    I really enjoy the background music, it sets the mood of the story perfectly. I do believe there is some truth to old folklore stories, all though some may have embellished parts. There is always a once of truth. Honor was valued back in those days, to be labeled crazy carried consequences. I often thought of a possible Portal to a another dimension, in which these things could exist and then disappear.

    This could EASILY be made into a movie....a series of Loup-Garou themed yarns presented as vignettes, all told by the various characters of the first story, set against the backdrop of their own struggle against that group of Loup_Garou over the night of Christmas eve. It could be an awesome Christmas horror movie!......and with a twist ending of course (maybe the old trapper or the sergeant could be a werewolf, setting them all up to be munched by his friends outside the fort walls). I could imagine it having a similar feel to that classic cannibal horror movie with Guy Pierce from the 1990's, 'Ravenous' (which is a must watch if you love that pioneers and military in the wilderness type film)

    OMG, it's been decades since i've heard the term 'Loup Garo', don't even remember where i first ran into the term but seem to have it associated with Cajun lore from Louisiana here in the US. A vengeful Canadian Indian female Loup Garo, eeeep!
    Gotta say, these are three of the very best spooky tales i've ever heard and i've been around a while.

      Skua or Squa is an effeminate suffix in the Algonquin language. The spelling isn't particularly critical in my opinion because the Algonquin had no alphabet or written language. Pronunciation is another matter. It is in no way derogatory. It is merely a suffix inferring the effeminate.
      Anyone can use any word in a derogatory fashion. Let's not allow that to ban legitimate vocabulary in some disingenuous witch hunt founded in ignorance.
