Wendigo & Similar Creature Stories From Reddit NoSleep

I’ve been looking for some Wendigo stories for a while, while it may be debatable that these stories are about actual Wendigos but they are interesting all the same.

Story 1:

Story 2:

Out here in Colorado, my uncle Jim always said once when we were camping "If you're ever deep in a forest not near any major roads and all of the birds and animals go quiet, to leave the forest as fast as possible."

I just realized a wendigo’s presence is sometimes foretold by a blizzard or foul smelling odor so that’s another similarity

Wendigos: creatures that only seek to eat, since they’re constantly starving

Skin walkers: shapeshifting creatures that try to trick and kill humans

I camped out one night with a buddy of mine in Colorado and we was sitting around the fire drinking some hot coffee when my buddy said”you hear that?”I got to listening and we heard huge like heavy footsteps and we looked everywhere and couldn’t see anything so we yk went to bed and halfway into sleeping I hear what sounded like my buddies voice and I was frightened when I woke up to see him fast asleep with his voice outside saying”come out here and drink with me buddy”I’ve never been so scared in my life

As a deer hunter for years, the part about animals going quiet is very true. Make it to your stand and roughly half an hour will pass before they start moving again.

Since there's no music it feels like someone is telling me a story in person, good job on the narration.

Idk what I saw when I was younger but it shook me to my core. I’m being fully transparent if nobody believes me that is ok. When I was young, maybe 8-9; I awoke to a sickening feeling that I was being watched. The best way I could describe this feeling was as if I had just had a near death experience and my adrenaline was high. I felt frozen in fear, eventually I mustered up the courage to just lift my head up with my neck in order to look around the room. My eyes eventually rested upon my doorway, and that is when I saw it. The moon illuminated its gaunt figure it was no more than 4ft tall, hairless, as well as pale white or light grey. I had laid my eyes upon it as it was slowly crawling on all fours. When I looked in it’s direction it’s head slowly turned and it’s gaze met mine. I am sorry to say I can’t remember it’s eyes, but I believe they were a solid black. Eventually I did what any kid would in that situation, I covered my head with the blankets to make it go away; it did not go away. Eventually I kept my blankets over my head and fell asleep. A full decade later and I hardly have nightmares anymore, but whenever someone brings up a similar looking creature I can’t help buck think back to that fateful night. Please don’t ridicule me for this story, it is what I saw nothing more, if anything I’d like for others to reply if they have similar stories.

I’m starting to think maybe I shouldn’t have watched this at 2am in my pitch black room

Imagine an alternate reality where Wendigo’s keep their terrifying appearance, but instead of being monsters they are guardians of the forest who help lost hikers and give flowers to children.

cover me boys, I'm about to watch this without my blanket on

I’m a deer hunter up here in Ohio, we have this property of a friend whos tree farm went under and all the trees are overgrown making a thick forest, me and my dad were out one day when suddenly the birds and small vermin went silent. I thought nothing of it until I heard a breaking of branches a ways off. I readied my bow in hopes of a deer, but nothing. I soon relaxed myself a little and about an hour later the forest went back to normal. I always dismissed my experience as over active imagination, but I don’t know what could have been out there.

There’s currently a blizzard in my hometown which is a rural suburb of Chicago. All night I kept smelling a foul odor and was stopping me dead in my tracks... but then I realized it was just my dog passing gas all night. I hate when she does that while I’m enjoying a movie and some popcorn 🍿. Scary stuff man.

*Finds corpse with face chewed off* "I'm starting to think these weird beasts may be bad news, Phil."

1st story is definitely a skinwalker. Likely the best depiction of a skinwalker i ever heard

[luckysixteen]

Once while hunting with my dad in northern Canada we found ourselves on a random trail that lead to a turn around where there was a small lake. It was completely silent the whole time, silence you could hear…painfully noticeable. When I went to the end of the turn around to take a look at the lake I found an ouija board that had shot gun blasts all through it…still one of the scariest things I ever came across.

[davethm]

the first story reminded me of the "so anyways i started blasting" meme... tbh he should've unloaded the entire magazine

[loganleppek]

This guy could read me a cordless drill operator's manual and i'd still be attentive.

"I got back to my truck unmolested"
😳🤨🤨 "HUH!?"

[gregorrowan]

wow. a narrator who actually seems to have a feel for story telling. This is top notch for the genre. great beats... brief, but relaxed style... just the right amount of enthusiasm. nice voice. seems like you either hit it on the first try, or actually edit the audio. clean noiseless sound. bravo. Liked and subscribed.

I had a weird experience a few months ago on my way home from work. I live in the country and was driving up my hill which is like half a mile up. As I hit the dirt road part I began to feel eyes on me and pulled into my parking spot. Got out with my knife I keep in my glove box and stare hard in the direction of where I felt I was being watched. Making sure my knife was visible I calmly said I know you’re there and for a moment everything went quite couldn’t even hear the nearby waterfall after about 10 seconds of pure silence something moved in the other direction away from me and all the sound returned again. I made sure to calmly go into the house feeling like running would have been a bad idea… haven’t felt anything like that since
