Wendigo Part 2

Grab a beer tonight as we wrap up our series on the Wendigo! First up: Swift Runner, the six-foot-three Cree trapper who led his wife, six kids, and elderly mother-in-law into the bush for the winter of 1879 and walked out alone. We’re talking starvation nightmares, marrow-boiled bones, and that gallows scene where he sang a Cree death song, cracked a joke about “Swift Runner’s stew,” and kicked the trapdoor himself. Then we jump over to Sucker Lake for Jack Fiddler, the legendary shaman, fourteen-time Wendigo slayer, and the guy locals begged to “fix” possessed relatives before they went full cannibal. You’ll hear how two mercy killings put him on a collision course with the Mounties, why he ended up cooking rabbit for his captors while still in leg irons, and how he slipped those irons, walked into the spruce, and hanged himself with the same snare line he’d used on suspected Wendigos. We wrap with the culture clash that followed. Missionaries, headline-hungry reporters, and a jury stuck between Cree tradition and Canadian law, and why modern psychiatry finally kicked “Wendigo psychosis” out of the textbooks. https://www.necronomipod.com https://www.patreon.com/necronomipod Sponsored by BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com/necro Learn more about your ad choices.
