Episode 21 - The Headless Men of the Nahanni River Valley

Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling

11/16/21 • 116 min

Nestled deep in the heart of Canada’s Northwest Territories and the McKenzie mountain range, Nahanni Valley has some of the most remarkable landscapes on earth. Mountain peaks so sheer that they protected the valley from the last ice age, raging rivers thousands of feet deep, thousands of miles of ice caves, acres of hot springs, and waterfalls double the height of Niagara. Pair with that a vast history of Dene lore laden with evil spirits, Sasquatch-like creatures, giants, enormous white wolves, and creatures left over from the Pliocene period! And oh yeah! UFO sightings galore! When prospectors start turning up headless, the intrigue really gets dialed up.

A STORY NOT ABOUT THE GOLD THEY FOUND, BUT WHAT FOUND THEM!
