Haunted History

Today’s story is one shrouded in mystery; it’s the tale of an ambitious expedition that met with disaster, resulting in the death and disappearance of 129 souls. The many searches and recovery missions in the years that followed only produced more questions. Why were the abandoned ships found so far apart from each other? Had there been any survivors? Did the crew really result to cannibalism for survival? And were some answers found in the spirit world? 

Today, I’ll be telling you the tale of Franklin’s Lost Expedition.
