An American author by the name of Frank Edwards is purported to have started this story in his book Stranger than Science. It has become a popular piece of journalism, repeatedly published and referred to in books and magazines. There is no evidence however to support such a story. A village with such a large population would not have existed in such a remote area of the Northwest Territories (62 degrees north and 100 degrees west, about 100 km west of Eskimo Point). Furthermore, the Mounted Police who patrolled the area recorded no untoward events of any kind and neither did local trappers or missionaries. excerpt from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Official website. http://www.rcmp.ca/history/anjikuni_e.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

343 Guilty Spark Posted June 21, 2005 #9 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I know it wasn't real. I'm just saying it was a strange story and how can a village hold 6 million people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

343 Guilty Spark Posted June 21, 2005 #11 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I read the link. But i'm just saying that the writer who made up the disappearances didn't even do research about these villages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodie.Lynne Posted June 21, 2005 #12 Share Posted June 21, 2005 And why would he? It doesn't take a literary genius to create a 'spook story'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
343 Guilty Spark Posted June 21, 2005 #13 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Yes I know, but the more realistic it sounds the more people are going to belive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodie.Lynne Posted June 21, 2005 #14 Share Posted June 21, 2005 LMAO!! You are kidding right? I have seen some people who will believe anything, no matter how hare brained, simply because they WANT to believe. Do a search on the subject of this village, just on this forum. It should prove to be illuminating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
343 Guilty Spark Posted June 21, 2005 #15 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I like to look at the facts in a story. When I first read the story I had my doubts about the number of people in the village. Just the skeptic inside me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goblin Shark Posted June 21, 2005 #16 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I remember reading that book just a little while ago. I was pretty skeptical of that particular story, because being from Canada, I thought that I would have heard about it before. Sure enough, it is false.

LordBailey Posted June 21, 2005 #18 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I like to look at the facts in a story. When I first read the story I had my doubts about the number of people in the village. Just the skeptic inside me. 690263[/snapback] Read it again. It says 6 million missing in the world. The village only had about 1,200 men, women, and children. The 6 million is more like 4.5 million, but it IS true. There is a growing number of missing people worldwide totaling around 4.5 million. That number is really astounding when you think about it. They compared it to the entire state of North Carolina disappearing... But that number is world wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizeebutt Posted June 23, 2005 #22 Share Posted June 23, 2005 even if a whole village was missing, wouldn't ytouthink there would be relatives in OTHER towns that would have noticed them missing and filed reports long ago?

Carlotta Posted June 23, 2005 #25 Share Posted June 23, 2005 The vanished village story is much more believable to me than the stats on "vanished people" in the year 1995 alone. Four million in the USA and over two million more from the rest of the globe? I was so busy wondering about that, unable to believe it, that I couldn't feel more about the vaniashed village part of the article than just terible pity for the dogs, in case it was true.
