About this episode

The episode discusses the mysterious Franklin Expedition of 1845 and the ghostly advice received by Lady Jane Franklin.

One of the most famous lost expeditions in history was led by Sir John Franklin back in 1845. The famous explorer led a group of 129 men on a journey to find the fabled northwest passage through the arctic. But when he never returned, his wife Lady Jane Franklin began receiving advice from the ghost of a little girl named Weesey, who told her where to look.
