In this book Campbell's unique perspectives examine the world's complex and interwoven mythology, folklore and religion, providing an understanding of the essence and genesis of humanness.

The date on Jessica's, Sam's girlfriend, tombstone said November 2, 2005 as the day she died. That is the same date that Sam's mother died by the same spirit 22 years prior.

Webmasters' Thoughts

Hoppy says, "I'm not a huge fan of the Wendigo part of the plot, but once we do actually see the Wendigo, it is an effectively creepy monster.  The great parts of this episode are the little things, such as Dean thinking that M&Ms are "provisions" and then later using them to provide a trail that Sam can follow.  I also love Dean baiting the Wendigo, it always makes me laugh.  The important part of this episode is the continued development of both Sam and Dean, as Sam starts to understand why it's important for them to do what they do, even when they aren't tracking down the thing that killed their mother."

Jen says, "Nothing yet!"
