About author(s): ADAM Shoalts is a historian, archaeologist, geographer, and Westaway Explorer-in-Residence at the Royal Canadian Geographical Society.
In delving into the dark corners of Canada\'s wild, The Whisper on the Night Wind combines folklore, history, and adventure into a fascinating saga of exploration.
It is a spine-tingling adventure, straight from a land steeped in legends and lore, where Vikings wandered a thousand years ago and wolves and bears still roam free.
Adam Shoalts , decorated modern-day explorer and an expert on Wilderness folklore, picks up the trail from a century ago and sets off into the Labrador wild to investigate the tale.
Something really did emerge from the Wilderness to haunt the little settlement of Traverspine.
The eye-witness accounts were detailed, and those who reported them included no less than three medical doctors and a wildlife biologist.
But what happened at Traverspine a hundred years ago was different.
Most are easily dismissed by skeptics.
Tales of things that go bump in the Night are part of the folklore of the wilderness, told and retold around countless campfires down through the ages.
Families slept with cabin doors barred and axes and guns at their bedsides.
Children reported being stalked by a terrifying grinning animal.
Sled dogs went missing.
Unearthly cries were heard in the night.
Strange tracks were found in the woods.
In the early 1900s, this isolated little settlement was the scene of an extraordinary haunting by large creatures none could identify.
Today it is an abandoned ghost town, almost all trace of it swallowed up by dark spruce woods that cloak millions of acres.
A century ago, it stood near the foothills of the remote Mealy Mountains in central Labrador.
Traverspine is not a place you will find on most maps.
