What Is a Wendigo?
5. Wendigo Fever
When a wendigo possesses people, it is thought to be a long and horrid process before the victim is eventually possessed. The first thing that the victim will notice is unusual odors that nobody else around them is able to smell. Before long, the victim will also begin to experience some terrible nightmares.

These nightmares will stop them from sleeping and their lack of sleep will contribute to them slowly going mad. Eventually, the victim will develop an overwhelming burning sensation in their legs. Burning up, they will strip down naked and run into the forest, never to be seen again.
