The Wendigo Whispers: The blizzard came without warning, swallowing the forest in a blanket of white. For hours, Thomas trudged through the snow, his breath coming in ragged gasps as the cold gnawed at his bones. His lantern flickered weakly, barely illuminating the skeletal trees around him. The sun had long since set, and darkness wrapped itself around the woods like a shroud.
He had set out that morning to hunt deer, but now, lost in the storm, his only thought was survival. The forest was unfamiliar, its usual pathways buried beneath feet of snow. He adjusted his fur-lined coat and pressed on, teeth chattering.
Then, he heard it—a whisper carried on the wind.
“Thomas…”
He froze. The voice was faint but unmistakable, a low, guttural sound that seemed to come from everywhere at once. He turned, scanning the trees, but saw nothing. His pulse quickened, and his breath formed frantic clouds in the icy air.
“Just the wind,” he muttered, forcing his legs to move. “Only the wind.”
The whisper came again, louder this time.
Panic bubbled in his chest. He stumbled forward, his boots crunching through the snow, his lantern barely holding back the dark. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw it—a shadow slipping between the trees, long and gaunt.
“Who’s there?” he called, his voice cracking. The shadow didn’t answer. Instead, it moved closer, revealing a form that sent a jolt of terror through his body.
It was tall—unnaturally tall—with limbs too long and thin for any human. Its skin was stretched tight over its bones, pale and cracked like frostbitten flesh. Hollow eyes burned with a sickly yellow light, and its mouth twisted into a grotesque grin, filled with jagged teeth.
The Wendigo.
It stood motionless, watching him with an unsettling hunger. Then it spoke, its voice a cold rasp that seemed to echo inside his skull.
“So…hungry…”
Thomas didn’t wait. He turned and ran, his heart hammering in his chest. The snow clung to his legs, slowing him down, but he didn’t dare look back. He could hear the creature behind him—its footsteps crunching through the snow, its ragged breath cutting through the storm.
He tripped, falling face-first into the snow. The lantern flew from his hand and shattered, plunging him into darkness. He scrambled to his feet, the cold biting into his skin. His eyes darted around, searching for any sign of the creature.
It was gone.
For a moment, he dared to hope. Maybe it had given up. Maybe it was just a trick of the light, a nightmare conjured by the dark shadows.
Then, a cold hand gripped his shoulder.
He screamed, turning to face his pursuer. The Wendigo loomed over him, its breath like ice against his face.
“Hungry,” it whispered again. “So…hungry…”
Thomas tried to pull away, but the Wendigo’s grip was as strong as iron. It leaned in closer, its eyes blazing with hunger.
“No one leaves the woods,” it said softly. “Not once they’ve heard the whisper.”
The last thing Thomas saw was the Wendigo leaning in, its twisted grin, its teeth closing like a trap.
When the storm cleared, the villagers found Thomas’s hunting gear scattered in the snow, but there was no sign of him. They searched the woods for days, calling his name into the silent trees, but he was never seen again.
Some say he was taken by the storm. Others whisper that he still roams the forest, his soul consumed by the Wendigo’s curse.
And others swear that on cold winter nights, when the wind howls through the trees, you can still hear his voice—calling for help, forever lost in the snow.
If you enjoyed Wendigo Whispers you’ll likely love these longer, well crafted and famous books featuring this most feared North American Spirit, the Wendigo.
