sure provided you don't develop this psychological disorder

"Wendigo Psychosis" (also spelled many other ways, including "windigo psychosis" and "Witiko psychosis") refers to a condition in which sufferers developed an insatiable desire to eat human flesh even when other food sources were readily available,^[15] often as a result of prior famine cannibalism.^[16] Wendigo psychosis has traditionally been identified by Western psychologists as aculture-bound syndrome, though there is a debate over the existence of phenomenon as a genuine disorder. The theory was popular primarily among psychologists in the early 1900s, and may have resulted from a misinterpretation of northern Algonquian myths and culture.^[17]

In accounts of wendigo psychosis, members of the aboriginal communities in which it existed believed that cases literally involved individuals turning into Wendigos. Such individuals generally recognized these symptoms as meaning that they were turning into wendigos, and often requested to be executed before they could harm others.^[18] The most common response when someone began suffering from wendigo psychosis was curing attempts by traditional native healers or Western doctors. In the unusual cases where these attempts failed, and the wendigo began either to threaten those around them or to act violently or anti-socially, they were then generally executed.^[19] Cases of wendigo psychosis, though evidently real, were relatively rare, and it was even rarer for them to actually culminate in the execution of the sufferer.^[19]

One of the more famous cases of wendigo psychosis involved a Plains Cree trapper from Alberta, named Swift Runner.^[20][21] During the winter of 1878, Swift Runner and his family were starving, and his eldest son died. Twenty-five miles away from emergency food supplies at a Hudson's Bay Company post, Swift Runner butchered and ate his wife and five remaining children.^[22] Given that he resorted to cannibalism so near to food supplies, and that he killed and consumed the remains of all those present, it was revealed that Swift Runner's was not a case of pure cannibalism as a last resort to avoid starvation, but rather of a man suffering from wendigo psychosis.^[22] He eventually confessed and was executed by authorities at Fort Saskatchewan.^[23]

Another well-known case involving wendigo psychosis was that of Jack Fiddler, an Oji-Cree chief and shaman known for his powers at defeating Wendigos. In some cases this entailed euthanizingpeople suffering from wendigo psychosis; as a result, in 1907, Fiddler and his brother Joseph were arrested by the Canadian authorities for murder. Jack committed suicide, but Joseph was tried and sentenced to life in prison. He was ultimately granted a pardon, but died three days later in jail before receiving the news of this pardon.^[24]

Fascination with wendigo psychosis among Western ethnographers, psychologists, and anthropologists led to a hotly debated controversy in the 1980s over the historicity of this phenomenon. Some researchers argued that wendigo psychosis was essentially a fabrication, the result of naïve anthropologists taking stories related to them at face value.^[17][25] Others have pointed to a number of credible eyewitness accounts, both by Algonquians and by Westerners, as evidence that Wendigo psychosis was a factual historical phenomenon.^[26]

The frequency of wendigo psychosis cases decreased sharply in the 20th century as Boreal Algonquian people came into greater and greater contact with Western ideologies and more sedentary, less rural lifestyles.^[3] While there is some substantive evidence to suggest that Wendigo psychosis did exist, a number of questions concerning the condition remain unanswered, and there is continuing debate over its nature, significance, and prevalence.

However, returning research into this phenomenon has diminished in recent years, suggesting a number of, still, conflicting conclusions. Many cryptozoologist enthusiasts have accepted this decreased interest as a resolution of the legend, but due to a lack of any verifiable explanation for this psychological phenomenon, the mystery still remains largely unsolved.
