Living in arctic regions can certainly bring about some eerie experiences! One of the creepiest things I’ve heard from those who live there is the phenomenon of “ice quakes.” It’s unsettling to be in the calm quiet of the arctic landscape when suddenly the ground shakes beneath you, accompanied by loud cracking noises as ice shifts.
Another common experience is witnessing the Northern Lights on particularly still nights. While beautiful, the vibrant colors dancing across the sky can sometimes feel otherworldly or almost eerie, especially when combined with the absolute silence of the frozen wilderness.
And then there are the myths and legends surrounding the area, such as stories of the Qallupilluk, a creature said to drag children under the ice. Whether you believe in them or not, these tales can definitely add a layer of creepiness to an already harsh and isolated environment. What about you? What experiences have you had that felt unsettling?
