The Female Villains Wiki

Gail Mitchell (Ingrid Veninger) was the hidden main villainess from "Wendigo," episode 4.19 of PSI Factor (airdate April 29, 2000). She was one of three OSIR members who went out into the woods in Manitoba investigating what was believed to be a werewolf case.

In actuality, Gail and her colleagues, Gary Watson and Brett Watterson ended up involved in a case involving a wendigo, and their encounter with the wendigo ended up with Gail being bitten by a male wendigo. She ended up becoming one herself, and she embraced her cannibalistic urges by killing Gary and devouring his innards.

Gail was found covered in blood by colleagues Peter Axon and Lindsay Donner, and she portrayed herself as a victim of the wendigo, who she claimed was Brett. After Brett was also found covered in blood, even he was convinced that he was the wendigo, allowing Gail to continue her villainous deception. After Gail freed Brett from being tied up, Brett attacked and bit Peter, believing to have passed the curse to him. Later that night, the duo had Peter subdued with plans to kill him and burn the body, but after Brett left, Gail revealed herself as the wendigo to Peter.

In her villainous reveal, the evil Gail boasted about how good she felt as the wendigo, and revealed her evil plan to kill not only Peter, but Brett and Lindsay, while claiming to have been saved from the wendigo. Gail continued her manipulation of Brett and prepared to kill both him and Peter; brandishing a crazed and evil grin while doing so. Lindsay finally arrived at the scene and convinced Gail to give her the gun and let her kill Brett and Peter, but after Gail does so, Lindsay turns around and shoots Gail to death--as she had seen the video footage and learned that Gail is a wendigo.
