The Wendigo | Part One of Two
In the bleak, bitter winters of the East Coast of Canada and the Great Plains and Lakes of America, something waits in the forest. Is that a cry from a tortured animal you hear? This is no animal you recognise, as you strain your ears against the unforgiving, ice cold wind that whips through the trees. The cry becomes a shriek and it's getting louder, a cacophony of noise as your blood begins to curdle in your veins. Your heart skips a beat and then doubles in pace as you realise you are not alone in the forest, something is watching, stalking. With an insatiable hunger for human flesh, the Wendigo, Windigo Windigo, Witigo, Witiko, and Wee-Tee-Go (roughly translating as evil spirt of mankind) has been spoken of by the indigenous people for centuries.

The Bell Witch - A True Encounter
Have you heard about the greatest ghost story in American history? For 200 hundred years the Bell Family of Tennessee was tortured by an evil entity claiming to be the spirit of a dead woman, but also a witch, and the ghost of a native boy who's grave had been disturbed, but the terrifying visitors' most dire proclamation was that it planned to kill the family's husband and father, John Bell, which it eventually did. The record of the killing can still be found in the courthouse records in the town of Adams, Tennessee to this very day.
