One common element is the idea of transformation. Like the Wendigo which was once human but turned into a terrifying creature. Also, moral lessons are common. The Ojibwe scary stories often teach about the consequences of bad behavior. For example, greed leading to the creation of the Wendigo. And the use of the natural environment to create an eerie atmosphere is very typical. The isolation of the forest or the mystery of the lake adds to the scariness.
