Mysterious Villagers, Metal Alien Spheres and A Lost Island: 5 Unsolved Mysteries of the Arctic
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- In the unforgiving wilderness of northern Canada, where the howling winds speak more often than humans, the vanishing of an entire village is more than a mystery; it's an unspoken terror that befell Lake Angikuni. This bizarre event, lost in the snowy expanses and the passage of time, remains one of the most haunting mysteries of the early 20th century.
The story unfolds in a time when the harsh, icy landscapes of northern Canada were a frontier of both danger and opportunity. It was an era where fur trappers, braving the relentless cold, forged a symbiotic relationship with the native Inuit inhabitants.
Among these trappers was Joe Labelle, a seasoned wanderer of the wilds, known for his respectful dealings with the Inuit people. Labelle, with his deep knowledge of the land and its secrets, had become as much a part of this frozen world as the Inuit themselves.
However, in 1930, something profoundly unsettling occurred. Labelle arrived at Lake Angikuni, expecting the familiar warmth of the small village he had visited many times. Instead, he was greeted by a silence that gripped his heart-a village eerily deserted, its dwellings standing like hollow sentinels in the endless white.
The air was biting cold, and the only sound was the distant creaking of ice. Food lay abandoned over fires, now nothing but charred remains and smoldering embers. A palpable sense of sudden departure hung over the place, as if the villagers had been snatched away by the wind itself.
Labelle's discovery of seven sled dogs, starved and buried under the snow, only deepened the mystery. He found personal belongings, untouched food supplies, and a desecrated grave, its contents disturbed by human hands.
This chilling scene prompted an immediate investigation by the Mounted Police. Yet, despite their efforts, not a single trace of the missing villagers was found. In some accounts, during their search, the officers reported seeing a distant, pulsating blue light in the sky-perhaps the northern lights, or perhaps a clue to the villagers' fate.
The incident exploded in the Canadian press, with newspapers estimating that 25 villagers, including children, had disappeared without a trace. This inexplicable event captured the public's imagination, spawning a myriad of theories ranging from the plausible to the outlandish.
However, skepticism also surfaced. One Sergeant expressed doubts about the existence of such a village and questioned Labelle's familiarity with the locals, noting that he had only recently obtained his first trapping license.
In contemporary times, the modern Mounted Police dismiss the story as an urban legend, arguing that a settlement of such size in such a remote location was implausible. Yet, the tale of the vanishing Lake Angikuni village lives on, fueled by anecdotal evidence and inspiring theories of alien visitation and other extraordinary phenomena...
"You had to eat the leather of your shoes to survive on a previous expedition - wanna go again?"
"Sure." 🤨👈
People gave them millions of dollars, did they even go?
My neighbour is the scientist who discovered cannibalism on the Franklin expedition from examining remains.
That's dope. Is he a regular scientist or one of those weird one's that only studies 1 thing...like cannibalism?🤨
Wow
You mean she WAS your neighbor
My neighbor said he invented the question mark.
My neighbor invented expeditions
I've known this channel over 10 years now...such nostalgia, and I remember the music and not narrating.
EDIT: I did not expect to see inuit, my people!! (Yes I'm an inuk.)
Greetings from Piney Flats TN. United States of America !!🇺🇸. I’ve been around here for probably that long !!
@@Oldnoitall greetings from Canada, Great to hear from neighboring countries!!
I'm from the UK and it's nice to see that other people have been around since before the narration. I'm so glad he started speaking 😂
@@slayingroosters4355 yea
Me too brother
As an inuk from the Canadian arctic I am impressed at how accurate most of this was. Great content, you keep doing you bro
Another inuk, great!! And I'm amazed to see one in dark5's comment section
@@ITJoshie inuit, to be exact. And inuk means one and inuit means many.
Lol....... I bet he's "First Nations"
@gravyd316 I am from the east part of Nunavut. In the baffin island
You didnt correct how he saying a word. You not inuk hahahahahah
I attended a symposium on the Franklin expedition after visiting the exhibit here at the Anchorage Museum. It was interesting to see how the local Inuit people had repurposed many of the items discarded by the expedition. Knowing that the Inuit don’t work metal, it was fascinating to see blades made out of old tin cans, etc. many of these items had been passed down in families for generations.
Just shows how wasteful and shamefully so most are today.
Our trash is even a modern marvel
But we’re not happy with it😢
@@fastinradfordable In the same way we use plastic and tin to store and transport goods, the ancient times used clay pots, of different shapes, and sizes, afterward all these pots were thrown in the trash... broken to pieces... now we have archeologists studying them, and showing them in museums... we pay good money to go and see restored olive, wine, oil, etc ''packages''... (other people's trash...! )
another arctic mystery you should check out is The Headless Valley in the Nahanni valley in The Northwest Territories in Canada
Truth!!!
That whole thing is nuts!
Very interesting and whoa
Yeah that one is creepy AF 😮
Please tell us more I've not time to research it lol
I’m kinda leaning to the ping being related to the military.
It was/is. My cousin lives where it happened and it was either them or the mines. More towards the mines so as to mine our land. We try our best mot to let the mines mess up nature/hunting. Was around the time mary river mine was expanding or opening.
Anytime i hear about a town of people suddenly dying off overnight and a lake is involved, it makes me think about that tregedy where all that CO2 bubbled up from the lake bed and wormed its way thru the valley, seeping thru the town, and suffocating every occupant of the town except for one person. Tragic..
The "ping" was obviously US submarines using or testing anew sonar system. That fact would be HIGHLY classified and the Canadian government would have to say they "found nothing". The fact that the sound stopped shortly after their involvement is no coincidence, not quite proof, but ...
Maybe or maybe not. The Ping could be from a Russian or Chinese submarine.
Possibly, but then why did they stop when they did, and we would have blamed them. @@kingbullyrock8739
Definitely something that smells like "Cold War stuff"
The only person who hears a sonar ping is the sonar operater. If you aren't listening with headphones , no one can hear the ping
That sounds like quite the theory.
It's not a real lost expedition until the cannibalism commences
"Dear, read the map!"
"I don't need no map!"
"Dear, we're hopelessly lost!"
"Are the children ready?"
Om nom nom nom!
@@backalleycqc4790"they just need a little salt and pepper"
@@rat_king2801 "Not too much salt, the doctor said I had to cut down."
@@backalleycqc4790 😂👍
I'm surprised you didn't mention the airship Italia. They were trying to reach the North Pole in it and ended up crashing along the way. This caused the gondola to detach from the rest of it, and the only survivors of the expedition were in the gondola. They had quite the ordeal before they were rescued. Meanwhile, there were crew members still in the main hull of the airship who had no way to control it without the gondola, and having been relieved of this weight, the hull shot up into the air and was at the mercy of the Arctic winds.
Never heard of that one before, sounds wild but definitely like something someone would try. 1900s?
1920s
Roald admunsen disappeared in that airship
The narrators other channel Dark Docs has a video about that.
@@JeremiahWolfe-tz6gk im afraid not, he went missing in an airplane hunting for the Italia
Linda Moulton Howe has an account of a largish group of Antarctic scientists who disappeared for a long period of time, then reappeared later but would not could not communicate with the plane drivers picking them up. They were quickly evacuated from Antarctica by US authorities.
How would cannibalism surprise anyone when they were freezing and starving. Why do people even do this stuff?? Go to freezing cold areas, then get surprised by reality.
All you can eat buffet...
Most of these can be explained by three things; Aliens, the CIA and those Darn MAGAS
Yes ,make alien great again 👽👽👽👽👽👽👽
Build a space wall !!
The first two are one and the same.
Sometimes i wonder if the RCMP do anything besides cover up / ignore / deny disappearances / murders.
Look up Starlight Tours. I don’t put anything past Canadian police now.
I wonder what they were thinking when they named the two ship, Erebus and Terror.
The show they made about the Terror, while obviously a lot of it fictionalized because they literally don't know what occurred between certain events that they found the records of, was really good. I forget where I listened to it, but there were a couple channels that did long versions of the Terror and Erebus, if the fictional show did maintain accuracy where they could, it's freaky just how far away from each other they actually were, and how all those men just literally vanished into the frozen wastes
I’m curious what Franklin was thinking making his ship Erebus and Terror? Common belief was many of the crew succumbed to lead poisoning from the canned food.
If you want to see pictures , there are photos of some of the crew they found. You can google them.
The land will remain cursed until the remains of John Franklin are removed? That's a new one for this life-long resident of the Territory.
LAKE ANJUKINI NEVER HAPPENED. ITS BEEN DISPROVEN AT LEAST 100X
Urban myth, alot of these incidents are, but Don't let it get in the way of a good story, not that i don't doubt there are many mysterious incidents out there
Yeah, inuit know they were integrated into coastal comunnities. The yhite guy just exxagerated when he found the camp empty. Every REAL INUIT know the stories lol
Someone call Jodie Foster because we’re in the Night Country now.
I lost my punarny once - but I soon found it again.
Video was posted 5 mins ago. People commenting "Great Video" after 3 mins. Video is almost 15 mins long. You didnt watch it. Lyin people
It's because they know it is going to be good!
And you care…
Even worse are the morons who have to declare, " first."
Ha ha ha ha you go get em.
Those darn Aliens
"Some things you can't find out; but you will never know you can't by guessing and supposing; no, you have to be patient and go on experimenting until you find out that you can't find out. And it is delightful to have it that way, it makes the world so interesting. If there wasn't anything to find out, it would be dull. Even trying to find out and not finding out is just as interesting as trying to find out and finding out, and I don't know but more so."
- Mark Twain
theres a gas well i know of thats in a valley and usually its fine, but on very still days where theres no wind and cold H2S collects in the valley and itll kill things in the valley, completely smell less. theres been a few deaths there kind of crazy...
“Hollow sentinels.” I love your writing.
THE AURORA IS CALLED THE ANGELS HELM
First one is hogwash
As a real inuit that lives close, youre right.
your scripts are always so beautifully written ✨
I think if you read a little slower, it would be better
"The Ping" story immediately reminds me of this current season of True Detective on HBO. Thus far, almost everything the narrator described (the artic cold, missing animals, etc.) has happened on the show. Makes me wonder if the writers heard about this story. 🤔 Great video as usual! 😉
The new season of True Detective sucks A$$
Kingbullyrock: Right? I mean, they made things up as they went along with production. I couldn’t finish it.
I take my hat off to these people who live in a cold place like this and survive, I couldn't do it, but smthg weird happened to these folks; the planet was alot different back then 😮!
I don't believe u were wearing a hat.
Wasnt the first story debunked?
I found you when you had a worse robot voice just did quick synopsis with a theme like the top ten lists
These longform thingies youre doing are pretty cool though
More engaging, like, i feel like i can sit back with a drink and just learn some creepy cool stuff. Its nice
Superb as always. I Thank you
You should look into the arctic mystery of where all the road graders disappeared from my town. One day they were clearing the roads like always, the next, poof.. gone, never to be seen again. This happened right around the time the city manager promised that if the graders pile up a snowbank blocking your driveway they'll clear it for you, no charge. Now they use trucks with grader blades.
That’s weird
The missing village is creepy and heartbreaking. Sent chills down the spine.
Somehow aliens doesn’t seem all that far fetched for me…
@@72tadrian65so aliens are Evil!?
@@72tadrian65 Of course. Aliens are well known to travel across the galaxies to prey on small villages or to steal livestock one animal at a time. Give 'em another hundred years of snatching specimens for their labs and they'll surely learn something about human anatomy and medicine. btw, their skin must be tougher than our as alien skeletons are usually found with lips intact. 🙂
@@72tadrian65😂😂😂😂 oooooooookkkkk
They believe you shouldn’t whistle at the northern lights because they will take you away
OMG! You mean something went wrong with The Terror!?!?
What a shocker!
I cooked a couple pork tenderloins in my crockpot, the story of the captain eating his shoes leather made me think of this.
I love the way they keep mentioning Canada. But they never mention the US presence at that time prior to the disappearance of the village. They *Never* do.
Too much sulfur is what killed the animals, a fate similar to bisons and elk that congregate during frigid temperatures at geothermal springs in Yellowstone.
Hasnt that lake angikuni thing been disproven/proven to be complete bs?
I have heard the first story most likely never happened.
That’s because trudolf is owned by WEF and ccp.. there’s your ping
Humans need to become more open to the idea of historical purposeful genocidal eradication for land ownership.
How many razed villages do you all need to ghost spooky stories about ??
Those poor dogs. This tells me that whatever took those people were not kind and caring. Sounds like Aliens to me. Who else would take the corpses of the village but leave the dogs to starve and die ? 😢
Love this channel but O don’t know why some narrators put so much into developing a style or sound ABOVE being understood.
The choppy, rushed performance here helps the mood, but that’s not needed - the material alone does that LOL!
Again, good stuff here, but the pause-then-spill narration is tiring and sometimes garbles words together.
i believe the first story was proven to be just a story to sell a newspaper
Have never seen a rise through the ranks (my own bias very unofficial ranking system) like you Mr Dark5. The only Chanel I look forward to more is history for granite and that's only because he's about to Crack a case!! You are crushing it
I would like to request you to say your words a bit slowly, slowly please. You do pause between words but you say the words (each single word) too fast. Your followers are global - so make allowances for differences in English accent.
Otherwise, your content is great and intriguing.
This region intrigues me very much
They've found parts of the Franklin expedition recently. Bits & pieces, & one of the ships if I recall
They found both ships
I've been enjoying your videos for years & years, it never gets old. Thanks for always coming up with original & interesting content. 🙌
Why is the Franklin Expedition still listed S. Mystery? We have known since the 1850s that they died in the snow.
love this guys voice,so unique
I've been told it is an AI robot 🤖 voice, makes sense. The way it pronounces "chassis" and other ones here and there
Listen to it at .75 audio speed sounds like night and day 😂
Just in time for True Detective Night Country.

no trres in numavut
They were turned into food by there neighbors for there neighbors
Absolutely heartbreakin about the lose of all those dear people
Which of the billions and billions and billions of strangers deaths do you find most tragic?
Another great video! Thanks!
My guess is that when any government is involved truth has not the chance to experiance daylight.

@@iHaveTheDocumentshaha I was wondering if I was the only one picking up on that.
Eating your shoes leather is a sensationalized y’all tale to aid in survival 🥶
Eating shoe leather is hard to comprehend. I doubt that it has any nutritional value. Does anyone else have any knowledge of how nutritional it may be?
Bit fishy taste, nice bit of sole & (h)eel
@@glenmorgan4597 oh man, I've tried it since then and it doesn't have a fishy taste at all.
Uses "comprises" correctly? Clearly an intelligent channel. In all seriousness, great video. They just keep getting better and better.
Using words correctly is the baseline, not a sign of high intelligence.
A bit creepy

Of course it was aliens. Undoubtedly it was aliens. Because after you travel halfway across the galaxy all you're interested in is the most primitive or the most illiterate. Gotta get some seal meat for the trip home or probe toothless Cletus.
Anything escorted by anything or anyone named Erebus is doomed from the start.

Ah, yes, red arrows pointing at things in the thumbnail. You just know it's going to be a garbage video.
This channel just regurgitates any tale. Fact checking be damned.
Avalanches. Alien interference is a bit of a reach but hey I’m just a realist…
Though your topics are interesting the way you narrate is not natural and is aiming to impress but it's not smooth and easy to understand you
So the last story is a series i believe you can watch it is quite interesting .
Awesome show thanks 😊

In 1988, the Australian Skeptics contacted the RCMP historian, S. W. Horrall, who wrote:
Many years ago the members (of RCMP), then retired, who had served in the area at the time these events were purported to have happened (1930) were asked for their comments on the story. They could not confirm it, recalled nothing like it, and were astounded that such a ridiculous tale could be believed. Our files were carefully searched. No strange craft was ever reported. No one named Joe Labelle ever came to the RCMP in panic about Lake Anjikuni. The RCMP did not send out any search parties. The only records we have on the story are copies of letters to correspondents like yourself informing the writers that the story is entirely fictitious.
Thanks strange how stories get so confluted
Not impressed. Not just accepting any account, but you are citing a single source, decades later, and solicited by self-described sceptics. I note none of those "...members (of RCMP)...in the area at the time..." are named. Bias is bias, and academics are not immune.
@@scallopohare9431 type of kayaks described were wrong for region
clothing described as being found in village were wrong for region
Labelle reported sealskin garments
Caribou hide would have been used by people in this area average temperature on 13 degrees below zero in November
lake would be solid
Labelle could not have arrived by kayak or found kayaks being "battered by wave action" as he reported RCMP claim the story started with Frank Edwards and his 1959 book Stranger Than Fiction It is unlikely that anyone lived near Anjikuni Lake. 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.
@@scallopohare9431 The Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police decided to release an investigation led by Sergeant Jay Nelson Nelson, who spoke to locals and found that Joe LaBelle was a real individual but works only in northern Manitoba and not near the supposed Inuit village. He also discovered no one had heard of the village or its disappearing inhabitants. Because of this, Nielson concluded callous telling of the story, was just that, a story
@@bootsminor4364 Okay, but why not note any of that to begin with? That's a rhetorical question. Ta!
You cant hunt animals says cave paintings.
the pings, are maybe submarine pings?
This children's channel had me fooled at first. Now blocked
Huh?
2:56 both lake Anjikuni & E.Coonie are terrifying! It would take a real man a real hardened, tuff manly man. Still the ladder would most likely give nightmares
