A TALE OF HORROR ON THE PRAIRIES!
In the Spring of 1879, a Cree Trapper, formerly employed by the Northwest Mounted Police from Fort Saskatchewan, was alleged to have murdered all eight members of his family and dined on their flesh.
The trapper's Cree name was Ka ki si Kutchin. English translation: Swift Runner.
After his arrest, Swift Runner denies the charges, saying his family starved to death, and tells them he had eaten their flesh only after they had perished. While in custody, Swift Runner claims to be afflicted by the 'wihitikow' also known as windigo, an indigenous spirit said to possess and turn its victims homicidal and cannibalistic.
Unconvinced of the story, the NWMP launches an expedition to Athabasca Landing to find Swift Runner's death camp.
As the expedition pushes north, the prisoner's condition casts a growing shadow over the group, and in the distance, they hear the tormented shrieks of the windigo stalking them.
This is the unofficial story of that expedition.
