    • @mysticaltemplar73
      @mysticaltemplar73 20 дней назад +3

      I personally think there are possibly two things in play here or maybe only one. One is obviously some mysterious beings that don't want intruders on their land. The second element (and main element) of my theory is the native tribes are partially or primarily involved in this. Evidence 1) If you noticed the killers don't attack when there is a larger search party, mostly more well armed due to missing persons and being in higher alert. Why do I blame the native canadians to be a part of this? 2)From the story there is clear signs of some intelligent being wanting to destroy evidence by all the burning of the cabins when there is a cabin involved. Remember at least one of the story had the prospector dying before the cabin being burned down with him him inside. 3)All that gold missing from the dead prospectors (and nothing else) clearly points to the attackers knowing their worth and having use for them by selling. 4)Coincidentally the tribes being aware of one of the search party's movements, running into them ,and warning them of unknown scary dangerous beings unless they were shadowing the search party all this time. How are they able to easily shadow the search party? When the search party fill up supplies in the small towns nearby it is extremely hard not to miss it, especially when most of the population of places like Fort Laird (just outside of Nahanni park) is composed of native indigenous people. I find it strange they ran into the search party by huge coincidence in a huge and very remote area that is also rarely visited once in a half dozen years or so. Highly unlikely by mathatic probability. 5) The other strange thing is how are these tribes able to live side by side these supposed dangerous beings without being wiped out unless they are the main culprits in all this and the other dangerous entities (if there is any) is most likely being a minor secondary. The tribes (or a small portion of them) are the ones doing the killings because they know well ahead of time there is going to be movements from prospectors (or search parties) into the Nahanni valley from news of them buying supplies in very small towns like Fort Laird (population 500ish) who are mostly composed of indigineous people. They shadow them and kill them to scare future people from intruding and taking their gold. The gold going missing from all those cases says a lot; whoever killed them thought it was valuable and had a use for the gold and incentive to keep intruders from taking more gold away.

    When the local Natives tell you to stay away, get out, or hide, listen to them. They're showing you kindness, and they know what's out there.
    I lived with my ex-husband 's grandmother. She was the eldest member of the tribe. She told me places that I could never go alone, and places that she didn't want me to go at all, because there was evil out there.

      This story was most likely a gold prospector or prospectors, creating a spook story and actually murdering other possible gold prospectors in order to keep them away and keeping the area to themselves to gold hunt. Burning their cabins, taking their gold. And when other people started with haunting stories, it lined up perfectly in their favor. It could have even been local government/law enforcement in on it. Striking a deal to take a portion while the area was kept clear for one group to mine.

      At the end of the movie when the last guy is running from whatever it is, they run to the hermit's home and hammer the door, the hermit doesn't even open it, you just hear their voice from the other side say something like "The valley doesn't like visitors" right before the last guy is pulled into the forest by some unseen force, you hear a scream, and the movie ends.

    • @WhitneyDahlin
      @WhitneyDahlin 3 года назад +155

      I don't know if the police are protecting something in the valley so much as protecting themselves! The police probably didn't want to spend any more time in that valley than they absolutely had to and they definitely didn't want to spend the night out there if they could help it. So I kind of understand why they claim none of the deaths are connected and they are all just natural cause deaths. Because if that wasn't the case they would have a duty to go out there and stay and figure out what's going on and none of them wanted to do that. I don't even feel bad for those gold miners who CHOSE to go into headless valley after the original 3 deaths. Come on. There have been like a dozen mysterious deaths most of them involving decapitation and the name of the place is f**king HEADLESS VALLEY. I don't even feel bad for you if you CHOOSE to go out there. I honestly believe it was probably another Gold Miner/s who wanted to keep all of the gold in the area for themselves and so just started ambushing and killing anyone who was in the area. They probably figured if they killed enough people it would deter others from coming out there. It's also possible the native Americans didn't take kindly to randos showing up in their area using up their resources (wild animals for food chopping down trees etc) and taking their gold off their land. Either way it's probably safe now. I'm more interested in the caves along that area though. I really wish some brave cavers would go out there and explore the caves and film them so we can see what's in them.

      Technically there is a movie based on a book thats based on a theory about the culprit behind the decapitations. It's called the 13th warrior and it isn't the same kind of story but the main point of that there is a group of people in a plot of land that attack tresspassors by burning down their buildings and defile the corpses by decapitating them. Good movie but the book it's based on is incredible. However one thing to note about it, is that it's a viking movie so don't be surprised when they don't just shoot the guys or get mad when they mistake their presence as something supernatural because thats how people thought back then.

      Bruh like what wild animals just take the head .Also they found the head intact which to me means that animals didn't do it because after eating the fleshy parts of the head they would try to get to the brain for it's very nutritious to the animal. (That's what I think animals would do if they head just yourhead) plus animal's would most definitely go after your legs, your arms, or your chest frist snice most organ meat is very nutritious. Also why just the head and go through all that effort when the rest of the boats right their.This is why I agree It's a tribe that's very aggressive and territorial.
