The women were all members of the McCleery family: sisters June, Annie, and Doreen; their cousin Shirley Rogers; and their three friends, Jackie Roger, Geraldine Bogart, and Diane Choquette.

On July 3, the women set out on horseback from a ranch in the remote northern town of Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan. They were planning to ride for a few days in the nearby wilderness.

But something went wrong. The women never returned to the ranch. And their horses didn’t come home.

A search was immediately launched, but no trace of the women was ever found. The case quickly became one of the most baffling and haunting mysteries in Canadian history.

Over the years, there have been many theories about what happened to the women. Some believe that they were abducted by aliens. Others believe that they were attacked by wild animals. And still others believe that they simply got lost in the wilderness and died from exposure.

But the truth about what happened to the seven women of the McCleery family remains a mystery. And the case continues to haunt Canadians today.

The Search

The search for the missing women began almost immediately after they were reported missing. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) launched a massive search operation, which included ground searches, aerial searches, and searches by boat.

The search was hampered by the vast and rugged terrain of the area where the women had disappeared. The wilderness was thick with trees and underbrush, and there were many lakes and rivers to search.

Despite the challenges, the RCMP searched for months. But they never found any trace of the women or their horses.

Theories

Over the years, there have been many theories about what happened to the seven women of the McCleery family.

One theory is that they were abducted by aliens. This theory is based on the fact that there were several UFO sightings in the area at the time of the women’s disappearance.

Another theory is that the women were attacked by wild animals. This theory is based on the fact that there are many bears, wolves, and cougars in the area where the women disappeared.

Still another theory is that the women simply got lost in the wilderness and died from exposure. This theory is based on the fact that the weather was very bad at the time of the women’s disappearance.

The Truth

The truth about what happened to the seven women of the McCleery family remains a mystery. And the case continues to haunt Canadians today.

There are many different theories about what happened, but there is no definitive answer. The women may have been abducted by aliens, attacked by wild animals, or simply gotten lost in the wilderness. But the truth may never be known.

The case of the Seven Women of McCleery Mountain is a reminder of the dangers of the wilderness. It is also a reminder that there are still many mysteries that remain unsolved.

The Legacy

The case of the Seven Women of McCleery Mountain has had a lasting impact on Canada. The case has been the subject of numerous books, articles, and documentaries.

The case has also inspired a number of memorials and tributes to the women. There is a memorial plaque at the site where the women disappeared, and there is a scholarship fund in their name.

The case of the Seven Women of McCleery Mountain is a reminder of the fragility of life. It is also a reminder of the importance of family and friends.

The women of the McCleery family were loved by their families and friends. They were young women with their whole lives ahead of them. But they were taken from their families and friends in a tragic accident.

The case of the Seven Women of McCleery Mountain is a reminder that we should cherish our loved ones while we have them. We should never take them for granted.
