HORROR ON THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES!

Inspired by a true story of murder and cannibalism on Canada's frontierAfter an unforgiving winter in 1879, revelation enters the town of St. Albert in Canada's Northwest Territories. Swift Runner, a respected Cree trapper and former guide for the Northwest Mounted Police out of Fort Saskatchewan, is arrested for the unthinkable: the murder and consumption of his entire family. He denies the charges of cold-blooded killing, claiming his family starved in the bitter winter, and he only resorted to cannibalism after they perished.But while in custody, he speaks of an ancient terror-he claims to be possessed by the wihitikow, the windigo spirit.Dismissing tales of supernatural possession as frontier madness, the NWMP launches a treacherous expedition north toward Athabasca Landing to locate Swift Runner's death camp and uncover the forensic truth. But as the Mounties push deeper into the wilderness, a terrifying influence begins to take hold. Followed by that, the tortured shrieks of the windigo that is stalking them.This is the unofficial story of that expedition.

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.
