CooWee Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Clever man, patient one too. Impressive looking piece of work. Talking of dragons in Norfolk, years ago there was a film, I think starring Dana Andrews and I think called 'Night of the Dragon'. My late brother-in-law, a Norfolk man through and through said that, that sort of thing in Norfolk was called a 'Windiego', my spelling is suspect here, but have any of you local types heard of this.

KeithHi Keith,The film you mentioned was called "Night of the Demon" staring Dana Andrews, a 1957 budget but classic film that was based on the casting of the runes by a satanic cult. I remember the demon that chases the runes victim as their time runs out. It looked like a steam driven dragon chasing its victim down a tree lined road.Sadly I have not heard of the term 'Windiego'RegardsAlan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooWee Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Morning each, Yesterday evening I did what I should have done in the first place and Googled it and here is a result. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendigo Well if there are some in Norfolk, I am never going to wild moor again. Hi Alan, "It looked like a steam driven dragon chasing its victim down a tree lined road." And from memory it sounded like someone had forgotten to oil it.
