Hi everyone. this is a small collection of a few ghostly encounters and stories to enjoy on Halloween.

This episode is about the Native Legends of the Wendigo and the Thunderbird. They are fascinating and are backed up with eye witness encounters. I apologize for my pronunciation. It was pretty terrible in some parts. The moral of the story is to not go against the rules of morality. Selfishness and greed will lead you down a dark path. Enjoy!
