That's when a man named Frank Edwards publishes a book called Stranger Than Science. It's a collection of short, true stories about things that are mysterious and unexplained. Honestly, it covers a lot of the same topics we've discussed here on So Supernatural. But the book also has a short chapter dedicated to Joe LaBelle and the missing town at Anjikuni Lake.
If he interviewed Joe or the Mounties, or if he's just going by old newspaper accounts. Though I will say, Frank's version of the story includes some details that don't quite match Joe's original account.
The podcast mentioned a 1983 paperback that covered the Anjikuni Lake case and quoted three fur trappers who claimed to have seen strange craft, though the hosts warned the book contained numerous factual errors.

— Episode: DISAPPEARED: Anjikuni Lake
The podcast mentioned a 1983 paperback that covered the Anjikuni Lake case and quoted three fur trappers who claimed to have seen strange craft, though the hosts warned the book contained numerous factual errors.
For example, a 1983 book called The World's Great UFO Mysteries covers the disappearance, and it includes statements from three fur trappers. They were passing near Anjikuni Lake around the time of the disappearance. At one point they looked up in the sky and saw one or more strange craft flying overhead, and apparently they were headed right toward the village.
Their account was only reported in one place, in the book The World's Greatest UFO Mysteries. And that book got a lot of the facts wrong. For example, it says the village had a population of 1,200 people, not just 25.
