In 2006, when I took a vacation to Amsterdam and Belgium, the plane that I was on flew over Greenland and Iceland. I remember looking out the window and seeing a white landscape over both islands. I wondered how people can live in such cold conditions. I heard stories about haunted places in Iceland, but couldn't remember if I ever heard about haunted places in Greenland. Greenland seemed so desolate. To my surprise, Greenland does have some haunted sites. Before I get into my list of the most haunted sites in Greenland, if you want to see my story about my visit to Amsterdam and Belgium, stop by here:

QULLISSAT
Qullissat was once a thriving coal mining town, and it was abandoned in 1972. There were many severe injuries and deaths at this mining town. In its heyday, there were 1,400 inhabitants. The coal mine was productive from 1924 to 1972. When the coal was gone, the government closed down the schools and shops. People were homeless and had to find other places in Greenland to live. The former inhabitants of Qullissat caused many problems for other towns that were forced to take these people in. Over a thousand people from Qullissat had to find new living conditions. People who have visited Qullissat will most likely experience some kind of paranormal activity. Visitors have heard disembodied voices. The sounds of screaming. One local has seen a miner crawling on the ground and yelling in pain, only to vanish. The air is thick near the mine and some people started choking, because the air was so thick. What is also interesting about Qullissat is that some locals have seen Adlets nearing the mining area. Adlets are cryptids and part of the Inuit mythology. They are described as having humanoid bodies with wolf-like legs. According to legend, the Adlet were born from a woman named Niviarsiang and a dog named Ijirqang. The Adlet are said to be cannibalistic warriors with red fur, sharp claws, and yellow eyes. Special Note: Notable inhabitants of Qullissat are: Greenland’s former premier, Kuupik Kleist, and Aka Høegh, one of Greenland’s most recognized and beloved artists.

SERMERMIUT:
Sermermiut is located near the Ilulissat Icefjord. This ancient settlement has a history that goes back 4,500 years. The site is known for its archaeological significance and ghostly legends. Many locals have seen the spirits of Dorset and Thule Inuit hunters walking around the land. Some of these ghostly hunters are carrying long spears. Sermermiut was first excavated in 1952 and then in 1983, where evidence of many different cultures was found. It is now part of a UNESCO World Heritage area, and you can access it via a wooden walkway. At the end of the walkway, you get to a place called Nakkaavik, which means “the place where you fall.” The name comes from a time when the elderly threw themselves off a cliff during famines. Locals have seen full body apparitions jumping off the cliffs. One local makes claim that an entity told her to leap off the cliff. Sermermiut at times can be a very scary place.

WESTERN SETTLEMENT:
This Viking settlement mysteriously vanished in the 14th century. Theories range from climate change to alien abductions to other types of supernatural causes. Logical thinking people believe that the Little Ice Age caused the Vikings to seek out new homes. There have been some reports of unusual flying blue orbs hovering over the settlement. The Western Settlement was a group of farms and communities established by Norsemen from Iceland around 985 in medieval Greenland. The demise of the Western Settlement coincides with a decrease in Summer and Winter temperatures commonly known as the Little Ice Age. In this area cryptids called Qivittoq have been seen. The Qivittoq legend speaks of people who have exiled themselves into nature and, over time, transformed into supernatural beings. Qivittoqs are believed to have the ability to turn into any animal and are considered spirits. Sialorta Brandt who lives in Greenland witnessed a Qivittog. Sialorta describes the Qivittoq having one arm that looked like an octopus tentacle. It also had a bear claw, a pig's tail, the body of a bear, a face like a dog or wolf and deer antlers. It also only had 3 toes and 4 fingers. Sialorta said that the air near the creature started glimmering. The creature walked into the glimmering airway and vanished. Sialorta believes that the creature walked through a portal.

KANGEQ
Another abandoned village is the Nuup Kangerlua fjord, Kangeq is known for its decaying wooden houses and the haunting atmosphere that surrounds it. Many ghosts have been seen walking around the old wooden houses. These places not only offer a glimpse into Greenland’s past, but also provide a sense of mystery and intrigue. Greenland is known for its many ghost towns. The abandoned village of Kangeq is perched on an islet in the Nuup Kangerlua fjord. The cluster of wooden houses have paint peeling from their once colorful walls. Some of the wooden houses have caved-in roofs, opening up their interiors to the sky. Inside, cupboards hang open, empty. Then there’s Bluie East Two, an abandoned American air force base, where the stripped-down metal skeletons of cars and trucks are surrounded by granite peaks. Over 10,000 rusted fuel barrels litter the landscape, locals call them ‘American flowers’. It’s not just these post-apocalyptic visions of modernity that mark the landscape. You’ll also encounter the crumbling stone ruins of Viking houses and farmsteads, the remains of pre-Inuit settlements. And who knows what traces of ancient cultures are frozen within the permafrost. The reasons why there are so many abandoned places in Greenland are many, and complex. From colonialism to a changing climate, this is what led to the waves of settlement and abandonment on this icebound island. The ocean closes to Kangeq, you may see a cryptid called the Kajanok. This cryptid is described as a giant aquatic arachnid found in shallow bays and lakes in Greenland and the Canadian Arctic.

As you can see, there are many places in Greenland that are haunted and filled with mystery. If you are a paranormal investigator, you will be very busy investigating.
