Wendigo

yes, haven't really seen in her a while. Though, I guess I haven't been on much lately either.

The only time I've ever heard of a Wendigo was from a story in Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark I don't remember what volume it was, but the story scared the s*** out of me because the Wendigo picked up the person and dragged them across the snow until they only had stumps for feet.

We have a similar legend here in the northwest, of a ghost/man named Bukwis.
He is associated with the spirits of those that have drowned.
It is said that if you are walking in the woods and hear the sound of running water, that it is Bukwis come to lure you to his invisible home in the woods. He is also said to make the sound of a stick banging on a rock to lure people. If he offers you food do not take it, as sharing his food will make you just like him.
