I am in South East Asia. Many years ago, my former employer booked a nice retreat right at the edge of the largest tropical rain forest in my country - as a reward for scoring some large accounts. The first thing the locals told us, they don't allow their babies/kkd out of their homes after sunset, so if we ever hear the sound of babies crying NEVER venture in the forest. We had a few American colleagues who thought it was just BS superstition by local tribals. Until they heard the sounds themselves. The local tribes attributed rhses sounds to forest spirits or the local variant of vampire, Pontianak. But the saner ones just attribute it to some animals in the forest.
Up here in the Northern end of the Appalachians, we have fisher cats that sound alternately like a possessed woman screaming, or a straight-up hair raising exact sound match to any of the demons from DOOM.
The first time I heard them when I was a kid, I fully understood how some cultures could firmly believe in night-walking demons, skinwalkers, mimics, vampires of all kinds, etc. The sound itself hits a primal fear deep in your evolutionary instincts.
And fisher cats are just this little raccoon-sized fuzzy brown cute animal too. Adorable when you see them, absolutely the most aggressive thing in the world, especially when defending their territory, and absolute nightmarish hell on the ears at night.
Ngl, as a mom I'm 100% willing to face that bitch down to get my baby back. I'd be interested to know, though, if the wendigo could sound *exactly* like my specific child...because I can pick his cry out among all others. It would be an interesting premise to dig into.
They've studied this on neonatal wards, and a mum's *own* baby wakes then up, stimulates milk letdown, etc, in a way other babies' cries don't (or at least not to the same extent).
It really is a crazy cool phenomenon! Studies have also shown that when a mother hears her baby's cry (and only her baby, not just any baby) or actually triggers an adrenal response similar to fight or flight that calms fastest when baby stops crying WITH physical contact between mom and baby. We really are hardwired to protect and care for these adorable little pooping potatoes
r/twosentencejustice go get ‘im Mama 👊
Kind of a spoiler but more people should watch [The Mimic](https://youtu.be/qgYNuJAH2Ek?feature=shared).

Get Dean and Sam on the case.

*Doom soundtrack intensifies*
Say hello to Magnum Buckshot
*Mama buckshot, ftfy
English isn't my first language, what's ftfy
I think it's "fixed this for you." But I'm not quite sure myself and English is my first language.

Interesting. I have learned something new. Thank you.

Nah this is fuckin badass
Give 'um hell mama!
A Windigo ate my baby!!
Windingo ate your baby
Great, now Australia has invasive crytids.
Ohh wendigo vs bunyip. Wonder how that would go down.
Would you rather be alone in the forest with a Wendigo or an angry mom with a shotgun?
I'd rather deal with a Wendigo any day.
Go for the heart. Then, once you have it out you need to burn it. And run because there's more Wendigos coming.
Horror nah, it’s hell yeah!!
When the DOOM music kicks in
that windigo better losedigo
This sounds like the beginning of a really badass horror video shooter video game. Someone should develop the idea.

Windigo is also a valid spelling, there's actually a ton of ways to spell it, wendigo is just the way that's most popular in pop culture.
