Summary

Ever felt hangry? Like, really, really hangry? So hangry that you might just turn into a supernatural, flesh-craving monster? Well, you’re in luck because this week, we’re diving headfirst into the legend of the Wendigo—a creature that takes "snacking" to a terrifying new level. From its origins in Algonquian folklore to modern-day sightings (and possibly a Wendigo diet plan we can’t endorse), we’re breaking down what makes this beast so chilling. Is it a warning about greed and gluttony? A cautionary tale for winter survivalists? Or just an ancient way of saying, "Dude, don’t eat your friends"? We’ll cover all that and more, including some very questionable Wendigo-related crimes, and why you probably don’t want to go camping in Canada anytime soon. Al that and more this week on Hysteria 51!
