Hello everybody,

I just thought you might be interested in what I found out about
the alleged disappearance of the village at Lake Anjikuni, Canada in
1930.

I checked with the RCMP about this and they were kind enough to
refer my question to their historian. This is what she told me:

The story is not true.

It apparently began in the 1950's with the American writer Frank
Edwards, and has achieved a certain "cult" status. I have written
to a few websites that have posted the story to tell them what I
have found out from the RCMP and have yet to get a response from any
of them. And the story is still out there. I suppose the lesson to
be learned is that some people are reluctant to let the truth stand
in the way of a good story.

And it is a good story. It just is not true.

Best regards, Gary Overman
