Deep in the wild, untamed heart of Canada’s Northwest Territories lies the Nahanni Valley—a place of staggering beauty, towering peaks, and a chilling legend that has endured for over a century. The Dene people spoke of a land cursed by vengeful spirits, a place where those who entered often never returned. But it wasn’t just stories that fuelled the fear—it was the bodies.
For decades, prospectors and explorers seeking fortune in the valley met a gruesome fate. Their remains were found scattered through the wilderness. And then there was the most disturbing detail—their heads were missing.
