"The Wendigo" isn't only a story in the first installment of the series, but it's also based on actual Native American lore. In this version, a hunter wants to go hunting where people rarely go. No one wants to help him until he finds a man desperate for money, DeFago. They go off into the woods together, and on the third night there's a huge windstorm. Something begins calling out to DeFago, who's crouched in a corner of the tent. After it becomes too much, he runs out of the tent and into the woods, soon shouting, "Oh, my fiery feet! My burning feet of fire!" The hunter, unable to figure out what happened to his companion, returns to the village where the people mention the Wendigo. Apparently, it "comes with the wind" and drags you along so fast, your feet begin to burn away. Ouch.
