Wendigos, werewolves, vampires, ghouls, jiangshi, zombies, skinwalkers... has anyone else noticed how many mythological monsters worldwide started out as humans?
Cuz humans are the monsters, the ancient people trying to make sense of what they just witnessed as one human ripped apart another then started eating them
Indeed Cant Forget Lycans Which is basically a humanoid Werewolf All Of This Stems From The Unknown within our minds Think About The Potential Humans actually Have The Subconscious Mind Is Where our animal instincts and Many other abilities are At you never know What you can do or accomplish Belief Is Power Belief is strength We Are What We Believe We Are Is somewhat true
They predate humans. These demons are among us. Let lines and monumental pylons of both nature and man's toil have held them back. Track history and human migration/expansion coincides with the sprit defenses built to protect our ancestors and us to this day.
yeah there's plenty of human creatures but bruh, Japanese folflore/creatures are fckn wild there's too many to list but heres a few random ones AmikiriA bird-headed, crustacean-armed, snake-bodied spirit that cuts fishing nets and mosquito netting. Boroboroton A possessed futon that comes to life at night and tries to kill the person sleeping on it by throwing them out of bed and then wrapping around their head and neck with the intent to smother and strangle. Jubokko A vampiric tree that grows on old battlefields and ensnares those who come too close to it in order to drain their blood with sharp, hollow branches. Ōgama A giant toad which breathes rainbow-like smoke and wields a giant spear against whoever attacks it. Uma-no-ashi A tree with hidden horse's legs that kick passersby before withdrawing into the leaves to hide.
I live in the middle of what was Algonquian lands (Michigan) and grew up with these myths and stories because the Native People are still here and they're memories and history deeply honored. Sure the dark and shadows can hide dangers but when it snows and the night is bright and the moon black, its so much more terrifying to hear the crunch of snow from a footstep not your own or a distorted howl in the distance. They come with snow and bitter cold that changed them, flitting across the land like wraiths ever-hungry. No defense other than to never go out at night and keep the fire warm and large. Its honestly why im happy its usually deer running across a field towards the road when driving at night in winter but i never look to hard unless its not. Never know whats just behind those trees or peaking behind a barn or trench along a long empty country road.
I live in Ohio, we don't hear those legends often over here, but as rule of thumb I don't leave my house unless I need to, it's cold enough here to where I probably still have to worry about em.
Oooff, just reading the words "to hear the crunch of snow from a footstep not your own" just sent a shiver down my spine. Please write a creepypasta or horror story, I would devour it!
Michigan buddies *fistbump* as a person of some Native American lineage, I can confirm this is very true. it's genuinely terrifying, especially driving through woods at dusk or after dark.
This is masterfully done and incredibly haunting. It gives me strong "Pet Sematary" vibes, though the music suits a wide range of horror. It's definitely going on my playlist of background ambiance for prolonged writing sessions!
I am an author working on a book called "Betrayed", and your ambience is perfect for writing to! I love "Curse of the Shadowland", "Hall of the Dead King", and "Lillith - Ancient Demoness" as my top 3, but after listening to this, this is definitely making top of the list as well! In the book, there is a powerful and horrifying eldritch deity called the "Shadow Devil" who was partially based off a wendigo! Thank you for the incredible soundtracks and please don't ever stop making more!!! ❤

The Wendigo, Kraken and Werewolf, are in my humble opinion .The absolute KINGS of the world of Monsters. there are definatly still a TON of other REALLY good ones though.
So I live right next to a forest that I often go on hikes through during the day time and it is idyllic and inviting during the sunshine hours, filled with bird-song and the sounds of rustling undergrowth caused by wind or small critters but can be incredibly unnerving at night (obviously). Currently it is 1:30 in the morn and I had my headphones on and decided I wanted a cigarette so made my way outside. I made my way out into the middle of my yard away from the comfort of my living room lights and was just gazing into the tree line, imagining something unseen looking back and immersing myself in the atmosphere. I turned around briefly in the direction of my house then heard the sound of footsteps and an intensely low, menacing growl. I turned around suddenly half-expecting to see some deformed creature reaching out to steal me into the darkness, my heart almost literally in my throat. I felt very stupid as I was aware I had headphones on the entire time and knew it was coming, didn't help one damn bit! Suffice to say I finished the cigarette early, shuddered in existential dread then very quickly made my way inside and turned on every light...perfect soundtrack if it can elicit the feeling of dread. 10/10 but not doing that again!
I JUST hit that section right as I was reading your comment. I was like, "What are they talking abo...what was that?!" Snow crunches, something makes a low, awful noise...oh, I see! Let me go hide under my blanket now...
i listen to this whenever i have to walk through the woods in the dark to get back to my house and i always pretend i'm the protagonist of a fantasy horror game. it makes it so much more fun
*Wisco to, 2005, my buddys daughter returns from the woods edge at a field line, where she stated she sighted a Deer with " sort- of evil looking fangs ", she was in mild disbelief of this as she and her family had never heard of any anomaly or such a thing, she was a young girl the n, ivr asked her about it again when our families get together, and she remains clear on her memory. As for me, i make my life in the wilds, plenty stories, only one neighbor gir 1ile around surrounded by millions of acres of treed National Forest, Grand Canyon outer lands...serious chit abound these lands, i have experienced. Love the channel.
Hey, what she probably saw is know as a Water Deer. Also known as a vampire deer because of its fangs - yes, fangs - water deer are native to Korea and China, but have spread, after first being imported to Great Britain in the 1870s, France, Argentina, England and parts of the United States. From a distance, they look a lot like regular deer. It could also be a Musk deer, hope this helps!
Close to same area! Spent some time at Bryce Nat Park a couple yrs ago. Also into Co rockies. To many people there now. Even went in Oct and was way overcrowded. Used to hike back into the deep interior 3 or so days but cant even do that anymore! Still, its beautiful to see.
I live in Scotland and a few years ago me and some friends decided to go to a mountain bothy (hillwalking shelter, basically an old crofters cottage) for one of the guys birthday weekend. The bothy is located on the shore of a sea loch (Loch Long) and we did a spot of fishing and just chilling out, i don't drink or smoke but the rest of the lad's enjoyed that sort of thing but i wanted to be alert incase something happened to one of us. Loch Long is located in Argyll and Bute which is a massive county that boasts beautiful scenery and has stunning mountains and it's also part of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs Park, it's truly stunning. The first night went great, no issues and none of the other lad's fell into the Loch or went missing i stayed awake and made sure that everyone was safely inside the bothy and i was sitting outside by the fire talking to a few hillwalkers who were also staying in the bothy. The next day we all got ourselves together for another day before going home the following day, across the Loch is a oil offloading facility and oil tankers come in, off load their cargo and it's then pumped over to the refinery in the east coast of Scotland so there's a constant humming noise of pumps running and probably electrical equipment running at high voltage. In the afternoon me and one of the hungover guys decided to walk up the side of the mountain back to the car which was a good 4 or 5 miles away parked up, there's a gravel road to the bothy but only the park rangers and emergency service vehicles are permitted to use it but at least there's a decent footing to the car. The other guy said "why don't we take a shortcut through the woods and hopefully get to the car quicker?" I was very hesitant about the idea but eventually decided to go for it but a good 30 minutes into this ridiculous idea and after walking through marsh and deer dung plus the bloody midges bitting my body I'd had enough and told the other guy that I'm heading back to the bothy, so he angrily marched away trying to keep going. I was soon lost in the very dense forest and thought if i make my way back down to the shore and follow the shoreline in the opposite direction I'd get to the bothy easily. So now I'm on my own trying to get back through all of the horrible stuff I'd went through but i was getting disoriented and thought well i can hear the people out on their boats with their engines running, i can hear the oil depo,the birds the water hitting the rocks, the problem was i knew i was going downwards and everything i could hear was disappearing like i was heading further away and at the same time i felt a very strange presence which very quickly turned to absolute fear, i very quickly became petrified my heart was pounding and i was breathing quickly but i kept walking down and the sound of my feet crunching the dead sticks disappeared, I truly felt like i was in the presence of a witch or something similar it's the most profound thing ever to have experienced, i swear it felt like something pure dark was watching me from behind one of the trees and i knew it was following me down to the water, as soon as i could see the shore by god i ran like the devil himself was chasing me, about 20ft from the rocks all the sounds came back, I jumped onto the rocks, slipped and banged my arse and back but when i turned around to look back at the forest i could hear the sound of the small twigs and sticks snapping as if something was running back up the forest away from me. It's an experience I'll never forget and hopefully doesn't happen again 🏴
POV: it was one of your friends behind P.S. That kind of thing happened to me one time. One (dark) day, I and some friends were going to camp in Michigan (Algonquian forests, bla,bla,bla) and I told the stories about wendigos around the campfire we lit up in the middle of the night. We couldn't fall asleep because, I don't know why, but probably because the long travel and all. So, nobody believed me even if I tried to convince them and I, kinda angry, closed myself in my room. I lurked through the window during an hour or two before I saw some kind of humanoid silhouette running by. I would say it was a friend running to get more marshmallows, but NO! It was something with sharp horns, something that looked like the wendigo, and I swear I saw it running by with its heavy footsteps. It freaked the hell out of me and I decided to go check it out. I opened the window and ran after the creature (don't ask how fast I run through dark woods, seeing nothing except the darkness). Then I heard some kind of sticks snapping behind me. I turn round and see some kind of silhouette in the bushes. I froze on place, because I couldn't run away. There was trees behind me, and there was that outline in front. Then it ran away and I did the same, but to my room. I never told this to friends, because it felt like if there was a real dark power that didn't give me the strength to. I hope it comes back some day.
I'm actually impressed that not a lot of these types of music are made, and it's only pop and hip hop and stuff that only come onto the platform. These types of music really break up the work; great job, bro! 🙃😄
I couldn't listen to Any of pop, whatever. No radio in car or house. CDs Only! This genre is a definate for me. Especially at night! Times I like to go to the country. Watch the sky while enjoying a soda and when I feel tired, turn this on, and turn off my light and the best sleep ever!.
I love the Wendigo tale. Namely from the game "Until Dawn" speaking of which, that game also was in the snowy winter. If I remember correctly the Wendigo was created by a fatality in a specific mountain region and by cannibalizing.
Yes, they are created by famine and cannibalism. But despite most depictions of them, actual wendigo are completly humanoid. No antlers just a skin taught pale horrifyingly skinny person
Until Dawn is garbage. Those aren't Wendigos, those are Gollum's cousins. It was better when it was purely the real but maybe fake but also real psychotic killer angle. Wendigos are spirits that possesses people who perform cannibalism or are too greedy. They're a personification of starvation and the coldness in human hearts. Wendigo psychosis is/was a real medical diagnosis for Native Americans, however.
The Wendigo is a demon that possesses humans and gives them extreme hunger and grows their proportions greatly. The demon finally completes its possession to make sure it stays in the victim by putting a skull on the head, usually one of a deer or elk.
Ello! ^^ im a Algonquian Native(Plains Cree) and im glad that our myths/legends are getting more attraction from a outside point of view, but People also have to remember that Wendigos are NOT something to mess with, No matter what non-believers/haters say... WE have these myths/legends for a reason and it would be nice that (sry about me saying this, as i know some do respect the spirit, this is for those who DONT) SOME people stop saying "theyer not real/its just made up" type of comments.. because Wendigos are VERY REAL and should be respected :/ (in our culture and im sure other Native Cultures will agree with me on this... But we are as Natives know that everything either it be a spirit/evil/good and nature itself MUST be RESPECTED.. otherwise bad things happen and we always end up on the blaming end .. Please people, respect Native cultures when we talk on stuff, because most if not all the time, its coming from a reliable source and the stories of myths/legends are more warnings to future generations... thats all i have to say and im sry about this being long, but it just peevs me sometimes that people dont listen to us when we try to only help. ^^' )
Question, is there more or less overlap between native beliefs? For instance, do various / all native cultures acknowledge Skinwalkers or is that more strictly Navajo? What do you make of them? What other interesting spirits, artifacts, or lore is there?
Love it when you put the extra effort to add the "monster" almost appearance! It adds to the suspense! And as always, lots of detailed sounds to listen to, that's amazing work!
We took a misshapen skull and antlers from the riverbank, found at the end of a hard journey through a cold Summer in the wild North. Something had chewed through the back of the cranium, in or out was hard to tell, the stains from the mud suggested most beasts had let it be for some time. Later, far to the South, we cut off his antlers, and I kept what was left of his head until I was West of the mountains, where I sunk the remains in a burnt lake; they drew blood before departing: even without a jaw, the teeth were sharp enough to bite flesh. So I let a few more drops of red to the Fall river, like so many before in the Canadian Shield, red like the ancient figures painted on the stone cliffs my blood had burned before. Now I do not wonder: what is a wasicun when the fat is all gone? Lean, cold, and so very, very hungry.
The "wendigo" you're thinking of, with the antlers, is actually a wechuge. A wendigo looks like a pale, thin human with sharp teeth, sometimes extremely tall.
Thank you OP for posting this. The whole antler thing was something I always found stupid in regards to the wendigo. I'm actually writing a book where the wendigo is the main antagonist and looks like the actual description, not the antler one. This will make great ambience for writing it.
It is currently 2:37 in the morning as I write this comment. I live in France, in the countryside, with no neighbors within 2 km. My house is at the edge of a vast forest. It's a warm summer night; if I open my window, I can roughly hear the sounds of animals coming from the depths of the forest. Despite all the comfort I have, I still feel a sense of survival, which I find incredible here. I can assure you that going out a bit at night, venturing into the forest, or chopping wood for the winter, just listening to the sounds of the animals, the silence of the forest, feeling the energy it exudes, is something special. Watching and listening to this video makes me think of all that.
Evil creeps beneath darkened eaves, you hear a voice alluring, a corpse hand gropes in the darkness, till you perish, choking on your screams, and the wendigo’s hunger is appeased
Writing a horror novel where this ship breaks down and ends up stranded on an isolated, undocumented icy planet to try and find a way off it. This is currently working wonders to get me to think clearly about the characters emotions. Excellent work👍
I really needed something to drown out my thoughts and anxiety so that I could finished my English homework. Thank you for making this! Thanks to you I finished an assignment I've been struggling with for over a week.
Amazing. The Wendigo is a very interesting part of folklore. One of my favorites. What they represent and their origins are both incredible topics of research.
Heres is a story One night, a family went out in the forest to go camping when they realized they didnt have any firewood. The parents sent their son to look for some wood deep in the forest. After some time, the parent were getting very worried. They go to look for their son, but see no trace of him. They keep looking and looking, but still no sign of him anywhere. They thought about giving up because it was no use wasting their time looking for their son, but thats when they heard a long, deep, and menacing growl. They get frightend and run off back to the site, but realize they have gone too far and were lost. They tried to call for help but there was to ranger tower near by, or anyone for that matter. There was no signal in the forest. Then, they heard a terrifying screech coming from the woods. Thats when they realize.. that there was no escape from what people call....... The wendigo They ended up seeing it and when they did, they stopped in their tracks, frightened. They couldnt move, and with the blink of an eye, they went missing. Never to be seen again.. The end
I’m definitely using this next session! My party is currently being stalked by Wendigos throughout the nights they travel and rest, and the pack only grows with every rest they take. Definitely the perfect music to build tension!
The way the camera or we, are sitting(looking at the ground in the middle) implies that we got seriously injured and we’re just lying there. Listening to the sound of the forest and a “deer” walks by (one at the beginning on the left side) and then we notice it double back and simply circle us as we wait for our end and we just tell it to bugger off and come back later.. because later between 12:00 or 15:00 the camera shifts to the right, like we’re trying to get comfy as the same “deer” comes back and simply lays down beside us to wait… Skinwalkers are said to be witch doctors, Wendigo are the starved that let hunger and the dark voice win, over listening the teachings of old. Not to sure and what the story with Wechuge’ are but… still pretty scary, less so when you’re already on the reapers list and the last thing you want to do is listen to the howling wind and shifting tree one last time, no amount of Wechuge or Wendigos will get ing the way of that.
Fantastisch. Ich weiß das es Orte auf diesem Planeten gibt welche wahrhaft lebendig sind. Dieser Sound trägt mich dort hin, ich bedanke mich. 👍I mit einem Abo
@restforthewicked6842 dieser Sound hat Potenzial. Er wirkt extrem fördernd auf tiefen psychologische transformations Prozesse in Verbindung mit einem den Klängen naheliegenden Begleit Thema. Magie in welcher wie üblich durch das geistige Formen von Räumen und Wegen Voraussetzungen geschaffen werden um magisch zu arbeiten. Diese Musik ist ein schnellzug in die unentlichen tiefen des eigenen Seins. Einfach genial.
Diese Musik kann depressiven Menschen eine Gefühls Basis der Ausgeglichenheit geben jedoch nur unter Begleitung eines stabilen und kündigen Menschen. Von selbst Versuchen rate ich ab. Das magische erwachen findet dann statt. Gefühle sowie ungeahnte Bilder steigen ins Bewußtsein. Durch eine zielgerichtete Führung kann ein gemütskranker Mensch von jetzt auf gleich sein krankhaften Kummer und sein heulen loswerden. 25 Jahre habe ich in dem verhängnisvollen Hamsterrad verbracht. Seit letzten Oktober ist alles noch besser als vorgestellt. Wir sind oder waren soviel von allem möglichen, nur nicht wir selbst,
this is perfect for when im stumbling through the forest as night slowly falls and i realise im completely lost and need something to calm my nerves, thanks
10/10 ambiance. Though don't listen to it when out in the northwoods at night. I got heckin spooped. One of the weirdest things to me is how everyone added deer horns to the Wendigo mythology. Suddenly, all the imagery and descriptions had horns, deer skulls, all that jazz. Almost universally. (I blame deer with CWD.) But in the folklore, it was more like the critters in Until Dawn. Like a bigger meaner Smeagol. Or that's how they were always described in the tribe. Though... Not really the kinda thing you just go and ask an elder about. With what I've heard and see, I'd almost be afraid of the answers.
I blame that terrible 90s movie (I think it was the 90s) with a deer human hybrid it it. I think it was titled Wendigo but the director had deliberately done no research on the original mythology. 🙄
@@nicholasbuchanan8464 Yes, the legend of the Wendigo almost certainly has some basis in reality, but the modern day description has no relation whatsoever to the original Algonquin mythology.
I agree however in until dawn those mountains were occupied by indians who often wore those types of "jewelery" for rituals, shamans and stuff. And canibalism was how wendigos were made. And maybe those indians were canibals or idk. Im not saying that those deer horns and skulls belong on wendigo but its just a little theory i made after reading your comment. Yk like if those shamans with wearing the horns turned into wendigos.. eh? Eh? Got it? Nah nevermind. Have a nice day ;)

I think I've asked you to make "Webdigo" ambient. Thank you for your work! It's very atmospheric! I've thought about your music videos about 10 minutes ago and.. A new video came from your channel!
The Wendigo still exists. I still believe in such a thing. I hear screams in The night. It's no dog. It's no deer in pain. It's no animal I've ever heard. The forest hold many secrets and the Wendigo is just one of them.
These kind of mythological creatures are still very prominent in todays stories and lullabies here in Serbia. Since the old history, the religion and beliefs in Jugoslavia have usually taken inspiration from old fairy tales and took more of a pagan-approach. Tho it has been orthodox for some centuries, many Serbians, especially the older generation, remember all the stories and songs about forest witches, creatures at night and many more.
it's fantastic ! I'm reading a comic book about the beast of Gévaudan and this video is the perfect soundtrack to accompany my reading. Are the songs available on Spotify?

The longer I listen to this, the more I keep thinking I’m missing something that’s staring at me from the trees. This is awesome. Edit: By the way, that part at the end with the Wendigo just out of the shot is the cherry on top.

I’m a young author/roleplayer and like to have nightmares to use as inspiration this really helps I’m not even being sarcastic like this is really helping, ty
Sorry but the description of the Wendigo is kinda inaccurate. its desiccated skin pulled tautly over its bones. With its bones pushing out against its skin, its complexion the ash gray of death, and its eyes pushed back deep into their sockets; the Wendigo looked like a gaunt skeleton recently disinterred from the grave. It doesn't have antlers.
The wendigo is able to make people eat other people, they are the embodiment of greedy people if you are greedy you become one, if you're consumed by one you also get turned into one of you consume enough human flesh. Hope this helps, I know I'm missing a lot of details but I have more.
you havent felt true fear until you have night training in the mountains with NVGs and every fucking tree starts looking like its a wendigo grabbing for you

The Wendigo, Kraken and Werewolf, are in my humble opinion .The absolute KINGS of the world of Monsters. there are definatly still a TON of other REALLY good ones though.
So I live right next to a forest that I often go on hikes through during the day time and it is idyllic and inviting during the sunshine hours, filled with bird-song and the sounds of rustling undergrowth caused by wind or small critters but can be incredibly unnerving at night (obviously). Currently it is 1:30 in the morn and I had my headphones on and decided I wanted a cigarette so made my way outside. I made my way out into the middle of my yard away from the comfort of my living room lights and was just gazing into the tree line, imagining something unseen looking back and immersing myself in the atmosphere. I turned around briefly in the direction of my house then heard the sound of footsteps and an intensely low, menacing growl. I turned around suddenly half-expecting to see some deformed creature reaching out to steal me into the darkness, my heart almost literally in my throat. I felt very stupid as I was aware I had headphones on the entire time and knew it was coming, didn't help one damn bit! Suffice to say I finished the cigarette early, shuddered in existential dread then very quickly made my way inside and turned on every light...perfect soundtrack if it can elicit the feeling of dread. 10/10 but not doing that again!
Sounds like an intensive smoke break! I'm glad you're doing well and appreciate your entertaining comment!
If your Ever in the Forest and it goes Quiet even the birds stop singing there is a good chance that there is a predator nearby.

Nobody:
Me: Casually listening to this every night to fall asleep because it calms my nerves and brain 😅
Ik right? It's music that summons cryptids and monsters, but it also summons sleep for some reason lol
Thanks for watching!
My spouse falls asleep to true crime and scary story streams. I fall asleep to ambient (dark and otherwise).
i agree. i feel like im the wendigo in this music
i listen to this whenever i have to walk through the woods in the dark to get back to my house and i always pretend i'm the protagonist of a fantasy horror game. it makes it so much more fun
*Wisco to, 2005, my buddys daughter returns from the woods edge at a field line, where she stated she sighted a Deer with " sort- of evil looking fangs ", she was in mild disbelief of this as she and her family had never heard of any anomaly or such a thing, she was a young girl the n, ivr asked her about it again when our families get together, and she remains clear on her memory. As for me, i make my life in the wilds, plenty stories, only one neighbor gir 1ile around surrounded by millions of acres of treed National Forest, Grand Canyon outer lands...serious chit abound these lands, i have experienced. Love the channel.

@@restforthewicked6842 sorry talk-to-text jumbled at a busy days time filling the mind with matters I like a lot, inclu6uour channel!) Thanks again 👍
Hey, what she probably saw is know as a Water Deer. Also known as a vampire deer because of its fangs - yes, fangs - water deer are native to Korea and China, but have spread, after first being imported to Great Britain in the 1870s, France, Argentina, England and parts of the United States. From a distance, they look a lot like regular deer. It could also be a Musk deer, hope this helps!
Close to same area! Spent some time at Bryce Nat Park a couple yrs ago. Also into Co rockies. To many people there now. Even went in Oct and was way overcrowded. Used to hike back into the deep interior 3 or so days but cant even do that anymore! Still, its beautiful to see.
I live in Scotland and a few years ago me and some friends decided to go to a mountain bothy (hillwalking shelter, basically an old crofters cottage) for one of the guys birthday weekend. The bothy is located on the shore of a sea loch (Loch Long) and we did a spot of fishing and just chilling out, i don't drink or smoke but the rest of the lad's enjoyed that sort of thing but i wanted to be alert incase something happened to one of us. Loch Long is located in Argyll and Bute which is a massive county that boasts beautiful scenery and has stunning mountains and it's also part of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs Park, it's truly stunning. The first night went great, no issues and none of the other lad's fell into the Loch or went missing i stayed awake and made sure that everyone was safely inside the bothy and i was sitting outside by the fire talking to a few hillwalkers who were also staying in the bothy. The next day we all got ourselves together for another day before going home the following day, across the Loch is a oil offloading facility and oil tankers come in, off load their cargo and it's then pumped over to the refinery in the east coast of Scotland so there's a constant humming noise of pumps running and probably electrical equipment running at high voltage. In the afternoon me and one of the hungover guys decided to walk up the side of the mountain back to the car which was a good 4 or 5 miles away parked up, there's a gravel road to the bothy but only the park rangers and emergency service vehicles are permitted to use it but at least there's a decent footing to the car. The other guy said "why don't we take a shortcut through the woods and hopefully get to the car quicker?" I was very hesitant about the idea but eventually decided to go for it but a good 30 minutes into this ridiculous idea and after walking through marsh and deer dung plus the bloody midges bitting my body I'd had enough and told the other guy that I'm heading back to the bothy, so he angrily marched away trying to keep going. I was soon lost in the very dense forest and thought if i make my way back down to the shore and follow the shoreline in the opposite direction I'd get to the bothy easily. So now I'm on my own trying to get back through all of the horrible stuff I'd went through but i was getting disoriented and thought well i can hear the people out on their boats with their engines running, i can hear the oil depo,the birds the water hitting the rocks, the problem was i knew i was going downwards and everything i could hear was disappearing like i was heading further away and at the same time i felt a very strange presence which very quickly turned to absolute fear, i very quickly became petrified my heart was pounding and i was breathing quickly but i kept walking down and the sound of my feet crunching the dead sticks disappeared, I truly felt like i was in the presence of a witch or something similar it's the most profound thing ever to have experienced, i swear it felt like something pure dark was watching me from behind one of the trees and i knew it was following me down to the water, as soon as i could see the shore by god i ran like the devil himself was chasing me, about 20ft from the rocks all the sounds came back, I jumped onto the rocks, slipped and banged my arse and back but when i turned around to look back at the forest i could hear the sound of the small twigs and sticks snapping as if something was running back up the forest away from me. It's an experience I'll never forget and hopefully doesn't happen again 🏴
POV: it was one of your friends behind
P.S. That kind of thing happened to me one time.
One (dark) day, I and some friends were going to camp in Michigan (Algonquian forests, bla,bla,bla) and I told the stories about wendigos around the campfire we lit up in the middle of the night. We couldn't fall asleep because, I don't know why, but probably because the long travel and all. So, nobody believed me even if I tried to convince them and I, kinda angry, closed myself in my room. I lurked through the window during an hour or two before I saw some kind of humanoid silhouette running by. I would say it was a friend running to get more marshmallows, but NO! It was something with sharp horns, something that looked like the wendigo, and I swear I saw it running by with its heavy footsteps. It freaked the hell out of me and I decided to go check it out. I opened the window and ran after the creature (don't ask how fast I run through dark woods, seeing nothing except the darkness). Then I heard some kind of sticks snapping behind me. I turn round and see some kind of silhouette in the bushes. I froze on place, because I couldn't run away. There was trees behind me, and there was that outline in front. Then it ran away and I did the same, but to my room. I never told this to friends, because it felt like if there was a real dark power that didn't give me the strength to. I hope it comes back some day.
I'm actually impressed that not a lot of these types of music are made, and it's only pop and hip hop and stuff that only come onto the platform. These types of music really break up the work; great job, bro! 🙃😄
That‘s very kind! Thank you very much!
I couldn't listen to Any of pop, whatever. No radio in car or house. CDs Only! This genre is a definate for me. Especially at night! Times I like to go to the country. Watch the sky while enjoying a soda and when I feel tired, turn this on, and turn off my light and the best sleep ever!.
Wow, another dark and chilly journey. Thank you and keep it up!
So glad! Thanks a lot buddy!
I love the Wendigo tale. Namely from the game "Until Dawn" speaking of which, that game also was in the snowy winter. If I remember correctly the Wendigo was created by a fatality in a specific mountain region and by cannibalizing.
Thanks for watching!
Yes, they are created by famine and cannibalism. But despite most depictions of them, actual wendigo are completly humanoid. No antlers just a skin taught pale horrifyingly skinny person
Until Dawn is garbage. Those aren't Wendigos, those are Gollum's cousins. It was better when it was purely the real but maybe fake but also real psychotic killer angle.
Wendigos are spirits that possesses people who perform cannibalism or are too greedy. They're a personification of starvation and the coldness in human hearts.
Wendigo psychosis is/was a real medical diagnosis for Native Americans, however.
Imagine listening to this while doing those non action but slow and chilling explorining stages in until dawn.
The Wendigo is a demon that possesses humans and gives them extreme hunger and grows their proportions greatly. The demon finally completes its possession to make sure it stays in the victim by putting a skull on the head, usually one of a deer or elk.
Ello! ^^ im a Algonquian Native(Plains Cree) and im glad that our myths/legends are getting more attraction from a outside point of view, but People also have to remember that Wendigos are NOT something to mess with, No matter what non-believers/haters say... WE have these myths/legends for a reason and it would be nice that (sry about me saying this, as i know some do respect the spirit, this is for those who DONT) SOME people stop saying "theyer not real/its just made up" type of comments.. because Wendigos are VERY REAL and should be respected :/
(in our culture and im sure other Native Cultures will agree with me on this... But we are as Natives know that everything either it be a spirit/evil/good and nature itself MUST be RESPECTED.. otherwise bad things happen and we always end up on the blaming end .. Please people, respect Native cultures when we talk on stuff, because most if not all the time, its coming from a reliable source and the stories of myths/legends are more warnings to future generations... thats all i have to say and im sry about this being long, but it just peevs me sometimes that people dont listen to us when we try to only help. ^^' )
Of course, there's tales for a reason
Question, is there more or less overlap between native beliefs? For instance, do various / all native cultures acknowledge Skinwalkers or is that more strictly Navajo? What do you make of them? What other interesting spirits, artifacts, or lore is there?
it all proves you are very special, even a god, maybe ... wow!!
being a non believer isn't synonymous with being a hater dude. I don't believe in any of this but I still respect the culture.
It's like any other religion. What is real and what is not isn't important, but respecting others is
I have seen these creatures first hand. I must say they are menacing as well as fascinating
Love it when you put the extra effort to add the "monster" almost appearance! It adds to the suspense! And as always, lots of detailed sounds to listen to, that's amazing work!
Thank you so much for your feedback! It really means a lot to me!
I'm actually writing a book at the moment and the Wendigo is part of the books history. This video popped up and I had to click it!
Hope you liked it.
Listening to this whole writing a story about being in the snow filled woods at night. I appreciate the creation of this
Awesome! Thanks and happy writing!
We took a misshapen skull and antlers from the riverbank, found at the end of a hard journey through a cold Summer in the wild North. Something had chewed through the back of the cranium, in or out was hard to tell, the stains from the mud suggested most beasts had let it be for some time. Later, far to the South, we cut off his antlers, and I kept what was left of his head until I was West of the mountains, where I sunk the remains in a burnt lake; they drew blood before departing: even without a jaw, the teeth were sharp enough to bite flesh. So I let a few more drops of red to the Fall river, like so many before in the Canadian Shield, red like the ancient figures painted on the stone cliffs my blood had burned before. Now I do not wonder: what is a wasicun when the fat is all gone? Lean, cold, and so very, very hungry.
3:18 love how he just walked near us saw that we were chilling and was like "ight bro I get it bye" 😂😂
All eyes on him;-) Thanks for watching!
The "wendigo" you're thinking of, with the antlers, is actually a wechuge.
A wendigo looks like a pale, thin human with sharp teeth, sometimes extremely tall.
Maybe, but everything looks cooler with antlers!
Thank you OP for posting this. The whole antler thing was something I always found stupid in regards to the wendigo. I'm actually writing a book where the wendigo is the main antagonist and looks like the actual description, not the antler one. This will make great ambience for writing it.
oh, thought I was wendigokin at first-- tysm
@@restforthewicked6842 they wrong anyway
It is currently 2:37 in the morning as I write this comment. I live in France, in the countryside, with no neighbors within 2 km. My house is at the edge of a vast forest. It's a warm summer night; if I open my window, I can roughly hear the sounds of animals coming from the depths of the forest. Despite all the comfort I have, I still feel a sense of survival, which I find incredible here. I can assure you that going out a bit at night, venturing into the forest, or chopping wood for the winter, just listening to the sounds of the animals, the silence of the forest, feeling the energy it exudes, is something special. Watching and listening to this video makes me think of all that.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Absolutely perfect! The sounds and everything paint a super accurate (I believe) portrayal of this Native American legend. Love it!
Glad to hear that! Thank you for your kind words!
Beautiful, haunting, suspenseful. Werewolves, witches, wendigos, oh my!! And wait for it... wendigo on the right side
At least parts of the Wendigo;-) Thanks for watching!
Evil creeps beneath darkened eaves, you hear a voice alluring, a corpse hand gropes in the darkness, till you perish, choking on your screams, and the wendigo’s hunger is appeased
That's true Shakespeare s***.

Amazing. The Wendigo is a very interesting part of folklore. One of my favorites. What they represent and their origins are both incredible topics of research.
I appreciate you watching!
Heres is a story
One night, a family went out in the forest to go camping when they realized they didnt have any firewood. The parents sent their son to look for some wood deep in the forest. After some time, the parent were getting very worried. They go to look for their son, but see no trace of him. They keep looking and looking, but still no sign of him anywhere. They thought about giving up because it was no use wasting their time looking for their son, but thats when they heard a long, deep, and menacing growl. They get frightend and run off back to the site, but realize they have gone too far and were lost. They tried to call for help but there was to ranger tower near by, or anyone for that matter. There was no signal in the forest. Then, they heard a terrifying screech coming from the woods. Thats when they realize.. that there was no escape from what people call.......
The wendigo
They ended up seeing it and when they did, they stopped in their tracks, frightened. They couldnt move, and with the blink of an eye, they went missing.
Never to be seen again..
The end
Damn. What a common story topic.
This is actually… really helpful. I’m reading a story right now, and this honestly really helps me visualize the story. Way better experience.
Happy to hear that! Thanks and happy reading!
Very cool animations and beautiful orchestral ambience! This would make amazing ambience for a DnD game!

I’m definitely using this next session! My party is currently being stalked by Wendigos throughout the nights they travel and rest, and the pack only grows with every rest they take. Definitely the perfect music to build tension!
@@phoenix_2093 absolutely! Enjoy :)
Great music for a beautiful, snowy night in the forest.
Thanks a lot!
As someone who loves Wendigo thank you this is great
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
The way the camera or we, are sitting(looking at the ground in the middle) implies that we got seriously injured and we’re just lying there. Listening to the sound of the forest and a “deer” walks by (one at the beginning on the left side) and then we notice it double back and simply circle us as we wait for our end and we just tell it to bugger off and come back later.. because later between 12:00 or 15:00 the camera shifts to the right, like we’re trying to get comfy as the same “deer” comes back and simply lays down beside us to wait… Skinwalkers are said to be witch doctors, Wendigo are the starved that let hunger and the dark voice win, over listening the teachings of old. Not to sure and what the story with Wechuge’ are but… still pretty scary, less so when you’re already on the reapers list and the last thing you want to do is listen to the howling wind and shifting tree one last time, no amount of Wechuge or Wendigos will get ing the way of that.
I appreciate you watching!

Vielen Dank für deine netten Worte und natürlich auch für das Abo!
@restforthewicked6842 dieser Sound hat Potenzial. Er wirkt extrem fördernd auf tiefen psychologische transformations Prozesse in Verbindung mit einem den Klängen naheliegenden Begleit Thema. Magie in welcher wie üblich durch das geistige Formen von Räumen und Wegen Voraussetzungen geschaffen werden um magisch zu arbeiten. Diese Musik ist ein schnellzug in die unentlichen tiefen des eigenen Seins. Einfach genial.
Diese Musik kann depressiven Menschen eine Gefühls Basis der Ausgeglichenheit geben jedoch nur unter Begleitung eines stabilen und kündigen Menschen. Von selbst Versuchen rate ich ab. Das magische erwachen findet dann statt. Gefühle sowie ungeahnte Bilder steigen ins Bewußtsein. Durch eine zielgerichtete Führung kann ein gemütskranker Mensch von jetzt auf gleich sein krankhaften Kummer und sein heulen loswerden. 25 Jahre habe ich in dem verhängnisvollen Hamsterrad verbracht. Seit letzten Oktober ist alles noch besser als vorgestellt. Wir sind oder waren soviel von allem möglichen, nur nicht wir selbst,

@@restforthewicked6842Anytime man, keep it up!
10/10 ambiance. Though don't listen to it when out in the northwoods at night. I got heckin spooped.
One of the weirdest things to me is how everyone added deer horns to the Wendigo mythology. Suddenly, all the imagery and descriptions had horns, deer skulls, all that jazz. Almost universally. (I blame deer with CWD.) But in the folklore, it was more like the critters in Until Dawn. Like a bigger meaner Smeagol. Or that's how they were always described in the tribe. Though... Not really the kinda thing you just go and ask an elder about. With what I've heard and see, I'd almost be afraid of the answers.
Thank you very much for your nice and interesting comment!
I blame that terrible 90s movie (I think it was the 90s) with a deer human hybrid it it. I think it was titled Wendigo but the director had deliberately done no research on the original mythology. 🙄
You do know that all mythology has some basis in fact, right?
@@nicholasbuchanan8464 Yes, the legend of the Wendigo almost certainly has some basis in reality, but the modern day description has no relation whatsoever to the original Algonquin mythology.
I agree however in until dawn those mountains were occupied by indians who often wore those types of "jewelery" for rituals, shamans and stuff. And canibalism was how wendigos were made. And maybe those indians were canibals or idk. Im not saying that those deer horns and skulls belong on wendigo but its just a little theory i made after reading your comment. Yk like if those shamans with wearing the horns turned into wendigos.. eh? Eh? Got it? Nah nevermind. Have a nice day ;)

The Wendigo still exists. I still believe in such a thing. I hear screams in The night. It's no dog. It's no deer in pain. It's no animal I've ever heard. The forest hold many secrets and the Wendigo is just one of them.
Finally, I can get some sleep. Thank you. 💕

It doesn't shake me in the slightest. It's calming
These kind of mythological creatures are still very prominent in todays stories and lullabies here in Serbia. Since the old history, the religion and beliefs in Jugoslavia have usually taken inspiration from old fairy tales and took more of a pagan-approach. Tho it has been orthodox for some centuries, many Serbians, especially the older generation, remember all the stories and songs about forest witches, creatures at night and many more.

Sorry but the description of the Wendigo is kinda inaccurate. its desiccated skin pulled tautly over its bones. With its bones pushing out against its skin, its complexion the ash gray of death, and its eyes pushed back deep into their sockets; the Wendigo looked like a gaunt skeleton recently disinterred from the grave. It doesn't have antlers.
Another version is that it's just a human that eats people up in the mountains
Yeah I think I heard there was a horror movie that showed it as an antler monster and now that’s kinda become the thing people find about it online

The wendigo is able to make people eat other people, they are the embodiment of greedy people if you are greedy you become one, if you're consumed by one you also get turned into one of you consume enough human flesh. Hope this helps, I know I'm missing a lot of details but I have more.
