Hello everybody, I don't know if the name of Wendigo say something to someone.
But I do some research and this is always the same thing. If I come here to talk
about Wendigo, to know if someone thinks that he seen a real Wendigo or
something like that.
-------------------------------------------
Let me explain what is a Wendigo canadien;
Native American versions of the creature spoke of a giant Spirit, over fifteen
feet tall. The Wendigo is usually described to have glowing eyes, large yellow
fangs and long tongues. Some Wendigos are said to be covered from head to toe
with hair and has a yellowish skin. One story says the creature can only be seen
head-on, because it is too thin to be seen from the side. Wendigo has a very
large appetite for human flesh.
They describe it rather generically as a werewolf, devil, or cannibal. The
Wendigo was usually presumed to have once been human. Different origins of the
Wendigo are described in variations of the myth. A hunter may become the Wendigo
when encountering it in the forest at night, or when becoming possessed by its
spirit in a dream. When the cannibalistic element of the myth is stressed, it is
assumed that anyone who eats corpses in a famine becomes a Wendigo as a
result.
Perhaps this myth was used as a deterrent and cautionary tale among northern
tribes whose winters were long and bitter and whose hunting parties often were
trapped in storms with no recourse but to consume members of their own party. It
could be indicative of starvation that the Wendigo is said to consume moss and
other unpalatable food when human flesh is unavailable. Its physical deformities
are suggestive of starvation and frostbite, so the Wendigo may be a myth based
on a personification of the hardships of winter and the taboo of
cannibalism.
In some stories a Wendigo will follow a lone wanderer for a long time. When the
prey becomes suspicious and turns around the Wendigo always manages to get out
of sight by hiding behind a tree. After a while the followed person starts to
become hysterical and runs until he makes an error. The Wendigo then strikes. If
someone actually survives a Wendigo attack they get the Wendigo-fever: after a
night of nightmares and pain in their legs--indeed, the Wendigo itself often has
no feet--Wendigo-fevered people strip themselves naked and run into the forest
screaming.

I don't know if that really exist, but I think then my sis seen that creature, I
explain. I live in Canada, Quebec, we live in that time in the north of Quebec,
a little village in the forest. That was winter, in this time we are live to 5
minutes of my grand-mother house, and my sis was here. But when she comeback to
home, she always feel like someone observe her, but she was only think about
wolfe or bear. She never thing about a weird creature, that was the night, maybe
3:00 am or 2:00 am. She walk quicken, because she have a weird feeling. She
don't know why but she look to see if a car was in the interception, she never
seen a car, but this weird THING. She say that it's was really high, that's was
white, the skin was like latex, it's have a big red eyes and I really big mouth,
too big, that thing smiling to her, like a devil, she always see this big mouth
with big thoot like a shark, she say that it's mouth was so big then it's can
eat her head with one bite. For her the time was stopped, she was face to face
with this monster. But that thing have a weird position, like if it's run and
just stopped to scare her. When he dissapered, she was scared , but she never
run to the home, she walk quicken to the home.
I don't know if she only imagine that, but if she imagine, she surely seen a
wolfe, because she just think about this creature, not to a monster like that,
in this time I never know what was a Wendigo, she say me this story the last
day, in that time she haved 17 years old, now she have 19 years old.
But what she seen are really similar to a Wendigo, I don't know if that really
exist, I hope not, but many think in this world doesn't have answer. If
something like that was a happen to you, she say me here. I'm really interesting
in this things, jsut tell me, thank. But if you don't believe in that, just
don't tell me, you can believe me or not.
[I just hope that was okay for this forum. I don't really know where I can make
this post.]
Very interesting story, unfortunately I don't know anything about Wendigo.
However it would appear that she most likely saw a wolf. Poor visibility at
night plus common fear of walking alone at night can easily distort what she
actually saw. The physical and behavioral description of the creature really
sound like it was a Canadian white wolf.
Yeah but in that place we doesn't have white wolf, wolf yeah, but not white, and
why did was on is two foot? A wolf will never be so high... And this monster or
this thing that she saw, don't be like a wolf, that was similar to a human, but
very more ugly with red eyes and big mouth, and that thing doesn't have fur. So
I don't think that she saw a canadien white wolf,in this time we living in
forest, but not in the very cold place, anyway thanx for you comments and you
idea^^ very interesting hehe
i think they had a wendigo on supernatural [the tv show] once. i believe it came
about because it eats human flesh and then gets super powers because of it.
seems a shame that that's the only way i know of something like this.
