I know it's hard for Zoomers to accept but no one knew what this thing was before 2018 and people definitely didn't have stories about seeing them in the 90's
>>37751769It was popular enough to be in mainstream media way before 2018 and for me to know about it not being an american.
>>37751777No one pretended it was real or acted like everyone always knew what it was
>>37751835Well anon that's not a sasquatch cryptid, the wendigo is part of native folklore, one of the most famous pieces at that. At some point these things are turned into "sightings" or whatnot but the legend is older than your ancestors and it's been used as a piece of folklore in film and literature for decades, so it's "always" been pretty well known.
