As the thought of desire for human flesh possesses a person, their heart becomes ice and they turn Wendigo. They forget that people are people and not just animals to be consumed, and they become a danger to all who pass them by. bit.ly/EMPatreon

[@hab0272]

The Wendigo-myth seems a very clever cultural device. When killing a human is considered taboo it can be useful for the culture to have killers/cannibals lose their human status somehow by labeling them wendigos instead. This justifies killing them. Cannibalism is discouraged heavily through this myth because losing your status as a fellow human cuts the connection with the tribe that one may need to survive and also one is likely to face the vengeance of the tribe, inspired by role models such as Anwe. The very thought of turning into a mindless wendigo could be perceived as some sort of death to begin with, besides the wendigo also feels eternal hunger. This suggestion makes resorting to cannibalism a very unattractive thing to do. I think the wendigo-myth helps to protect the culture. It seem to prevent it from descending into cannibalistic savagery, provides a selfless hero to inspire, and provides a nice story to pass on by the campfire for generations to come.

[@drivemecloser]

It isn't just a matter of reinforcing the taboo. There are numerous accounts regarding people put into positions where they were forced to resort to cannibalism. You frequently have it where the experience breaks them. People developing a taste and justifying murder to sate an insatiable appetite. Drawing lines to make outsiders of some, simply because the outsider is more easily dispatched and consumed. People being rescued at sea only to ferociously guard the bone pile of those they've cannibalized, frantically sucking at or stashing the bones for the fear of the last bits of marrow being stolen from them. The psychological angle of the wendigo myth is very real.

[@FreshestSoup]

the unsettling thing about the Wendigo is, it shows that in the harsh seasons of North America the threat of cannibalism was more than just an occasional occurance. It must have happened often enough to justify a myth that is well known throughout numerous native american tribes.

[@kimcuongvuxuan7413]

2 days ago, I actually had a dream that Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej (the two guys from Buzzfeed Unsolved) was featured in this video (and channel), instead of telling the myth, they told about a woman getting attacked by a Wendigo near a cabin. And at the end, Ryan asked,"So, are you scared ?". I was confused and shocked, why would Ryan say this in a different channel.

[@silvertheelf]

Fun facts about the wendigo: The original was not a physical organism and actually drained the life force of the people the corrupted which to keep their life force they had to eat a lot which was why they were always thin and gaunt looking. The second interpretation of a wendigo was just a person with pale skin, they eventually had claws, sharp teeth The third interpretation had deer skulls for heads which the deer skull interpretation was a misinterpretation of the kee wakw, a creature that is basically the wendigo but with the ability to change size and it’s appearance is more that of a deer. Definitely one of my favorite mythological spirits and this story was based on the first interpretation. The one invented by the original natives.

Stats: speed-25-30 mph/ incredible strength and agility Recommended Power: military force if killed by normal means, it's spirit overrides your body and makes you eat a chunk of its flesh. thus it turns you, and its terror lives on. destroying enough of its body means there is not enough to hijack you and make you eat its corpse. Head is control center, like brain, but mutilation (eg., cutting its neck or spine) is ineffective. explosions mean theres not enough to regen. the limb in time/ usually takes a year or so. normal amputation regens in about 2 months. just some lore for the people who care!

Great video! I grew up hearing Wendigo stories in northern Canada and my understanding is that giving into hunger during a famine and practicing canabilism corrupts a person and they can never be free of evil, even when the famine is over; and will continue to become more evil with time. If not killed they will get more and more powerful as their hunger grows, while becoming less and less human. We were warned as kids that the most powerful ones were shape shifters and would use tricks to lure or frighten children into running off alone into the forest. They could be recognized by their red eyes in any form apparently.

[@JamesZaraza-wv3gt]

If meat eaters can become vegan, I will have to go ahead and throw the B.S. flag on the field. Did you ever consider that vigilantes are just individuals that want to kill people and are looking for a wink and a nod from society so they can follow their dreams?

I mean, seemingly glowing red eyes are infamously caused by a tapedum lucidum, often found in nocturnal predators. So... it's not entirely outlandish...

It would be good to have more Anwe stories to get a better idea of what he's like. Anwe had to dodge a lunge from one of the wendigos, and got scratched; Beowulf on the other hand wouldn't even need to dodge, he could literally tank the wendigo's attack no problem.

I'm curious about something. Do they crave human flesh because they turned Wendigo or do they turn Wendigo because they crave human flesh?

[@jamesharrison658]

probably because they've developed a taste for it, so I think it's the act of eating human flesh out of desperation that turns you wendigo. kinda like how fafnir being greedy turned him into a dragon.

[@morssinistram5169]

i thought they turned into a wendigo after they eaten human flesh as a last resort and they were cursed to never be satisfied and consume more and more until their body wastes away to what a wendigo looks like now. I also dont think they turned into wendigo because they crave human flesh they had to eat as a last resort if there was no other food left to eat.

Yes! Stories are invaluable to researchers of all kinds. Here in Australia, there are many stories of giant beasts, which probably stem from the megafauna that lived here tens of thousands of years ago! I think it's important to seek stories out regardless of your profession though, as they often impart lessons one needs to know. I think the wendigo's lessons (bad people often seem fine, morality must be constantly upheld, one bad choice can ruin things for everybody, some people are just beyond saving) are particularly relevant today, where it's easier to distance yourself from your actions than ever.
