In this chilling episode of The Paranoid Perspective, we journey to the remote and abandoned village of Portlock, Alaska—a place where legends speak of a murderous creature lurking in the wilderness. Once a thriving cannery town, Portlock was mysteriously deserted in the 1950s after decades of unexplained deaths, disappearances, and terrifying encounters. Was it a Bigfoot-like cryptid known as the Nantinaq? Something even more sinister? Or was there a more human explanation hiding beneath the surface? We dig into eyewitness accounts, chilling folklore, and historical clues to uncover what really drove an entire town to vanish into the Alaskan wilderness.
