"The Wendigo, or Windigo, is a female spirit that personifies the awful cold of the northern forests. She figures in the folklore of forest Indians in Canada and sections of the northermost United States.
"According to this legend, the Wendigo attracts victims by calling to them in an irresistible way, then bears them away at great speed, finally sweeps them into the sky, then drops them, leaving them fith frozen stumps where their feet once were, As they are carried off, they characteristically scream, '...My firey feet, my burning feet of fire!'"
"The only defense against the Wendigo is to restrain the person who is being called. But the spirit then tries to entice whoever is holding him.
"In the lore of some northern tribes, the Wendigo functions not as a spirit of the cold, but as a cannibal giant that kills for human flesh. Some nineteenth-century Indians also suffered from a compulsion to eat human flesh, an illness anthropologists later described as 'Wendigo Psychosis'"
