WENDIGO ENCOUNTERS in Canada: Episode 3 - Swift Runner
In this video, we explore the infamous story of Swift Runner, one of Canada’s most famous cannibals, who killed and ate his wife and children in the winter of early 1879. Were Swift Runner’s crimes the actions of a desperate man driven to madness by starvation? Did the Cree hunter suffer from a psychiatric disorder which anthropologists call “Wendigo psychosis”? Or, as his fellow Cree believed, was Swift Runner possessed by the Wendigo, the evil cannibal spirit of the North?
