On April 18, 1991, Seattle police entered a small apartment in the Richmond Beach area of King County and found a scene straight out of a horror novel. Thirty-five-year-old Christopher Case was discovered dead, kneeling fully clothed in his dry bathtub with his head resting against the wall. There were no signs of an intruder or a struggle – yet the atmosphere was anything but normal. The apartment was littered with crucifixes and burned-down candles, and curious lines of salt had been carefully poured along the base of every wall and across doorways.

Three cases. Three encounters with the horrifying influence of the Wendigo. In 19th‑century Canada, Swift Runner's descent into darkness led him to commit unspeakable acts of cannibalism, as he claimed the spirit of the Wendigo drove him to murder. In another chilling tale, Jack Fiddler emerged as a relentless Wendigo hunter, determined to confront and vanquish the malevolent force that haunted his people—even as his actions collided with colonial laws. And in modern times, a brutal attack aboard a Greyhound bus in Manitoba, marked by shocking violence and cannibalism, has drawn unsettling parallels to the ancient Wendigo myth. Were these tragic events mere coincidences, or do they reveal the enduring terror of a dark force that transforms man into monster?

Three villages. Three impossible disappearances. No bodies, no signs of struggle - just entire communities erased as if they had never existed. In China’s remote Qinling Mountains, a village vanishes overnight, leaving behind only whispers of government cover-ups and ancient warnings. Across the Atlantic, the lost colony of Roanoke leaves behind a single word "Croatoan" a name that resurfaces throughout history, linked to disappearances and death. And deep in the Canadian wilderness, the Angikuni Lake village stands frozen in time, its people gone, its sled dogs left behind. Were these vanishings the work of natural forces, government secrets… or something far more terrifying?
