Headless Valley

This travel film was made by amateur filmmakers Mel and Ethel Ross about their expedition to the Nahanni National Park Reserve in Northwest Territories, Canada in 1958. They were drawn to the region by myths and folktales that painted the area, and particularly the Headless Valley or Nahanni Valley, as being a dangerous and mysterious place where prospectors and adventurers went missing or were killed in unexplained circumstances and later found decapitated.
