The Wendigo is terrifying enough \u2013 with its backstory claiming it is the creation of a person who chose to become a cannibal, and ended up twisting up into the legendary monster. But that\u2019s just it \u2013 so far, it\u2019s only just a legend. We have no solid proof of its existence. But even more horrifying than the Wendigo is Wendigo Psychosis \u2013 something that is not a legend at all. (Wendigo Psychosis) *** Lauretta Lyons was killed in her own home on June 9th, 1966. And now, so many decades later, authorities are still at a loss as to who committed the murder. (It Was Just An Ordinary Day) *** What does it feel like to die? We obviously won\u2019t know personally until we die ourselves, as it\u2019s hard to talk to someone about their experience of dying if they are\u2026 well\u2026 dead. But Reverend J.T. Mann can describe it \u2013 as he was hanged\u2026 died\u2026 and then came back to life to tell the story of what happened to his soul while he was gone. (He Was Hanged As a Spy But Came Back to Life) *** We\u2019ll look at a few other legendary creatures and cryptids that have some interesting stories attached to them! (More Mythological Monsters) *** (Originally aired May 19, 2021)
