In 1950, the entire population of Portlock, Alaska, fled their homes, leaving dinner on the table. They didn't leave because of the cold. They left because they were being hunted.
Welcome to Terra Incognita. In this episode, we investigate the chilling true story of the Portlock Haunting. Located on the isolated Kenai Peninsula, Portlock was a thriving cannery town until a series of brutal, unexplained deaths forced a mass exodus.
The locals didn't blame bears or weather. They blamed the Nantinaq—a massive, bipedal creature that the indigenous people have feared for centuries. Unlike the shy Bigfoot of the Pacific Northwest, the Nantinaq was aggressive, territorial, and violent.
We dig into the archived telegrams, the police reports of "impossible" strength, and the testimonies of the survivors to uncover why the US Post Office sent one final message before going dark: "We are leaving."
