  1. Village that Disappeared is a hoax
    Sorry 🙂

    The story about the disappearance in the 1930’s of an Inuit village near Lake Anjikuni is not true. An American author by the name of Frank Edwards is purported to have started this story in his book Stranger than Science. It has become a popular piece of journalism, repeatedly published and referred to in books and magazines.

    There is no evidence however to support such a story. A village with such a large population would not have existed in such a remote area of the Northwest Territories (62 degrees north and 100 degrees west, about 100 km west of Eskimo Point).

    Furthermore, the Mounted Police who patrolled the area recorded no untoward events of any kind and neither did local trappers or missionaries.

    1. hmmm
      purported…
      would be nice to get some sort of yes no on that one, saying purported is as good as saying the story is purported to have happened and quoting the original again.

      A statistical search on the internet suggests that missing persons reports in the US vary between 750,000 to a million yearly, with the vast majority of missing being children. For example, the total number of missing people reported in 1999 was 867,129.

      1. I think the site itself, the
        I think the site itself, the Canadian Royal Mounted Police carries enough weight to regard it as truthworthy.

        Especially considering the reliability of the sites that push the story….

        Heh, your own link disproves the story and shows it as a fake as well.

      2. missing children
        I read a few years ago that the vast majority of “missing” children were “abducted” by one of their parents. The parent who did not get custody after a divorce.

        As opposed to being abducted by some kidnapper who eats little children.

        2 is not equal to 3 – not even for large values of 2
