Virginia Trapper's Encounter: 8-Foot Wendigo with Red Eyes and Horns

In a recent video from the YouTube channel Grizzly Is On The Hunt, host Nate Mulligan shares his harrowing encounter with a creature he believes to be a wendigo. While out trapping in the mountains of Virginia in the late 70s, Mulligan felt like he was being watched and heard noises behind him. As he moved, the noise followed, and he caught a glimpse of a large, black, hairy creature with a long face, horns, and red eyes. For those unfamiliar, a wendigo is a creature from Native American folklore, specifically the Algonquian peoples, and is often depicted as a monster that devours human flesh. The legend of the wendigo has been passed down through generations and is still a topic of interest for many people today. Mulligan goes on to describe how the creature chased him and even jumped over a 100-foot bank to get closer to him. The encounter left Mulligan shaken and has stayed with him to this day. He admits that he hasn't been back to the mountains alone since. As Bigfoot enthusiasts, we are always interested in hearing about encounters with unknown creatures.
