    Hey Chris, Chris Dickenson from Oklahoma here. Im being released from the hospital tomorrow after almost dying a week ago. Heart failure and blood clots. With God's grace and your videos, it got me through. I absolutely love the way you take us along with you and the way you tell the stories. I was a so called Bigfoot "researcher" and had a successful UA-cam channel called "Sooner Sasquatch". Had a blast doing it. And they are out there, I've seen them. Anyway, just wanted to let you know how much you lifted my spirits and helped me get through this. Keep up the good work and God Bless you Chris!

    I looked up Wendigo and it said it's a supernatural mythological being told by the Algonquin Indians in the Plains and Great Lakes areas, which is where I live. Never heard of it before. The picture showed a slim being standing upright and had deer antlers, like you described. As the story goes, the first ever Wendigo was a lost hunter whose need for food drove him to cannibalism, eating hunters that he could find. Those guys in the cabin had a chilling experience.The sound effects always make it real. Great story, Chris!

    Wendigos are from the Algonquin native legends. It's a corporeal spirit animal that looks just as it was described in this story, has super human strength, super human agility, but worst of all... IT HAS AN INSATIABLE HUNGER FOR HUMAN FLESH. They are also said to be able to mimic the sounds of any person or animal. Other versions of the Wendigo are explained as a roaming demonic spirit that can inhabit or possess certain people, particularly in times of isolation and starvation, that turns them into bloodthirsty cannibals. This version of the Wendigo is called Wendigo-Psychosis. Look up the story of the native american named Swift Runner who murdered and cannibalized his whole family in Alberta.

    Incredible story as always, Chris. I think this might rank in my favorites.
    There is a lot of folklore out there about the Wendigo. It is a creature of Algonquin (a Native American nation) legend. The most uncomplicated description is that they are creatures that possess people in the cold north and make them hunger for human flesh. However, the way the Algonquin describe the Wendigo does not include antlers. Someone should delve into Native legends to find out what that creature is.
    If you want to learn more about the legend of the Wendigo, I'd recommend Hammerson Peters UA-cam channel. He's a Canadian folklorist who delved deep into that legend and other Indian legends. His stuff on the Wendigo is terrifying and the descriptions are gory. Take care while listening/watching.

    As soon as you described it, I knew it was a Wendigo - I actually didn't see the title of this video because I clicked on "play all" your channel page to play while I am doing some re-organization in my Crafty-Music Lounge. Always get a medal door - they can break thru wooden ones. They will tear you apart and eat you. It's difficult to kill them. Different stories have different ways: stabbing them over and over again, sledgehammer it to death, shoot it to death using several firearms at the same time going through several cartridges, and using silver bullets or knife - yes, the last one no joking. You have to figure out how to do this before it kills or disables you, which is really difficult. Of course, this is all that I've heard on similar videos with no real way to vet what's been said since I am not sure if they're even real. But just in case, you all know what to try. The best thing to do is escape via vehicle as fast you can.

It was heavily forested and extremely steep. I did not think of it until I got back down but it was spooky up there. Lots of mountain lions in the Big Horns.

    That death whistle is very close to what the sasquatch scream sounds like except the lung capacity is greater than anything you can ever imagine. The whistle as you blew it sounds more like a jaguar scream. What Jack saw was not a sasquatch. It was some other type of demon. Best to recite the Lord’s prayer in those kinds of encounters. Shooting it wouldn’t have worked. Edit: I spent a week at Windigo Pass near Lemolo Lake in Oregon this summer. One night when I got up to empty my bladder something growled at me. I grabbed my camera and started recording. I didn’t catch any animals on the video. Just a weird three-headed stump, lol.

      Oh brother. The expert folklorist over here. I guess in biblical folklore that would be true. But when a real life creature is standing in front of you, mumbling a bunch of words with your eyes closed is as affective as an ostrich burying it’s head in the sand when it gets scared because it believes if it can’t see it, it can’t hurt it. I would take my chances with a 45-70 or a .500. Pretty sure even a grizzly ain’t getting back up after 1-2 in em. Just because you’ve never seen something and it is big and scary to you, doesn’t mean it’s a demon 😂.

    I live in NH and have hiked and camped all over the state( almost 60 now) I've never seen anything scary like that.. never even heard of an encounter like that before. I only had one odd encounter back around 83-84. We drove into the mountains and turned onto a fire road, a rough dirt road leading deep into the woods. We would drive as far in as we could then hike some and set up camp. Mid day on Sunday we were breaking camp and heading for the car. Just as we were at the car ..there was another fire road cut perpendicular and we saw 2 native Americans sitting on horses far away. They saw us and started riding fast towards us.were about 2 football fields away.... we
    jumped in the car and started going fast as we could but the road was so bumpy we could only go so fast.they were gaining fast when we saw an arrow go past the car. We were yelling go faster but the road was tossing us around.. just as were were getting to the paved road and out tires chirped and we started to take off one of the Indians threw a paper bag through the passenger side window and we pulled away from him and the other. We never went back to that spot. I wondered if we went on some burial ground or sacred land.. they were mad for some reason.
