40: Whispers in the Wilderness & The Bride of the Desert

Jinkies! In today's thrilling episode, Josh and Shane, bring to light two bone-chilling mysteries that span from the cold, whispering forests of North America to the sun-scorched streets of Mexico.

First up, Josh takes us on a harrowing journey into the heart of the wilderness to uncover the ancient legend of the Wendigo. Originating from the folklore of the Algonquian-speaking peoples of North America, the Wendigo is described as a malevolent, cannibalistic spirit that could possess humans and turn them into monstrous creatures driven by an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Josh delves into historical accounts, explores the psychological and environmental factors that may have given rise to such a legend, and recounts eerie stories that claim the Wendigo is more than just a myth.

Then, Shane transports us to the bustling streets of Chihuahua, Mexico, where a mannequin in a bridal shop window has captivated the imagination of locals and tourists alike for decades. La Pascualita, as she's affectionately known, is no ordinary mannequin. Rumors swirl about her eerily lifelike appearance, leading many to believe she may be a perfectly preserved corpse. Shane explores the origins of La Pascualita, the legends of love and tragedy that surround her, and the reasons why this enigmatic figure continues to haunt the dreams of those who gaze upon her.
