In the 1930s, in Northern Canada, a fur trapper named Joe Labelle stumbled upon a small Innuit village that had been recently deserted. Many wondered what drove the villagers out so quickly, as weapons and clothing were left behind, dogs were left to starve, and a grave had been dug up, inexplicably. Some say that strange lights seen over the region during the time of the disappearance, may be the biggest clue of all.
