Angikuni Lake 'vanished village'
A 1930 newspaper story claimed trapper Joe Labelle found an Inuit village at Angikuni Lake empty, with food on fires and graves opened; it is still told as a mass disappearance.
1930 CE · 62.20, -99.90 · status: hoax
The account
The tale grew in Frank Edwards' 1959 book, adding dogs starved to death and strange lights.
The sceptical view
The RCMP found no such village and no missing people; the area had no large settlement, and the story is traced to a reporter, Emmett Kelleher.
