The Eskimo town that disappeared to borders of the Anjikuni lake

From time to time the police still returns to try to discover the cause by which a whole town of thousand two hundred inhabitants and even the deads of their tombs, vanished without leaving no sign, in the dark of a boreal winter. The mystery began in 1930, when the hunter Arnand Laurent and his two children saw a strange sparkle that crossed the northern sky of Canada. Laurent declared that the light changed of form per moments, so that at a moment was cylindrical and to the following one it seemed an enormous bullet.

Few days later, a pair of members of the mounted police that went way of the Anjikuni lake stopped in the cabin of Laurent in search of a shelter. One of them explained that in the lake a problem was something as well as. The police asked the confused Laurent if the light that had seen directed towards the lake and this one responded to him affirmatively.

The police moved the head without more commentaries, during the following years the Laurent did not return to be interrogated. That was a comprehensible negligence because the Real Mounted Police of Canada already was occupied at that time with the strangest case of its history

When another hunter, call Joe Labelle, marched with his snow rackets towards the town next to the Anjikuni lake, he felt overwhelmed by a strange sensation of terror. Normally, that one was a noisy rural nucleus of thousand two hundred people and that day, Joe would have hoped to hear the dogs of the sleighs that barked to give their habitual welcome him.

But the huts surrounded by the snow were shut in silence, and it did not leave huno any chimney.

When happening through the border of the Anjikuni lake, the hunter saw that the boats and kayaks still were moored to the border. Nevertheless, when he was of door in door, only he found a solitude mysterious. Still they were supported in the appreciated doors rifles of the men. No Eskimo traveller would never leave his rifle in house.

Within the cabins, the pots of caribou stew were moldy on fires extinguished long time ago. On a rickety old bed there was a spotted anorak by halves and two needles of bone next to the article.

But Labelle did not find bodies, neither alive nor deads, nor either violence signals.

In some, moment of a normal day - close of the lunch according to it seemed took place a sudden interruption in the daily work, but what the life and the time seemed to have stopped in dry.

Joe Labelle went to the office of telegraphs and transmitted its report to the headquarters of the Real Mounted Police of Canada. All the casual officers were sent to the zone of Anjikuni. After a few hours search, the mounted police gave with the dogs of the lost sleighs. They were tied to the trees near the town and their bodies were under a solid snow layer. They had died of hunger and cold.

In which outside the cemetery of Anjikuni, took place another chilling discovery. Now, it was a place of great abiertas tombs, of which, under a glacial temperature, somebody had taken corpses.

Tracks outside the town were not seen, nor either possible means of transport by which people could have fled. Without being able to think that thousand two hundred people could vanish of the Earth face, the Real Mounted Police of Canada extended its search. With time, the investigation covered all the Canada and would continue during years. But after so many years, the case follows without solution.
