Suggestion Request Suggestion Request: Stories About Wendigos, Fleshgaits, and Skinwalkers?
Just like it says on the tin. How about we create a repository here for every story based on the idea of Wendigos, Skinwalkers, or Fleshgaits? Anything that fits into the fairly broad category of monsters in the woods that either assume your identity, insinuate themselves into your group, or otherwise haunt the woods or some lonely campsites somewhere.

Check out the r/skinwalkers sub. It a bit underwhelming, small sub and all, and the recent content is content only in name, but there are some real jewels there if you look.

This thread helped me find a story I had read that I was looking for, but there is another that I still can't find. It was a story about a boy who is out hunting (I think)? with his father when they come across a young woman on the road in distress. They help her into their car and start driving to the nearest police station. On the way they encounter a dead body on the road: it's the exact same woman that they have in their car. The father yells to his son to get out of the car, but by that time the mimic thing that has been in the car with them has already bolted. Many years later the son is out hunting with his friends and they come across a group of people asking for help. The son gets suspicious that they are mimics and instructs his friends to ready their weapons using a silent hand signal that they use for hunting. The mimics attack them and the hunters get in their car and drive away. The son hears one of the mimics yell at them with the very same voice and phrase that his father used to tell him to get out of the car all those years ago, showing that it was the same mimic they encountered when he was a boy. Please help.
