I've heard stories about creatures called Wendigos before (refered to as "The Wendigo," implying that there is only one), but the the ones I know are totally different. They revolve around a young man and his superstitious Native American guide. Always, he is the last choice of the visiting man, being the only man brave enough to risk meeting the Wendigo. As the story progresses, the guide stops more and more often. When the visitor asks what is wrong, the guide tells him he thought he heard something. Finally, one night the guide went crazy. He ran out of the visitor's tent, screaming that the Wendigo was burning his feet, or, alternately, that it was calling him. The visiting man chases after his guide, but is ultimately unable to catch up to him and is lost. He wanders in the same direction for a week or two, surviving on what food and water remained, and comes upon the corpse of the Native man who has been dead for as long. His feet are burnt down to bloody stumps.
