Episode 7: You are Not You when you are hungry: The Wendigo
Get ready, Dirtlings.
Follow Ellsworth and Big Spoon as we dive even further into the Dirt Star to learn about the lore of Wendigos, the shaman Jack Fiddler who tried to save his people from these evil forest dwelling spirits and hear the tragic and true story of Swift Runner; a man claiming to be possessed by a Wendigo that ultimately drove him to madness.
We also take a detour back up to Side-Bar Summit to discuss cannibalism, the perfect recipe to compel someone to eat their loved ones, a phantom smell in our local bookstore basement and some oddball voyeur that loves to attend public executions.
