The Village That Vanished

FOLLOW OUR PODCAST

History is littered with instances in which large groups of people disappeared under mysterious circumstances. In most cases, some form of explanation for what happened has eventually been accepted. But with a precious few, the facts are so inexplicable that no convincing hypothesis has ever been agreed upon. In this story, we examine one such occurrence—the village that vanished.

A new episode from Bedtime stories is always deeply appreciated and welcomed!

[tehol]

Bedtime Stories is like the Unsolved Mysteries from my childhood. Man I loved that show. It used to freak young me out when I watched it. Good times.

[borleyboo]

Excellent as usual. A very creepy story but I believe it has been embellished down the years. As I understand it, Inuits would NEVER leave their dogs behind as they are cherished members of the tribe.

[SgtRocko]

I've heard of this, but it still creeps me out. NOT TO BE THAT GUY... but if the fires were still burning, and the food still freshly laid out, why would the Huskies have died of starvation? That takes a while. I seems like something that was added in later by others. Still, great tale, well presented. Thanks!

[jasonotto]

Please dont ever use AI art. I love whoever does your illustrations. ❤

[jbear]

I don't accept that any Inuit would ever leave their dogs voluntarily.

[YankeePendragon]

Terrific treatment of the incident in question. Mirrors reports of Mayan settlements disappearing prior to the advent of the Spanish explorers. Thanks also for including links for further reading and investigation. Much appreciated.

Years ago, back in the very late 90's, I was listening to Art Bell, as I worked the deep-night shift. He had a panicked caller one night, who claimed that the population of a rural town in western Pennsylvania (I can't remember the town's name, now) had suddenly vanished, and that the town had been surrounded by Federal troops. He claimed that he had been driving through town when it happened, saw the people "wink out", and floored it to the next town, to try and tell the police -- just as military helicopters swooped haven't been able to find a single other account of this, since - meaning that it was almost certainly a crank caller - but if it was a crank, that guy should have been in Hollywood, because he was definitely convincing.

As soon as I saw the title, I knew what it was about. Hello from Alberta, Canada!

It's 4am, the wind is blowing and the rain is belting down and up pops a new video from my favourite YouTube channel 👍

[MandyMan]

Have you guys heard of Fox Hollow Farm? It was once the home of serial killer Herb Baumeister and is now allegedly haunted by the ghosts of his victims. Could be an interesting topic for a future episode

Here is the glaring problem with this "story": the dogs were starved, skeletal, yet there were fires still burning and food freshly laid out for cooking.
You have a time frame of hours, not days or weeks, if fires are still burning and the food for cooking looks to be fresh.
Those dogs didn't starve to the point of being skeletal in a matter of a few hours.
The skeptic in me says there's more to this than what appears on the surface.

[Megaflytron.]

Excellent work on this you guys. Hands down this is the best rendition of this mystery that has been published. Bravo

[MrPolkaParty]

the stories and artwork are both top notch
keep up the great job

Just got home $280 ahead from the casino only to find my absolute favorite channel uploaded.

Simon says to sit my ass down and watch it.

[CowboyJWS]

Dude the story line..the music..and THE ARTWORK IS ABSOFUKINLUTLY AMAZING

[audreymuzingo]

The fur trader's story has always intrigued me, but I wish I knew what the original story was. Seems like every time I hear it there are different details, including ones that don't make sense -and I don't just mean in the ways most mysteries don't make sense. I mean there is literally no reason why smoke would still be coming from fireplaces of a village that had been without food for so long that their sled dogs had starved to death, nor would the people have the energy to dig up the graves of all their ancestors, especially from frozen ground. I've no reason to doubt that this Labelle feller wrote of an abandoned village, but clearly others have embellished the details over time, people with no idea how anything actually works, only a goal of creating the most spooky scene imaginable.

[lilliankeane]

Thank you for the wonderful narration and images. I love it!

[LisaCooper-thevegan-]

Thank you bedtime stories! Just before my bedtime i now have something good to watch 😁👍❤️❤️

[YankeePendragon]

Oh, and thanks also for the glimpse of 'Tornrark' at beginning at 5:09, plus the faint blue glow on the horizon at 17:03. Thanks also for *not* showing anything of the supposed AEP. Little things like this just make the whole store all the more eerie and unsettling.
