Hello everyone! Welcome back to our channel. Today, we are going to examine some urban legends and introduce you to one prominent cannibalistic figure: the Wendigo. These stories have been around for centuries and describe a monster that haunts the northern woods with an incurable hunger for human flesh. Originating from Algonquian folklore, at a time when survival relied on people coming together and sharing resources during harsh winters, it is believed that the Wendigo is a personification of both cold and hunger. Some people believe that these legends came up as a cautionary tale about the need for communities to protect against isolation, selfishness, and personal greed. Sit back and enjoy as we explore the Real Story of The Wendigo: Mythology’s Cannibal Spirit.

I like the story of the wendigo as a monstrous deer creature
The Wendigo is still inside each and every one of us. Its only a matter of time until he gets out.
I was raised in Minnesota where the wendigo originated from and something I heard a few people say is "The farther up north you go the more you'll start to hear wendigos"
Just so you know actual wendigo from native legends do not have antlers. That’s was added by colonizers. Source – I’m native
Many thanks Marvellous video's! You should check out an awsome wendigo movie called Antlers.
One even battled the hulk
Let's find it.
Loveland Frogman.
Moder (The Ritual) is NOT a wendigo
All you have to do is find out research of people that survived by cannibalism and what are the benefits it's pretty terrifying..
Supernatural (TV show) wendigo?? 11:50, yay!!
I remember hearing the story of the Wendigo when I was a kid. I couldn't sleep that night
The bigfoot Wendigo is actually based on the Genoskwa. A giant Sasquatch that was known to use humans as prey. Another name for them were Stonish Giants. They would roll in mud and stone. When that dried, it would make a sort of armor. That would make them invulnerable to arrows from native bows.

The "real" story of the wendigo is that its an allegory created by a group of people who did not partake in cannibalism (Algonquin) to demonize and condemn a people who did.
It makes much more sense when you realize they were being killed and eaten so its pretty understandable how they would consider them "demons/evil spirits" because thats exactly what they would've seemed like.
Moder is not a wendigo it's a demigod and the offspring of Loki of the Norse pantheon of gods
The first scene from what movie ?
Would not be surprised if it was "Dungeons & Dragons" that popularized the deer Wendigo.
next video: zombies or vampires (please?)
Menominee native, that's our boys. They eat foreigners first.
Just to be that guy… the creature in The Ritual wasn’t a Wendigo. I believe it was referred to as a Jotun. Either way, the movie doesn’t take place in North America. Therefore not a Wendigo
