Emptiness, which kills

This valley locals scare naughty children, and mothers travelers at the mention of her grind out a smile and conversation to another. Where gold lies beneath their feet, but few dare to touch the precious metal. Valley headless - so dubbed in Canada, this quiet, sleepy hollow. Because at this point the passion for wealth could cost the Braves head. In the literal sense of the word.





...
The end of the XIX century. Crowds of crazed people from all over the world spellbound with tales of the Klondike gold nuggets and Bonanza, rushed to North America in the hope of getting rich quickly and easily.
And in 1889, six miners stumbled upon a canyon leading to the valley, which passed it by even the Indians. Caution, this six did not listen, believing that the revolvers and rifles best remedy against superstition. They went through the canyon, and only after a few years of their skeletons in an embrace with rifles found near the washing trays. Rollins was not. The first victims of the terrible Valley. More precisely, the first of which it is known. We do not tend to be afraid of what happened long ago and not us. Enough of 16 years, to the horror of the Valley gave way to curiosity. And, of course, the desire to get a lot of dull shiny yellow metal. Next came the brothers and the young dealer McLeod Robert Vere, who went to the Valley of the river South Nahanni River. Three years later, they found the remains of bleached casual hunter. All things, weapons, supplies were in place. It lacked only the skulls. That's when the Valley began scaring miners really.
Police reports are good because they dry language leaves no room for other interpretations. Just the facts. Royal Canadian Mounted Police began collecting reports of missing people in the Valley headless since 1905. Collecting - because neither explain what is happening or to find the culprits, or even to put forward more or less plausible version of the outrages perpetrated nobody could. And the people were deprived of goals. In 1921, a victim of the Valley was John O'Brien, a year later - Angus Hall. Phil Powers decapitated body was found in the summer of 1932, and William Eppler and Joseph Malgelland disappeared in the 36th. In 1940, it was reported the death of a hunter Homberg, in 1945 - Savard, in 1949 in the gorge of Nahanni gone Shebah police. Equally vanished without a trace in the next year, two prospectors - Orville Webb and Thomas Papp.
Surprisingly, the first major expedition to explore the Valley was able to organize only in 1962. However, the good is not over. From six scientists led by renowned Canadian researcher Blake McKenzie were only mutilated corpses, of course, without goals. In 1965, an expedition of three people - two Swedes and one German - went on a canoe, "to find out the cause of all these mysteries." And they suffered the same fate.



...
As the years passed - and the clues are. None-the-art devices do not produce results. Exhortations authorities not to go into this cursed place has not stopped fans of adrenaline. In 1980, three former "Green Berets", boasted that they can survive in any environment, under contract with the magazine "Der Spiegel" pledged to carry out in the Valley for a month. But when the deadline expired for the award no one has returned. Moreover, sent on their quest rescuers also disappeared. In the end, the Valley was an expedition of six members, the team leader was appointed the famous American researcher of anomalous phenomena Dr. Henk Mortimer. Precautions wild. Even cars and residential trailer were armored. For communication with the base camp was equipped with the latest equipment. Nothing helped. In the evening, the first day of the operator heard terrible cries of the members of the expedition and the words radio operator Ray Wilson: "From the cliffs beyond emptiness ... It's horrible!" When the thirty minutes of a helicopter with rescuers landed in the parking lot of scientists, people have found not only researchers, but generally no trace their stay.



...
Until now, and I do not know what forces are killing people in the Valley. Some argued that it is simply bandits confusing traces of such an original way. Or the Indians, do not give anybody get close to the sacred gold of their ancestors. Or maybe it's Bigfoot, whom nobody has seen. But on closer examination version only cause a smile. Valley headless still dozing peacefully to the sound of the river South Nahanni River. Calm. Dead. Killer.
