    This could EASILY be made into a movie....a series of Loup-Garou themed yarns presented as vignettes, all told by the various characters of the first story, set against the backdrop of their own struggle against that group of Loup_Garou over the night of Christmas eve. It could be an awesome Christmas horror movie!......and with a twist ending of course (maybe the old trapper or the sergeant could be a werewolf, setting them all up to be munched by his friends outside the fort walls). I could imagine it having a similar feel to that classic cannibal horror movie with Guy Pierce from the 1990's, 'Ravenous' (which is a must watch if you love that pioneers and military in the wilderness type film)

    OMG, it's been decades since i've heard the term 'Loup Garo', don't even remember where i first ran into the term but seem to have it associated with Cajun lore from Louisiana here in the US. A vengeful Canadian Indian female Loup Garo, eeeep!
    Gotta say, these are three of the very best spooky tales i've ever heard and i've been around a while.

    I really enjoy the background music, it sets the mood of the story perfectly. I do believe there is some truth to old folklore stories, all though some may have embellished parts. There is always a once of truth. Honor was valued back in those days, to be labeled crazy carried consequences. I often thought of a possible Portal to a another dimension, in which these things could exist and then disappear.

      @@solarius5057 Are you Indigenous? If not, it's not your place to decide what's offensive and what's not. The term is well known, here in Québec, as a slur. I don't know anybody that would use this word, except for children who read that in outdated books. I'm pretty sure the author, back in the days, didn't use to be offensive. If I were Hammerson, I would have changed the word to match the intent of the author. But I wouldn't change it if shows my ancestors' ignorance about Indigenous cultures. Trust me, in old québécois sources, a lot of slurs were used to express an open disgust towards Indigenous people. They were seen as lazy, as superstitious and irrational, that they needed guidance to save them from themselves. So even though the word, here, was not meant as a slur, it's now well known that it is. There is no reason to use it nowadays when the intent wasn't harmful.
