The Vanishing Village

[DarkPrincess]

An individual that vanishes is one thing, but how about an entire village of 2,000 men, women and children? In November, 1930, a fur trapper named Joe Labelle made his way on snow shoes to an Eskimo village on the shores of Lake Anjikuni in northern Canada. Labelle was familiar with the village, which he knew as a thriving fishing community of about 2,000 residents. When he arrived, however, the village was deserted. All of the huts and storehouses were vacant. He found one smoldering fire on which there was a pot of blackened stew. Labelle notified the authorities and an investigation was begun, and which turned up some bizarre findings: no footprints of any of the residents were found, if they had vacated the village; all of the Eskimos' sled dogs were found buried under a 12-foot-high snow drift - they had all starved to death; all of the Eskimos' food and provisions were found undisturbed in their huts. And there was one last unnerving discovery: the Eskimos' ancestral graves had been emptied.

WTF?! That is one of the creepiest things I have ever read! Sounds like the Blair Witch meets 30 Days of night or some shit? Where did they all go? I would be so freaking creeped out to even stand in that village!

I've found several sites that swear it's true, but you know how that goes. I'd like to check out RCMP, but I can't get their site to work. lol Could be like Roswell. I think something really happened there and the government covered it up so people don't freak out. Either way it makes for a good story, though it might not belong in the strange but true section.

I'm thinking it was a UFO.

Ever thought that another village came and over ran the village and if the dogs were found in a snow drift dead of starvation then something else happened because a dog even domesticated when faced with starvation would attack and kill even its own kind if not eat an already dead animal.
