Cariboo Mulenappings
AI-Generated Summary
This document describes a series of mule disappearances in British Columbia between 1863 and 1865 that were associated with sightings of mysterious hovering white lights. The Pinkerton detective agency attempted to investigate and stop the losses but was unsuccessful.
This document, an excerpt from Gene Duplantier's 1979 work 'The Night Mutilators,' recounts a series of mysterious events occurring along the Cariboo Trail in British Columbia, Canada, between August 5, 1863, and early 1865. According to the text, white lights were observed hovering over night camps where supply train mules were resting. These sightings were reportedly linked to the recurring disappearance of three mules during each appearance of the lights. The Pinkerton detective agency attempted to intervene by establishing a decoy mule train to prevent further losses, but their efforts were unsuccessful, as the disappearances persisted whenever the lights visited the camp. The document notes that agents personally observed the hovering white lights and were unable to explain the subsequent loss of three more mules following a head count. None of the missing animals were ever recovered.
None of the missing mules was ever found that vanished whenever the brightly shining lights did their dance in the night sky.
