The Wendigo - Truth or Myth... The term "Wendigo" or "Windigo" is used to describe both the evil spirit as well as the creature that humans can become when possessed by the spirit. The Wendigo is a demonic spirit believed by Algonquin-based Native American tribes to possess humans and turn them into cannibals. [hidden image - please register] The best known way to become a Wendigo is through cannibalism. By eating another human being, The Wendigo legend was prevalent in the northern United States and Canada, and particularly roamed around woods and forests in the coldest areas where food was scarce and survival was challenging. [hidden image - please register] There is a condition known as "Wendigo Psychosis" under which people who have reasonable access to other food sources would inexplicably become overcome with the need to consume human flesh. One such person, a Cree man named Swift Runner, famously slaughtered his entire family in 1878 and ate them, despite being only 25 miles from the Hudson Bay Company's supply post. In 1907 a Oji-Cree man named Jack Fiddler and his brother were arrested for killing over 14 people who he claimed were Wendigos or about to become them. As tribes have been more and more influenced by surrounding culture, the reports of the Wendigo have declined over the years, but as with most evil spirits, it is doubtful that this creature is gone for good. |

But it also is believed to be the location of restless ghosts and haunted buildings. Two ghost hunters decided to visit it and find out if they could see some themselves. And what they spotted was truly terrifying... To the side of the shot, two cannons come into view and this is where the apparition appears. It strolls past the weapons and appears to walk towards the car in which the two ghost hunters are sat in. Then – just as quick as it appeared – the ghost disappears. The cameramen are understandably shocked at what they have just witnessed. |

Sanders, who works as an IT professional and makes "Liberty Oriented Media" on his YouTube channel, told CNN that he felt that the reasoning behind the ticket was unjust and said he hoped his payment would work as a protest. The video shows Sanders arriving at the Frisco Municipal Court and speaking to the women behind the counter before bringing in two buckets with the words "Extortion payment" written on them and dumping the nearly 22,000 pennies on the counter. City of Frisco spokeswoman Dana Baird also told CNN that two-coin cashing machines were used to count the pennies over the course of three hours. "There was an overpayment of $7.81," she said.
