow by consuming human flesh. The more they eat, the more they crave damn bro do you have anything else or no?
Speaker 1no, no.
Speaker 2I just got like accounts and everything. I wish I had more, but I mean that's pretty much. It it's like the same. Yeah, that's not. I really don't know much about it.
Speaker 1I mean, yeah, that's not and, like you said, it's already like well-known, like what they do and everything like that.
Speaker 2There is such thing as Wendigo Hunters. Oh okay, such as Jesse, something, something, something on TikTok. That's a real Wendigo hunter, y'all. This man was out there risking his life for everybody on TikTok to go hunt these. That motherfucker had me locked down, Bro.
Speaker 1I had to put that shit on the big screen, bro. Who put it on? The 75? Bro, that's. I was really locked in, bro, for two hours. We had to break it down, bro. We had to break it down, bro.
Speaker 2I'm going to give you a little bit more, bro, go ahead.
Speaker 1So when it goes to psychosis, in the early 20th century psychiatrists used the term when to go to describe a mental condition where individuals feel possessed by cannibalistic desires. So it was actually like little, but they weren't possessed or anything like that, they were just. They were feeling like they wanted to eat people so that's just person.
Speaker 2That's like transitioning into a Wendigo, like turning into cannibalism. Is that what you?
Speaker 1mean not even. It's like an actual medical. It's like an actual medical condition oh shit, like like they they were.
Speaker 1They're just like something's wrong, like something's like legit, like wrong with them Bass out Like Probably, probably, and so they was just started, like they was just started Attacking people and like trying to eat people. But it's not like they're turning into a Wendigo, they're just they started having like those Like you could say, quote unquote Traits of Wendigo Without turning, but it's just them losing their mind and it's just like a condition. They just have to be hospitalized and whatnot.

Speaker 1hotter boy Really that's when you play that card. You can't even eat me. Look, look what my own body doing to me. Look, think about what you're going to do to your body.
Speaker 2Oh, you stink good.
Speaker 1Oh, no, oh you came seasoned already boy Watch that though. That meat canyon bro, so, um, okay, so yeah, that's basically. I got a couple, just just a couple uh, stories just a couple silly stories a couple of these stories. Really, that's really like you said, that's really not much that it can guarantee that it is an actual, it's an actual wendigo.
Speaker 2But um, I got this one. So one of the most well-documented wendigo related cases occurred in 1878 in alberta, canada. Swift runner was a cree hunter known for his strength and knowledge of the wild. During a harsh winter he took his family deep into the woods to wait out the season, but come spring only swift runner returned, oddly well fed. For someone who claimed to have starved, he aroused suspicion. When authorities investigated, they found bones and remains near his camp. He had killed his. He had killed and eaten his wife, children, brother and mother-in-law. Swift runner eventually confessed. He claimed he had been possessed by the wendigo spirit, driven by an uncontrollable hunger. What makes this more terrifying is the fact that Swift Runner had access to supplies nearby. He didn't have to eat his family. It wasn't necessity. It was something deeper, darker. He was executed by hanging, but many still say he was just the man caught in the Wendigo's curse. That's crazy, crazy.
Speaker 1I remember that. I remember that one, bro, just uh so that, because that's what you said, like they said that the wendigo can essentially be like a virus and pass that uh that uh they hunger that, that, that psychosis, that psychosis to you, but I don't even know how to say it, that thing he could pass that thing he just be passing that thing to you.
Speaker 2He literally be like COVID type shit. Throw that bitch you just chilling. Wham Got a. Oh, fuck my head. I feel like I'm about to eat you. Let's start acting like them kids in school. Did he fucking growl at me? You do not want to see me angry? I advise you, step back and get away from me.

At night, uh, or between these times I will hear knocking or scratching at my window. Some people say that it's the window adjusting, it's raccoons, possums or rats or bugs or bugs hitting the window, but the window has never adjusted before my window. So it's all for an animal like the ones.
Speaker 1I listen, and even if I turn my lights off, I can still hear tapping. One night I was laying on my bed when I heard the tapping, but when I heard footsteps like something, but I heard footsteps like something On two legs outside Then in the living room the door opened and then I heard the footsteps again, but they sounded like it had claws At the end of its feet. I walked around and then I saw Closing the door, so I came into the house and then he heard it and then and then went back outside. Okay. So, incident two my pets are possessed or something.

What's scary about that? Well, the first time it happened was when I was trying to get her. My dad said that she was now under the kitchen table. When I had put her outside, I looked under my bed only to see a bear. To see bear still under it. That's the cat's name.
Differentiating Between Cryptids
Speaker 1One day when I came home from high school, I accidentally hit one of my cats on the covers on the floor. But bear was in the kitchen, okay, and bed was slipping on my bed. After an hour I made some coffee and put it on my nice thing. When I leaned over to take a drink, I saw my cat bit under my bed. I saw my cat, but under my bed. His neck looked twisted, like he crawled underneath and snapped his neck at me. When I tried to look at him he was gone in a flash, but the whole time he was on my bed. This happened recently. I was outside of my dad's porch. My dad then told me that he saw a cat that looked like bit, being black and white, but there has been no other cats around us and we lived in country and, plus a week ago, bit died by getting ran over. It was just seeing multiple of his cats or something.

There was no storms or hail and it happened randomly. This is the last thing that happened to me and still happens. When I'm outside, I hear and see our garage move and something's slamming into it. You may say wind, but it's not windy out. But that's the final one.
Speaker 2He just said so. Apparently he's still be, this stuff still be happening, so this still messes with them and whatnot. But yeah, that's that's it for that one. All right, I got one for you.
Speaker 1So this is like near late wendigo and minnesota. I didn't know there was a. I was about to say I didn't know there was a lake, uh lake wendigo.
Speaker 2Uh-huh, they said, it's late wendigo in minnesota, earlier 20th century. Uh, settlers and locals share like eerie experiences, so families refused to camp by the lake. Rangers reported huge footprints in the snow, far too large for any man or animal. Locals heard howls that sounded like twisted screaming voices echoing through the trees. One settler swore he saw a giant creature with bones showing through its skin and antlers crowning its head, watching from the tree lines. Um, he fled in terror. Weeks later he found he was found wandering the forest naked, frostbitten and mumbling about a hunger he couldn't escape oh, he never mentally recovered.
Speaker 2Today, hikers still report strange sounds and feelings of being watched. Some claim the windigo still guards the lake, drawn to suffering and solitude oh shit, shit. For all you people that live in the city and be like I need to escape the city, I need to go to solitude, I need to go get away from the busy noise. This is what you can expect to have happen.

Speaker 1So Late fall 2010 In northern Canada, I went deep into the wilderness With my father and my eldest brother To hunt for moose. We left in the early morning, just before sunrise, trying to cover as much distance as possible before nightfall. We traveled Winding rivers and had a repealy Portage over rapids all day. We decided to settle camp Just over halfway to our destination. My father figured that we make the rest of the journey tomorrow. Well, when everyone bedded down for the night, why am I reading like this Hold on, because I hold on, let me lock the fuck in Tway. Hold on, bro.
Speaker 2Me reading in front of the hoods. Got this long ass story.
Speaker 1For no reason, bro. I thought it was going to build oil into this.
Speaker 2No, you're good, bro, you're good.
Speaker 1Whenever we went bedded down for the night, I decided to grab some firewood and relieve myself down by the bank of the river, Just out of reach of the light from the campfire. Out from the tree line, about 15 yards away, I could hear rustling in the bushes. I watched the area where I heard the noise and focus on the spot. I felt kind of funny, dizzy, lightheaded and I could smell this putrid stink like old milk or rotten food. Then I saw the trees start to morph and move ever so slightly and begin to take the shape of a head and slight facial features. My eyes began to adjust to the darkness and along the tree line I could hear the voice coming from there. I recognized it. The voice sounded like one of my relatives who had recently passed. The face took shape of my relative Hello. They said I've missed you, Come see me.
Speaker 1I smiled and stepped forward a bit, but stopped to analyze the situation. My relative's face stopped smiling and became emotionless. The skin began to turn pale and peel away. Chunks of flesh from the cheeks began to fall away and I felt shock and fear overwhelm my body. I couldn't make sense of it at all, so I started to back away and make my way to camp. I didn't realize at the time that I had been walking towards the voice and I was further away from the firelight. The voice became angry and began shouting at me come here. So I turned to run away. But as I looked back one more time, I saw the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. It was raw flesh and not bone, caved in the eyes and hollow chest cavity. The human creature was tall and super thin. I ran as fast as I could, trying to yell for help, but the fear had me. The fear had made my voice quiet and raspy. I ran along the riverbank and I could hear the heavy breath and the stomping feet from this thing right behind me. I manned onto the top of the riverbank but it grabbed a hold of my leg as I jumped up. I gripped it toward the grass, trying to lift myself and yell as loud as I could. Then, finally, my voice came back and I yelled that someone has my leg.
Speaker 1My brother woke up and ran over to where I was. Then he pulled me up and took me over to the fire. I was terrified, trying to explain what I saw and that I looked like my and that it looked like my relative, but not. I was trying to convince them but I wasn't seeing things. But my brother nodded his head and said I saw it too. I know that solidified it. He acknowledged that it was real.
Speaker 1We stayed up all night after that wife was loaded and closed by. We packed up when the sun was coming up and went back home. Um, we haven't shared a story with anyone out of fear. We packed up when the sun was coming up and went back home. We haven't shared a story with anyone out of fear of being labeled as crazy or lies. I've had nightmares and couldn't sleep for months afterwards. I would see things, dark figures looking into my window, or hear whispers when I was walking home at night. Eventually I was seeing this dark figure daily. I went to Medicine man Shaman for help, but I've learned that the ceremonies only release temporarily. Friends have given me everything from protection pouches to certain crystals. I found that that's a strong possibility that I encountered at Wendigo.
Speaker 2Damn bro, that's a pretty crazy story.
Speaker 1A little crazy, a little crazy.
Speaker 2That buildup was a little crazy, but that shit sounded like a fan fiction type thing.
Speaker 1At first, didn't it?
Speaker 2He was standing behind that tree hiding.
Speaker 1Big muscular.
Speaker 2I was working to that, I saw his hands doing weird fast motion, so I stood up and got closer to him.
Speaker 1I bit my lips, that's all.
Speaker 2I'm about to start writing my own erotic fan fiction stuff, all right. So I think, is that all you got?
Speaker 1You got, one more, I got one more, but just time we can move on to the next one. If you want, bro, All right bro.
Speaker 2Yeah, let's go ahead and head to the next one then, just for time purposes, because the camera doesn't really have too much of a time and it's about to overheat. But y'all let us know what y'all think about the wendigo. I know there's like countless information probably that we missed. There's probably like fun facts about it that's not we covered everything that's. That's exactly right. Here at cosmic co we hundred percent each and every topic. There is not no new information that you could provide for us don't text us or call us.
Speaker 1There's nothing you can tell us that we already. Don't, unless you're paying 14 for 14.99, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 2Just for us to maybe answer, I'm gonna block your shit. Lock in twin, lock in.
Speaker 1All right, but uh go ahead, hit that, bro. Go ahead, hit that.
The Wampus Cat: Southern Folklore

Y'all let us know if y'all have any uh, fun facts about it, any history about it, or any people that are like native american and actually like partaking either like, uh, the medicine, part of it, like I wouldn't say part of it, but, like they said, like the medicine men you know have battles with it, in the sense of somebody might be infected, or uh, by the virus of the windigo, the wendigo and stuff like that and ways to treat.
Speaker 2If y'all have any kind of like a possession, if y'all have like any type of story or anything like that, let us know. I'd really appreciate it. Uh, y'all can message us at cosmic cove, at k-o-s-m-i-c. Underscore c-o-v-e, on uh, tiktok and instagram. But, um, that's gonna lead to the next next subject. You already know what time it is. It's time for that. Which one is it Fear? Is it all in your mind or could it be real? Welcome to Fear. Fact or Fiction Boo, we already got y'all scared and worked up.
Speaker 1Look, at y'all shivering.
Speaker 2That first part was scary. I can barely keep my courage together.
Speaker 1I was trying to find the face. I couldn't find my teeth that fast.
Speaker 2You want to tell them what this is? Yaya, Go ahead and tell them. Break it down to them All right, check this out.
Speaker 1You got womomp Puss Cat, what that?
Speaker 2tell you what that?
Speaker 1tell you what that spell? Wompus, what happened so yeah, so we're gonna be covering the Wompus, the.
Speaker 2Wompus Cat. That's right, the Wompus Cat, a weird cryptid Rooted in American Southern folklore. What is the Wompus Cat, yayo, before you ask.
Speaker 1Reverence. The Wampus Cat is a mythical cat-like creature from American folklore with origins in Cherokee mythology and I was waiting for you to say. And what Reverence Go ahead, fill it in for me Appalachian region.
Speaker 2It sounds like I literally just edited my voice to say that it does.
Speaker 1Full of Appalachian legends. Its appearance varies by region, ranging from comical to frightening. The wampus cat is often depicted as a half-human, half-feline beast with a human face and a feline body. It's said to be similar in size and appearance to a cougar or mountain lion, and is able to walk on its hind legs and outrun arrows.
Speaker 2Wait, you said it was a cat-like body with a human-like face, so it's kind of like the Egyptian Sphinx.
Speaker 1Like the Sphinx, yep Right In a sense. In a sense, yeah, in that aspect, yeah.
Speaker 2Here in North Carolina we have our own Sphinx. We might not have them crazy pyramids but we do have the Sphinx.
Speaker 1We do have pyramids. Oh no, not in North Carolina. Oh yeah, we do the Bass Pro Shop.
Speaker 2No, no, it's Cabela's. What is it Cabela's? That's Cabela's. Fuck, that's Bass Pro Shop. It is Bass Pro Shop Memphis, tennessee, though. Oh, that's in Tennessee, that's in Tennessee. We're close. We are pretty close, we're close.
Speaker 1We got pyramids.
Speaker 2What's a four-hour drive? What's?
Speaker 1a four-hour drive.
Speaker 2If not, that's us just going to work Right.
Speaker 1Slight, slight Ain't coming back the same day, no.
Speaker 2Sorry y'all.
Speaker 1What were you saying there? Six legs with. So apparently one for walking and four for well, two for walking and four for fighting, and some describe it as able to swim like mink. So shit began a little crazy. Like I said, wampa's Cat has legend has roots in Cherokee folklore, particularly the tale of running deer, a woman cursed to transform into Wampa's Cat for eavesdropping on the tribal ceremony, allegedly Allegedly Damn.
Speaker 2that's pretty crazy. I saw that it says. Depending on who you ask, the wampus cat is either like a spiritual guardian, a cursed shapeshifter, a mutated cryptid, sometimes linked to witchcraft, revenge, native American mythology, occasionally described as a government experiment gone wrong, though that's more of a modern urban legend.
Speaker 1Oh, okay, okay, I'm intrigued. I'm intrigued on that, on the experiment one. Okay, so there's some stories suggesting that it can paralyze or even draw people insane with its gaze. Some argue that the Wumpus cat site is maybe past what may be based on actual encounters with other large predators like cougars, or possible exaggerated tales of animal behavior do you have like a description how it looks like?
Speaker 2I mean, you said it has like a human, like face and feline body, um yeah, it has any accounts that have said like? Because I have an account and they said it was like 46 feet long, about 300 pounds okay, go ahead.
Speaker 1It had like glow, I'm sorry. No, no, no, go ahead. I was. I was gonna say I don't have like, uh, description, descriptions specifically of what it like.
Speaker 2Okay, they said it had like glowing yellow light. I mean eyes, uh, green or even red eyes. Sometimes had a high pitch, human-like scream that echoes through valleys obviously its tracks are larger than a bobcat or mountain lion, with oddly shaped pads. Some say they resemble human handprints, so it's like a paw print, but like the hand for the handprint.
Speaker 2That's pretty crazy they said, they're nocturnal, highly territorial, elusive, hostile, threatened and, in some legends, the wampus cat has, like you said, hypnotic powers, telepathy or the ability to vanish into shadows okay, that was a little bit more.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's, that's. That's some way better description than the ones I have that's just some of the stuff that I see. I saw that also. Some interpretations suggest that the concept of a wampus cat was influenced by European mythologies, specifically the idea of witches, women with shapeshifting abilities, and these influences may have merged with the local Appalachian folklore Over time.
Speaker 2Get him out Over time. Get him out of here.
Speaker 1Okay, so yeah, yeah, apart from that, yeah, I just got two accounts for this one.
Speaker 2Oh, two accounts.
Speaker 1Let me tell you some of the origins of the.
Speaker 2Okay, go ahead, bro. Let me tell you the Shit, hold the. Okay, go ahead, bro. Let me tell you the Shit, hold up, all right. Cherokee legend. One of the oldest and most compelling origins of the Wampus cat comes from Cherokee mythology. According to the legend, a Cherokee woman curious about the men's sacred rituals it's just like what you said, but I'm going to break it down.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's fine disguised herself in the hide of a mountain lion and secretly watched the tribal shamans before a powerful ritual ceremony. When she was discovered, the shaman punished her for her sacrilege or how do you say that? By cursing her to wear the pelt forever, transforming her intoa creature that was half woman, half mountain lion, she became a spirit of vengeance and sorrow, condemned to wander the woods for eternity. This tale serves as a cautionary tale about violating sacred traditions and disrespecting spiritual customs. Some versions say she retained some of her human consciousness and roams the forest in grief and rage, haunting those who cross her path.
Speaker 2And then, like the Appalachian and Ozark folklorists and the hills of the Appalachia and the Appalachian area and parts of the Ozarks, the wampus cat is fears that feared as the most. Oh, fuck, sorry. The wampus cat is feared as a forest demon or hate, which is just like a evil spirit or some shit. Uh, hunters and loggers often spoke of hearing bone chilling screams at night or seeing shadowy feline figures dart between the trees, too large to be a normal cougar or bobcat. The wampus cat is also believed by some to be a predator of nature, punishing those I mean protector of nature, punishing those who defile the woods over hunters, polluters, loggers who take too much, and this sense is a spiritual enforcer, not unlike the skinwalker or Wendigo and other Native American traditions, so I would just be coming.
Speaker 1If you're doing bad, it's going to get you. You got that big greedy and stuff.
Speaker 2Then I got the Southern adaptation.
Speaker 1Oh, okay.
Speaker 2The modernized one.
Speaker 2I guess Okay, okay, it's like what it could be so in more recent Southern stories, especially one, I guess, like what it could be so in more recent southern stories, especially from alabama, tennessee, georgia and the carolinas. The wampus cat is sometimes viewed as a mutation, a bobcat or cougar that's been affected by toxic waste, radiation or even government testing. This version of the legend emerged in the 20th century alongside other cryptids like the chupacabra, playing into the cold war era, fears or and paranoia. Paranoia, some say. The wampus cat attacks livestock's, uh attacks livestock, leaves deep claw marks on barns and leaves behind strange footprints and tufts of mated fur so they do be fine.
Speaker 1A little bit of evidence.
Speaker 2According to this yeah, yeah, okay okay. Okay.
Speaker 1So this is Okay. So the Greenville I'm going to give you a little bit of a report.
Speaker 2Oh, you got your accounts Alright, or did you?
Speaker 1have any more.
Speaker 2I just have a couple of interesting details. Oh, you go ahead. Fun facts, it's just fun facts. You go ahead, okay.
Speaker 1Okay. So the Greenville Sun reported on December 17, 1918, a wumpus is reported roaming the big ridge in the vicinity of Kedris, maine. The newspaper went on to say that the sightings and rumors of the wumpus cat have persisted for generations, further fueling the intrigue and tall tales surrounding the beast. Years later, the creature made headlines again when it was blamed for a string of livestock deaths. Newspapers reported that the elusive monster had consumed dogs, pigs and other animals in the Norfolk area. They speculated that the wampus might belong to a species long believed to be extinct. They speculated that the wampus might belong to a species long believed to be extinct. While the papers of yore published a few reports of the wampus cat killing livestock, there's still no tangible proof of the cryptid's existence. Um, uh, so that's it for that? We already. We already covered this. Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2That's that, was it for that one so one of the legend maybe true accounts is uh, a man named henry cartwright reported hearing unholy screams while heading back to his farmhouse from a neighbor's late, from a neighbor's late one evening sorry, I can't fucking read. Uh, as he near the woods edge he spotted a tall creature, upright like a man but covered in matted fur like a cat like, with a cat like snout and long tail. It stared at him, let out a piercing shriek and bounced into the trees or bounded into the trees. Henry refused to walk alone at night for the rest of his life and told his grandchildren to wampus walks when the air is cold and angry. That was like look, I have like little short ones. Okay, yeah, little stories or whatever.
Speaker 1Okay. So at Wampus, there's a note. When Wampus came to Knoxville, tennessee, in the suburbs in November of 1918, dogs were dying in the found city, their hearts and livers ripped out with something razor sharp. Then the mule was killed in the nearby neighborhood of White Springs and some chickens met there in an intricate crush, with their blood sucked out. Some locals reported hearing the bay of a wild dog, others saw the tracks of a panther, so they were speculating it could have been a lioness that had escaped from a traveling carnival. When a zoologist from the University of Tennessee could not definitively identify the attacker, the hunt for the wampus was on no. On thanksgiving morning 1918, some 75 man armed with shotguns, rifles and even a few bow and arrows went searching for the animal, which had been described as gray, with white spots and a long tail and able to jump 12 feet at least, at least, at least in the air, according to the Knoxville Sentinel. Others described it as just a devil in the shape of a tiger who had who had come here to scare some of the wicked folks into doing right. No one claimed a hundred dollar reward for Wampus Karkas that day. Um uh.
Speaker 1A woman reported being attacked by an undead creature. Two days later A local shopkeeper bought her torn dress and put it on display. Large crowds have been around the window. The Sentinel reported Business had already been treading on the beast. In addition to the cash reward offered by the newspaper, the person who killed Wampus will receive a Kodak camera from the Kuhlman's drugstore. The wampus will receive a kota camera from the kuman's drugstore, five dollars in gold from jne, lutz and co insurance and a woman tailored coat suit. If a lady marksman kills, a warm garment or hat from the asking marine co. If a man shot the creature, no one caught it dang.
Speaker 2That's pretty cool, though, like they had. Yeah, they had like rewards and everything and then everybody pitched in their own type of reward type of thing, and then they even included something for the women. They were looking for it, bro, apparently bro.
Speaker 1So no one could, nobody could find it though.
Speaker 2Not, I've hid for as long as I could.
Speaker 1All right, brother, I know those houses are familiar.
Speaker 2Now I must tell you the truth I'm the wampus cat.
Speaker 1Go ahead, bro, hit your best meow, bro Meow, All right, all right.
Speaker 2Enough of this tomfoolery, time to get serious, y'all All right. So my account was multiple farmers woke up to find sheep and calves slaughtered, their bodies torn apart with what appeared to be a massive claw marks and puncture wounds. No predators native to the area would be responsible for this. Several people reported hearing a screeching howl, and one teen claimed to have seen a giant black feline with glowing green eyes perched atop a hill watching the farms. The town sheriff dismissed it as a cougar, but no cougars had been documented in the region for over 50 years, and this was in uh wilkes county north carolina in 1966 I mean 1996 pretty crazy you got, uh, I don't got no more.
Wampus Cat Encounters
Speaker 2Those were the uh last one before we we give it our review. All right, this one's called the hikers photograph smoky mountains 2012. I love the smoky mountains. If y'all have never been to the smoky mountains, I don't know if they said that's in tennessee, right? Uh it's like it runs through everyone's through it. Yeah, like that's the one you went to right yeah, yeah yeah, it goes from like tennessee to north carolina. It like it's like a little mountain chain or something bullshit like that. But it's so beautiful, bro, it's so beautiful I got to take you one day.
Speaker 2I got to take you one day. We'll try it. Fuck it, Y'all do the $14.99. Me and Yaya will get his GoPro and we'll document the whole thing. We'll go look for the Wampus cat. We're going to look for Wampus when they go Bigfoot Each other. We'll explore like cave divers. We'll do a cave diver meme video.
Speaker 1You just stand, I'll turn around and this is your shoes.
Speaker 2All right. So this is the hikers photograph in the Smoky Mountains 2012. Uh, all right. So this is the hikers photograph in the smoky mountains 2012. A hiker named marlene diaz was exploring a remote part of the smoky mountains near uh clingman's dome when she spotted what she first thought was a large cougar. She snapped the photo just before the creature turned to face her. According to the account, it had human-like eyes and its shoulders were too broad and upright for a normal feline. The blurry image became popular on regional cryptid forums and was dubbed the wampus glare wildlife shit. Wildlife experts wrote it off as a trick of the light or a hoax. But marlene, marlene shit, my fault. But marlene remains convinced it was real and that it followed her for half a mile before vanishing into the mist.
Speaker 1Damn An elusive creature.
Speaker 2Yeah, because they said it's elusive. That's pretty crazy, though, but I mean, all right, let's rank this real quick. Let's talk about this wampus, cat bowl crap, what you think.
Speaker 1I'm going to be honest I don't even think it's real, really, oh, you don't believe in it. I don't believe in it. I don't even think it's real, really, oh, you don't believe in it.
Speaker 2I don't believe in it. I don't believe in it either. Maybe in the form of a bobcat or something.
Speaker 1Maybe I'll give it bobcat. What I think because a lot of people, a lot of reports were saying this is people just identify larger cats, which is normal. I mean I'll get the dog confused with the wolf. You feel me, if it's at night with a coyote or something like that, you know, especially when you're out in the cut. When you're out in the cut it's different. It's different than over here in the big city. You feel me, it's a different lifestyle.
Speaker 2A whole different lifestyle.
Speaker 1You just shoot over that shit. But I don't really feel that it's a legit, because there's not really a lot, a lot of evidence or like physical evidence of, or more reports or more accounts, like saying that they have more sites or they like they've seen this, or more specific. It's always just a. I kind of saw this big cat or I heard something.
Speaker 1Yeah, exactly, that's just how I feel. That's just how I feel. Could it be real, maybe, but like we said earlier, it was more of a cautionary thing really for people and stuff like that. So I really don't even think this is a real threat. Really, it's scary, it sounds scary, it looks scary, but I don't think it's real. I don't think it can get you or nothing like that Right there on a 1-10. 1-10, I'm going to give it a 1. That's just if it is real. If it is real, you feel me.
Speaker 2If it is real.
Speaker 1I just give it a 1. Because it's not really attacking. Because the other thing, there really wasn't reports, apart from the one I said, of it actually attacking people. It was always. The other reports were just saying attacking livestock and yeah, well, livestock and whatnot, but it really wasn't attacking people. It really wasn't, you know, coming after them. It really wasn't antagonizing them. It was just, you know, it killed a bunch of animals. People were mad about it, they were hunting for it, like. So I really don't think it's, it's, it's something too serious I can get behind that uh uh, evaluation that you gave it and everything.
Speaker 2Because why I give it a two? But the only reason why I gave it a two was because it has the claw mark the claw. Okay, like deep gashes and everything which is always like a threat and everything in the terms of it being an actual thing. But me personally, I don't. I don't believe it being an actual thing either. I feel like it's just like a, like a little silly legend, something to bring in tourism, something to like attract.
Speaker 2Like you know just something to buzz about. If you're in, like in a small city and there ain't shit going on, you got to come up with either something that's either going to make things fun, interesting, bring in tourism, like we said.
Speaker 1How is a cat at Face of a human body, of a cat six legs or like four legs, two arms. That's gonna cause that's gonna cost people. You know it's gonna make people talk and stuff, bring people in and whatnot, so like you said.
Speaker 2But that's really when it's really just, mr jenkins, disguise, just disguise.
Speaker 1We've gone over this, guys. Guys, you just got to call the gang, let them investigate and then tell y'all. It's Mr Jenkins. With the silly mask, with the silly mask on and the fur coat on.
Speaker 2Whole animatronic suit For real, that's all it is. That's all it is, Willie. Yeah, I'd give it like a two, bro. Like I said, it's just.
Speaker 1I'm going to wake up tomorrow dead. Whole crime scene, bro who said wake up dead. Who said they go wake up dead? No, because if you wake up, if you don't wake up, then you die. Think about that.
Speaker 2But if you wake up and you're dead, you woke up dead, but you woke up dead, though you feel me. You feel me Because you can't wake up. Hold on you feel me there, you go. There it is.
Speaker 1I couldn't say it better myself y'all know, y'all know, but uh, yeah, but I, I'll give it, I'll just give it a cool cool one. Cool one cool one yeah, it's just.
Speaker 2It's not. It's not. I need more evidence I need more.
Speaker 1I need more stories.
Speaker 2I need more like actual cool story.
Speaker 1It's a cool story theory, cool folklore or whatever hey, but if you're telling me that, okay, we in the middle of the woods, right, and you tell me that story, I'm going to be a little freaked out. I don't, I don't, I'm going to be, I'm going to be shaking. I'm going to be shaking because they said it screams, but foxes scream, like foxes scream. Uh, mountain lion scream, uh, what else?
Speaker 2there's another animal that bobcats have a horrible scream um I mean and I, so that could make sense. It makes sense for that being like the awful blood curling screams that they hear or whatever, and these stories was like 1918, bro, motherfuckers.
Speaker 1Never seen shenan, they like ain't. Never seen shenan.
Speaker 2They like, bro, they, they pull it to the little small-ass town, they ain't never seen orange juice Wood Pope bro.
Speaker 1That was unheard of. That was unheard of If I took that shit to them.
Speaker 2They'd choke and die.
Speaker 1Do you eat this or do you drink this? Man, give me that shit back.
Speaker 2Drink this Sprite spray, blow his head off, start foaming out the mouth.
Speaker 1He ain't gonna blow like an airhead commercial bro Blow up, he's gonna go over there, but that's the real crime right there. Nah, but it ain't Like you said, but it's a good story. It's a good story for people in the small town. You know you need something, you need a little buzz around, you need something for the folk to talk around. You know that really brings the community together, because now the whole community is looking for this thing.
Speaker 2You know, that's how you build a community really. Right, that's how you build a community. When you can get them to get the torches, do a mad witch hunt for this wampus. That's when you know you have a good strong community.
Speaker 1They were out there. Bows and arrows and guns, bro. You ain't never seen that combo before, bro. Bows and arrows ain't guns. They had guns. They brought bow and arrows, though. It's crazy. It's crazy If that's not a community.
Speaker 2I don't want to be a part of it. If we're not doing our weekly witch hunts. Every Friday afternoon, as soon as we get off of work, everyone and we go out on this wild witch hunt and we don't do that together as a community, I'm leaving.
Speaker 1I'm leaving, bro, I'm packing my bag. If there's no pitchforks and there's a crazy lady in the corner, I'm selling my house below market value Damn Damn.
Speaker 2I'll do owner financing at an unbeatable rate.
Speaker 1We got a whole commercial. But yeah, for that reason I'm out.
Speaker 2You seem so desperate. Your final portfolio is not there. Your logistics doesn't lie. I add up with your how would you say, your sales. So for that reason I'm out.
Speaker 1Poor Wampus cat, but now he won't be able to feed his Wampus. Baby cats, kids, Wampus kids, if you will, that's right.
Speaker 2All right, but let's go ahead and get off of that subject, that weird, crazy stuff. Y'all let us know what y'all think, though. Do y'all believe in the W? Let us know if you have any cool, interesting facts about it. Oh wait, I did have some facts.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2Fun facts, fun facts, fun facts, fun facts. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Yayo, did you know that the Wampus Cat actually has a mascot status? So several Southern high schools use the Wampus Cat as their mascot, including one in Arkansas no, arkansas, Arkansas, however you say it. North Carolina and Texas, though their versions are often more comical or heroic.
Speaker 1OK, In fact did not know that reference.
Speaker 2Did you also know that there is a thing called Wampus Watchers? In some rural communities, local legends have inspired Wampus Watchers, groups of kids or adults who go out at night hoping to spot the creature.
Speaker 1That's pretty lit. That's pretty lit. Like I said, community together, that's some community stuff.
Speaker 2You just need the pitchforks, the fire, bow and arrow guns.
Speaker 1Let me tell you this I'm sorry, I don't mean to cut you off, but what happens if Israel just snatches a kid up?
Speaker 2Everybody take a picture and then go home. Don't call nobody. It's like every picture is taken, it's just like different faces he's making while going up. I'm moving directly over here. Oh man, one of the slideshows on.
Speaker 1Instagram. He's reaching for help he has to pose right, right, as soon as he's his last thing that's seen is his hand.
Speaker 2He's just like does the peace sign? No, no, no. You have a random one where they actually both pose side by side right yeah, yeah, yeah just a little, just add flair to it. Alright, but another fun fact was the Wampus sightings increased after tragedy. Some say the Wampus cat appears more often after a death in the community or in times of spiritual imbalance, like a harbinger of doom.
Speaker 1What we say community, it's that community thing bro.
Speaker 2It plays into the community. It plays into the community, it brings the community together. It in the community.
Speaker 1It brings community together. It causes the community to lose to somebody right.

But he ran and fell earlier and he lay there. His mama had to pick him up. So I went over there. He had a little basket Mama gave him, put like three little eggs in his bag, Talking about you be all right. So I went over there, juggled that shit, put it in my pocket, bro, when he wasn't looking. Bro, Till this day he still doesn't know that. It's all coming back to me. Nah.
Speaker 1Nah, I think it was my little sister. I want to say it was for the school she was going, Since my sister had been sick when she was little. She couldn't run or anything like that. I think we were going to help her. In a sense, we were supposed to be just helping her a little bit. She was still in elementary school, I don't know what grade, let's say like third grade, something like that. Right, I was probably already middle school, high school. So I went with her.
Speaker 1Then my other brothers went too, and it was just all little kids. And when they said you know, time to go, well, we about? We took over, Bro. We were taking everybody's little eggs, Bro. We were just throwing them at my sister. Get them, get them, bro. We were all the way over there getting them, picking them up in a bunch, throwing them to her One. Back out there there was a little girl. I remember there was a little girl about to get snatched. Real quick, Went back, gave it to my sister. Bro, she had a bunch of eggs that day, bro. I remember that. But I remember that. But it wasn't meant for us. It definitely was not meant for us. No, badass kids, we were some bullies on that point, All right.
Speaker 2So let us tell you what Easter is about. What is Easter? Easter is a major Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, as described in the New Testament of the Bible. It is considered the most important and oldest festival of the Christian church, even more significant than Christmas. The date of Easter changes each year because it's based on the lunar, lunar, lunar solar calendar. Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the vernal equinox, on or after the vernell equinox.
Speaker 1I think that's how you say uh, this means easter can fall anywhere between march 22 and april 25th. Okay, 22 and 23, okay, okay, um, I I just got a couple of of the uh different different stuff they do, okay, okay okay, so they be doing giant omelette. In some French towns A giant omelette is cut using thousands of eggs for Easter celebrations, so they just cook it up, just get to the town folk and whatnot. It's like a whole community type thing. Community here at Casa Co. We big on community.
Speaker 2I saw that, according to the Gospels, jesus was crucified on Good Friday and rose from the dead on the third day, which is Easter Sunday. Easter marks the end of the Holy Week, which includes Palm Sunday. It commemorates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Maundy Thursday markss the last supper. Good Friday remembers the crucifixion. Holy Saturday, the day Jesus Is believed to have rested in the tomb. Easter Sunday the resurrection and celebration of new life.
Speaker 1There's levels to it, then Cause there's also like Preparations before Easter.
Speaker 2You have Lent oh, that's part of Easter too. There's levels to it, then. Okay, because there's also like preparations before easter oh, okay, you have a lint oh, that's part of easter too.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, it all leads up to it ash wednesday, you have a lint. I can't remember everything, but lint is just like okay, lint begins on ash wednesday. Okay, so, 46 days before easter sunday, excluding sundays, it's a season of fasting, uh, penance, uh reflection and spiritual growth to honor the 40 days jesus spent fasting in the wilderness. Many christians give up something meaningful, like sweets, social media meat, alcohol, or add spiritual practices like prayer or volunteering okay, okay.
Speaker 1So that's what they be doing, okay.
Speaker 2That's what Lent is you give up something for 40 days, 40 nights. I tried giving up school. They said I couldn't do it, so I can't celebrate my religion then. All right, I tried, I tried. They said sit your dumb ass down boy. Yes, mother, oh man Silly Go.
Speaker 1Yes, mother. Oh man Silly, somebody get the belt off.
Speaker 2They said you should Give her that Xbox.
Speaker 1Don't you dare say something Blasphemous again, did you?
Speaker 2You sound like the devil, did you?
Speaker 1used to do that when you were little, yeah.
Speaker 2Let me tell you what.
Speaker 1Go ahead bro. My fault bro.
Speaker 2Some things I gave up for Lent. Master this a kid's channel? No, I'm just joking. I would never get that dry steak.
Speaker 1Who said they're not fanatic? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow your roll, slow your roll. I love Jesus, but I no, I'm just messing.
Speaker 2I gave up chips at one point.
Speaker 1Chips Ahoy, I loved chips. Wait one point. Oh yeah, one point.
Speaker 2Yeah, like countless times I've done that before.
Speaker 1Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 2I've given up chips before. I gave up hot sauce, hot sauce. I think Peep gave up hot sauce too. Pepe, that's crazy bro, that's deep. I think I gave up hot test at one point too, if I'm not mistaken. I can't remember too well Video games. Gave up video games, bro. That was tough, damn bro. I can't remember most of them, bro. That's all I remember, really, bro.
Speaker 1And that's the part for 40 days right.
Speaker 2So, 40. Damn bro. No video games for 40 days, right, mm-hmm? Damn bro. No video games for 40 days. No video games for 40 days. Cold turkey, bro. I was sweating bro, this is when you were little.
Speaker 1Or like older. No, this is when we moved out.
Speaker 2We were living together. Oh, for real, you gave it up, right?
Speaker 1there.
Speaker 2Yeah, I gave it up. You can ask my girlfriend nah, I believe you that was pretty tough, though, bro, cause I love playing video games.
Speaker 1I love wasting my life away.
Speaker 2I find so much joy in it bro, I remember again.
Speaker 1My memory is not, is not failing me. I remember I was kind of doing something like that too when I was with Shawty and but I can't remember what I was giving up alcohol, nah, I ain't that drastic, uh uh. I always don't remember what, what, but I don't think I followed through through the whole um people usually give up on it, bro I mean it's a sad thing to say, but some people use it.
Speaker 1I gave. I'm almost, I'm almost sure I gave up on it. I'm I'm almost certain that not probably even make it 20. Damn, didn't even make it 20. Damn, probably didn't even make it 20. But yeah, I don't remember exactly what it was, but I remember doing something similar at the time. At the time I didn't understand because I didn't have a cosmic code telling me what it was really. So at the time I didn't have an understanding of what it really meant and whatnot. But yeah, that was it though.
Speaker 2So this is called the Holy Week, the final week before Easter, so that would be this week. So you would have Palm Sunday, which is the Sunday that passed. So churches will give out like palm branches to commemorate Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem. Maundy Thursday, which would be tomorrow, some churches reenact the washing of the feet, represent humility and service, because jesus washed, uh oh I've seen that, I see, yeah, I've seen, and wait.
Speaker 1Uh, so do they wash your feet, or I think?
Speaker 2I think that's like what some churches do. I don't recall ever doing. I do have a thing that some people do. I don't recall our church ever doing something.
Speaker 1I do have a thing that some people do. I know people still did it that they, the church, will wash the feet of the people yeah, it's just to show that you're not above doing something like that.
Speaker 2Let's just like I'm better than doing something like that. Like Jesus himself showed an example of who he was by watching other people's feet, like you, you're never too big to do something like that, especially for like each other and stuff like that. Okay but then you got um good friday, which is like somber services, often candlelit, reflect on the crucifixion, crucifixion and some places people do reenactments of the Passion, the final hours of Jesus.
Speaker 1That's when they be doing the parades and stuff and they be whipping them, dudes bro.
Speaker 2I've seen a couple people get mad they be having the Roman dudes or whatever, whipping the fuck out the dude. I saw a dude got mad. He turned around Ya pinche cabrón, pinche cosa duele cabrón.
Speaker 1I'm like that's not jesus, that's jesus that's not jesus.
Speaker 2That's not jesus, that's jose I see that video bro.
Speaker 1I see that bro. That was getting into it bro.
Speaker 2I see it bro that dude was getting his shit wagged.
Speaker 1Bro, I said damn that woman's soldier in the back, bro. I'm about to have a little too much fun with it, bro. It was back in the day too, bro. You know he was a soldier back in the day, bro. I'm about to forget. I was enjoying that shit like it was.
Speaker 2This is what I live for then obviously you have holy saturday, where churches hold uh vigils or wait in silence until the joy of easter is announced yeah, that's, that's pretty cool I like it right.
Speaker 2It's actually a good, wonderful time, bro, in my opinion, yeah that's like good build up too. I like when they have like a main event and then they have preparations leading up to it. Well, like a mexican sorry no, no, I was gonna ask what would like a main event be like just like the easter, like you'd have like sunday church, uh, church service on sunday, okay, and then you would have like a big feast or something okay, you just have like family gathering.
Speaker 2Okay, that's what we do at least okay, and then it's just like that's just like christmas type shit. Oh okay, oh, okay but um, but I just like that though, like I said, like a main event, then you got stuff Building up to it, kind of like in Mexico, when the ranchos and stuff have their festivals. Sometimes people have Like three day or week festivals For their ranchos and stuff, like that I was going to say Do they have festivals over here?
Speaker 1Or like Do they be doing? Oh, you don't know.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, some places Like the cities.
Speaker 1They be doing their uh okay.
Speaker 2I see that I just didn't know.
Speaker 1Don't be doing that thing with the cross, though right. Will they be walking with the cross or do that Some?
Global Easter Celebrations
Speaker 2places do, some places do I think some places do.
Speaker 1Okay, okay.
Speaker 2But, um, I don't know, I thought it was pretty cool stuff right there.
Speaker 1No, yeah, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 2All right. So let me tell you some global Easter traditions.
Speaker 1All right All right.
Speaker 2So in the United States and Canada we have the Easter bunny. The Easter bunny is a symbol of fertility and new life. The bunny hides eggs for children to find. Then you do like egg decorating using dyes, paint or stickers on hard boiled eggs. They have the white house Easter egg roll, a traditional event on the white house lawn, and Mexico and Latin Americaica huge religious uh processions, especially in uh spain and antigua, which is like guatemala, uh passion plays, reenacting the crucifixion. Uh, you'd make uh cascarones.
Speaker 2That's when they like fill up the egg with like confetti oh, just smashing on people's heads. Oh, for real yeah, I hate that shit, bro. Like an actual egg or like uh-huh, it's like you crack it over people's heads for good luck, but it's still got egg in it no, no, no okay they take the yolk out but they fill it up with confetti. Is that thing you want? What they got?
Speaker 1huh, is that thing that one more got? I don't know, you get like an actual egg, uh-huh. But Walmart beat oh wait, do they? Yeah, they were Because people were mad. So, oh, okay, okay, so it makes sense, okay. So, walmart, like they had those eggs on like main display, like as soon as you enter, they had those for like one on the end, and so people were getting mad because they were thinking they were picking up like egg, eggs and there's the eggs with confetti in them. So that's what they were like like Walmart, you know what you were doing with this because, like people were buying it, because you know how the price is so high right now, they were buying it, thinking they were getting a deal off some eggs and then they were just getting confetti, eggs.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's all it is, bro. Okay, okay, I hate that shit so much.
Speaker 1And you say it's just to bring good luck, okay.
Speaker 2In Italy they do the Scopio del Caro, caro, Caro. Explosion of the cart. In Florence, a cart filled with fireworks is ignited for a grand display ensuring a good harvest. Traditional food is a colomba di pasqua, a dough-shaped sweet bread. In Greece they have Orthodox Easter Often falls on a different date. People dye eggs red to represent the blood of Christ. Midnight church service ends with the priest declaring Christos anesti, christ is risen. And then, obviously, you got like Germany, christ is risen. And then obviously you got like, uh, germany, they do like, uh, they do like easter trees, so they have like hanging eggs, they do bonfires, uh, the philippines, they combine. They combine catholic fate with native customs. Um, australia, the easter bun is replaced in some areas with the easter bilby, a native marsupial to raise awareness of endangered species.
Speaker 2And then, uh, they eat hot crust bun, hot cross that they eat in france the church bells go silent from good friday until easter sunday to mourn jesus's death. On easter morning they reign joyously to declare Jesus, I mean, christ is risen. But yeah, what you got.
Closing Thoughts and Thanks
Speaker 1Brian. Okay, so Swedish, swedish, they got uh, swedish Easter tree. Some Scandinavian, scandinavian countries decorate trees with painted eggs and other decorations and the Bermuda Bermuda decorations and the Bermuda kite flying. In Bermuda, kite flying is a popular tradition where people fly homemade kites. On Good Friday In the UK, two people tap hardball eggs together to see whose eggs break first. Some churches still practice the symbolic washing of the feet, something that Jesus was said to have done for his disciples during Passover. The tradition has died down over the years, but there are churches where this is still an important part of the Holy Days leading up to the celebration of Jesus' resurrection, and they reenact this poignant movement during the Holy Thursday service. Some places, like South Africa, there's an additional holiday that follows the Sunday celebrations, known as Easter Monday. This Monday after Easter got its official recognition in the 1990s, when the government decided to grant citizens an additional day off with their friends and family so that they could have some extra time to recover from all the fun they had during the weekend Ahead of the Holy Week.
Speaker 1In Southern Guatemala's Antigua the town oh, you already said that one Long carpets are made from flowers, colored sawdust, fruits, vegetables and sand. Each carpet is often covered in scenes that are important to the artists who make them, ranging from religion to modern tradition, to Guatem modern history. Some of these pieces can stretch as long as half a mile, and artists use stencils to assemble them quickly, since they have just 24 hours to create their works of art. The day before the Girl Friday procession In Florence, italy, locals celebrate the 350-year-old Eastern tradition known as Scopio de oh.
Speaker 1You said that one too right, scopio de Caro. Yeah. Tradition known as Scorpio de oh. You said that one too right, scorpio de carro. Yeah, mm-hmm. And they hold a great Easter bunny hunt in Alexandria, a town in the central Otago district, to hunt their floppy ear foes. This tradition has a specific reason behind it, though. The goal is to cut down the rabbit population, which has introduced species and negative effects to the biodiversity. Goal is to cut down the rabbit population, which is introduced species and negative effects the biodiversity of the environment. Rabbits are considered pests and plague forms in the region. So that's all the ones I'll have of the different, uh we have some similar ones of the um like just traditions and stuff.
Speaker 2Traditions, other countries and stuff, dude, yeah, they have like countless things. But I think it's pretty cool when different countries and stuff celebrate the same holiday.
Speaker 1Yeah, I like that. Same same, but different.
Speaker 2Type while you're here. All right, little fun facts about Easter. 70% of Easter candy purchased is chocolate.
Speaker 1Makes sense.
Speaker 2Cadbury made the first chocolate Easter egg in 1875. Oh okay For Cadbury. How do we say it? Americans consume over 16 million jelly beans on easter. Damn, I know. The largest easter egg ever made was over 25 feet tall, weighing over 8 000 pounds. 8 000 pounds of chocolate. The the idea of the Easter Bunny came to America from German immigrants in the 1700s.
Speaker 1Here's a good one. Oh, go ahead. No, no, no.
Speaker 2Peeps. Those colorful marshmallow treats are the most popular non-chocolate Easter candy in the US. You like those, don't you? Let's fucking go, peeps, let's get it.
