Wendigoon Thread

So how exactly does it make sense for Wendi to be able to stomach looking at gore, coming across CP etc for his "research" on his video topics and shit but then he has a crisis moment when seeing a slightly demonic goat on stream? Even as a believer myself, it doesn't make sense.

I'm particularly confused about how he's able to make the disconnect between "follower of Christ" and "yeah I come across child porn during research and watch gore videos lol". Don't think the Lord would be too keen on that.

Kinda like all the ""trad-caths"" who go on Kiwi Farms and call people nigger faggots

Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that is illuminated becomes a light itself. Ephesians 5:11-13

Praise Jesus and praise the Lord.

I'm not sure what you're confused about. Why is it somehow contradictory for him to get spooked by demonic imagery, but also admit that he comes across gore and cp while he does research? I'm guessing all of it probably bothers him, we just don't see his immediate reaction when he does research because he's not doing it all on stream. He didn't claim to get creeped out by demonic imagery because "Jesus wouldn't approve of it", he just says it bothers him because he has a strong emotional investment in his religious beliefs which makes him especially sensitive to horror stories that play off of religious themes.
 
This case is an interesting one, but the frustrating thing is that there's no new data, so it's just people coming up with their own new speculation.

A lot of younger conspiracy theorists don't remember what the world was like before cell phones. Not just for GPS, but for knowing if somewhere you're going is even open (or if the people you're trying to meet are going to be there). Lou Reed wrote a whole song about how inefficient it could be to score drugs.

Someone from this area made a video explaining how they might have detoured and then gotten back on the wrong similarly-named road.

My mental model is that five slow guys in their 20s-30s would be a lot like five teenage boys; probably a lot of driving around aimlessly on a normal night, and a lot of debate in the car as to whether they should turn around on an unfamiliar road or keep going because they're totally going to get there in a couple of miles.
 
Nigga tried to score some weed and the Special Olympics got caught in the crossfire.

Anyways, I’ve been reading Into Thin Air by the guy who wrote Into the Wild, and I’ve noticed that the way Wendigoon tells stories echoes that methodology. He tells you the main story, then deeply explains a tangential character or event that later adds context once he gets back to the main plot. You see this when he leaves things for later or tells the story of someone else who’s not the main focus, and then ties those details into the larger picture.
I enjoy that method of storytelling because it gives a better view of the circumstances surrounding these events, and it’s just something I noticed.

This case is strange, sure, but I fail to see how it's so terrifying compared to all of the other disappearances out there, including some of the ones he's already covered or discussed elsewhere.
Maybe if you overly emphasize with the the victims situation, but in the end it's not the creepy unexplained mystery or the enraging political corruption mystery. Also feels like the cops helped the coverup.

Felt like a complete pathetic overreaction by Wendigoon to keep stressing how its the scariest disappearance he has ever heard about. He also failed to mention the theory that people kick around a lot about them all being so retarded and rigid in following the rules that even though there were supplies and a way to turn on the heat, they thought they weren't allowed to do it, even if it was an emergency. The belief that stealing is wrong, and eating food that isn't yours is wrong so don't do it ever.

Probably because it doesn't make much sense, since they weren't really retarded (except for maybe the one dude with the low IQ). Especially considering Gary was there at the trailer and he was the smartest one, he would absolutely turn the heat on and they already were eating some of the food. I have to go with Wendi and say they must have been hiding from someone and didn't want to let anyone know there was someone inside the trailer. Even if they were that strict with following the rules I still feel Gary would stop giving a shit once his meds started wearing off and he went back to his old headspace, yet even then he still kept the heat off. Whole thing is weird.

Most of it is an overreaction, but he did transcribe a lot more details then Nexpo ever did, which definitely lends credence to his ideas. With Nexpo's video I'm left thinking they're all just retards who got killed by a schizo. Wendigoon on the other hand leaves me thinking there's way more layers to this cake then what I thought there would be.

Ultimately we will never know the truth, but the little bit of humanity in me likes to hope Gary didn't kill them, but at the worst got them killed trying to do the right thing. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
 
While I do think Wendi was being a bit dramatic with the whole 'scariest disappearance ever' shtick, that was easily the best video I've personally seen on the Yuba Boys.

Every other one I've seen shamelessly over-dramatized it, by either making it out to be a real life slasher flick, where a group of friends were picked off one by one by the schizo in their midst, or a Darwin Award case where a band of low IQ tards got themselves killed by being big dumb-dumbs. So I really appreciated how Wendi went into detail about all of the men and showed that they weren't just a bunch of window lickers, and especially how Gary may well have been treated particularly unfairly by the theory crafting that's gone on in the decades since.

I don't think there's ever a 'tasteful' way to gawk at tragedies, but Wendi definitely gets the closest to it, especially compared to the overly dramatic Tumblr and Reddit fags that make up the rest of SpookTube.
 
I still think the scariest unexplained case he's covered (from what I've seen) was the Khamar Daban Incident. Imagine just having a normal hiking trip when suddenly everyone in your group besides you suddenly drops to the ground screaming, bleeding from every orifice on the head, convulsing, and trying to bash their own heads in all within the span of like five minutes. And then once the carnage is finally over, you're alone in the wilderness, miles from help, with no idea if what overcame your companions will happen to you, too. That's some shit straight out of a Lovecraft novel.

(it was totally residual nerve agents from the Soviet testing years stirred up by the rainstorm, you cannot convince me otherwise)

Good video yeah, but the title is pure clickbait. One would hope the guy is big enough at this point where he can drop the shtick, but I guess every bit of engagement counts.
 
Dont know guys
The part about gary writing self affirmation in the cabin kinda got to me.
The man probably realized and felt his brain was going bad at a very critical time and the fact that he kept up this small ritual of his to be there for his remaining friend after he may or may not have caused the death of three others feels harrowing.

My theory is that the boys saw someone or something they should not have.
Drove up the mountains to escape and the three fell to the elements/ their chaser so the other two were left scared in the cabin.

But the gary wanted weed theory kinda makes sense.
