Deep in the Keewatin Barrens of what is now the territory of Nunavut, amid an endless plain of tundra and muskeg, lies lonely Angikuni Lake, one of a myriad of near-identical watering holes which dot the historic homeland of the Inuit and Chippewyan Nations. This nondescript body of water serves as the setting of one of Canada’s spookiest urban legends: the story of village of 25 Inuit said to have vanished without a trace in the autumn of 1930.

Some of North America’s most disturbing mysteries are unsolved disappearances in which human beings vanish without a trace in national parks and other wilderness areas. In this video, we explore a spate of such cases said to have taken place on British Columbia’s Cariboo Road during the Cariboo Gold Rush.

In this video, Hammerson Peters, Loren Coleman, Kevin Guhl, and Ted Doades celebrate the life and work of cryptozoologist Mr. Gary S. Mangiacopra, an unsung hero of the Fortean community remembered for his tremendous research and his unfailing generosity; co-author of the 2007 book ‘Does Champ Exist?’, and author of many an article on the subject of hidden animals.

Gary passed away in his home on November 14th, 2022, from natural causes.

Rest in peace, Gary.
