Years ago, back in the very late 90's, I was listening to Art Bell, as I worked the deep-night shift. He had a panicked caller one night, who claimed that the population of a rural town in western Pennsylvania (I can't remember the town's name, now) had suddenly vanished, and that the town had been surrounded by Federal troops. He claimed that he had been driving through town when it happened, saw the people "wink out", and floored it to the next town, to try and tell the police -- just as military helicopters swooped overhead......I haven't been able to find a single other account of this, since - meaning that it was almost certainly a crank caller - but if it was a crank, that guy should have been in Hollywood, because he was definitely convincing.

[@Ann-sj4pt]

There's been stories of people driving into weird towns where every store they went into, had the same people working there that were at the previous shop...like they ran out of one shop and into the backdoor and acted like they weren't the same people. Someone had commented and said it sounded like an CIA town...meaning the town was for a large scale training scenario, but the people driving in were unexpected and treated like regular customers.

[@jasonotto9126]

Mr Ballen talked about this one. Check it out. But yes would be better on this channel with the awesome drawings.

[@mirandagoldstine8548]

I have no doubt it’s haunted. I have a theory that a good deal of the hauntings are caused by spirits who suffered traumatic deaths. I have read online about people who visit Pompeii reporting hearing Latin and smelling the lingering scent of sulfur even when Vesuvius isn’t particularly active. And if you know your history then you’ll probably see why Pompeii and Herculaneum are hot spots for ghost sightings. Of course there are other sightings in which the spirit didn’t suffer a traumatic demise but wanted to remain on this plane to watch over a loved one or act as a guardian of a place they adored in life, sometimes acting as protectors of people who aren’t related to them in any way, shape or form

[@mariemarie2888]

I’ve seen a few things about the people who bought the place and I’m sure they had a lodger who stayed on the property. It’s such a terrible story about those men and how they died. Apparently there’s the ghost of a male in a red tshirt and he’s walking into the wood surrounding the home.The whole story is creepy.

[@audreymuzingo933]

The fur trader's story has always intrigued me, but I wish I knew what the original story was. Seems like every time I hear it there are different details, including ones that don't make sense -and I don't just mean in the ways most mysteries don't make sense. I mean there is literally no reason why smoke would still be coming from fireplaces of a village that had been without food for so long that their sled dogs had starved to death, nor would the people have the energy to dig up the graves of all their ancestors, especially from frozen ground. I've no reason to doubt that this Labelle feller wrote of an abandoned village, but clearly others have embellished the details over time, people with no idea how anything actually works, only a goal of creating the most spooky scene imaginable.

[@PoopMiester69]

Exactly, I have never heard the grave digging up part only the disappearance and that there were maybe 25 of them and that their dogs were also not there but their food still was

[@joshuahadams]

That far north, most graves were traditionally stone cairns. Easier to build up on the surface than mess around with digging through permafrost.

[@mirandagoldstine8548]

I actually have a theory on the truth which I have posted in the comments section of this video. I have to warn you however it contains a lot of my anger at the RCMP and why I think they claim it’s just an urban legend. Unfortunately without any evidence to back it up I can’t definitely prove it’s validity.

[@joshuahadams]

@@mirandagoldstine8548 some guy who _just_ got his trapping license that fall coming across some folks’ summer place when they’ve left for their winter one? Some dogs got left - heavens know huskies gets up to badness - and then broke into some cairns. Thats the easiest way to interpret that story. If there was a town there, they were probably sod houses with not much to leave behind once the inhabitants were relocated in the coming decades as Ottawa expanded its influence into the Arctic.

[@zerrodefex]

Yeah one of the first issues that I noticed was that the sled dogs had somehow starved to death but the fires were still burning?

[@laurelsilberman5705]

It’s extremely bizarre that ALL the huskies were starved to death; usually any animal faced with death or cannibalism will turn on its own kind. Very bizarre. Almost like they all got afflicted with the same thing that made them sickly and starve to death, rather than the abandonment of their humans leading to such uniform appearance in malnourishment.

[@lexxstrum]

Also weird they were starved to death, but the Trapper got there while fires were still burning? Can't you go like a week without food? So their dogs starved to death and then the people left the camp?

Pretty sure this was debunked ages ago. The original article was written by someone known for embellishing stories and had at least one photo claiming to be of the village that was already decades old by the time of publication. The RCMP was never able to verify that a village had even been established in that area.

[@TheKulu42]

It would be interesting to find the village's site and do a bit of archeology. Of course, the decay and likely scavenging from passersby may mean there's little to find.

I've heard of this, but it still creeps me out. NOT TO BE THAT GUY... but if the fires were still burning, and the food still freshly laid out, why would the Huskies have died of starvation?

[@Randall1001]

Thank you for doing this one! One of my favorite unexplained stories. I first read about it in one of Frank Edwards' books ("Strange World" perhaps?) and it's fascinated me since. Evidently the skeptical theory is that it never happened at all and that Edwards may have even made the whole thing up, although I think that unlikely. But apparently the RCMP denies the entire thing ever happened, and there are a lot of logical challenges to details in the story... such as the unlikelihood of an Inuit village having existed in that area, and so on. Whatever the case, like the Orang Medan mystery ship, it would be interesting if someone, sometime, could get to the bottom of this and figure out the true source of the story.
