Wendigo of Yorktown, Texas

Thanks to our friend, Izel Vargas, for taking time out of his busy schedule to draw this awesome picture for this wendigo story!

“Wendigos are real. And the one that has been sighted all over Texas is the same one I saw a couple of times. This last time though I saw a clear detailed body and I’ll never forget it’s huge black eyes. I’ve heard its mimicry of dying animals and even my old friend calling for help from the dark forest even though I knew they were home because  I dropped them off at their house and walked home myself. It’s tried to lure me into the woods but I know it’s games. In the winter of 2016, twice in 2018 around the fall months, and again in the new year of 2019.

January 12th, 2019. It was a relatively cold night with slight misting. I circled my whole town cuz it’s pretty small. Coming home I walked by this large patch of woods nobody goes in except me cuz I’m the adventurous type. As I’m coming up to it, with the woods on my right and an old metal building with two small white houses beside it to my left, I see this tall 8-10 foot pale figure briskly walk across the dirt road from one of the houses to the woods about 40 feet in front of me. I know I saw something but ignore it and continue walking forward.

Then this feeling of heaviness and dread washes over me as if I’m being watched. I take out my phone and switch on the light app and keep it aimed at the woods. I turn my head back and forth from the houses to the woods as I’m walking still. About the fifth time, I look back at the woods, there it is. It’s on all fours crouching over but is easily still five feet tall at the shoulder. I’m around 5” feet btw so that’s how I could tell. It was again only about 40 feet away. It had bleached white skin, a bald head, huge black eyes, human face and body except it looked extremely emaciated and it’s armed were like super long twigs.

It started and swayed its body back and forth like a mantis. That’s when I ran as fast as I could. I only looked back after I ran a block. It didn’t chase me but I’m pretty sure it was upset I interrupted its spying session on the people sleeping in those houses. Please be careful in Yorktown, Texas at night. If you’re here I know you’ll believe me and take my advice.” -C.Hranicky
