In today's episode we cover one of the most creepy creatures we have ever discussed. The Beaver people believe in these giant animals that are all man eaters. These people  go on vision quests and they gain one of these man eating spirit animals. What could happen next may seem like a bad dream, but is it?  The Wechuge is a man-eating creature or evil spirit appearing in the legends of the Athabaskan people. In Beaver (Dane-zaa) mythology, it is said to be a person who has been possessed or overwhelmed by the power of one of the ancient giant spirit animals—related to becoming "too strong". These giant animals were crafty, intelligent, powerful and somehow retained their power despite being transformed into the normal-sized animals of the present day.
