Wendigo is the 2nd episode of Season 1. It aired on September 20, 2005.
Sam and Dean follow the coordinates left in their father's journal and land in the middle of the woods where they investigate the disappearance of several campers. The two brothers soon learn they are dealing with a Wendigo, a creature made famous in Native America legends. A Wendigo is a former human whose cannibalism has transformed him into a cr...
After spending a week in Palo Alto looking for the thing that killed Jessica, Sam and Dean head to Blackwater Ridge and the coordinates their father left in his journal. At the Lost Creek Trail Ranger Station, Ranger Wilkinson mistakes the brothers for friends of Haley Collins, the sister of a boy, Tommy Collins, who went missing while on a camping trip with two friends. On a hunch, Sam and Dean visit Haley, and she shows them the last video Tommy sent her via cellphone before he disappeared. She also informs them that she and her younger brother, Ben Collins, have hired a guide and are headed into the hills to find Tommy the next morning.
Sam does some research and finds that people go missing in Blackwater at regular intervals - every 23 years. He also plays Tommy's last video in slow motion, and he and Dean spot an extremely fast moving shadow on the tent wall. They then go to visit Shaw, a survivor of an alleged bear attack in 1959. The old man tells them that it was not a grizzly that attacked his family, but a creature that was smart enough to unlock the cabin door, roared like no man or animal, and moved like lightning. They go back to Blackwater the next morning and arrive just as Haley, Ben, and their guide, Roy, are setting out for Tommy's campsite. When the group reach the campsite, they find ripped tents and damaged equipment. Screams for help sound in the distance so they all run to investigate, but there is no one there and when they return to the campsite their packs have been taken.
With the help of their father's journal, Sam and Dean realize that they are facing a Wendigo, to Dean's disappointment, as their guns are useless against it. They inform the disbelieving group, and Dean draws Anasazi symbols for protection as they make camp for the night. Sam argues with Dean that he wants to abandon this hunt and search for their father. Dean replies that they have to help others; it is "the family business." Once again, cries for help were heard, and Roy ignores Dean's warnings and runs into the dark with his gun. He is caught by the Wendigo in a tree and disappears.
The next day Sam and Dean explain that Wendigo means 'evil that devours.' They were once human but had become something else when forced to eat human flesh to survive. Tommy may still be alive, as Wendigos hibernate and like to store live food, so they follow the Wendigo's bloody trail, armed with molotovs as the only way to kill a Wendigo is with fire. Eventually, Roy's dead body falls from a tree and the Wendigo appears, which causes everyone to scatter. Haley and Dean are captured by the Wendigo, but Sam and Ben follow a trail of peanut M&M's that Dean has left behind. They eventually find Dean, Haley, and Tommy hanging from the ceiling of an abandoned mine, and cut them loose.
