im begging you all to stop calling all monsters, spirits, and demons with a deer skull for a head a wendigo. the american cryptid you're thinking of is probably the Deer Man, or maybe the Jersey Devil. Wendigos/Windigos/etc. are not cryptids, and don’t even traditionally have deer skulls for heads. wendigos originate from spiritual beliefs held by Algonquian Indigenous peoples, whom are from the north eastern part of north america. so no, if you're some white kid hearing crying in the forests of california you're not being "lured into the forest by a wendigo", its probably someone actually crying, or playing a prank.-- or ghosts. could be ghosts.
