Episode 25 - We have all heard about or have seen Canada’s breathtaking wilderness. Thickly packed forests, towering mountain ranges, and beautiful turquoise rivers. This week's story takes us to the Nahanni Valley, a place that many of you have never heard of before but it is no exception to the beauty of Canadian wilderness. Situated in the Northwest Territories, this national park consists of forests, waterfalls, lakes, rivers, and four deep canyons. However, the beauty of this place is quite deceiving, the Nahanni Valley has a darker side. A side so full of unexplained deaths and disappearances it has been named as Canada’s most mysterious and cursed national park. Based on a string of decapitations that began in the late 1800’s and early 1900's it earned the name: Valley of the Headless Men. Does this place harbor a dark secret that people have fallen victim to or is there a more logical explanation?
