STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE ANJIKUNI VILLAGE PEOPLE
Mysterious Dissapearances – Other Dimensions – Part Two Of The Series
Many people refuse to acknowledge, we are not always in control. So what of this story? How can anyone ever explain this logically?
On a freezing winter’s night in November 1930, Canadian fur trapper, Joe Labelle was to discover, under the glare of a full moon, one of the most remarkable disappearances known to date. The bustling Eskimo village’s 2,000 inhabitants, located on the shoreline of Lake Anjikuni in Canada, had vanished without trace.
Labelle’s discovery began as he approached the village with nervous trepidation, when an unnatural silence met him. His anxiety lifted a little when he heard the crackling embers of a fire. As the flickering, amber flames came into view, he dashed towards it in the hope of finding someone attending to it. However, he was met with a pot of blackened stew still simmering and no one around.
Labelle then walked around the village peering cautiously into every hut, where he noticed food and provisions in abundant supply in each. The fish storehouse was also adequately stocked, but not a soul or a sleigh dog was to be seen. Labelle looked around the perimeter of the village and noticed there were no footprints in the snow-covered ground to give lead or clue as to the villager’s whereabouts.
Labelle, now panic-stricken, took off running non-stop to the telegraph office. A message was sent to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who turned up a few hours later.
The Mounties searched the village…what they found would have chilled any man to the bone. In the village burial ground, every single grave was unearthed and empty. This was even more unnerving as the icy ground around the graves was as hard as rock.
A massive search party was organised. During the investigation, there was another unsettling discovery; the entire pack of sleigh dogs were found buried under 12 feet of snow…all had starved to death.
If that wasn’t enough, all of a sudden a strange blue light began shimmering on the horizon. This was not the Northern Lights, it seemed artificial and pulsated until at last it faded into the darkness - leaving all who witnessed it, dumbstruck.
Every newspaper in the world reported the mass vanishing of the 2,000 Eskimos. Many thought the disappearance would lead to some sort of logical explanation, but to no avail…the Anjikuni tribe has never been seen again.

Merry Christmas to you too! Bless you sweatheart!
Eh, I recently discovered a story almost identical to this as part of a creepypasta archive. Now, the writing appears to be the same exact creepy story — and it SHOULD be quoted on several other sites, this simply features a few changes here and there. My question is, which one is real damnit? This is creepier than the Dyatlov Incident if it is real, and on a much bigger scale — which is more intimidating, but less creepy (meh, they had no feeling of aloneness, nor did they wander off into the hostile East Russian wilderness in an unprovoked desperation, naked). Any cited sources? All the sites I’ve gone to lack literally ANY, damnit. Halp if you can!
Here’s a link if you’re curious, to a couple other uses of this story.

Calm down. If you scroll through all comments on this section you will see that the Canadian RCMP categorically identified the tale as a hoax. Old maps list no such village on Anjikuni lake.
no way
Way, check it out online.
Hello,
If this story is hoaxed, then that’s ashame. I read about it years ago and have always been intrigued by it.
Scott, there are plenty of great disappearance mysteries out there, and many of them are documented on this site. The disapppearance of James Worson, the disappearances around Bennington, Vermont in the 1940s and many others are well-covered and make great reading.
I know of a real town that disappeared about 1930 without a trace. I saw Cyano South Dakota listed on an old map but there is no trace of it and it is not listed even on the internet. A Great Uncle remembered the last people who lived there died in the early ’30s and he showed me the location.
Nothing is left but an empty field off of someones section road now that the railroad is gone and the state highway passed them by.
That is kind of sad when nobody even remembers the town anymore, now that my uncle is gone.
I first read about this in ‘The world’s greatest UFO mysteries’ by Roger Boar & Nigel Blundell and I do believe it was down to extra-terrestrials.
several of us have double checked and the only way you can do anything more is to go there in person.
that’s right the RCMP has done that over the years and they are the ones who said there never was a village in that location, it is the hoaxsters or UFO searchers who wanted to sell books about a mystery that never was who started this.
there are plenty of valid mysteries without worrying about one that never happened
