6 thoughts on “Wendigo of Yorktown, Texas

  1. So glad I came across this story. I spent years not believing what I saw just outside of Yorktown heading towards Smiley.

    Late one evening my guest and I were traveling to my grandmother’s ranch. Dark and foggy (yes an eerily perfect setting), we were chatting whilst intently watching the narrow two lane road – deer can be a hazard. As we approached a road sign, I realized there was a figure standing directly in front of it. Being dark and a slight fog, I wasn’t able to see much detail.

    It was very tall (standing much taller than the sign), slender, and appeared multicolored. Best of all it was noticed by my passenger. Our conversation abruptly stopped. We were completely silent, until I asked if she saw what I had. She did, niether of us wanted to turn around.

    The next morning my brother arrived at grandmother’s ranch. He walked in and joined us for coffee. Bothered, he asked me if I had noticed anything when I drove up the night before. He saw the creature on the same stretch of road, and like me didn’t turn around. Together, yes strength in numbers, we went to look. The mid morning sun was bright, and whatever we had saw was gone.

  2. I would like to investigate.
    Where is the location or how can I find this forest area, that you saw this wendigo or skinwalker?

  3. Interesting and compelling story, and I don’t doubt it, such creatures or entities are out there in the woods. That said, I am not so sure the term “wendigo” is the right term.
    People bandy about the terms “wendigo” and “skinwalker” a bit too much lately.
    These terms have specific meanings, and are tied to the lore of specific regions and cultures. Very often what people describe out in the woods and on lonely roadways sound like they are actually encountering a wholly different sort of entity.
    I would encourage everyone to actually look up the terms “wendigo” and “skinwalker” and see for themselves.
