This story appears in the timeless classic, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, which relates the myth as sourced from the Northeastern United States. The source for Scary Stories claims to have heard it in the 1930s, which is 20 years after the Blackwood story. I believe the myth predates Blackwood, who merely appropriated it.

I absolutely hated this episode and way to hard defending the program.

This episode made me laugh out loud several times.

Geesh guys…this is worthy of the Bulwyr Lytton prize for bad writing.

In reply to Joshua English Scrimshaw. The Wendigo is one of my favorite weird tales ever. If you do get around to working the story into play form that would be amazing!

In reply to Marzipan. I agree. The original story is hard to beat (and even harder to condense into thirty minutes of audio). The radio version is a little thin compared to Blackwood's original, but I still think it works - just in a different way. A recent edition to my bucket list is to adapt this story for stage. It's so good.

I’m a little disappointed by this adaptation mostly because the original story is so good, but for what they had to work with they did not do a bad job.

As a fan of old time horror literature, I wanted to like this but it didn’t draw me in. I enjoyed the conversation and analysis of it though.

This one absolutely didn’t grab me. They usually do. This one didn’t. 🙁
