Portlock: Alaska's Ghost Town Hunted by a Beast | The Nantiinaq Enigma

Journey into the untamed heart of Alaska on Cold Logic as Silas Gray unearths the terrifying true story of Portlock, a thriving early 20th-century village on the Kenai Peninsula that became a ghost town by the 1950s. Its abandonment wasn't due to famine or economic collapse, but to something far more primitive: a relentless, intelligent creature that hunted its residents.This episode delves into the chilling legend of Nantiinaq, the Alaskan cryptid described by the native Alutiiq people as an 8-foot tall, hairy biped with an impossible gait. Explore the horrifying details of unexplained Alaska deaths, missing hunters, and bodies found mangled beyond recognition, consistent with no known animal predator. Hear compelling witness accounts that span generations, painting a consistent picture of a terrifying presence in the deep woods.Cold Logic applies a rigorous scientific analysis, debunking theories of bear attacks, serial killers, or mass hysteria, as the physical evidence simply doesn't fit. We then push boundaries with an AI behavioral prediction model, which astonishingly suggests the creature is likely an undiscovered primate species displaying "high cognitive avoidance" and "strategy"—not myth.Finally, we plunge into the chilling conspiracy layer: Why has the federal government shown no official wildlife study or excavation in Portlock? Was there a government cover-up? Could the rumored 1985 military operation "Silent Ridge" have been deployed to confirm and contain the creature's existence? Is Portlock a warning, part of a global pattern of Bigfoot attacks or other hominid cryptid encounters (Yeti, Yowie, Sasquatch) that authorities prefer to keep hidden?Tune into Cold Logic and decide for yourself if this remote abandoned town was simply a victim of the wilderness, or if it was driven to extinction by a beast too terrifying, and too real, for the world to acknowledge.#PortlockAlaska #GhostTown #Nantiinaq #AlaskanCryptid #Bigfoot #PortChatham #ColdLogicPodcast #SilasGray #KenaiPeninsula #UnexplainedDeaths #MissingHunters #AlaskanMystery #CryptidAttack #GovernmentConspiracy #AbandonedPlaces #AlutiiqFolklore #AIAnalysis #SilentRidge #HominidCryptid #Yeti #Yowie #Sasquatch #TrueMystery #WildernessDisappearance #UnsolvedCase #ParanormalPodcast #ConspiracyTheory #Alaska #Podcast Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cold-logic-podcast--6699574/support.
