151. Portlock and the Nantiinaq Part 1

The fishing village of Portlock, Alaska was abandoned in the 1950s and the stories ran rabid on why everyone would leave a still prosperous and lively town. The natives told stories of the vicious creature that stalked the woods that they referred to as the Nantiinaq. The upright walking hair covered creature stalked the past and it never left. Bodies of hunters showed up in the bay, a man was found bludgeoned to death, and many witnessed this giant wildman of the woods with regularity. Rumor has it, the tension got so bad with the creature or that everyone left their established lives in order to save themselves and their families. Today we dive into the story behind Portlock and the Nantiinaq. Welcome back to Infinite Rabbit Hole! infiniterabbithole.com
