Legend of the Wendigo
The wendigo is a creature that has been present in the folklore of various indigenous cultures for centuries. It is often depicted as an evil spirit or monster, associated with cannibalism and greed. While there are many variations on its appearance and behavior across different tribes, one thing remains consistent: the wendigo represents a warning against selfishness and excess.
The Tooth Fairy
A common myth is that if you lose a tooth and leave it under your pillow, you may awaken to a trade (likely coin or cash). Most of us have woken up at least once to our parents mimicking this, but might not have said anything due to the free money.
