A chilling tale of an encounter with a terrifying creature has been shared on the YouTube channel Dreamscape Horrors. The video, titled "We Were Chased By a Wendigo! - A True Story," recounts the harrowing experience of two women, Allison and Sarah, who found themselves pursued by a mysterious and frightening being while driving through a wooded area in Minnesota. According to the video, Allison and Sarah were attending a health conference in Deluth, Minnesota in early spring 2003. After spending a couple of days learning about the latest trends in their field, they decided to head back to South Vienna, Ohio. The drive started off uneventfully, with the two women enjoying some light-hearted banter. However, as the miles stretched on, the road seemed to grow unfamiliar and before they knew it, they found themselves lost in a dense forest. As they navigated through the woods, the sun had gone down and the darkness added to their unease. Suddenly, as they rounded a bend, they spotted some sort of animal standing on the side of the road. Whatever it was, they didn't recognize it as any animal they had ever seen. Allison whispered, "What on Earth is that?" as they drove past it. Sarah, looking at the map, told Allison to take the next right. As they were approaching their next turn, Allison looked up in the rear view mirror and gasped at what she saw. Sarah turned around to look behind them, seeing the creature they had passed running behind their car. They made the turn with the creature still in pursuit. A short distance down the road, they heard a loud thud from something on top of the car. Allison looked back and saw the creature hanging on. She pressed on the gas, but it hung on. Allison said she thinks they had driven about a mile or two with the creature on the roof when she slammed on the brakes, throwing the creature off the car. They saw it fly off the roof, landing on the road in their headlights. While the creature was laying in the road somewhat stunned, Allison accelerated quickly around it, glancing at it in the mirror as they drove away. She remembers it being too big to run over. Keep going, Sarah shouted, her heart pounding in her chest. Allison swerved around a curve, the headlights piercing through the darkness as they raced back to civilization. Sarah used the map to tell Allison where to turn, keeping an eye out behind them for the creature as they drove. Allison said she had never been so glad to see lights as when they approached the town they drove into. They continued driving for about a half hour when Allison said she was just too shaken to drive further. They opted to stay the night in a hotel. After checking in and unloading their luggage in their room, they decided to go down to the Hotel bar for a couple of drinks to help them relax. As they were sitting at the table talking about what had occurred, a woman came up to their table and asked if she could join them. Allison said she remembered when the older woman sat down, she noticed she was wearing a pleasant floral scented fragrance. She introduced herself as Ruby, a retired school teacher. Ruby told them she had overheard their conversation and wanted to share what she knew about the subject. Ruby told them about her best friend growing up. She said her friend was a descendant of the Algonquian people. Her friend's grandmother lived with them and she would tell all kinds of stories. She said one of the stories that stood out to her the most were the ones about the wendigo. Ruby said she had an old book that had depictions of the creature and what they were describing sounded a lot like the pictures she had seen in that book. Sarah asked what exactly a wendigo was. She explained to the best of her recollection, they were a supernatural cannibalistic demon of some sort, prevalent in Nanabozho folklore from around the northern US and parts of Canada. Ruby told them to consider themselves lucky to have gotten away. She said when she overheard them, she couldn't help but share what she could remember from her friend's grandmother's tales. This is a truly terrifying account, and one that is sure to leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
