At 4:10 a.m. on April 29, 1903 the inhabitants of Frank a small bootlegging and mining camp at Crow's Nest Pass heard a distant roar. The town sat at the base of Turtle Mountain in the southwestern corner of the District of Alberta, Canada. Little did they know that within less than two minutes, a landslide brought down over 80 million tons of debris that obliterated the eastern end of the town, including many inhabitants that have remained entombed until this day.

In 2010, Forrest Fenn (1930-2020) the owner of a gallery in Santa Fe, hid a bronze treasure chest that weighed 20 pounds and contained gold nuggets, rare coins, jewelry, and gemstones estimated to be worth $2 million. He wrote a book with hints as to where the treasure was hidden.

On October 22, 1927, the lumber schooner Coos Bay went wrecked outside Golden Gate off Mile Rock, while a thick fog covered the area. It had a crew of 30 and no passengers, but it seemed in the coming days that there was a 31st person on the ship.  The Alkimos was a merchant ship, one of many that wrecked off the coast of Western Australia in 1963. What sets it apart are the persistent stories that it's a cursed ship.

"When misguided public opinion honors what is despicable and despises what is honorable, punishes virtue and rewards vice, encourages what is harmful and discourages what is useful, applauds falsehood and smothers truth under indifference or insult, a nation turns its back on progress and can be restored only by the terrible lessons of catastrophe."
