Wendigo [wen-di-goh] (also known as Windigo)is believed to be human cannibalism (eating human flesh)[from Algonquian: evil spirit or cannibal]. It states here that it is beleived to have started from a hunter who was starving and turned to eating humans becoming a forrest dwelling monster preying on unexpected human beings, and in this trance it is known to be gaining one as his spiritual helper.It's found to be a creature appearing in the mythology of the Algonquian people who are native to northern US and Canada. Austin is from who I learned about the main sourse or reason why people say they get the disorder Wendigo. Random House states that this is found a lot in Indians and in Ojibwa which will cause delusions causing people to eat other humans.
