  • Summary

  • In 1845, Sir John Franklin led 129 men on HMS Erebus and HMS Terror into the Arctic, vanishing without a trace and sparking one of history’s most haunting mysteries. This Halloween, we explore the eerie legacy of the Franklin Expedition: ghostly sightings around the shipwrecks, chilling whispers near graves on Beechey Island, and cursed artifacts that bring misfortune to those who dare disturb them. Was it lead poisoning, starvation, or something supernatural that doomed the crew? Join us as we dive into the deep end of the Arctic’s frozen secrets and uncover what happened to Sir John Franklins Northwest passage expedition.

    Correction 1: During the episode we incorrectly stated actor Alfred Molina (Doctor Octopus in the Spider Man movie) played Sir John Franklin in the AMC show The Terror. The actor who played Franklin was actually Ciaran Hinds. Thank you to listener Lara Mangieri for pointing this out! You're correct, they do look similar.

    Correction 2: Joe mixed up Vitamin C and D by stating you get Vitamin C by sunlight. Vitamin C is acquired by the food you eat and Vitamin D is made by your body when exposed to sunlight.

    Correction 3: Mike mispoke a couple of times during the timeline segment and referred to the Back River as the Black River.
