Episode 356: In this episode, we explore two enduring Canadian legends that have captivated imaginations for generations. Our journey begins with the Lost Lemon Mine, a tale from the Canadian Rockies dating back to 1870. Two prospectors, Frank Lemon and "Blackjack," allegedly discovered gold, but their expedition descended into a dark saga of murder, madness, and an alleged curse that has kept the mine's location hidden for over 150 years.
We then venture to the frigid wilderness of Nunavut, where the mystery of the vanishing village at Angikuni Lake unfolds. In November 1930, fur trapper Joe Labelle reportedly discovered an abandoned Inuit settlement, sparking an investigation and endless speculation about the disappearance of an entire Inuit village. Join us as we delve into these fascinating Canadian mysteries, examining the evidence, historical context, and their lasting impact on the nation's folklore.
