winter storm folklore series. I'm Carmen. The wind ago. And if you're still weathering this storm like I am, you're in for some truly chilling

tales today.

Yesterday we explored the monsters of snow and ice, and

today we're diving into something much darker.

The folklore of winter survival horror.

When winter turns deadly, when food runs out, he no longer had memories of the days when the cold bit into his

flesh and caused pain.

A pain that he now had turned into pleasure.

A creature born from the ultimate taboo of the windigo.

The fear that he once had of a great beast was rotting flesh seeking to devour him

who refuses to let death stop their hunt for justice.

And the predatory colloquium, and each year, when the chill of winter crept back into the forest,

waiting to drag the unwary into the close cave to hunt, to appeaseers.

Their warnings wrapped in supernatural terror,

stories that remind us, winter doesn't just bring cold.

nature's fury.

The podcast where we discover the horrifying legends across the world and tell terrifying tales of monsters

but you're really cravings and modern.
