Cannibalism Stories

There are stories of the supernatural effects that eating other humans can have on a person. The most common name for these creatures among native americans is one we already know from popular culture. They are the wendigo, a creature that was once human, but had been transformed by their hunger for human flesh into a monster that can't ever be satisfied. In cree mythology, though, the w endigo was simply a human who had become possessed by an evil spirit. It would take over and then turn its hunger and hatred toward the people around it. There was no hope for those who were transformed into man eating creatures. There was only one solution available.
