In the deep, frozen forests of the North, an ancient and intelligent hunger is said to wait. More than just a cautionary myth, the Wendigo of Algonquian lore presents a terrifying and consistent paranormal profile: a malevolent spirit of possession, an emaciated giant with a heart of ice, and a predator that feasts on human flesh and despair.

In this episode, we build a supernatural case file. We analyze the horrifying, historical accounts of Swift Runner and Jack Fiddler not as mere crime stories, but as potential evidence of a true possession. We cross-examine folklore as if it were eyewitness testimony, profile the entity’s modus operandi, and examine modern encounters that suggest this frozen fear is not just a story, but a conscious, stalking presence that may still linger in the winter shadows. Is the Wendigo the most real monster we’ve ever faced?

For centuries, the Shroud of Turin—a length of linen bearing the ghostly, blood-stained image of a crucified man—has been one of the world's most debated religious relics. Is it the authentic burial cloth of Jesus Christ, or an elaborate medieval forgery? In this episode, we untangle fact from faith.

Join us for a concise journey through time, faith, and cutting-edge science, as we examine what we know, what we don't, and why this ancient linen cloth continues to captivate and confound us in the modern age.
