An Eskimo Village that Vanished

Every year, over one million people go missing in the United States alone. Some
of the disappearances are mundane, like the teenage runaway, but there are so
many baffling cases of people disappearing literally into thin air, as in the
following true story, which has been thoroughly investigated over the years.

In November 1930, Joe Labelle, a Canadian fur trapper, snow shoed into a
thriving Eskimo fishing village situated on the shores of Lake Anjikuni in
Canada. Labelle was greeted with an eerie silence. He thought this was very
strange because the fishing village was a noisy settlement with 2,000 Eskimos
milling back and forth to their kayaks. But there wasn't a soul about. Labelle
visited each of the Eskimo huts and fish storehouses but none of the villagers
was anywhere to be seen. Labelle saw a flickering fire in the distance and
approached it gingerly, sensing something evil was afoot on this moonlit night.

Upon the fire was a smouldering pot of blackened stew. To make matters more
mysterious, Labelle saw that not a single human track had left the settlement.
Labelle knew something bizarre had happened to the 2,000 people, and so he ran
non-stop to the nearest telegraph office and sent a message about his findings
to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The mounties turned up hours later, and they too were baffled by the mass
vanishing act. An enormous search party was sent out to look for the missing
villagers, but they were never found, and the search party unearthed some
strange findings. All the sleigh dogs that had belonged to the Eskimos were
found buried 12 feet under a snowdrift at the perimeter of the camp. All of them
had starved to death.

The search party also established that all the Eskimos' provisions and food had
been left in their huts, which didn't make any sense at all. Then came the most
chilling surprise of all; the search party discovered that all of the Eskimos'
ancestral graves were empty. Whoever or whatever had taken all the living
villagers had also dug up the dead as well, even though the icy ground around
the graves was as hard as iron.

Later, on that unearthly silent night the mounties watched in awe as a strange
blue glow lit up the horizon. The eerie radiance was not the northern lights,
but seemed steady and artificial. As the mounties watched, the light pulsated
then faded.

All the newspapers of the world reported the baffling disappearance of the 2,000
Eskimos, although many believed that a rational explanation would eventually
come to light, but the Anjikuni mass disappearance is still unsolved.

Subject: [Paranormal Ireland] Lake Anjikuni mystery


For some time, I have attempted to find a contemporary article,
dealing with the mass disappearance at the Canadian Eskimo village,
near Lake Anjikuni in November of 1930. I have been unsucessful, and
I would be grateful if you could list any newspaper articles of the
time, which refer to this mystery.
