ANJIKUNI LAKE
Legends of mysterious disappearances have sprung up all over the world. Undoubtedly, the most famous incident in American history is the unknown fate of the citizens of the Roanoke colony, who were last seen in 1587, but an even more unexplainable case refers to the whereabouts of the more than 30 men, women and children who supposedly disappeared without a trace, of an Inuit fishing village in the first half of the 20th century. The Anjikuni Lake (also spelled Angikuni) is located along the Kazan River in the remote region of Kivalliq, Canada. The area is full of legends of forest spirits and harmful animals, such as the Wendigo, but as fascinating as these tales, it is the terrible mystery that surrounds the collective disappearance of the inhabitants of a town that once lived on the stony shore of the icy waters of Lake Anjikuni. But let's start from the beginning. One cold night, in November of 1930, a fur trapper by the name of Joe Labelle was heading to the Inuit town in search of refuge from the intense cold, a hot place to spend the night. Labelle had visited the area before and knew it was a bustling fishing village full of tents, huts and friendly locals. As he approached he shouted a greeting and the only sound that returned to him was that of his own echo, only the crunch of his snowshoes could be heard through the icy frost.
