<description>&lt;p&gt;CRYPTID: The Wendigo Re-Visited&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join Josh as he revisits one of the most haunting and misunderstood cryptids in North American folklore. From Indigenous legends and early written accounts to chilling real world cases and modern encounters, this episode explores the Wendigo as both a monster of myth and a reflection of very real human fear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We examine the original purpose of the legend, the Swift Runner case, Wendigo psychosis, and unsettling sightings that blur the line between folklore and reality. Is the Wendigo simply a warning meant to protect communities from isolation, hunger, and desperation, or is there something darker still lurking in the forests of the north?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Follow us on Instagram @outtherecryptids and support the show on Patreon @outtherecryptids.&lt;/p&gt;
