I attended a symposium on the Franklin expedition after visiting the exhibit here at the Anchorage Museum. It was interesting to see how the local Inuit people had repurposed many of the items discarded by the expedition. Knowing that the Inuit don’t work metal, it was fascinating to see blades made out of old tin cans, etc. many of these items had been passed down in families for generations.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the airship Italia. They were trying to reach the North Pole in it and ended up crashing along the way. This caused the gondola to detach from the rest of it, and the only survivors of the expedition were in the gondola. They had quite the ordeal before they were rescued. Meanwhile, there were crew members still in the main hull of the airship who had no way to control it without the gondola, and having been relieved of this weight, the hull shot up into the air and was at the mercy of the Arctic winds.
Linda Moulton Howe has an account of a largish group of Antarctic scientists who disappeared for a long period of time, then reappeared later but would not could not communicate with the plane drivers picking them up. They were quickly evacuated from Antarctica by US authorities.
The "ping" was obviously US submarines using or testing anew sonar system. That fact would be HIGHLY classified and the Canadian government would have to say they "found nothing". The fact that the sound stopped shortly after their involvement is no coincidence, not quite proof, but ...
The show they made about the Terror, while obviously a lot of it fictionalized because they literally don't know what occurred between certain events that they found the records of, was really good. I forget where I listened to it, but there were a couple channels that did long versions of the Terror and Erebus, if the fictional show did maintain accuracy where they could, it's freaky just how far away from each other they actually were, and how all those men just literally vanished into the frozen wastes
"The Ping" story immediately reminds me of this current season of True Detective on HBO. Thus far, almost everything the narrator described (the artic cold, missing animals, etc.) has happened on the show. Makes me wonder if the writers heard about this story. 🤔 Great video as usual! 😉
Anytime i hear about a town of people suddenly dying off overnight and a lake is involved, it makes me think about that tregedy where all that CO2 bubbled up from the lake bed and wormed its way thru the valley, seeping thru the town, and suffocating every occupant of the town except for one person. Tragic..
Have never seen a rise through the ranks (my own bias very unofficial ranking system) like you Mr Dark5. The only Chanel I look forward to more is history for granite and that's only because he's about to Crack a case!! You are crushing it
I’m curious what Franklin was thinking making his ship Erebus and Terror? Common belief was many of the crew succumbed to lead poisoning from the canned food. If you want to see pictures , there are photos of some of the crew they found. You can google them.
@@72tadrian65 Of course. Aliens are well known to travel across the galaxies to prey on small villages or to steal livestock one animal at a time. Give 'em another hundred years of snatching specimens for their labs and they'll surely learn something about human anatomy and medicine. btw, their skin must be tougher than our as alien skeletons are usually found with lips intact. 🙂
"Some things you can't find out; but you will never know you can't by guessing and supposing; no, you have to be patient and go on experimenting until you find out that you can't find out. And it is delightful to have it that way, it makes the world so interesting. If there wasn't anything to find out, it would be dull. Even trying to find out and not finding out is just as interesting as trying to find out and finding out, and I don't know but more so." - Mark Twain
You should look into the arctic mystery of where all the road graders disappeared from my town. One day they were clearing the roads like always, the next, poof.. gone, never to be seen again. This happened right around the time the city manager promised that if the graders pile up a snowbank blocking your driveway they'll clear it for you, no charge. Now they use trucks with grader blades.
It was/is. My cousin lives where it happened and it was either them or the mines. More towards the mines so as to mine our land. We try our best mot to let the mines mess up nature/hunting. Was around the time mary river mine was expanding or opening.
I found you when you had a worse robot voice just did quick synopsis with a theme like the top ten lists These longform thingies youre doing are pretty cool though More engaging, like, i feel like i can sit back with a drink and just learn some creepy cool stuff. Its nice
How would cannibalism surprise anyone when they were freezing and starving. Why do people even do this stuff?? Go to freezing cold areas, then get surprised by reality.
I take my hat off to these people who live in a cold place like this and survive, I couldn't do it, but smthg weird happened to these folks; the planet was alot different back then 😮!

In 1988, the Australian Skeptics contacted the RCMP historian, S. W. Horrall, who wrote: Many years ago the members (of RCMP), then retired, who had served in the area at the time these events were purported to have happened (1930) were asked for their comments on the story.

No one named Joe Labelle ever came to the RCMP in panic about Lake Anjikuni. The RCMP did not send out any search parties. The only records we have on the story are copies of letters to correspondents like yourself informing the writers that the story is entirely fictitious.

I would like to request you to say your words a bit slowly, slowly please. You do pause between words but you say the words (each single word) too fast. Your followers are global - so make allowances for differences in English accent. Otherwise, your content is great and intriguing.
Too much sulfur is what killed the animals, a fate similar to bisons and elk that congregate during frigid temperatures at geothermal springs in Yellowstone.
I love the way they keep mentioning Canada. But they never mention the US presence at that time prior to the disappearance of the village. They *Never* do.

The choppy, rushed performance here helps the mood, but that’s not needed - the material alone does that LOL!

Possibly, but then why did they stop when they did, and we would have blamed them. @@kingbullyrock8739
Definitely something that smells like "Cold War stuff"
The only person who hears a sonar ping is the sonar operater. If you aren't listening with headphones , no one can hear the ping
That sounds like quite the theory.
