Think you know fear? Imagine camping under the starry Nova Scotia sky when an enigmatic howl slices through the tranquility. The episode takes you to the heart of Dagger Woods, home of the chilling legend of Hidey Hinder, fondly known as Dagger Woods Howler. Journey with us as we uncover the haunting tale of a family whose serene camping trip spirals into a nightmarish encounter with the eerie howl of Hidey Hinder, and how a simple family heirloom becomes a beacon of hope in the face of unruly terror.

Can you feel the thrill of picking the juiciest blueberries while a cryptic danger lurks in the woods? Meet Saundra, a fearless woman who does just that! Get acquainted with Hidey Hinder's strange howls, and wonder if this enigma could be a skin-walker, a Wendigo, or an ancient spirit that has transcended time. The episode takes an intriguing turn as we compare the Hidey Hinder's origin story with that of Swift Runner, the man who claimed Wendigo possession. So, brace yourself as we traverse the line where history, legend, and horror intertwine, painting a chilling narrative of Dagger Woods and its enigmatic inhabitant.

Again, a major thank you to one of my favourite band's (and one from down Home in Nova Scotia at that) The Stanfields, for lending me their song Dagger Woods from their 2010 debut album, Vanguard of the Young and Reckless, to tie in with today's episode.
