The Horrifying Incidents of the Valley of the Headless Men

  • There is a place in Canada’s NW territories that is as mysterious as it is remote. It’s a place that’s known for its incredible beauty while simultaneously having a reputation for something darker. Some of the names of the areas in the region include Deadman Valley, Sunblood Mountain, and, most infamously, the Valley of the Headless Men. All of these names were supposedly inspired by the events that took place here. This is all especially strange when you consider that not a single person lives here, and the only way into to the area is by float plane or by boat up a long winding river. It just seems impossible that so many incidents could have occurred in a place where there isn’t anyone, and yet they have. These are the strange incidents of the Nahanni National Park, and the Valley of the Headless Men. As always, viewer discretion is advised.

      Actually, the head fairies are a greatly misunderstood sub-branch of the cryptid tooth fairies. Long believed to be ruthless headhunters, extensive scientific research has since revealed that they are, in fact, simply tooth fairies who are too lazy and impatient to wait for the rest of one's teeth to fall out, so they just take the whole darn head. Accordingly, they leave nothing under your pillow because you won't be needing that pillow any more.

    I want to give you major props for looking beyond the "ooooh, mysterious!" aspect and actually discussing alternative and rational explanations. Most similar channels that have discussed this area double down on the SPOOOOKYYYYY and fail to recognize that there probably actually are perfectly normal explanations for these things. It's a big, wild, dangerous area, and people may not be found for a very long time after their deaths, especially in an era long before things like satellite phones and rescue beacons!

    I’ve been to one part of Nahanni and was struck by 2 things:
    1. it was incredibly foggy which I didn’t understand at the time.
    2. It was quiet. I’m talking deserted quiet. Have you seen alien covenant? It felt like when they landed on that unknown planet following the neutrino burst.
    I was doing some writing for a project and after going ended up speculating the stories were from other prospectors as a way to keep others from stripping the resources so only a limited people could extract material. Which unfortunately meant they had to follow through on this. It’s the only thing that made sense given the theatrics and shear effort of removing human heads. And in a weird way it did work. I never bought it was any original peoples. As you correctly stated it was far too inhospitable for too many major distributions - enough to warrant that kind of violence. But that’s just my take on it . Could be revenge kills. Not a big believe in cryptids and don’t know any land animals capable of that either

      haven't even finished watching but I paused to comment that I bet the brothers were killed by someone they were working with, who betrayed them and stole their gold. your theory sounds very plausible, too. it's the least unlikely explanation, one thing that is never unexpected is humans being greedy and betraying each other.

      That's what I always thought. I mean, we're talking about gold here haha. It'll turn any bad person into a murderer, I wish the Canadian police just found out who else was living there, that's probably the culprit but I haven't heard great things about them but that's police all over the world. I bet whatever happened to those people in the first half of the century isn't a problem these days, I do believe something was going on though (other than exposure) because the events are much too suspicious.

    As usual i can't wait to watch new Scary Interesting content, and this story captivated me more than some. These types of story's always have some bit of truth behind them. Whether a single headless man may have been found at some point, the spin and lore can magnify the truth to something enormous to keep story tellers alive with lore or to keep people out is up for interpretation. Epic story though and one that intrigued me soo much.

    This gives me something else to think about after this awful last week. Was sick and in a lot of pain from Helene and my home in Asheville where I used to live is gone. I live in FL now but have been planning on returning to Asheville but it’s definitely going to be to have to wait until they repair. Now we are worried about more storms and I’m all hurricaned out. We had flooding from Ian but nothing like my favorite home of Asheville!

      @@flash_flood_areathat’s ok. You are not acting ignorant. You are not familiar with hurricanes in the SW. yes, Joyce is out there last I heard and some others were in the process of forming. 2 models are showing that we may get a hurricane on the peninsula of Florida on the west coast and then cross over to hear and if the storms are cat 4 or 5 then by the time it gets here it can be a cat 3 still. Ian hit us very hard in 2022 and we had major flooding. Just about the entire city streets was under water and some people had up to 5 feet of water in their homes. One man died in his own home when he fell and couldn’t get back up because his house was completely flooded and he drowned in his own home. We got lucky that the water came to our back door but didn’t make it in because we were high up enough. Plus the business on the other side of a small pond we have behind our house they were all flooded. The bank had to work out of a trailer for several months. Homes along the beach were teetering over the edge but didn’t go into the surf. We got about 2-2 1/2 feet of rain and high winds from Ian. We were the worst hit in all of eastern and central Florida. Then came Nicole and she finished what Ian started in many cases and the homes that were teetering ended up collapsing into the sea. The first 10 years I lived here I remember 1 hurricane and her name was Erin but minor. A couple of tropical storms including 1 that kept making u turns on us so after he hit us we were like “great. Go away” but he made a u turn and hit us a 2nd time and ended up in The Atlantic Ocean and was headed north until he said “I really like Florida”. He made yet another u turn and came here for a 3rd time. One year we had a tropical storm in January which never happens but it did then.
      As long as the sun is in its solar maximum we will be at risk for hurricanes like this. Every 11 years the sun will flip its poles so south becomes north and vice versa. Eventually earth will too and the North Pole on earth will become the South Pole but that’s doesn’t happen as often as the sun flips its poles.
      I had hoped to return to Asheville soon especially with me being fed up with hurricanes but it will probably take a few years now

    I'm quite uncomfortable with the increasing focus on the paranormal in the last couple of videos. It's extremely hard to find channels like this on RUclips that don't promote baseless conspiracy theories with no substance behind them so I'm pretty alert to any warning signs that someone is going there and it's really disappointing that one of the few factual channels is starting to give them so much air time. I appreciate it's getting hard to find content but when you're spending more time on the claim that it's weird that people would die in such a remote, inhospitable place than to the evidence of mythologising and the fact that this isn't even remotely an unusual number of deaths, and when you uncritically refer to the Missing 411 which has been convincingly debunked, it does you a HUGE disservice. I've stopped watching so many people because once they lend credence to conspiracy theories it brings everything they say into question and they are no longer a trustworthy source of information. Please focus on actual facts, they're just as scary as the lies and nonsense.

      How has Missing 411 been debunked?
      They have found people in the wilderness with surgically precise holes cut into them and their blood and organs missing. Same with cattle. UAPs have been observed all over the world by all different kinds of people, including members of the military in active duty. UAPs have, in some cases, been officially recognized as real. It's not far-fetched to say that someone or something, human or otherwise, has the ability to create highly-advanced flying machines which are capable of abducting humans and other animals.
      In addition to this, our scientific understanding of existence is limited, and therefore the scientistic (as in the religion of science: scientism) rejection of the paranormal is very dogmatic and flawed. It claims that scientism must be adhered to and is the only way to understand existence and scientistic consensus makes reality. "Scientism doesn't acknowledge it so it's nonsense!"
      In other words, the paranormal can be real and to dismiss all of it is foolish.
