#windego

So, earlier my fiance and I were talking briefly about the game Until Dawn, and that got us making up alternative pronunciations of Windego. Before I continue, for those that don't know, a Windego is a spirit from Native American mythology that possesses people and really likes how human flesh tastes. A Wendigo is a person that turned into a man eating monster after cannibalizing their fellows, specifically during the winter for sustenance, if I remember right. I was looking them up for something and found both them and Skinwalkers absolutely fascinating. It is also the title of a story in the book of nightmares from every 90's kid's childhood known as Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. There's not a single one of us that doesn't have the artwork from that book burned into our brains, and only liars will tell you otherwise. In this story, the Wendigo calls someone's name eerily over the wind during winter nights. Alright, now that we're all caught up, on with my story. So, we were coming up with amusing ways to pronounce Windego and I happened to blurt out the horrible word Windegeese. It led to jokes about eerie honks in the cold night air of deepest, darkest winter, but did not undo the horror that I had unwittingly brought into the world.
