HORROR ON THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES!
Inspired by a True story After an unforgiving winter in 1879, revelation enters the town of St. Albert in Canada's Northwest Territories. Swift Runner, a respected Cree trapper and former guide for the Northwest Mounted Police out of Fort Saskatchewan, is arrested for the unthinkable: the murder and consumption of his entire family. He denies the charges of cold-blooded killing, claiming his family starved in the bitter winter, and he only resorted to cannibalism after they perished. But while in custody, he speaks of an ancient terror-he claims to be possessed by the wihitikow, the windigo spirit. Dismissing tales of supernatural possession as frontier madness, the NWMP launches a treacherous expedition north toward Athabasca Landing to locate Swift Runner's death camp and uncover the forensic truth. But as the Mounties push deeper into the wilderness, a terrifying influence begins to take hold, and followed by the tortured shrieks of the windigo that is stalking them. This is the unofficial story of that expedition.
